Prior to our group training at the park yesterday, we got a chance to work on recalls with Luna while she is visiting with us.

Most think socialization your puppy is letting them run amok with other dogs. This is far from the truth. True socialization is creating calmness when others are around.
Doing nothing is a lot of doing something when it comes to training. Instead of letting your dog's go crazy, practice this exercise, especially if they have a problem relaxing.
KEEP THEM ON A LEASH!

Most people who bring new puppies into the home, miss the opportunity to teach them about rules and boundaries.
8 weeks to about 5 months old, is a very crucial age where they are learning everything about who you are and what they can get by with in the home.
Over the past several years, we are seeing more and more behavior problems from about 6 months up to 2 years old. These behaviors can be avoided if you parent your dog first, (more "NO's" than "YESES"), rather than spoiling them or letting them have too much freedom without establishing rules and boundaries first.
Now, not all dogs will develop severe behavioral issues if you do nothing, however with my puppy clients, we don't even take a chance of going down that road.
Start your puppy off right, so that you can enjoy the rest of their life without having to go back and fix things they have unintentionally learned.
SIDE NOTE:
"NOBODY GIVES UP A GOOD DOG"

When establishing rules, boundaries, and expectations for your dog, it is important for everyone in the household to follow them, or you will continue to have problems.
Be Fair
Be Clear
Be Consistent
Be on the same page

Huge turnout yesterday during our park training. It's hard to believe that most of these dogs were reactive not so long ago. Great job to everyone who continues to put in the hard work!
Things you will see in this short clip. LEADERSHIP and CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS
Things you will NOT see in this short clip.
1. Shoveling treats down the dogs throat
2. Redirecting behavior
3. E-Collars 🤷♂️

Starting your puppy off on the right foot will help in preventing unwanted behaviors.
Fear, insecurity, lack of confidence, aggression, and many other behavior problems can simply be avoided by parenting/teaching the dog the moment you bring them into your home.

We are seeing a high volume of fearful dogs, ranging from complete shutdown all the way to forward fear aggression, (flight, fight or freeze).
Avoiding, coddling, soothing, or creating safe spaces does not help them at all. Dogs learn only through experience.
If you avoid stressful situations because you let your feelings or emotions get in the way, you are only doing the dog injustice.
Be your dog's leader not a security blanket!!

As dog trainers, the number one priority should be educating the humans so that they understand them for what they truly are, not a human baby or child, but an animal worth respecting. Unfortunately, not all dog trainers do this as you will see in this video.

Wednesdays are the only days that we have off from private lessons; however, it doesn't mean that we are not training!!!

I have been told I needed more content to keep our social media alive.
As most know, I do not do board and trains unless it is a good reason to remove the dog from the home due to a behavioral problem, case by case basis.
I am not a internet trainer or wish to be one with how to videos. If you want to learn, you need to work with me. However, I will start posting video clips of evaluations and private lessons so those out there have an idea of what to expect from us.
Here is a clip from an evaluation of another client who previously worked with a trainer that was afraid of this dog, and never could solve the behavior problem.
Happy Training
