🐾 Did you know that making your dog work for their food increases the value of it? 🐕 When it's time for them to eat, ask some simple commands before allowing them to indulge!🦴 🩵
🌟 Designating a spot for your dog when you're walking out the door WILL help in preventing/ correcting door darting, and keeps structure in place when you have guests plus much more!🐕
🐾This is one of the many tools used to correct Lucy's darting out the door.💜
🐾 Lucy also struggled with door darting and not coming back when mom called her. 🥴
🦴 By setting boundaries and implementing impulse control and other training exercises, Lucy and mom can hang outside without worry🩵
🚨 Not all dogs are treat driven, so finding what works is key!! 🥰
🩷 Lucy girls crate journey. 🐕 Over 5-6 weeks, she went from being very nervous to confident going in and out of the crate.🐾
She doesn't like the word "crate", the crate pan or the noise of the crate, so we accommodated her by removing the pan adding a blanket and well... calling it Jail😆
🐩 Snowball & Carmelo, brothers from the same litter, are showing progress while out together. 🩵
🐾 Before training began, these two were constantly fighting. 🐕 As you will see, Carmelo continuously tries to mount Snowball; this is an attempt to show dominance and is corrected every time!
✅️Yes, the child was educated on why we don't try to separate them the way he did. 🙃
🌟 Teddy boy has completed his obedience training! 🐕🩵
😞 Sadly, he had a negative experience recently and is no longer comfortable with his crate. The video below shows before and after.
🦴 Last night, he went in just fine but this can be a slow and somewhat stressful process for Teddy. 🐾 Mom and dad are NOT to blame for his dislike of the crate.
🗣 Please use this as a reminder to know who you're trusting with your pup. ⚠️ Not every dog professional cares about your dog, rather, having a quick turn around.
☎️ If you're dog is struggling with the crate, please contact PPDS today to schedule your initial consultation.
