Off the Chain Dog Training

Hi ! So it's been a min since our last post. Apologies for that. But here we go...

There have been some questions about chewing habits. 🦷👅🐾

My go-to long-lasting chew is a large beef bone. Knuckles, femurs, shins.... all good! As long as it's beef. They don't splinter as some types of bones do. 🦴 And they come in all sizes.

You can find them online or at most places that sell pet foods and treats. To decide which size is right for your dog; find the size you think is "just right" for your dog and go up a size 😉 .
Except y'all with dogs that weigh more than 90lbs ; you guys should just start with the largest one you can find! 😅 A large femur, shin, and/or a knuckle bone will be your best bet.

Having a long-lasting chew will calm your dog and also give them something to do so they don't get bored and chew your couch! 🛋 Also, having as many different textures as well as levels of firmness in toys and chews is a great way for them to explore without destroying furniture.

Do you know building confidence with your dog doesn't have to be boring or feel like work?!

Skills that aren't necessarily important like: "paws up"🐾; "shake"🤝; "high five"🖐; "touch here" 🫵; "hide" 🫣; "dance" 🎶🎵

These are all great confidence and relationship building exercises. They aren't meant to be perfect. It takes small steps to get to the end command. Getting there together is magic for you and you doggo! 🧝‍♂️🐶🧙‍♂️

🙃Dog Training Myth: "When meeting a new dog you should express your dominance by staring the dog into submission."

Um, no.🤨😒 Don't do that! You may end up getting bitten because the dog sees it as a challenge.

Instead of facing the dog directly, try turning your body to the side and squint your eyes some and avoid looking her in the eyes🙄. Instead you can look at his feet, tail, ears, chest, etc. When you squint and turn to the side, you're speaking the language of dogs🐾😶 and you're expressing yourself as non-threatening.👍🏼 😃
