Rachel Laurie Harris - A Good Feeling Dog Training

Rachel Laurie Harris - A Good Feeling Dog Training At A Good Feeling Dog Training we believe in creating a joyful bond between you and your dog through personalized, positive reinforcement dog training!

We all have expectations of what a dog should do. But we forget that our dogs do not come pre-programed. We must teach our dogs to be and do what we desire. Let me help you teach so that you and your dog can share a happy long life together!

If your dog is prone to charging your fence when people or dogs walk by and barking excessively, it’s likely that they need distance to behave in a more desirable way.

Our house backs up to a park where there are loads of people and dogs walking by each day. Knowing my dogs, their breed, their individual tendencies I knew they needed more space to behave in the way I want. To watch and only bark occasionally.

As an added bonus the fence also protects the garden from zooming dogs!

If your dog can be leash reactive, you just don’t get to go for a causal stroll.
Every walk is a training walk
You need to be aware and prepared
It’s up to you to help support your dog

If you need help with your dogs leash reactivity, let me know in the comments and I DM you the link to our free mini course!

Welcome to the wonderful world of cooperative care!

I suggest training your dog to do their front nails first and then graduating to the back nails! Under the “care” highlight there are links for training videos for both and front and back nails!

Over my 14 year training career I’ve worked with thousands of complicated dogs and their guardians. If I could give you one thing that you could work on right this moment is to accept who your dog is for better or worse. Do I love all of the behaviors that my dogs display no. Do I love when they embarrass me in public no. Do I love them for who they are, yes.

It never gets old.
Seeing how happy well matched dogs can be during and after a play session!
Spicy came to meet Rosie and help with training but they really hit it off so they got lots of play breaks!

Do the long leashes get in the way? Sure but at a public park with leash laws and a young dog without a reliable recall, they are worth the hassle and honestly the dogs don’t care!

The shake off is like a nice deep breath/reset combo for our dogs. It’s especially important to notice and reward for dogs who struggle with over stimulation and reactivity.

The more they can shake off the better emotional regulation you will see!

Tug is such a great game to play with your dogs but I teach it with rules so that I can play with them while are reinforcing healthy behavior patterns.

1. Cue your dog to sit or lay down
2. Present the toy and use a release word
3. Play and have a good time with your dog
4. Prompt them to drop the toy with a verbal cue and treat
5. Repeat steps 1-4

I saw a thread lately where a girl was just complaining about how bad her dog did and the vet and how much it embarrassed her. While I have some empathy I also think we as guardians need to take responsibility for the things our dogs struggle with and work to help them cope better.

I know so many veterinary professionals that are burnt out because owners just expect them to get things done even when the dog is really struggling.

Put the time and effort into helping your dog cope, it will make everyone’s life so much easier.
