Time for another answer to your burning questions!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Today's question was asked by Crystal: “My dog resists on walks and only wants to go certain paths. Is there a way I can change this behavior?”

🔥 Did you recently adopt your pup? This is a common behavior in dogs who are figuring out their environments or who need to build up their confidence. Pups are also creatures of habit, so it's possible they just like the familiarity of those paths. Here are a couple of tips to help: 1) Time your walks to be before mealtime so your pup is at their hungriest 2) Bring the yummiest treats with you 3) Use encouragement, movement, and treats to help your pup overcome their fears! 4) Go slow and start with just doing one new block at a time (small victories are still victories!). We wish you luck with your pup and if you're interested, you can also try In-Home Training to build a custom plan that works great for you and your dog. Here's the link if you're interested: https://www.thek9coach.com/in-home-training

We've got at LEAST one more category of dog names to shout out: dogs named after Things!! Aka not food, not people, not places, but just... random things!

Share your dogs who fit that category below so they can hang out with River!

⭐️⭐️ Meet the Trainer: Wendy L⭐️⭐️
🐾🐾 Boot Camp Trainer 🐾🐾

🔹What is your favorite part about being a dog trainer?
Helping build and strengthen the relationship between dogs and their owners - teaching owners how to set and maintain a clear line of communication and build trust is so fun to see blossom in both the dogs and the owners. Both of their worlds become so much bigger and so much more fun.

🔹What is your favorite behavior to teach at Boot Camp?
I am particularly fond of loose leash walking! For me, there is nothing more stressful than fighting against your dog on a walk and having the entire thing turn into a headache rather than a relaxing and fulfilling activity. It is so fundamental to fully experiencing the world with your dog - especially your large, strong dog 😅

🔹What hobbies do you enjoy?
I love road trips, and I love food! My partner and I recently took a weekend trip to Kansas City, MO exclusively to BBQ hop.

🔹What is your favorite trick or activity that you do with your dog?
I love seeing how far away from her I can get while she's in a down-stay and then watching her sprint to me when I release her. She has simultaneously the goofiest and most powerful run 🥰

🔹What is one fun fact about yourself?
Before entering the dog world I went to school for cosmetology and lived in San Diego for several years before relocating back to the midwest last year. I'm still readjusting to the seasons 😐
