Welcome to the Pack our newest member - Willa! She is a 5-month-old French Bulldog who began her Advanced Obedience High Distraction training this past week. Her owners reached out as they were having typical puppy issues: excitement, jumping, nipping, coming when called, pulling on leash on walks and they wanted to make sure they were being the best leaders they could be for Willa.

The French bulldog is a small, muscular dog with their trademark bat-like ears. Along with their adorable looks, Frenchies are lively, lovable, and playful companions. It's no wonder why they're the most popular dog breed in the United States. Their small size means they can do well in smaller homes and apartments—especially because they're quiet, usually only barking when someone arrives at the door. On the other hand, they don't tolerate being left alone for too long, so if you work long hours or travel frequently, this isn't the right breed for you.

French bulldogs are very affectionate, family-oriented dogs who do best when spending plenty of time with their family. They can be the perfect house pet: playful clowns who lack an enormous amount of energy, so at the end of the day, your Frenchie will be happy to cuddle with you on the couch for some quality time.

Frenchies are smart and willing to learn and teaching them consistently is a great way to strengthen your bond. This breed can sometimes be difficult to housetrain - crate training can help. Most French bulldogs can coexist happily when raised with other pets, but some are prone to chasing cats or small dogs. A Frenchie who hasn't been socialized with other animals may show aggression toward dogs of the same s*x. This breed can also become jealous in a multi-dog household.

Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Willa! We look forward to helping your owners become the calm, confident pack leaders you will need to become a calm, confident, obedient pack member in your new family pack.

Welcome to the Pack...our newest member - Luna! She is a 4-month-old Lab/Golden Retriever/Hound mix who began her Puppy Advanced Obedience dog training this past week. Her owners reached out to us as they wanted to make sure her training got started off on the right track and they were also having some typical puppy issues: nipping, biting, leash pulling, coming when called and excitement issues with the cat and guests.

The Labrador retriever is a medium to large dog breed with a short coat and sturdy physique that's a member of the sporting group. Labs are known for their intelligence and good temperament. Although they were bred to be hunting dogs, they're also excellent companions. In addition to their sporting abilities, Labs make excellent service dogs and therapy dogs. You'll also see them employed in drug and explosive detection, water rescue, and search and rescue.

The golden retriever is a medium-sized breed boasting a golden coat—reflective of its name. Known for their kind eyes, loyalty, and enthusiasm for life, the golden retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. Though historically bred as hunting dogs in the Scottish Highlands, goldens also make excellent family dogs. Golden retrievers make wonderful service dogs and are often very successful as guide, assistance, or search and rescue dogs.

When one talks about a Labrador Hound mix, they’re referring to a crossbreed between a Labrador Retriever and any type of hound dog. They’re typically friendly and loving dogs with an inherent fetch instinct from their Labrador side and a nose-driven curiosity from their hound heritage. Proper training and socialization are key as these dogs can be full of energy and require ample exercise and mental stimulation.

Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Luna! We look forward to helping your young family become the pack leaders you will need to really thrive in your new home.

Welcome to the Pack...our newest member - Bear! He is a nearly 11-month-old Aussiedoodle and brother to our former client, August (aka Auggie). He began his Basic Obedience training this past week. His owners reached out to us as they were having some trouble with pulling on leash on walks, coming when called, excitement issues when guests would come over, and general obedience issues.

The Aussiedoodle is a cross between an Australian Shepherd and a Poodle, usually a Standard or Miniature Poodle. Both of the breeds used to create Aussiedoodles are considered to be canine Einsteins, making this one super smart dog breed. Aussiedoodles have a moderate to high activity level. They need a good walk or active playtime each day, and they are athletic enough to participate in such dog sports as agility, flyball, obedience and rally. They can also be excellent therapy dogs.

The Australian Shepherd is a herding dog, and he likes people to stay together. If you see your Aussiedoodle trying to herd family members— especially children—by bumping or nipping at them, he’s not being aggressive; he’s following his instincts. That’s one instinctive behavior that shouldn’t be permitted, though. Put a stop to the behavior with a “Down,” “Leave It” or “Sit-Stay” command. An Aussiedoodle will undoubtedly be smart and highly trainable, thanks to the intelligence of both breeds and the Australian Shepherd’s strong desire to do a job.

Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Bear! We look forward to helping your owners become the calm, confident pack leaders you will need to be the calm, confident, obedient pack member they desire.

How To Handle A Dog Pulling On A Leash --

There's no need to continue to tolerate leash pulling. It's exhausting and dangerous. Your dog's position during a walk indicates their position in your pack. Walking beside or slightly behind you is foundational to establishing leadership. This blog post explains the causes and tips for improving the leash walk. If you need help getting the walk right, contact us.

Leadership with your dog is all about *guiding* them, not being the “bossy boss.” Dogs thrive when they know who’s in charge, especially if that means a calm, consistent human showing them the ropes.

Leadership is all about teaching your dog where they fit into the family “pack.” It’s as simple as being confident, setting boundaries, and creating routines that make sense to them. Whether it’s leading on a walk or teaching them to wait at the door, your dog’s looking to you to guide the way!

Want to become the leader your dog needs? Let’s get you started!

Congratulations to Sutton, a 6-month-old Sheepadoodle, who completed her Advanced Obedience Puppy Training this past week. Her owners reached out to us as they were having issues with potty training, nipping, excitement issues when guests would come over, and wanted her to be well behaved not matter where they took her.

We are pleased to report that Sutton is much improved in her general obedience, calmly sits and waits at the top of the stairs while guests to the home are welcomed in, is much calmer overall, and more respectful about following her pack leaders' direction and guidance. While she is still learning to master her basic commands under greater distractions and for longer durations, she is well on her way to being that calmer, more obedient pack member they desire. She is a hit at the groomer, daycare, and any other public place she goes with her humans. She even took her first trip to the Omaha Dog Bar with her parents and did well amongst many other dogs much larger and older than her.

Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha alumni family, Sutton! We are proud of you all. With continued practice and consistency, you will continue to shine!

Welcome to the Pack...our newest member - Cody! He is a 3-year-old Golden Retriever who began his Advanced Obedience training this past week. His owner reached out to us as she was having problems with increasing excitement when guests would come to the house, problems with recall under greater distractions, and wanted to be sure she was being the best possible leader she could for Cody so he could live his best life.

The golden retriever is a medium-sized breed originating from Scotland. Known for their kind eyes, loyalty, and enthusiasm for life, the golden retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. Though historically bred as hunting dogs in the Scottish Highlands, goldens also make excellent family dogs. The dogs usually get along well with children and are incredibly affectionate and intelligent. Golden retrievers make wonderful service dogs and are often very successful as guide, assistance, or search and rescue dogs.

Goldens are active dogs who require daily exercise and thorough training. It is best for a golden retriever to have access to a play yard for romping and to be taken out for a walk a couple of times per day. Golden retrievers get along well with most other dogs and are known to be mouthy, carrying things around in their mouths. Have toys and chew bones available to satisfy this oral fixation.

This breed likes to be where the action is with the family rather than relegated to the yard, where they can easily get lonely. They are not suited to be watchdogs, as they are friendly with everyone. Socialization is important for dogs and comes pretty naturally to the golden retriever. They should do well in a multi-pet household with other canines and cats.

Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Cody! We look forward to helping your owner become the calm, confident pack leader you will need in order to be the calm, confident pack member she desires.

Welcome to the Pack...our newest member - Gabby! She is a 6-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog who began her Advanced Obedience High Distraction package this past week. Her owners reached out to us as they were first time dog owners having the typical puppy issues: potty training, crate training, excitement issues, nipping/jumping, and general obedience issues.

The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large working breed from the canton of Bern in the Swiss Alps. Known for their distinctive tricolor coat of black, white, and rust, these fluffy, gentle giants weigh between 70 and 115 pounds. They are known for their calm and affectionate temperament, earning them a reputation as devoted family companion.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are also intelligent and relatively easy to train, making them well-suited for active families with children. They were first bred to pull carts, herd livestock, and protect their families from predators. Although they were first brought to the United States in the 1920s for farm work, today, this devoted breed serves as a working dog, therapy dog, service animal, and companion.

Since they were bred to be working dogs, the Berner likes to learn and can be easily trained. Early obedience training and socialization are recommended since they are very large—usually about 100 pounds—when mature. Prospective owners should know that the Berner is slow to mature physically and mentally; they may remain puppyish for some time. Additionally, the Berner is known to have a “soft” personality; their feelings are easily hurt, and they don’t respond well to harsh corrections.

Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Gabby! We look forward to helping your owners become calm, confident, consistent pack leaders so that you can thrive in your new human family.

Welcome to the Pack...our newest member - Blue! He is a 1 1/2-year-old Great Pyrenees who began his Advanced Obedience High Distraction training this past week. His owners reached out to us as they were having problems getting him to come when called, walking on leash without pulling them, increased excitement when guests would come to the house, and general obedience issues.

The Great Pyrenees is a majestic, large size working dog breed from France with a typically white double coat. This dog is known for a hard-working spirit and a sweet disposition, as well as a massive, muscular stature. They were bred for guarding livestock and can weigh over 100 pounds. The Great Pyrenees, or Pyr, is an adorable gentle giant who is very loyal to their family. They typically get along very well with children. And they are also used as therapy dogs and search and rescue dogs. However, potential pet parents must understand their propensity for nocturnal barking and the need for socialization.

As working dogs, Pyrs need a fair amount of exercise daily, even though they are not super high-energy. This dog is adaptable and may do well with up to two hours of exercise. Expect to walk your Pyr a minimum of 30 to 40 minutes a day, but don’t expect this dog to become your running buddy. This breed can be walked on a leash but may tend to wander independently when off-leash. They do best if they have access to a large, well-fenced yard in which to do some roaming and patrolling.

Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Blue! We look forward to helping your owners become the calm, confident pack leaders you will need to be the calm, confident, obedient pack member that they desire.

Thanksgiving is a feast, and while it’s tempting to share with our furry family members, not all foods are safe for dogs. Here are three safe(ish) options for your pup to join in the feast without, well, joining you at the vet!
1. Turkey (plain and skinless) – No butter, no spices, and definitely no bones. Just a small, plain slice will do the trick for your turkey-loving pup!
2. Sweet Potatoes – Forget the marshmallows, sugar, and butter! A small amount of baked sweet potato without seasonings is a good choice, full of fiber and vitamins.
3. Green Beans – If you’re doing plain steamed or boiled green beans, these are a dog-friendly winner! Just be sure there’s no garlic, onions, or oil involved.

Remember, moderation is key to avoiding any “grateful” tummy aches later. And as always, if you’re feeling unsure, reach out to your vet for advice on dog-friendly holiday habits before letting your pup indulge.

25/11/2024

Dogs thrive on routine and consistency. Holiday festivities can disrupt their regular schedule, leading to behavioral changes.
