What is one of the first things you should teach your dog or puppy?
To look at you when you say their name! This is so crucial and this step is easily overlooked. It is not enough for your dog to recognize their name, they should make eye contact and be prepared to LISTEN to you when you say their name.
Teaching your dog to look at you and give their attention when their name is called is just like any other command, it requires time and consistency.
One of the easiest ways to start this is by playing the “name game”. Here is how to do this:
1️⃣ Simply take a seat and bring your dog into a low distraction environment.
2️⃣ Say your dog’s name and as soon as they make eye contact you say “Yes!” and reward
3️⃣ Do several repetitions and your dog will begin to understand you want eye contact
4️⃣ You can move your hand out so your dog needs to make a conscious decision to turn their head away from the treat with the hand and towards you instead.
Keep these sessions short, just 2-3 minutes to maintain your dog’s interest. We always recommend starting this exercise with your dog leashed. If you dog is struggling to look at you, you can give small, quick pops on the leash to redirect their attention towards you.
Over time you can begin incorporating this same principle on walks, at the park, add a command after the name and more!

There are a multitude of different training tools to help with your dog's behavior. In this video alone there are four different tools, let's break it down!
🐾1. Treats, a classic. In our clients pocket, she has her favorite training treat- freeze dried liver. When a dog has walked appropriately and good mannered for a set time frame, she rewards them with treats to reinforce the behavior. Each dog in this video is at a different stage in training and her expectations differ based on the individual dog.
🐾2. Prong collar. The lovely labradoodle -Indy- is sporting a prong collar. A prong collar is a great tool to help teach a dog that pulling is not an appropriate behavior on a walk. These collars are designed to apply evenly distributed pressure when the leash is pulled - they do not work or are designed to cause pain. It is important to have the proper size and fit for your dog for this to be effective and safe. You shouldn’t ever be playing tug of war during a walk! Proper use of a prong collar allows the client to offer corrections with quick, gentle “pops” of the leash during the walk.
🐾3. E-Collar. Our Labrador mix here - Leo - has an e-collar on. These useful and reliable tools can allow a dog owner to have their dog off leash, but still maintain the ability to control the dog. We recommend E-Collar technologies as they have a vibration, tone and stimulation feature. They do not deliver an electric shock! E-collars allow both owner and dog to experience freedom and it’s a great way to strengthen trust between both.
🐾4. A Leash! It is so easy to forget a leash is the most basic and yet essential training tool we have. In the back we have Rue, a 5 month old puppy who is in the process of learning the basics. She is young enough we recommend using only a leash or slip lead to teach walking manners. In this case we had a leash, which allows us to correct and guide her gently. Leashes are a great tool for all dogs when they are in the early

I get asked often, “Will my dog be as calm as Spooky?” Now, Spooky’s personality is a very calm personality, and not all dogs have the same personality! Watch this video to learn about dog personalities and how to manage expectations when training!

Testimonial || Meet Ozzy !
Before training at Bakers Acres, Ozzy was a typical wild, fun-loving puppy. He was mischievous, didn’t listen, very whinny, leash pulling, etc.
After training at Bakers Acres, Ozzy transformed into his best self! Making daily walks & hiking more enjoyable for everyone with his new knowledge & tools he acquired at training!
WE LOVE YOU OZZY 💜🐶
