Working with Torgal on confidence building and reactivity in his neighborhood after a dog has gotten loose a few times and come after him and now he anticipates it every walk he goes on. You can see him checking half a block before even approaching for the dog and while keeping attention to me also searching for the dog so he can respond from his past negative experiences. We are going to practice with treats and or a high value toy to get him to forget and keep focused on the task at hand (his walk). Once Torgal is distracted from his potty walks or walks in general he then searches only for “triggers” such as the dogs in the neighborhood he has had negative experiences with. We will be posting more of the work and progress we make with him as he improves and see how much confidence we can rebuild. 🐶 Remember a free dog is a free you!
In my opinion, providing proper training is giving your dog freedom. We wanted to give Cash the Doberman the ability to run around and to have a reliable recall. After introducing the e-collar to him in a noninvasive manner, he’s doing great and both mom and dog are happy being able to roam off leash but in a safe way.
Here’s a reel on our annual Dick Russel Paper Plate Recall! It’s a fun competition that combines a stay, send away, and a recall with the dogs! I’m always happy to help out at the races at @canineprofessionals hope yall enjoy this little sneak peek.
What a great way to end the IACP conference by getting in a bite suit and getting bit! It’s not often I’m in a bite suit but when I am, I’m having fun shoutouts to Dominic for telling me what I need to do and Fabian for letting me use his suit!
Working with the puppy class week 5/6 on luring for leash skills, increased duration stays, and some fun games to help them practice various skills with “musical chairs”. This is such a great first puppy class of the season! Herman won the musical chairs till Wiz pushed him off the platform. When we get done with training we let the puppies have a few minutes to socialize and play and they are becoming some of the best of friends when in the beginning some were nervous and reactive to others! #puppyclasses #puppytraining #obediencetraining #leashmanners #musicalchairs #traininggames #kaninefreedom
Working with a more notoriously known for stubborness puppy that isn’t used to engaging for walks or handling can be difficult. We found Nala is motivated by movement, and food simultaneously but still will have some work to go. When your puppy is disengaged and refusing to respond give them a moment to think about what you are asking as well as gentle leash pressure in the direction you want them to go. Make it FUN for them to engage with you! We’ll be working with her for awhile so this is just the beginning of creating freedom for Nala and her handler! #freedogisafreeyou #kaninefreedom #basicobedience #trainingengagement #foodmotivation #leashmanners

Dog Talk with Valentine Komissarouk: Biological Fulfillment in Dogs
In this interview my friend Valentine and I will be discussing about biological fulfillment in dogs which can be so many things: play and food but also running on a mill, hunting, pulling weights, socialising, jumping on people, fighting a Vaccum. And you can use all of those things by putting windows and control on them and then using them for training behaviors or behavior mod which is super helpful when you work with a wide variety of pet dogs who don’t always fall into the standard tug/food drive category
