I don’t always sing the jeopardy theme song, but when it’s a waiting game that’s longer than 1 minute, I do.
❓Why am I waiting for her to offer me eye contact❓
➡️ So she will learn to wait and look at me to tell her that she can get out of the car!

The best thing you can give your dog is structure!
1️⃣ Structured walks.
2️⃣ Structured playtime with you.
3️⃣ Structured socialization with dogs.
4️⃣ Structured time away from you-isolation or crate training.
5️⃣ Structured communication and rewards.
This is the secret ingredient to having a happy and balanced relationship with your dog!

Stepping in is another word for using spatial pressure. Either stepping into the dog that got corrected and blocking them from the other dog that needs space. OR stepping in by putting the dog that corrected behind you so you can let them know you will handle the situation for them.
This is SO IMPORTANT, because it is teaching both of them manners and this puppy is less likely to be bitten by a dog by understanding body cues and corrections.
Puppy socialization isn’t just playing with other dogs, but learning manners around them and EXPOSURE to all kinds of things in our big world-not just dogs.

🛑 Why is this important?
1️⃣ It sets you and your dog’s whole walk off nice and calm!
2️⃣ If your dog is off leash, then they know that they cannot rush out the door whenever-threshold manners!
3️⃣ Builds your relationship by improving your dog’s engagement to you.

👉Going outside is VERY stimulating for most dogs. If we are starting the whole process of putting on the leash all crazy excited, then your dog is going to have a hard time settling outside.

👀 Look, I used to think the EXACT same thing about e-collars until I was educated on them.
❌ MYTH
1️⃣ All e-collars cause pain to the dog and are aversive.
2️⃣ E-collars burned my dog’s hair off.
3️⃣ You can train all dogs to be off leash reliable without any tools.
💡TRUTH
1️⃣ There are so many e-collar brands out there and the more you pay, the better the quality. There are e-collars being sold that only go up to level 5 or 20, which means that the levels are way higher than a good quality tool. What needs to be banned are those tools, because they are cheap and do send out shock currents since the levels are already programmed to be too high. Dogtra and e-collar technologies are pricey, but do not have levels that start out being high. All my clients have tried their dog’s working level on their dog’s Dogtra or e-collar technologies and NEVER feel a thing, because it goes level 0-100.
2️⃣ This is impossible. I cannot back up the $30 cheap and crappy e-collars, but It isnt a burn on the dog’s neck that people are seeing. I have seen a sore or raw spot on a dog, which was because the owner did not put the e-collar on tight enough. When the e-collar is on too loose, there are contact points that start rubbing against the neck and causes friction and a raw spot. ALWAYS make sure the e-collar is on tight enough so the collar doesn’t move and rub against their fur/skin. Also, if your dog has a wet neck, make sure to keep the collar off until the neck is dry.
3️⃣ You can absolutely train a dog to be off leash reliable without any tools, but not every dog is the same. If you have a breed with big personality, high prey drive and didnt get a solid foundation and structure as a puppy-then most likely going to be really hard to train them to come off leash every single time. It depends on genetics, breed, how they are raised and if the owner can give them clear and efficient communication.

💩Tips for when your dog has the poops!
1️⃣ Feed your dog white rice and plain, unseasoned boiled chicken until it becomes solid.
2️⃣ No chicken and rice? Add canned pumpkn purée to their regular food. Can look up how much for their weight.
Purina Pro Plan Fortiflori is an excellent probiotic.
⚠️ If your dog is still having the poops that are runny or liquid and it has been more than 6 days, best to get them into the vet. Make sure your dog is drinking water, because it can be very easy for them to get dehydrated.

We also forget to acknowledge when our dogs are doing good! We forget to tell them at the right moments and it can be way easier to tap into bad moments. Same goes for any relationship. 😉
There are so many huge wins you and your dog have done and there will be so many more wins done together. 🥰
Thank you for listening to my Lara talk! 🤗

✖️ If your dog cannot come to you when called every time, then don’t have them off leash, because that will make their recall suffer.
➡️ It’s important to teach our dogs to break (be free) after we tell them a command like sit or down. We never make them stay in a sit or down after recalling them.
When we ask our dogs to leave and ignore that enticing smell or that stick and come to us, that’s hard! But if we can let them know they can get back to that smell and be free again after coming to us, they will have more incentive to continue recalling back. 😉
Picture this. You’re eating a delicious dessert and someone needs help asap in the other room, so you put the dessert down and help them then once you go back to your dessert, it’s gone. That is similar to us not letting our dog go back to whatever it was that they were enjoying.

👉 In this world, we worry so much about what other people think of us. I think we need to stop doing that and start worrying about what our dogs think of us.
I strive to be the best version of myself for my dogs, but when I notice I slip up and don’t provide enough guidance and patience for my own dogs…I am letting them down. And that matters.
A dog’s love is so unconditional and they are so forgiving, but they also need us to provide a fulfilling, structured and fun life where they can be the best dog they were born to be!
Okay, cheesy Lara is done. 😂

And sometimes I say “Thank you” if they bark once and leave it.

Why is this bad?
If we are petting or feeding our dog for barking, then that behavior is never going to stop. Not only that, but feeding our dog human food that is seasoned and has oil and carbs is SO BAD for them. 😖

When introducing the muzzle, I always start with this. This is an easy trick to desensitize the dog to a tool before even trying to put it on.
1️⃣This will associate it with positive because of the food.
2️⃣ It will help the dog feel more comfortable sticking their nose into the muzzle.
3️⃣ It gives the dog the choice to put his nose into it without any pressure AND
4️⃣ The dog can get used to the sensation of it.

He literally will be a pup burrito for hours, because he feels so warm and snug. 🥹
⚠️ Now my little dog would NEVER allow me to do this. He does NOT like being handled and this is asking too much from him. This is a good video to show you how some dogs do not mind being handled, because you can see the dog is not fighting this, looks relaxed by not licking the lips, not wiggling to get away and he is just content to be getting the attention and warmth.

Dogs learn so much from properly and safely socializing with other dogs! Minnie learned how to be more confident during play with Archie and she has come such a long way since day one with us!
