🐕 Three months post adoption Sandi is living her best life ~ fully e collar trained ~ off leash reliable with a rock solid recall
👉 Sandi is 2 years old and I'm her third owner ~ her laundry list of issues included leash reactivity, house soiling, separation anxiety
🐶 Too many owners get stuck in wanting to "love" and "reward" all their dog's problems away
🐾 The reality is dogs are much happier, more relaxed and less anxious when they have structure and clear rules to follow
🌎 Which in turn opens up a bigger, more fun world for both of you

🐀🐀🐀 More confidence building skills for Sandi as she learns to Barn Hunt
❤️❤️❤️ As a Rat Terrier, she's a natural and absolutely loves it!
👍👍👍 Video is her first run without a handler
🐀🐀🐀 Side note - the rats stay in tubes so the dogs never make contact with them 👍

🐕 What Is Canine Socialization??? ... Probably not what you think it is.
🐶 It is not teaching your pooch to be obsessed with meeting other dogs.
👩 It is not teaching your pooch to be obsessed with meeting every person they pass while out in public.
👉 Socialization is teaching your pooch that you (the trusted human) are the most fun, most reliable, most trustworthy and most attentive human being on the planet.

👉 Anthropomophism
👩 The attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities
😂 I butcher the pronunciation in the video but you get what I mean...

🐕 Your relationship with your dog starts at the end of the leash 🐾🐾
#heidishounds #doglover #dogslife #trainingdog #rules #trainingmode #showyourface
🐶 A dog who pays attention to his owner no matter what is going on in the world around her IS a well socialized dog
🐕 The dog who wants to greet every passerby IS NOT

😩 Anxiety = intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear
#heidishounds #doglover #petsarethebest #showyourface #becausewetrain #trainingdog
👉 Separation anxiety sucks
😬 Separation anxiety happens when a dog is hyper attached to their owner and super stressed when left alone
🐕 Some causes include change of ownership, moving from a shelter to a home, loss of a family member, change in family routine or schedule
😕 The resulting destructive behavior is how they cope
⏰ There are no quick fixes ~ behavior modification for separation anxiety takes time

👉 The "secret" to a well behaved dog:
1️⃣ Place
2️⃣ Heel
3️⃣ Thresholds
#heidishounds #doglover #dogtrainingtips #showyourface #becausewetrain
🐶 The down command, will help your dog learn self-control.
👍 This helps prevent annoying behaviors such as begging during meals or mobbing your guests.
👉 Dogs who understand ‘down’ are much more welcome in cafes and other public places.

👉 Maci learning “Place” basics at home.
🐕 The place command is one of three essential building blocks that will teach your dog to settle down in any situation.
💪 It gives your dog a job to do instead of the job they choose for themselves.
➡️ More on this later in the week 👍
