Hey 👋🏼 Meet the Frederick Family of Frederick Family Dog Training LLC. We will always be there for you. #family #dogtraining #ffdt #trainwithus #iowadogtraining #makeadifference #bestdogs #iowa #familybusiness
Multi-dog household tip: Role Call. Control the chaos by teaching your dogs patience and the order in which they can go in and out of places. In our case, we used age order, then our visitor.
How’s your homework going? #iykyk
There are too many missing dog posts and “found” dog posts!!
Guys, there are way too many lost and found dog posts going on in our community. We HAVE to do better; we need to keep our dogs safe!
Let's give it up for TALULA!!!!
She has been learning 💊 🚨 💭 med alert and reminder, and her and her human, Zoe, have been practicing! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
What I LOVE about this video is that Zoe gives Talula time to: 1) hear it, 2) think about it, 3) process what it means/what she should do, and then 4) execute the task that has been previously taught

Group train focus of the night: reliable recall amidst distractions.
Try this with your pup at home.
Low pressure recall - add in distractors and skills.
When your buddy hasn't seen you in six months. 😍

Baylee, working on pacing. 🙌🏽
Baylee has a naturally quick pace, so working on speed changes on cue, as well as matching pace of handler has been a big focus this week!

Junior Trainer Oliver making it happen at the end of little Nutmeg's Intensive weeks! 😎
We used Oliver (age 8) as main handler for this last intensive session training to gauge where Nutmeg was at in moving forward in the service dog program post intensive. Nutmeg is a little dog with a big job in her pre-teen human's life. So proud of everyone these last couple weeks.
Nutmeg made a TON of progress during Intensives, and even at 8 months old, began basic task training! 💥 BOOYA! Let's go Nutmeg!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🐕🦺

We all know border collies are smart, agile, and FAST! ⚡️
How incredible is this video of Ladd and his person at Menards today?! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Coach Terrell and Ladd's humans worked today on a slower pace, head placement, and general confidence and control in public. Coach T and Ladd's family are doing a such great job with him!
Way to go, team!

🤩 Cordelia: finished her coursework and just has her final left. 🤩 Caitlin: a girl with a life long passion for and knowledge of dogs 🤩 Saidee: travels two hours each way to put in the work with FFDT so she can bring dog training to her area! All three of them are amazing students of the Animal Behavior College and they get to hang with Kellie and FFDT during their externship as they finish their certifications! They each have such wonderful things to contribute to the dog profession and we love seeing them grow each and every session! What an honor to know them! #FFDT #mentorship #abc #futuredogtrainers #
GROUP TRAINS!!! Best!!!!! Join us!! It's gonna be a blast!!!
Now that it is getting nicer outside, it's time to review and practice your recalls!
🐾 Low pressure recall:
- Randomly ask your dog to come, be ready with a reward, then send them back to play. Most people want a really reliable recall outdoors but if your dog ALWAYS has to go inside and not play EVERY time they're called to come, why would they want to continue coming? Borrrriiiinnnngggg. This low pressure recall will teach them to come, reliably and in any circumstance.
Our trainers are ready to help you and your dog build positive relationships, and a rock solid recall, no matter their stage of life.
