Rusty loves to go for a ride in the car but getting out and going inside is not his favorite thing to do. We went to get a tire repaired today and Rusty was my sidekick. He did everything I asked (well it WAS a sloppy heel)…but overall our trip was successful and he did something that was hard for him. Don’t worry, I told him what a GOOD boy he was!

Teaching heel is important for so many reasons. Reasons we will discuss over the next several days!

Control:

When your dog heels, you have better control over their movements, which is particularly useful in busy or crowded areas.

It allows you to navigate through crowds, narrow paths, or busy streets without the risk of your dog pulling or dragging you.

The Sit Solution: Instilling Impulse Control in Dogs, One Command at a Time

We've spent the last week going over why the "sit" command is an important part of obedience for your dog. Here's some additional information on how the "sit" command creates a firm foundation in your dog's obedience. Just don't stop there!

Basic obedience: Teaching a dog to sit is one of the fundamental commands in obedience training. It establishes a foundation for further training and helps your dog understand how to respond to your cues.

Communication: The "sit" command becomes a form of communication between you and your dog. It allows you to give your dog clear instructions and signals, enhancing your ability to direct their behavior.

Safety: Having your dog sit on command can be crucial for their safety in various situations. For example, if your dog tends to jump on people or approach strangers in a boisterous manner, teaching them to sit can help you regain control and prevent accidents or confrontations.

Impulse control: Teaching your dog to sit requires them to exercise self-control. This command helps your dog learn to resist impulses and wait patiently for further instructions, which can be valuable in many situations, such as waiting before crossing a road or receiving a treat.

Greeting manners: The "sit" command is particularly useful for teaching your dog polite greeting behaviors. It discourages jumping on people when they enter your home or when you encounter others during walks, making the interactions more pleasant for everyone involved.

Focus and calmness: The act of sitting often promotes focus and calmness in dogs. By teaching your dog to sit on command, you encourage them to pay attention to you and remain composed, even in potentially distracting or exciting situations.

Building a bond: Training sessions involving the "sit" command offer an opportunity for you and your dog to bond and strengthen your relationship. Regular training promotes trust, mutual understanding, and cooperation, deepening the connection between you and your dog.

Remember, consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience are key when teaching your dog any command, including "sit."

From Jumping Jack to Polite Pup

Polite greetings:

Dogs that sit calmly when greeting people are generally more welcomed and accepted in social settings.

By teaching your dog to sit when meeting new people, you can prevent jumping up, which can be intimidating or uncomfortable for some individuals.

22/07/2023

From Chaos to Calm

Impulse control:

The "sit" command teaches your dog to exhibit self-control. It helps them learn to resist impulses like jumping, lunging, or rushing out the door.

This skill is crucial for their safety and the well-being of those around them.

21/07/2023

Sit, Focus, and Succeed

Focus and attention: Teaching a dog to sit on command helps develop their focus and attention skills. It encourages them to listen to and respond to your instructions, leading to better communication and overall obedience.

20/07/2023

Situation Sit Down

Safety: A dog that knows the "sit" command is more likely to stay in one place, reducing the risk of running into traffic, approaching dangerous objects, or getting into other potentially harmful situations.

Group Class!

It's a time to practice those important three "D's"

Distraction - Duration - Distance

We get in some practice on all three at group class, so talk to your trainer and check your emails for your invitation.

It's a great time to ask those questions that you forgot to ask or work on problem behaviors.

We do ask that you give every dog a little space. Some dogs are working on reactivity and giving them space keeps everyone safe so that we can have a happy, healthy group class to practice those skills we learned at home!

"Cracking the Code: Communication Secrets for Dog Owners"

We just finished up a series of tips that help get dogs to listen to their owners. Communicating with your dog and having your dog listen to you

One thing we wanted to be sure that you don't miss is that teaching your dog to listen to you will help you and your dog overcome a lot of issues including insecurity, fear, reactivity, and more.

Dogs can be a joy to live with, but you're doing both you and your dog a disservice if you haven't trained your dog to listen to you. When your dog trusts you, he will do anything you ask of him, or he will at the very least give it the best effort possible.

Hank, in the video here, has been asked to stand on a quart paint can. He can stand on gallon paint cans all day long, but he couldn't quite do the quart. But he TRIED.

Watch the video...he tried his best. Steve asked him to do it so he was going to put in the effort. And next time we try, he might just make it!

He got two feet on it and a toe on the third foot, but just couldn't quite get those back feet up there. It was the effort and willingness that his Dad was looking for, not perfection.

That dog will TRY anything asked of him, because of that amazing bond they have and the work they've done together.

Hank KNOWS that Steve won't ask him to do anything that would harm him. He TRUSTS Steve. And that's the kind of bond you can have, too, if you work with your dog.

Don't sell your dog short. Your dog can do a lot more than you give him credit for, even if the quart paint can isn't a go...something else will be a go...the fire hydrant, the small stool, the cannon, the cannonballs, the ledge, the unstable bosu ball.

Let your dog learn to trust you and believe in your dog....they are amazing creatures!

Call us and let us help you and your dog accomplish more than you would have believed possible.
