The real life uses for dog training
I was out playing with my dogs when I saw my neighbors dog running down the street. She had slipped out the door and wouldn’t return when called. I put my dogs into a down, grabbed a slip lead was able to grab her and walk her back home- my dogs were right where I left them in the yard when I returned. #poweroftraining #dogtraining #dogtrainingforreallifesituations #realworlddogtraining #loosedog #lovedogs #dogs
Nail trim training
Bernie does not like having her feet touched. She has been increasingly difficult when her family brings her to get her nails done. I begin with working to get her comfortable with her feet being touched and teaching her that pulling her feet away is not an option. Once she stops trying to pull away I let go and reward. Quickly changing to only getting rewards when she allows touching of her feet without pulling away at all. #dognailtrims #dogtraining #gsdlove
The first step in helping Ginger with her nervousness in the car is taking the stress out of the first step- getting in. Even with one owner in the car coaxing her in and the other on the outside she wouldn’t go in on her own and would begin to shake. After less then 10 minutes of work she was hopping in on her own and became very proud of herself wiggling all around. Now she can start her car rides in a better state of mind. #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining #leashpressureguidance #buildingconfidentdogs #dogs
Responding to someone on tik tok that was upset I was using leash pressure to help Mogli climb some steps in a store. They said I was shutting him down by doing so.
Tiny’s parents have struggled with his reactivity since they adopted him. He would chase just about anything that moved- lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners, bikes, runners and his biggest issue was other dogs. Lunging, barking, growling, and whinning. They started training soon after adopting him. They started out with positive only force free training, and force free reactive dog classes. When they realized this training wasn’t working for Tiny they opened their minds to another kind of training. One where there were consequences for his actions- both rewards and punishment. Along with more structure in his day to day life, teaching his owners how to be confident leaders and how to clearly communicate, all contributed to helping Tiny. When his owners teared up at his go home lesson as they both walked passed multiple dogs with Tiny, that alone made all the hard work worth it. I’m so happy they went out of their comfort zone to figure out what worked best for their dog and them. I’m impressed with how dedicated they are and all the work they have done with their boy. #reactiviedogs #pitties #dogtraining #ecollar #prongcollar #lovedogs #dogtrainers #pitbull #rescuedogsrock
Working on heel and recall on a walk with board and train Mowgli. Mowgli is here to learn basic obedience, and gain confidence so he can travel with his owner and provide emotional support. #doodles #doodletraining #doglovers #dogtraining #smalldogsneedtrainingtoo #smalldog
Frankie’s mom has already put an excellent training foundation on him. The area she has been struggling with is when he gets into a highly aroused state, being able to control him and bring him out of it quickly. We switched out the harness for a prong collar and made some tweaks to how she was using her ecollar. As well as holding him more accountable to things he knows throughout the day, correcting him in a way he takes seriously for dangerous behaviors,then counterconditioning him around the things that get him aroused, we have also increased play between the two of them with tug and fetch to give him that outlet he needs to chase and bite- appropriate things at appropriate times. #bullybreed #dogtraining #dogstagram
Emmett
Crazy about 2 weeks ago he could barely stand now he’s tackling the stairs! Emmett is available for adoption through Cnyspca. #dogneglect #animalcruelty #dogtraining #fosterdog
Ranger is an anxious boy who will communicate his frustration with his mouth. This cannot be tolerated especially in a 90lb GSD. In this clip he simply wasn’t in the mood to jump on the rock and his way to communicate that to me was through a nip - I communicated back with a few leash pops, spatial pressure and continued with the exercise so he learned using his mouth on people will not get him his way. #dogtraining #gsd #dogs #prongcollar
