Bodi’s first visit to a dog park and recall training on a long leash. #positivereinforcement #successiveapproximation #dogpark #recalltraining
Teaching your dog to respond to their name can help in many tricky situations. Dumpling is having the time of her life! #positivereinforcement #recall #recalltraining
Today we reached a milestone!! It has taken 20x 15min sessions to gain her trust and to leave the apartment! Look at her excitement too!! We still have a long way to go but every step is worth celebrating ❤️🐶 #bernadoodle #santarosadogtrainer #santatosaca #santarosa #sonomacounty
Pint sized #biewerterrier Finn is just adorable and so smart! He sneezes on cue and just loves attention.
Gabby was living on the streets and my clients rescued her. They wanted to foster and train her to be more adoptable. She has come a long way under their care and is ready for her forever home. ❤️ #rescuedog
Thank you for my personal tumbler @lakegirl_01 and allowing me to help you train your pup 🧡🐶🧡 Thank you 🧡 I love it! #tumbler #sublimation #dogtraining
You CAN teach older dogs new tricks. Lulu has learned how to sit and lay down with attention and duration at the age of 8! She is adorable and loving her training sessions ❤️
Beau is working on a few things. Extending his attention by adding distractions is a way of achieving this. Baby steps. What huge paws to grow into. Such a handsome fella! ❤️ #doberman #dobermanpuppy #puppytraining
Dakota now and then. He grown quickly and has socialized at @humanesocietysoco puppy drop off like pro! Good job Dakota! He also rides in the car so calmly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #puppy #goldendoodle #puppysocialization #puppytraining
Recall training starts at home. Well rewarded, step by step goals while slowly adding distractions and distance. It takes time but is well worth the treats, patience and effort! #goldenretrieverpuppy #recalltraining
Emma, so bright and full of energy ⚡️
No problem with Ruthie’s eye contact.
I wish they could always stay this small and innocent. It’s satisfying to shape a puppy’s behavior- what a privilege ❤️
When the student watches you arrive ❤️ Rocket is such a smart boy!
Penny was a rescue from a puppy mill. Her “mom” asked me to better her relationship with her as she had already had her for 10 months and although a little progress had been made, Penny was still an “outside” dog not enjoying human company.
By setting a basic plan with consistent positive goals, Penny and her mom’s relationship has grown significantly. Penny now seeks out her mom’s company and calmly lays with her at night for a few hours. She has started some nose work and even visited the groomer. We celebrate these wins. It’s amazing how slow and steady and positive reinforcement builds trust and meaningful bonds.
Using a #snufflemat on a rainy day to keep the kids stinulated. This is also a good distraction for dogs with separation anxiety.
A #snufflemat provides mental and physical stimulation to dogs. Good work Figgy and Newton!
