Good obedience doesn’t mean a sad/unhappy dog

One thing I love about the kennel/ place command is it’s a very versatile command and can be used for just about any obeject you want your dog to go into or onto from a towel on floor to some picnic tables at the park or even into the back seat of your car!

Mercedes being a super good girl while walking nicely with her brother

Mercedes owners have been putting in some extra work with her and the cat since the other day and we’ve now made it to this! This is huge for both the cat and Mercedes so much so the cat now feels comfortable enough to just chill rather than run for the stairs or under the couch

This is Mercedes a 3 year old GSD and has been giving her owners a hard time with chasing the cats so we’ve been working on her holding her place with minor distractions and leading up to the cat being brought in with minor distractions going on (the kids usually great help with distracting her but got a little camera shy 🤣) she still has a lot of work to do before this becomes consistent and solid In real life situations but she’s making great progress! It would normally be your typical dog and cat chase threw the house before the training we’ve done

Pluto has been feeling he can ignore me when he gets in play mode so we worked on that with him some today and then tested him with his tennis balls recalling him back mid fetch

When crate training is done properly and not used as punishment it becomes your dogs “safe place” and they end up just randomly going In there to hang out and nap

Lets have a little fun!
SECRET SANTA DOG TOY EXCHANGE!!!! 🐕 🎄
I did this last year and we received many toys!
As long as everyone follows thru, it works!
This is super easy and so fun!!
The worst case is I’m making a dog happy by sending them a toy - what can be better than that? No pressure to participate. All are welcome to join in on the fun!
I’m looking for dog owners interested in a holiday gift exchange. Doesn’t matter where you live in the U.S. - you are welcome to join! You have to buy one gift valued at least $10 and send it to your secret dog. (Hello Amazon and Chewy). Your dog will receive 6-36 gifts in return. And the great thing is you can keep them or donate them! A present will brighten their day (and the owners too). We could all use some happy mail!
Let me know if you are interested and I will send you information about your dog.
Just comment I’m in! Toys only please, no food or treats!

Even once your pup is trained it’s still necessary to practice the commands with them daily even just in small fun exercises like this

This was Lilly’s first off leash walk at the park. testing her “distracted recall” without being in a heavily populated area to start look at the response! She was awesome to work with so smart!
