These two love to play together, but it’s essential for them to deescalate excitement and relax. I love working on the place command because it helps with so many behaviors🐶❤️

🐕 If I could only pick two commands to teach a puppy, they would be place and recall. Place teaches relaxation, healthy separation, strengthens impulse control, and prevents so many problem behaviors. Recall teaches your dog to consistently come to you, and I love celebrating the dog’s compliance.🐶

Boundaries and Back Up Command- Annie has her kitchen boundary (one preventative method for counter surfing), but gets too close to the countertop if one of her favorite foods is present. We use the back up command for her to give us more space. We also use the back up command during play when she’s too excited. Example: retrieving the tennis ball

The Doggie Doorbell…I have many owners ask about tools that help a dog signal to go outside. Just like any other dog behavior, supervision is essential for success.

It takes consistency, but it’s possible for your kids to walk the puppy.

🐶This pup is like Velcro and she would love to follow me around the house all day. There are times when she gets to follow me around and times when we work on training opportunities like working on her place command or down/stay command. There are many ways to naturally work on training and boundaries throughout each day.🐾

This guy was ready for his nap. 💤 I work with a ton of puppies, but also work with some older dogs with committed owners. Love what an individualized training plan and dedicated owners can do for behavior change!

Trainers’ dogs are not perfect and we are behaviorally shaping up specific behaviors. My dog, Annie, is 8 years old now and recently started presenting overexcitement at feeding times by shaking even though she would wait for an invitation to eat. She’s highly motivated by food. I wanted to make sure that I reinforced an appropriate state of mind. I then implemented the double down position where her muzzle lays on the floor. In this video, everything is done with gestures to decrease excitement. Many times, our verbal commands and pitch of voice can increase overexcitement.

Socialization Outing
Socialization Outing

Puppy socialization can safely begin before 16 weeks of age. I don’t recommend daycares or dog parks. Reach out if you need help creating positive experiences for your puppy.

Training buddies

Good recall is exciting! Responding to “come” after one stated command, is a skill I throw a party for and reinforce for compliance consistently. I always want puppies to turn towards their people.🐾

There are many ways to safely work on socialization with young puppies.🐾

This guy was so tired after his training sessions❤️

Day 3

Day 1

This 11 week old puppy just finished her B&T. So much progress, especially learning lots of boundaries and walking appropriately on leash. My family and I will miss her!

This girl is progressing quickly with treadmill training.

Thankful for this guy’s help with generalization. It’s so important that all dogs listen to their owners and not only their trainer.

Crate security💕 Love helping owners with crate training and teaching puppies to relax while crated.

I love to see puppies use their nose and work on this throughout training. This puppy is so sweet!

Puppies can have great leash skills🐾

So proud of this puppy! His owners have been consistently working with him and it shows. So neat to see his progress.🐾
