A fetching bulldog? Who would have thought! If your dog loves toys, utilize them in your training!! Make them work for their toys! A game of fetch or a game of tug can be their reward instead of treats! It doesn't always HAVE to be food!

Luna working on her "bed" command. ❤️ This is the same thing as using the command "place". You can use whichever term you'd like, whatever you choose, you want the "place" or the "bed" to be the best place to be! Treats keep coming on the bed and stop coming when you get off. So, who would want to leave? 🤷♀️
I was able to do things like walk around the kitchen, open the fridge, pull out a chair at the dining room table, take a seat, walk outside onto the porch, come back in. All while encouraging her to stay in the bed and heavily rewarding her in the bed for doing so. ❤️
By the time I left, she stayed on the bed while I walked across the house, right on out the front door without budging. 👏

Did your dog "flip a switch" when you moved to a new home? This is typical when you take a dog from all the familiar things they once knew and you move them somewhere new! New sounds, new smells, new people, new dogs. It's all new! Big change can be scary for some dogs, but you can absolutely help them through it! Ask me how ❤️

Larry and I practicing the "wait" command. This is a fun one! This is one you can work on making more concrete by practicing things like: looking away, turning your back, walking away, or going into another room. The temptation is real. 🤤 The self-control is realer. 😇

If you want your dog to heel on walks with you, no matter where you go, you have to GO. To the parks, to the pet stores, to the dog-friendly events. A huge part of training is desensitization and socialization!
Tip: Don't allow your dog to walk up and say hello to people! Train them to ignore people on walks and to sit for pets. You can allow people to approach THEM to say hello 👋 but only when they are calm and seated. No jumping, no pulling, no craziness. ❤️ You'll thank me later.

Summer showing off her heel on walks and her obedience training outdoors 💓 #positivereinforcementonly
Practicing our tricks outside today! Loving this weather!
Park days are the best days!
A great place to train your dog? At a park. Outside of the dog park! Lots of temptation!
BUT! You can't skip steps. You have to work with your dog inside your own home to nail down the basics and gain their trust and respect. Don't just head to the park and expect your pup to be obedient amongst so. many. distractions.
The park is still a fantastic place for desensitization purposes. Bring a lawn chair, take a seat, bring yummy treats and let your pup relax and enjoy yummy food while they watch people, kids, dogs, bikes, etc go by! Without interacting. Just watching. 👀❤️
