💥 Blue is having a blast training in the park 💥
Training your dogs doesn’t mean they have to be doing something ALL the time. It just means you have a reliable dog who is able to have more freedom to enjoy life with you

👷♂️ Same place different dog 👷♀️
Home Depot is a pet friendly store, which makes it the perfect place to take your pup for training. There are always a lot of different distractions for you and your pup to practice around like: other dogs and people, carts, loud sounds, and Halloween decorations 🧟♀️
Look at Bella holding her down as strangers and carts go by!!

Throwback to Winston’s last week with us. We always take the dogs to Howarth’s park to practice with them around geese, kids, other dogs, and lots of people.
Look at how well he does with everything going on 😃

🎾 Sometimes play between dogs can sound and look intense like how Bob and Arlo are playing here. However, just because they are being super vocal doesn’t mean they aren’t having fun 🎾
Here are some signs from the AKC website to watch out for
Behaviors that say it’s all good fun:
✅The play bow – front end down, back end in the air. Sometimes the dog trying to initiate play will slap his front legs down on the ground repeatedly.
✅A big, silly open-mouthed grin.
✅Exaggerated, bouncy movement. The dogs are acting silly.
✅Loud, continuous growling and snarling; again, exaggerated. Play-growling may sound scarier than serious fighting.
✅The dogs voluntarily make themselves vulnerable by “falling” down and exposing their bellies and allowing themselves to be caught when playing chase. They take turns chasing each other.
✅They keep going back for more. Even the dog that ends up on his back doesn’t want to stop playing. They will probably take turns with most play-fighting behaviors.
Behaviors that tell you this is not a game:
❌ The dogs’ bodies get very stiff. Hackles (the hair on a dog’s upper back) are raised. You may not be able to see this if the dog has long hair.
❌Closed mouth, curled lip, low warning growl.
❌Movements will be quick and efficient – no bouncing around, no taking turns.
❌Ears will be pinned flat and lips curled back and snarling. No big silly smiles.
❌If the dogs get into actual combat, hopefully it will be a short encounter, and the “loser” will try to leave the area. There won’t be going back for more play.
❌The dog is trying to get away from the other one, and her body language is not happy and bouncy. Tail is tucked. She isn’t having fun.

🎓 Our puppy week is a week long board and train for all puppies ages 6 months to a year, which focuses on the foundational learning. In that time they learn to walk loosely on leash, how to sit, and how to kennel 📚
Here is Sophie at the end of her week showing off her skills

Arlo is SUPER enthusiastic about places 😂 He’ll do them anywhere and on anything. Such a fun pup to train!!
You can do these inside as a great way to get energy out on these really hot days!!

Dog parks are a great tool when it comes to training. They provide good distraction so you can advance your pups obedience and work on their neutrality in stimulating environments.
Dog parks do not have regulations, so ANY dogs can enter. Dogs who might be reactive, aggressive, aren’t vaccinated, or don’t play well with other dogs; so fights are more likely to happen.
However, dog parks are good for socializing young dogs, so long as you can read their body language and know when to step in if things start to escalate. They are also a great way to let your pup get out some extra energy on a day you don’t want to go for a walk or train.

Recall is one of the most 👏 important 👏 commands 👏 you can teach your dog
Dog Trainers use this term ALOT, so what is it and why is it so important?
Recall is simply just calling your dog back to you, just like Arlo above. Having a strong recall in emergency situations like:
⚫️ calling your dog out of the street
⚪️ getting your dog away from a wild animal
⚫️ getting your dog away from a person or another dog
⚪️ making sure they don’t get too far ahead or lost
Could be the difference between getting hit by a car or attacked by another dog. However, it is also a great way to build a stronger bond with your dog, and a fun way to tire them out!

🧘♀️Passive Training is just as important as Active Training 💪
Just like us, dogs get nervous when they go somewhere new. This can show up as over excitement, fear, or even aggression. Training your dog in new environments with:
🚨Loud sounds🚒
👭Lots of people🚴♂️
🐕Other animals 🦜
will help you and your dog out when you find them unexpectedly. Just like Tupac here! Being calm in a down while two heavy loud carts go by.

Introducing “Place” to Benny ☺️ He did have one 5 minute session previously to this, but it’s his first day learning it. Benny is super smart and picked it up quickly! 🎓
All four 🐾 on is a good followed by a reward
One 🐾 off is a no and a gentle pressure back towards the place
This is a GREAT exercise to cement the behavior markers: “good”, “no”, and “break”
