This was a fun introduction to recall training (getting a dog to come when called) that two people can play together. It’s great for the dog, but also fantastic for ensuring both owners do the work (and still have fun!) #dogs #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofla #dogtraininglife #cutedogs #losangelesdogtrainer #dogstuff #puppies #dogtrainingtips

When the owner doesn’t know what to do & the dog doesn’t know what the owner is trying to communicate, it creates a language barrier. And if the dog doesn’t feel confident in you, you aren’t making sense to them or you’re unable to effectively ask them to do (or not do) something, the dog will then just do what makes sense to them; what’s easiest for them. #dogs #DogTraining #dogtrainer #dogsoflosangeles #losangelesdogtrainer #losangelesdogtrainer #puppies #dogstuff #dogslife #dogtrainingtips

It was great to run into familiar faces, became newly acquainted with fellow trainers, and man, I was blown away by many amazinggg dogs and their owners! ✨ I left feeling super motivated. I’ll get back to my regular posting ASAP! Until then… my brain’s tired… 🥱 #dogs #dogtraining #dogtrainer #michaelellis #losangelesdogtrainer #inspired #puppies
The best way to fade out a lure is to slowly and methodically cease or shorten certain your gestures or motions, little by little until your dog can do the command on verbal and/or physical cue alone. #dogs
Our dog’s name should be an attention grabber, but if we use it all the time, with no follow-through, it can lose its’ meaning or, if constantly paired with something negative, can eventually lose its’ meaning. The dog will learn to out his name because it just turns into background noise. So, if we use our dog’s name… use it with purpose, avoid repeating it, and if you’re worried you’ve poisoned their name, you can always go back to training sessions where you reinforce their name with rewards each time you say it, to bring back the value. #dogs #dogtraining
Why do we want new dogs/pups leashed indoors?👇🏽💬- prevents bad habits from forming since you can guide them toward appropriate behaviors - helps immensely with potty training and minimizing accidents- helps build a bond and engagement since the dog is near you and can pay more attention to you- helps them learn to settle and learn about being calm- prevents overwhelming or problematic interactions with other people or dogs, since you can control the interactions #dogs #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #losangelesdogtrainer #dogsoftiktok #tiktokdogs #puppies #dogstuff
