Let's slow down and teach our pups how to count before expecting them to know calculus!When training, we tend to move too quickly for our dogs and have too high of expectations. Here we have Henry and his guardian working on 'stay'. All training should include rewarding small successes and then slowly increasing the difficulty.
Howl-O-Ween Fundraiser at Turner Park is going on now! Help raise funds for American Humane on this beautiful fall day.
Just 15 minutes of mental exercise or enrichment can be equivalent to 30 minutes of physical exercise!
Mental Enrichment is also helpful in...
🐕 Helping your dog be more independent,
🐩 Releasing endorphins to naturally calm,
🦮 Slowing down meal time,
🐕🦺 Confidence building,
🐶 and so much more!
Sometimes training is just about having fun and building a stronger relationship with your dog and keeping them mentally engaged! 🎳
Do you have a reactive dog? I can help!!
Remi can be reactive to dogs on walks. Here he is rolling around just feet from another dog. I'd say he is feeling pretty comfortable and relaxed! We slowly got closer with lots of praise and treats and he did amazing!!
A dog that tries to dash through the door when you open it can be very scary and dangerous! Teaching a controlled response as people go towards the door is so important. Here is a video of Evie learning to wait at the stop of the stairs while her guardian goes to the door. After just one training session, she was able to stay in place as the door was opened. Evie's mom followed up a few days later and was excited to to share Evie was successful staying at the top of the stairs as a visitor entered the home. Way to go!!

Round of 👏 for Arlo and his guardians! He struggled with seeing dogs on walks, even if they were a distance away. During our session he was able to watch nearby dogs and still check in with his people and take treats!! This is great progress in just 2 weeks!

Meet Bane! His guardians reached out because he would become very anxious when it was time to go outside. He would bark and dash out the doors which could possibly end in injuries to him or his people. After one session we were able to reduce his anxiety going through doorways and he would even wait for a release cue before exiting!
Today I had my first Puppy 101 session with 6 month old Ivy! We went over a lot of great information on training basics.
She wasn't really sure about my treats at first! 🤣
