Austin Puppy

We got a retrieve! Star, the dog, used to just watch her mom throw the toy and not bring it back. We worked on retrieving from short distance and increased over a few reps. It’s so good to see how far they’ve come! Pun intended 😉 #puppy #puppylove #puppylife #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #puppyclass #puppysocialization #dogtrainer #dogtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #behavioranalysis #atxpup #atxpuppy

My new star pupil 🤩 Hank the tiny tank 🐶was loving the donut 🍩 bed so we added in “place” for him as to go back as a reset and as a reward! His momma tells me he has the same love for a box 📦 at home 😊 #puppy #puppylove #puppylife #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #puppyclass #puppysocialization #dogtrainer #dogtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #behavioranalysis #atxpup #atxpuppy

It’s been fun coming back to classes after a much needed break. These babies are SO cute. The first video the pup could only spin in one direction. Your dog can have a preference for left and right! Hint: it’s also because you may have only trained to one side. Practice both ways so your pup can be proficient with either direction! I love that the kid is having fun teaching tricks with his dog. what a great bonding exercise for the kid and his dog. #atxpup #atxpuppy #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingisfun #positivereinforcementdogtraining #dogtricks #puppy #puppylife

Here’s a session I did with my puppy to groom her with a comb I present my chin rest hand signal so she knows I’m coming in and she rests her chin in my hands. The eye contact means I can keep going. When she moves her head, I don’t force her to stay in my hand, but she brings it back to rest her chin. I let her sniff the comb, and she lets me quickly comb out her wiry hair on the top of her head, which has always been an issue for her. I end it quickly with a click and treat. #puppy #puppylove #puppylife #puppytraining #puppiesofinstagram #choice #dogtrainer #dogtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #behavioranalysis #atxpup #atxpuppy

What a difference a week makes in puppy class. One used to be fearful and now comes back to play. Pro tip: hold back the bigger pup to see if the little comes back for more play. Consent from all parties is important. #puppy #puppylove #puppylife #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #puppyclass #puppysocialization #dogtrainer #dogtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #behavioranalysis #atxpup #atxpuppy

New puppy class! Perfect size for each other #puppy #puppylove #puppylife #puppiesofinstagram #puppies #puppyclass #dogtraining #dogtrainer #positivereinforcementtraining #atxpup #atxpuppy

A week ago the little dog didn’t even want to approach the big dog in puppy class. Audio is on to hear the owners talk about what a difference a week makes in puppy social. Because the bigger dog doesn’t understand her size yet we held her back to allow the little one to approach on her own. #atxpup #atxpuppy #puppysocialization #puppyclass #puppiesofinstagram #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogbehavior

I start my training sessions with a quick warmup: sit, down, high five, shake. Then we got into LEAVE IT. It’s my favorite. It’s also super important to teach cuz it could save your dog life. My mechanics weren’t clean and I didn’t prepare my setup properly. But look at that eye contact she kept giving me! And. She was only 11 weeks old. Last week. She’s twelve weeks now and mastered all her skills. HAHA! Just kidding. It’s a work in progress. It always will be. I’m happy with our progress and I kept the training session short. This is how much fun training should be with your new puppy! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #positivereinforcementtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #atxpup #atxpuppy#wirefoxterrier #wirefoxterriersofinstagram #wirefoxterrierpuppy #puppylife

Love this dog playing ball by himself. I made the comment that he could be a great squash partner #dogtrainer #positivereinforcementdogtraining #dogsofinstagram #squash #ball
