Dawgz'n'Stripes proudly presents newest memeber of our dogtraining family - Brieana Lemon 🐕

Brieana’s dog training journey began when her parents hired her to train their two new Doberman puppies. Kristi, another Dawgz & Stripes trainer, was the one who helped her learn how to train dogs in a way that made sense and without using treats as motivation.

Once Brieana started fostering dogs for rescues, these methods became crucial in setting up her various foster dogs for success in their new forever homes and maintaining a balanced pack at home. Due to her success in handling some of the more difficult foster dogs, she became known as the foster that rescues could send their “problem” dogs to in order to rehabilitate them.

In addition to providing obedience training, Brieana has successfully rehabilitated dogs with issues such as extremely severe separation anxiety, resource guarding, food aggression, leash aggression, fearful behavior, and socialization issues.

Brieana specializes in obedience training, anxiety, resource guarding, and socialization.

Brieana’s thirst for knowledge and dedication to her foster dogs reflects her belief that no dog should ever be homeless due to behavioral issues. Her passion in life is to ensure that all dogs (and their humans) enjoy a happy, balanced life through proper human-canine communication and structure.

Welcome, Brieana! 🎉 Brieana Lemon

Consistency is key in dog training! 🐶 Even after a training session, keep working with your pup daily to reinforce the skills they've learned. A little practice each day goes a long way in achieving better results and strengthening your bond. Remember, every dog is unique, so be patient and celebrate small victories! 🐾

Hey pawesome pet parents!🐕‍🦺

Dogs are naturally curious creatures with keen senses, making them susceptible to a variety of distractions. Here are some common temptations that can pull your dog's attention away from you:

Visual Distractions:
Other dogs: This is a common and often exciting distraction for many dogs.
People: Especially children or those engaging in active behaviors.
Wildlife: Squirrels, birds, and other animals can be irresistible.
Moving objects: Bicycles, skateboards, or cars.
Interesting sights: Construction sites, shops, or anything unusual.

Auditory Distractions:
Loud noises: Traffic, sirens, fireworks, or even loud conversations.
Familiar sounds: The sound of food being prepared, toys being played with, or other household noises.

Olfactory Distractions:
Strong scents: Garbage, food, or other animals' scent markers.
Interesting smells: Flowers, plants, or other environmental odors.

Physical Distractions:
Discomfort: Hunger, thirst, or physical pain can be distracting.
Urgency: The need to relieve themselves can be a strong pull.
Remember, every dog is different, and what distracts one dog may not bother another. It's important to be patient and consistent in your training to help your dog overcome these distractions.

Would you like some tips on how to handle these distractions during walks and training?
