Is your dog jumping on people when you greet them at the door? The best thing that you can do correct this behavior is teach them the place command. Once they have this obedience command down. This allows you to tell them to go to their place which would be their training mat, bed, or place you have designated for them when you give them that command. Then they have have a chance to calm down while you greet your guests and at that point if you want to allow them off their place to greet you guests in a more controlled environment you can. This is a really helpful command for them to have this time of year when we are having some many people over for the holidays.

🐶 It’s true, I really do wish people knew these things and so much more about the e-collar. Off leash freedom for your dog can exist. E-Collars often get a bad reputation because most people have perceptions about how they think they are used or have no education about the appropriate way to use them at low levels for effective communication with your dog. I am on a mission to educate as many people as I can about e-collars being a powerful tool in dog training. The truth is introducing the e-collar after your dog has learned their basic obedience allows you to start using the most effective tool that we have to communicate with our dogs on this planet, while allowing them to have the most freedom off leash. Here’s a few more things that I wish people knew: 1️⃣ Clear Communication: E-collar training enables clear communication between you and your furry friend. It's about creating a shared language that strengthens your bond.2️⃣ Consistency is Key: With the right guidance, e-collar training ensures consistency in commands and expectations, leading to quicker and more reliable responses from your dog.3️⃣ Positive Reinforcement: Contrary to misconceptions, e-collar training emphasizes positive reinforcement. It helps reinforce good behavior and offers a gentle way to redirect unwanted actions.4️⃣ Enhanced Safety: E-collar training provides a reliable way to communicate with your dog off-leash, enhancing their safety and freedom during outdoor activities.5️⃣ Tailored Training: E-collar training allows for personalized training programs, addressing specific behavioral issues your dog may have. It's a customized approach to suit your dog's unique needs.Remember, the key to successful e-collar training is responsible and informed usage. I would love to help you start out on your e-collar journey with our Our Collar Excellence Course. Comment below with the word “Start” and we will send you a DM with how you can get started to today.

Resource guarding is a behavior in which a dog becomes possessive and defensive of items it values, such as food, toys, or even a favorite spot. It's important to address resource guarding to ensure the safety of both the dog and people. Here are some tips for managing and addressing resource guarding behavior:
1️⃣ Understand the Behavior: Recognize the signs of resource guarding, which may include growling, snarling, stiff body language, or snapping when someone approaches their resource. Understanding the behavior is the first step in addressing it.
2️⃣ Positive Reinforcement: Use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage your dog to associate people approaching their resources with positive experiences. Reward them with treats, praise, or play when they allow you to approach their resources.
3️⃣ Desensitization: Gradually desensitize your dog to people approaching their resources. Start with a safe distance and, over time, decrease the distance until you can approach the resource closely without triggering guarding behavior.
4️⃣ Exchange Game: Teach your dog that giving up a resource results in something even better. Offer a high-value treat or toy in exchange for the item they are guarding. This helps them understand that giving up their resource leads to positive outcomes.
5️⃣ Obedience Training: Ensure your dog has a solid foundation in basic obedience commands, such as "sit," "stay," and "leave it." These commands can be used to manage resource guarding situations effectively.
6️⃣ Consistency: Be consistent in your approach and in enforcing rules with your dog. Everyone in your household should follow the same guidelines to prevent mixed signals.
7️⃣ Professional Help: If your dog's resource guarding is severe or dangerous, or if you are unsure how to address it effectively, consult with a professional dog trainer or behaviorist.
Remember that addressing resource guarding can take time and patience. It's essential to c

When it comes to teaching your four-legged friend new tricks or reinforcing good behavior, your words hold immense power. 🐕🙌 From 'good boy' to 'well done,' verbal rewards, and the way that we say them, help your dog understand what's right and motivate them to keep learning. 🧠 Keeping the tone of voice high & happy in tone when rewarding is very important. 🐾 It's not just about treats – it's about the reinforcement they receive and how they recieve it through your words. 🐾🗣️

Tango came with me to group training tonight. We let him have a little fun after class. He retired almost a year ago and will be 10 years old in November. He sure doesn’t hit as hard as he did in his younger years but doesn’t care, he was living his best lift tonight. #belgianmalinois #retiredk9

In the world of dog training, it's all about laying down the right groundwork. 🛠️🐕 When it comes to obedience training, slip leashes are like the ABCs of our toolkit – the essential foundation! 🅰️➡️🅱️

However, it is vital to learn how to utilize these tools appropriately for the safety of your dog.
