It is my absolute joy to help the guardians to sprout their trainer’s eyes through teaching.
Takin’ It To The Streets class is one of the unique and practical class for the guardians to use what they learn at classes to the real world!
Join the class in Burien! Space is limited! Sign up a class at @dogsdayoutseattle

Did you know there is a training game that covers Relaxation, Replacement behavior and Generalization practice? Yes, there is! It’s called Watch The World Goes By game.
Rules are just saying “yes” and give a treat when a dog notices something with eyes, ears and nose! A dog can practice a replacement behavior of reorientation and eating after noticing a possible stressor instead of lunging or barking at it.
How long do I need to do this?
A few minutes to 5 mins each practice x multiple times throughout a day at different locations
Where should I do this?
Both indoor and outdoor. If you do this game inside the house, you can open windows or curtains to change the amount of stressors.
I hope you give it a try!

Another year older 🥲 this was a big year for Ollie! Lots of changes and adventures— he’s made huge progress with his people reactivity and we couldn’t have done it without Sugako (@happystretch_dogtraining), Ollie’s trainer and now new friend.♥️ Happy 3rd (approximate) birthday to our Ollie!!!
I am always asked how accurate is the dog’s alerting behavior. It’s not 100% because dogs aren’t robots but it is pretty accurate.
There are many types of alert behaviors but Roma is learned to touch the handler’s hand when she notices another dog or/and stranger. We started this training as a replacement behavior for her leash reactivity. Now you can see how good she is! Roma makes me feel safe, especially when walking in the woods 🥰

Service Dog Saturday - I have the pleasure of working alongside several great non-profit organizations who train all sorts of service dogs, whether it be guide dogs, medical alert and response dogs, mobility dogs and more. One of those programs is Atlas Assistance Dogs, and it was such a pleasure to spend time with them at the Abilities Expo as one of their volunteers. Atlas is a nationwide non-profit organization that primarily supports people with disabilities in training their own service dog. They are in the process of obtaining accreditation from Assistance Dogs International (ADI). They also have a service dog trainer certification program, and a great Team Facilitator program for those interested in volunteering. You can find more information about them on their website, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions: https://www.atlasdog.org
Description: video and photo footage of four women working the Atlas Assistance Dogs booth at the Abilities expo, as well as two fully trained service dogs from their program, and one little intruder who is mister Blaze, a service dog in training from another wonderful non-profit organization. The two Atlas service dogs are a gray labradoodle with medium length hair, and a yellow Labrador. They are both wearing the teal Atlas Assistance Dogs vest and laying comfortably on their mats behind the booth, at times snoozing. Blaze is a black Labrador retriever wearing his red, blue and white service dog in training vest from Future Hope assistance dogs. More information on Future Hope can be found on their website and page: https://ourfuturehope.org/assistance-dog-training or https://www.facebook.com/OurFutureHope?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Have you ever seen a dog started “showing off” all the tricks s/he knows when you have a treat? Have you ever wondered why your dog does that?
It happens when a dog “scans” his/her reinforcement history and try to see which behavior will hit the jackpot. This is when you can see what behavior(s) has been heavily reinforced in the past. It also tells us what your dog’s default behavior(s) is!
Understanding each learner’s behavioral repertoire helps create an effective teaching strategy!

Who says cats are untrainable?! Wally is showing off his amazing agility skills! Wally’s mom did such an amazing job teaching the foundation skills to Wally. It was so easy to expand his repertory behaviors.
