Here is a little "how to" video on how to teach your dog a side or heel position for leash walking. This was a little video recap I made for a client after our lesson, but it can be useful for those interested in wanting to teach this to their dog. One important tip is doing this next to a wall to help guide your dog into the correct position, which you will notice in the video. Hope someone finds this helpful!

Each month I get a report of the traffic pattern on my website. One of the topics that shows up the most, as well as one of the highest rankings on my website is play skills. I think this is such an important topic as play can be used in so many areas. It can be used to build confidence, burn off energy, develop a relationship between owner and dog and it can even be used as a reward during training. Here is an article on the concept of reward events. This concept can be used to up your training game and up your reward process to make training more enjoyable for your dog. Along with the article are some helpful video instructional located in the article. Check it out!

Each month my website gets a monthly audit about the most popular pages clicked, most searched pages and most searched phrases. The past three or four months many dog owners seem to be searching about the different "dog training methods" out on the market today. So much so that the blog I have written on Dog Training Methodologies and Beliefs continues to be one of the most popular pages on my website.

Because of this I figured I should share this blog as I haven't in some time. The blog is titled: Dog Training Methods & Beliefs: What are the differences? The link to the blog is in the comments below. (Some photos of Journey off leash on a recent trip we took).

Went to the feild near my house yesterday for a training session with Quest. We practiced some whistle recalls, positions, retrieves and heel work.

Even though it has been cool out the past week, some dogs still over heat easily. Remember, It is important to have water, rale some breaks during your session, cool off in the shade, and or end on a good note. (Which is what i did with Quest).

Today I had a client who was having issues with his puppy sitting when asked. The puppy enjoys training so I was surprised when the owner mentioned this. After watching the puppy and owner work together I realized the puppy was finding training boring. I suggested making some of the rewards more fun and enjoyable, creating a "reward event". As soon as we made some changes and broke the training up, the puppy immediately changed.

Many owners, and trainers get into a rhythm of just marking and rewarding the behavior and that is all. Instead, try making some of the rewards more enjoyable by playing with the treats or having your dog chase the food or even using toys and play as a reward.

🐶NEW VIDEO!!! Today I had a new client having some struggles, conflict and frustration with her very large dog in a lot of areas of their lives. I decided to go back to some basic concepts including Choosing To Heel, which I have compiled into an instructional video (🎥⭐️video link in the comments).

I decided to introduce this concept for this client today to simply have some success without putting pressure on the dog and to build some more interest and value in the owner for the dog. I also decided to use this approach to eventually help with some focus work and leash walking work down the road. But at the moment just a basic simple exercise for this owner to have some success with her dog without putting pressure on or forcing the dog to do something.

This is my buddy Olaf! Ive been working with him and his amazing owner for a while now. When Olaf and his owner came to me he was extremely reactive. Dogs a block away or across the park would cause him to overreact.

Now olaf can pass most dogs across the street without an issue. He is a star student in group class. He and his owner work so hard. Owning a reactive dog can be difficult but with hard work, consistency and the right training plan for the dog and owner you can have success.

Pain and behavior issues is a real thing in dogs. If you see your dog has sudden behavior changes such as aggression, reactivity or fear/anxiety or any of those issue become heightened, first check for pain. Seeking help from someone like a pain specialist, canine PT, Orthopedist or a neurologist are good specialists to get solidly trained hands on your dog.

I cannot tell you how many dogs I see that display behavior issues due to pain, discomfort or some other health issue that may or may not be diagnosed.

Here are some photos of Journey's PT and cold laser treatment after his surgery. We are doing PT to help build up his strength, help speed up recovery and to help provide some pain relief. Since Journey was a puppy I have done PT and cold laser treatment to help provide pain relief due to his tethered spinal cord.
