My packages offer midweek follow ups, which must be scheduled when we start the package. Multifaceted is a value with all that is in the package, including an invitation to my private Facebook group.
Behavior Modification plans are tailored to your dog and this can take time. When changing a behavior, the dog needs time to learn. I always recommend the Initial Consultation to get started. Then a package plan can be purchased. Behaviors that have been rehearsed have been learned well.
A dog's body language is important, is all training set ups you will learn more about your dog. A dog may see a stranger and start barking. This is not a time to ignore, what the dog is saying. It's a time to question yourself at what just happened? What was different about this person? Dogs can pick up fear from a person.
Online zoom consultations can be scheduled 24 hours in advance. This is good for when you have a question.
In this course you will begin to learn how to start adding in other skills. How to add in distance between you and your dog. Using "touch" hand targeting. Duration is timing, and how long can your dog stay in position.
All animals have needs that need to be met. We bring animals into our homes and domesticate them. It's our responsibility to make sure they are being fulfilled.

Many people have dogs that have been adopted from a shelter or a rescue organization. Many dogs have been found as strays somewhere.
Most of these dogs come with unknown histories.
When scheduling an Intial Consultation, I will have many questions. What kinds of life experiences has your dog had? What kinds of "good" or "bad" habits has your dog developed?
Maybe you bought your dog from a breeder. Is your dog from a working line? Great! Let's start there.
An Initial Consultation is a full 90 minutes for $175.00. This is not your average consultation. You will get a start up session, and then I can create a tailored plan for your dog.

Have you noticed this in your dog today?

A dog with Separation Anxiety needs a support group. During those first 3-weeks I will be collecting data. There will be set ups involved.

Winter can be challenging for both humans and canines.
Today I took this dogs meal and split it up. First I used scatter feeding which gave her the opportunity to search for her food, the other half I put into a cardboard tube.

As I train dogs, I find what will be best for the dog. I believe in empowering the animal.
Georgia Peach π is very sensitive when her paws are touched. She becomes fearful π°.
With an unknown past history, she may have had a bad experience π or maybe never had the opportunity of her paws being touched when she was a puppy. I will never know, but I do know as her trainer, I will find what works best for her.
I trained her to "scratch" on cue. She now participates in her nail trimmings.
I didn't have to hold her down, against her will. I didn't need a muzzle. I worked with her and trained her in steps.
People often struggle with a dogs care, because of fear π¨ in the animal. Communication can go far.
An Initial Consultation is a good start to learn more.
The food bowl was created, but did you know dogs would really like to search for their food.
Often I will use puzzle toys, use scattering or be creative with boxes π¦ or the center of a paper towel roll.

Indoor Mind Stimulation with a Meal
Winter can be challenging for both humans and canines.
Today I took this dogs meal and split it up. First I used scatter feeding which gave her the opportunity to search for her food, the other half I put into a cardboard tube.
This provided good mind stimulation.

Teaching Georgia Peach π to Scratch
Georgia Peach π is very sensitive with her paws being touched. I've been working with her on touching her paws.
My goal as a dog trainer is to find what will work best with the animal. I don't want to cause stress or fear.
Georgia Peach π gets excited and is food motivated. My first set up, I used the verbal reward marker "yes" which she understands, pay is coming.
I put scratch on cue and continued training.
She is excited during this set up. Next set up, I will use duct tape. She is really putting pressure on the sandpaper.
Once I've completed repetitions on the front paws and proofed it. The next stage is to use a board laying flat on a surface with sandpaper and train her for her back paws, using a different cue just for her back ones.
Dogs can think and learn without fear.

Rascal Eating Portions of His Meal
Does your dog get to eat with a food and treat dispenser? Mind Stimulation is important.
Comment below.
#meccasallbreeddogtraining #mindstimulation
I don't have a flock of sheep, but I can provide this for Rascal.
Rascal is an Australian Shepherd/ mix. Herding breeds have needs to be met, like other breeds.
Do you have a herding breed?

Rascal Learning
Tricks are fun! Rascal is just learning. I use luring in my training.
How many tricks does your dog know?.
I've been acclimating Rascal to the nail dremmel.
Using treats and a LickiMat I'm building a positive association with the nail dremmel.
#meccasallbreeddogtraining
Listening to Rascal's Walk
I've been acclimating Rascal to the nail dremmel. My goal is for a walk with no clicking sound on the floor. From my observations, I think a little more off his back left paw πΎ will fix what I'm hearing.
Using treats and a LickiMat during set ups for nail trimming, I'm building a positive association.
He will learn good π things happen, when the dremmel comes out.
#meccasallbreeddogtraining #positivereinforcement #rewardbased #forcefree
Rascal Learning
Rascal moves about, I've learned about him since I've started his training.
It's a learning step for all dogs π they are not born with a leash attached.
This session will help him to LEARN what I would like for him to do. I noticed he is sliding, the surface is slippery. Placing a rug down can help him too.
Session's can be short and he will soon understand, I want him to sit when I put the leash the leash on. If a dog π has difficulty sitting, then a calm standing position is acceptable too. Dogs π do let us know, when something is uncomfortable for them.

Rascal is Loads of Fun
Rascal is energetic and loads of fun. He puts a smile on my face.
Mecca Curtice is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer in Sheboygan, WI., I offer private one-on-one dog training sessions. Private sessions are tailored to your dog training needs. I follow LIMA an acronym for the phrase β least intrusive, minimally aversiveβ. I am a trainer and behavior specialist who uses the least intrusive, minimally strategy out of a set of humane and effective tactics likely to succeed in achieving in a training or behavior change objective. Positive Reinforcement is my first line in teaching, training and behavior change.
I am also a Certified Dog Bite Prevention Educator I offer sessions in this to bring high quality dog bite prevention to the community, families and children. I teach people what to look for when a dog is stressed and ways to prevent a dog bite. This is great for adults and children of all ages.

I teach both basic and advanced obedience and behavior modification. Please check my website for single and packages for your training needs at www.meccasallbreeddogtrainingllc.com
My training sessions are private one-on-one in your home. I believe every owner needs to be strongly connected with their dog or dogs. I believe in every dog needs to be socialized and trained. A puppy has a critical stage in the beginning of life and that is the first 12 weeks with Mother and littermates. I cannot express how important this is.
There are 7 habits of highly successful dog owners those would be training, exercise, good food, leadership, play, management and patience. Every dog is an individual and they deserve to have access to these. Training is the best way to communicate with your dog. Dogs deserve exercise and that would be mental and physical. Dogs are social pack animals and we all need to show leadership in their lives. Dogs love to play and it helps build a stronger bond.
