🌟🐾 Meet Riley, our Dog of the Month, sponsored by Farmer's Dog! 🐾🌟
Riley, a charming Mexican rescue, came to train with us 18 months ago as he was dog reactive and not able to pass a dog without erupting in barking and pulling while living in an apartment. Since then Riley has worked in multiple groups, 1:1, and advanced skills to reshape his reactions and give him positive tools to rely on.
About 6 months into training together, we were still seeing bad reactive bursts coupled with tummy issues and runny p**p. I have found when dogs have digestive issues (pain and discomfort) their training capacity lowers, because they’re already agitated. We would pass 3 dogs and be done. This meant we were playing more defensive.
Around this time, Riley stopped eating and got pickier with different kibbles. When frequent vet visits or p**p concerns come up, I take the time to talk about kibble to fresh food options to help Riley win his reactive journey.
Since switching to Farmer's Dog a year ago, mealtime has transformed! Now, Riley eagerly eats every meal, his p**ps are solid and small, and even the cat Willow wants a taste! 🐶🧡🐱
"Switching to Farmer's Dog changed everything for Riley. His routine includes very solid p**ps!"

It's my favorite fruity season!! Curious about your pup's reaction to a new fruit? Save this for later!
Moderation is Key!
Immune system, digests, hydration and skin, bone and teeth health all mentioned.
Watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberries, blackberries, mangos, honeydew, raspberry peaches and notable veggies are in season.
Before the picnic quickly turns into a Bark-B-Q, grab the right rewards for your pup!
The carousel includes The Reward Ladder with a dog looking up at the ladder. Reinforcers also known as rewards are not just food, though food is by far the easiest to use if that's what your dog likes. Reinforcers food examples include pictures of chicken, smoked fish, dog treats, hot dogs, cubed cheese, meatballs, and cubed chickens. Reinforcers non-food examples include pictures of kong, rubber ball, tennis ball, rope toy, and frisbee. The last reinforcers include activities like swimming, playing in snow, or hide and seek.
Love this enrichment option!!
Fireworks are coming... If you haven't already contacted your vet, here's a holistic WA-based CBD option! Adding CBD to your dog's routine helps support your pet's ability to maintain homeostasis. The 4th of July Timeline is for the immediate week surrounding the holiday, but you can introduce CBD today to increase the soothing effect.
I love using the Wiggles treats or oil form (depending on size of dog).
This was the breakthrough we were hoping for. 🥳
This Frenchton sat patiently and got tons of praise from this gal who approached us as we exited the Market. This gal whipped out her phone to show me... her very own blue Frenchie!! I didn't have to step on his leash at all.
Thank you to dog lovers for making practicing this easy 😁
The family had come to me because of reactivity on the leash toward other people and dogs. They were frustrated with trying to walk in their neighborhood.
From constantly at the end of the leash + barking his head off to this loose leash and sitting around distractions (or when I stop)! 🤌🏼
The second picture is something this Frenchton did naturally "watch my 6" and I love it as a reminder some dogs will be naturally more protective. (It's the Boston Terrier in him.) If the gal had come up behind us, I wouldn't have engaged with the person.
This milestone comes with practice, patience and work.
Let me teach you how.
Virtually. Step by Step.
DM me if you're ready. I have two more slots this month.
30 days today!
Thank you Tracey at Gig Harbor Canine Cottage for the reminder
We're happy to be working with Charlie and his foster family in accelerating his placement in his furever home!! He's eager to find his human and trust them, but life has been a bit hard for him before coming to WA.

Today!

Yesterday was National Pet Disaster Preparedness Day. One of the necessary safety tips is to Microchip Your Dog! Be able to locate them if they were to get lost! This is another layer beyond ID tags.
If you're hindered by vet pricing, check out PetPalooza's event and find NorthWest Wag Rescue table!
🐾Join us on May 18th at Auburn's PetPalooza at Game Farm Park. NWW will be hosting a FREE microchip clinic for pets, so bring your furry friends by.
🐾Microchipping is an essential tool to help reunite you with your lost pet shall you ever get separated. They are no bigger than a grain of rice and they are placed under your pet’s skin with a needle and syringe, not much differently than a routine vaccine. Unlike collars and ID tags, they can never break or fall-off. They work by receiving a radio signal from a scanner and transmitting the encoded chip identification number back to the scanner. With the chip identification number in hand, the vital contact information is only a phone call away.
🐾Petpalooza is a FREE event for pet lovers and a special day for your four-legged family member or other furry friend. Petpalooza is kicked off with a Dog Trot 3K/5K Fun Run. The event features an animal-related entertainment stage, flydog and agility demos, the 'Unleashed' Pet Contest, a free agility area, a large variety of vendor booths, adoptions, free and low-cost pet services, give-a-ways and lots of activities to keep both humans and pets entertained.

We are not the same. ✋ Q: If you need to use the shock setting (most extreme), have you tried the other settings first? (Sound, vibrate than shock levels) A: “Yeah but they don’t listen. I scream and they don’t respond, shock.” Q: “How long are you giving them to respond? A minute, or a pause of breathe?” A: “…ummm” Here at All Ears Petcare we do NOT encourage shock collars. We get your dog is stubborn, or your communication styles don’t match up. This is an extreme for a reason, please don’t grab this off the shelf before consulting with a trainer. Preferably a positive reinforcement training style as science shows dogs are more prone to react the way you want, without force. 💭 Think of it this way… Every time you do something wrong with your spouse, or friends, do you want to shocked? ⚡️ Within seconds? Before your brain has time to process your actions? #humanityfirst #dogtraining #positivereinforcement #mindsetmatters #mobiledogtraining #allearspetcare Every situation is different and backgrounds on training of the dog and family are discussed privately and resources given to modify tools used.

When you take your dog to the bar as a plus one ✋Before you go: work on barking or dog tolerance + leash problems. Go at slow times the first time. Build your dog's confidence in this setting. 👣Walk in, find a good table, and put your foot on your lead. Give your dog enough leash to sit and lay down. Your dog should not be able to walk around or pace or fidget. Let them learn to be calm and stationary. 🦴Bring their dinner, feed them a little at a time when they're relaxed, calm and happy. 🚧Give your dog boundaries. Being a cool cucumber means other people don't interact with her while she's learning how to behave. 🛑 Know your dog limits. If a patio is too much, back off and go back to the basics. Don't try to force your dog into a situation where he or she isn't ready. Maizy, this charcoal lab, has completed basic obedience with All Ears Petcare and extra training in different settings before graduating to this challenge. Beforehand we agreed we would try one drink and see how she does. We were able grab dinner too and Maizy settled down after the first hour. Reach out if you want to get your dog well-behaved enough to go everywhere! January Saturday classes opening up. Pawsitively, Bri

Dog moms you don’t need shock collars to make your big dog listen. We’re throwing out the dominance control method. Eye contact strengthens your bond. Less about submission, more about respect. Big classes full of reactive dogs and one trainer are out. Quality matters. 🦮 I’m here for my first time dog moms and dog dads to share how to teach your T-Rex of a puppy to become a well mannered family dog 🐾 Follow @allearspetcare for more 🧡
First time through an agility course 👏 wait until the end! 😂 Not all play areas are made for short legs!! This exercise is great for reactive dogs because we’re knocking down new situations and obstacles together in a neutral setting. Jack is well behaved, happy, eager to serve dog but when on leash around other dogs he loses ability to listen. He goes into protective Jack mode. We use both off leash and on leash settings to modify his behavior and build his confidence. Less fear, more fun. #positivereinforcement #dogtraining
This pup had become reactive and territorial of his family. His family was proactive and brought me up to help! We spent a weekend focus on confidence-building and restructuring habits. Here is one of our first training walks where we can hear Mordecai's whining and not listening when his younger sibling (human brother) gets too far ahead. He's also reactive to other dogs but overall a sweet happy boy. Mordecai's human brother is the best distraction to break Mordecai's instinctive habits to break from his handler (owner). He needs to see playing, running ahead and screaming. We played red light green light while Mordecai focused on listening to his owner. Once Mordecai jumped up past the handler's waist, that's our trigger to get him in "middle" (between our legs) where we used our knees to "talk" with the pup. When a dog is in higher anxiety and won't look at you (owner, handler holding the leash), getting through their tunnel vision may mean more hands-on. This does not hurt your dog. This is a matter of quickly snapping the dog out of their fixation. Using positive reinforcement on top of this calms the dog down. The way the handler feels when walking translates down the leash, so if you're feeling anxious, the dogs will scan the area to determine how they can protect you. Take a breathe, sing "I'm a little tea pot" to regulate breathing and encourage calm. This is one of the various methods we used to help Arielle feel more confident with Mordecai outside. Next, we'll go over the confidence-building exercises we started. Disclaimer: A weekend won't solve the reactive problems. The real works start in the daily walks and foundation building they have been doing great! Keep up the good work!!
