Its been amazing to see Wiggles and Bella's relationship blossom during these past few months. Not only were they my first clients that trusted me with their dog, a complete stranger, i also got two best friends out of it. Im grateful everyday that someone took a leap of faith on me 🫶🏻
Let's discuss free shaping!
Free shaping involves your dog or puppy performing a desirable action without you explicitly asking for it. For example, I'm rewarding Otis every time he makes eye contact without any prompt.
Is your puppy calmly lying down by your feet?
That's something you want to encourage, so reward with a high-value treat.
Is your puppy settling in their crate or playpen independently? Reward that behavior too.
Is your dog walking on a loose leash without corrections? Keep rewarding for that desired behavior.
Soon, they'll learn that doing what YOU want leads to tasty treats or their favorite toy.
Dog training is unregulated in the US meaning anyone can claim to be a dog trainer. If you’re looking into a service dog program here’s 5 red flags to look out for 1. No training evidenceThe program doesn’t post or has very little videos and evidence of training. This should be viewable publicly by any program showcasing their training.2. Doesn’t provide qualifications Since anyone can be a dog trainer, it’s crucial to find one that is qualified and educated with service dog training.Not every trainer can be a service dog trainer. 3. No binding contractsA contract protects the program and the client from any distress or legal issues that may pop up. A program that doesn’t have contracts generally don’t care about the environment the dog is going to. 4. No references A good quality trainer will have a plethora of references from previous or current clients. If a program only has friends or family as references it’s likely they don’t have a lot of experience with training new dogs 5. In a rush to place a dogYes some programs can only take one dog at a time (like us!) however, there shouldn’t be a rush to place the dog with just anyone. The program should ask for a lot of info including the tasks you need, your living situation & if you have a previous history of animal neglect. If a program is pushy or eager to place a dog, it’s likely the dog doesn’t have solid training.What red flags do you look for in a service dog program? -🏷️ #dogtrainer #dogtraining #servicedog #servicedogprogram
