HOW LONG DO I NEED TO TRAIN WITH MY DOG?!?

if you’re lucky you GET to train with your dog many years. A lot of people few obedience like a punch card. Once they’ve done it enough times BOOM! It’s done and they get the gift of a trainer dog. In reality you should train with your dog intentionally every day.

A lot of dogs wander the house, flip puzzle toys, run the fence in the yard and people wonder, why don’t they listen to me? It’s because we aren’t working their brains, we throw iPads at them and tell them to entertain themselves until we want to pet them.

If you dedicate 3x 10 minute sessions a day to intentionally improving a skill you will guaranteed see a more responsive and less stubborn dog. Training is crucial for your relationship with your dog, and your dogs well being. This isn’t about giving commands it’s about teaching their body to move, helping connecting their brain to action, strengthening the relationship with FUN rather than compliance

WHATS THE EASIEST BREED TO TRAIN?

It all comes down to the owner. Is the owner receptive to trying new things? Is the owner able to adjust when needed? Is the owner ok with learning things that may contradict what they believe to be true?…. Border collie

LABELS!!!!

Once we label our dogs we tend to treat them differently. “Stubborn” “Alpha” “Dominant”. Almost every dog we’ve met that wore these labels seem to do amazing during our initial lessons. Owners constantly call us the dog whisperers. Which is a nice compliment!

Owners often end up in this dilemma of making it “me vs them”. Your dog wasn’t born with a built in dictionary to clarify sit, heel, down, paw or etc. They don’t jump on friends and family to dominate. They don’t p*e in the house “knowing” they should do it outside.

Your dogs behavior is usually developed through a much simpler process.”what happens when I do this?”. This is a very powerful theme of cause and effect. If we make it hard to do things we don’t like, and make it easy to do things we do like all of a sudden those stubborn, alpha dominant dogs become “eager to please” and “they want to learn”.

Let’s begin leading our dogs journey by labeling them as what they truly are “Students” and you are the teacher. The coach. You have all the knowledge and experience that your dog does not yet have. They can only behave as well as you communicate.

“LIGHT SWITCH”

When raising a dog you need a good on/off switch. If you can’t send your dog away , it’ll be difficult to pull them in. If you can’t get your dog excited to play, it’ll be difficult to help them calm down.

Working with your family/friends is like a dog training cheat code. Take advantage of it and learn how to connect with your pets! .logicaldog
