Training exercises inside the house
When working with your puppy or dog, it is essential to recognize that training sessions do not require substantial time commitments. Instead, they can be effectively conducted in brief intervals, such as during walks or while indoors, as this approach promotes bonding and transforms the training session into a positive experience. Varying the training activities is crucial, as repetition can lead to boredom. Enjoying the time spent with your puppy and having fun with your dog is vital, as a negative association with training can result in resistance. Additionally, following each training session, engaging in a play session with your dog or puppy is recommended, as this serves as a reward for their efforts.
Max the Malinois
Max, one of my boarding trainees who is extremely strong-willed, surprised me today. He mastered three new commands and demonstrated a thorough understanding. I am proud of this young boy who had minimal training when he arrived and we are nearing completion of his two-week training program.
Working with reactive dogs / Puppies
Max has been enrolled in our boarding train program for a week. Initially, he exhibited reactivity towards other dogs, vehicles passing by, and people walking by, manifesting in lunging, barking, and growling. However, he has made significant progress in a remarkably short period. His exceptional intelligence is a pleasure to witness, making him an exemplary participant in my program. Max's presence brings me immense satisfaction, reaffirming my purpose in establishing this program: to empower owners to achieve success with their canine companions, fostering a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life, replete with joy and a touch of challenges - or perhaps, a considerable amount, but ones that are enjoyable nonetheless. #blazingdogs #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #malinoispuppy #germanshepherd

K9 Salili
What a triumphant moment when you finally get to embark on rigorous training with your puppy, overcoming the initial setback due to her debilitating UTI that affected her kidneys, and ensuring her full recovery before diving into intense training. Now that she's given a clean bill of health, your trip to Home Depot was a resounding success, filling you with immense pride in her remarkable progress and unshakeable confidence, and isn't it fortunate to have a playground nearby to hone her skills, but what's truly impressive is her ability to thrive in diverse environments teeming with distractions - Salili, you're a shining star, Good Girl!
Icy roads, unsafe to walk
What measures will you take with your dog or puppy on extremely icy days when it may be hazardous for you to venture outdoors, considering that individuals possess varying degrees of health, age, and mobility? Unfortunately, your puppy or dog still requires mental and physical stimulation through training to prevent destructive behavior or getting into trouble. Here's a video demonstrating a simple solution I employ on such icy days. What alternative solutions do you plan to implement?

K9 Puppy Salili learning stairs
Teaching your puppy or dog how to safely navigate going up and down the stairs is essential for them to understand the functionality of their hindquarters. Even if you don't have stairs at home, you can utilize external staircases found at playgrounds, universities, malls, colleges, or other public areas. This will not only build confidence in your puppy or dog but also acclimate them to different textures and materials under their feet. Ensuring the safety of both our dogs and ourselves is crucial as we guide them through this process to prevent injuries.
Roxy going around both ways.
Challenging Roxie to complete an obstacle course outside. This is her inaugural attempt and, if you observe, I employ distinct terminology when addressing her as opposed to Bodaway. Each canine is unique, and occasionally, it is necessary to recalibrate to refocus their attention and recognize when to pause at an optimal juncture before their focus is entirely diverted.
