This is Zelda, named after the video game. Two weeks ago we had Turok another French bulldog in training also named after the video game. Please keep this going lol I love it and it’s nostalgic for me. If you have another good name from a video game, post it below!

When is a dog jumping vs affectionately “hugging” bad and when is it good or even useful? I can use the excited engagement to build their desire for the command routines and shape the jumping out as training continues.

From a chemical perspective- dopamine levels are highest during the anticipation of an unexpected reward. Teaching your dog positional commands is 30% of training, conditioning them to CRAVE the game and the excitement of the routine is 70% and how you create permanence with the behavior.

Everything you can make into play and a game will draw more focus and attention to the activity. Jumping isnt something i want to continue but at the beginning of training her engagement is more useful when she is excited and jumping all over me will naturally feel playful to her and physical engagement adds to that. In this session as I teach “place” and I condition impulse control in this “game” for Ruby to hold a relaxed posture when in command and on the break- cut loose and go wild! It’s not about stopping the jumping behavior yet, I am channeling it so Ruby knows when to add the energy with me and when to be calm and focused to earn that next moment.

Owners always feel rushed to correct unwanted behaviors very early when they can actually leverage this into teaching the dog so much more. Message us if you want to learn more about how we can help you and your dog!

Cooper came with an assortment of issues, it can all be traced back to a dysfunctional management of his own drive and energy. Don’t be fooled, doodle breeds are a mix of high drive dogs and they need training and management to have a calm, relaxed, and focused personality. Thank you for your trust in the Dog Dudes and congratulations on the new life with your dog!

We had a few graduates and we will miss this group! They all played so well together. During the turnover we teach you how to maintain and manage the training at home. Training is dependent on you keeping up with the foundation we set! After all, dogs are not robots and teaching the whole family is essential to be successful at home!
