Working on 2/3 tasks today, the first one you see I’m doing is “touch”.
This is a great thing to teach your dog, it’s the foundation for teaching them anything related to picking items up, holding things, opening doors etc.
Rollo here is going to learn how to remove hands from his handlers mouth during a panic attack.
The second is “orbit” to clear spaces in a crowd. A very easy task to teach and complete.
Our time with Bentley!
We worked primarily on stay, I try and work on situations the dog would be more prone to jumping up and out of the stay position. We run, lay down, go around the house, the point of stay.. is to stay in any and every possible situation!
Don’t be afraid to test your dog. The way to get a consistent stay? If your dog gets up you put them back in the spot they originally were.. over and over and over again.
2-3 times a day I’d recommend doing this for 15-20 minutes. End only on a positive note!
We went on so many walks this month!
Bloodhounds, Corgis, Doodles, Giant Schnauzers, Heelers and Rottweiler 🐶
Next we have a Great Dane puppy and a Coonhound mix🐾
Crate training 🐶🐾
Is your dog afraid of the crate? This is a great way to start. Throw a treat into the crate and say “kennel”. 10 minutes twice a day, feed in crate with open door, the dog will associate it with food/good things! 🐶
Bentleys play time 🐾
Bentley enjoys winding down at the end of his training sessions with some water play! We’ve gotten some long stays in recently. Even with distractions like dogs and children running around. He willingly puts himself into place now too. Love this dog!
Roco’s transformation has been very exciting!
We had a bit of a hard start to our week, but we’ve really earned his trust and started to expose him to new environments. We had our first walk around the neighborhood today and he doesn’t pull, listens the first time to sit and down, we’ve moved to working on stay.
Our next project is him learning “body boundaries” I’ll attach a photo in the comments of all the bruising I’ve gotten from him running/ bumping into me. I can see why his toddler siblings are tired of being knocked over! 😂
Roco’s evening 🐾🐶
We’re getting the basics down a lot better today!
Sit and down is pretty solid, we’re working on him walking on the leash as well as stay.
He’s a great dog who’s just so large he’s thought he could get away with throwing his weight around. Not over here!
Excited to see his progress after full 21 days 🐶🐾
Spent the morning working on “place”
Afternoon time is “stay”
You’ll see him briefly get the zooms, he’s a character, I adore this dog! 🐾🐶
Roco’s afternoon!
We’re doing the basics before we move onto leash manners. Once we have that down we will head out to our daily walks in the next couple weeks 🐾🐶
I’m working late.. cause I’m a trainer.. 😂🐶🐾
Bentley working on “place” and “stay” today. Picks up on things SO quickly!
My personal dogs Hank and Dottie, teaching these basics are a necessity for me!
This dog is such a joy, Bentley the Giant Schnauzer!
He picks up things so quickly, it helps me to focus on specific things the owner has requested because of his excellent foundation of basics. We spent time today feeling out the basics, how well we know them, and what I can do to fast track the best results. We move onto place tomorrow and longer down stays.
Have a great evening everyone! 🐶🐾
Picked up the wall siding in Pendleton this morning!
We finished the floor and will let it dry tonight, tomorrow we’re putting up the walls and staining them. Then we will put in kennels and plan out the windows next. Eventually will insulate the ceiling. Super exciting stuff 🐶🐾
Yesterday morning ☀️
We got the sheds floor finished! And went to Pendlton today to pick up the siding for the walls inside. Next we put the walls up this weekend, stain them, and put in my kennels!
Most the morning spent inside today due to the fire in town! Middle school burned down. Haven’t heard why yet. We had a morning training inside today. Lots of down stays. Be sure to vote on my poll below for what you guys want to see on here! 🐾🐶
The shed has been built! Over the next couple months we will be finishing the floor and walls, adding windows, putting turf out front.. and of course flower baskets 🥰 stay tuned and follow along for updates!
Comfortable? Daisy sure is. Here your pets are treated like family 🐶😘
Barley was shedding his handsome coat, me being allergic to dog dander and hair had to give him a bath to help reduce his shedding and my itchiness 🐶🐾☀️
Sorry I’ve been slacking on the videos everyone!
I will post a video and then it either gets cut short, or removed for the music I use. Trail and error I will figure it out!
This was our morning YESTERDAY.. you’ll probably see several videos today as I edit.
It’s sunny and windy today, what’s the weather like where you are? ☀️🐾🐶
