Debbie and Grimsby back for another lesson!
Today we worked on;
🐶 Grimsby coming back to Debbie to have his harness grabbed.
🐶 Grimsby coming running back to Debbie when he's called and allowing her to grab onto his harness.
🐶 Building more motivation for playing with a toy since Grimsby is not super toy motivated.
🐶 Building value for Grimsby's nose coming up off of the floor or ground so he can disengage from scents easier when out walking.
🐶 Building more focus and loose leash walking skills
🐶 Growing more focus and calmness when walking through doorways instead of it being an excited dash out the door.

Debbie and Grimsby came in for a lesson on Thursday, here's what we worked on;
1. Coming when called and checking in / moving towards Debbie after checking something out on the ground. This is a great default game to play to always be building up the skill of coming back.
2. Getting Grimsby to target Debbie's hand with his nose, trying to get more enthusiasm from Grimsby for these. Hand targets are wonderful for getting your dog's focus, getting them in different positions, teaching different cues, and getting them in close to you.
3. Harness touches and harness grabs, just like the collar grab game, this is an important skill for coming back when called, emergency situations, and for other games we'll play.
4. Building toy motivation during balance breaks.
5. Loose leash walking when heading towards the truck. Grimsby struggles a lot with this one and it's a challenge for him for sure. I've included audio on this part so you can listen in to what's really going on.
Great job Debbie & Grimsby!

Adali, Jose, and Balto back for lesson #4 yesterday!
We worked on teaching Balto;
1. How to loosen the leash when he feels it go tight.
2. How to go to and stay on the boundary until released.
3. Not to jump on someone when they are sitting down trying to eat, even if they are down low at his level.
4. More collar grabs for later when we work on him coming when called and other things we'll use it for.
5. To sit instead of jumping and biting for the tug toy.
They all did great!

In this lesson, Balto started learning some good manners around food such as;
🐶 How to keep all 4 paws on the floor when someone is carrying food around.
🐶 To stop biting and mugging the hand for treats, even if they are down low at his level.
🐶 How much fun tug toys are. Working on his cue to get the tug and how to release it when we want him to.
Wonderful session with them! Great job guys!

Dan brought Blue back in for another lesson today where we worked more on his leash walking skills. For this game, we played off leash, looking for those moments where he was in the right position, finding the right position, disengaging from distractions, and coming back when called. Great job Dan and Blue!

Come Join Our Puppy Class!
Since it's the end of the year, I will be hosting some Wednesday Puppy Class sessions to work on important skills for your puppy!
This is just a one hour session to work on introducing your puppy to a boundary, learning how to get their attention so they can focus on you, and we'll grow some important skills they'll need in order to be successful in any training you do with them.
I will be holding 3 of these to finish up the year, then in January I'll be opening an 8 week puppy class. So these will give you a chance to get going with your puppy now instead of waiting till the new year!
Since these classes are seperate from each other, you'll need to register for each one as they are available.
Price per class is $37.00
