Being calm can be rewarding
Affection & Aggression can both be extremely passionate behaviors. Emotion can ruin clarity for dogs as much as their human counterparts. In many facets of the work, we approach them in the same manner to dissipate issues from high levels.
Think of the UFC fighter with a grudge pre-match or a man marrying someone the family knows is a train wreck that will ruin him. The lack of logic and cerebral thought can make life unpredictable! Decision making process goes out the door for quick gratification and quick reward. Social Media has also created these same extreme feelings of love and hate. No middle...do you see it? 📲...
...Marley is learning calm behavior gets affection. It's been quite the process. Many would get frustrated and go straight to corrections. Trying to turn off the reward patterns for excitement is tough for a dog when it's all he knows is free-for-all feelings. Home will need to follow through. Doing this for weeks VS been doing that for months.
*Special Thanks to Runnings Stores as usual for Management & Staff being so inviting as well as wanting to participate in their process.
Today is our #Chicago Wednesday Group
First stops in #Mokena & #Bourbonnias
Our weekend was almost 100% full capacity. From Rantoul, Champaign, Ashkum, Paxton, Clifton, Manteno, Bourbonnais, Aroma Park, St. Anne, Bradley, Watseka, Kentland, and Kankakee. 🚌💭
2025 Winter Rotation is gaining traction unlike the conditions on many country roads. 🛣🚦❄️
-Spots usually fill for at least 8-12 months ⏳️
-Pay as you Go, No upfront fees or deposits
-Families run 7-14-21-30 day Rotations
Two PM SPOTS open for Mondays. ✍️
Monday was Herscher, Bonfield, Dwight, Pontiac, Garner, Chebanse, and Bourbonnais in afternoon.
-Group Class is Limited Numbers Sundays!!
New homes making contact since the holidays now entering into schedule rotation. 🏡 🚌💭
Availability is crucial to be on the schedule.
Calendar can be quite the logistical challenge!
(2025
New kids, New box, New dog
Kids trained In-Home Saturday, the worked deep into Sunday afternoon with Group Class. 📚
Some dogs definitely need both elements...
Bane and his siblings will all grow with us...
...limited space for families on our roster. Just added a few more with new kids and new pups from the Manteno and Bourbonnais region. 🏡
The plan, the preparation, the details. All can be just as important (if not more) than the training itself. Articulation of information is a vital part of why so many choose Crouse Canine for training.
Ability to move information is a skill in itself being able to get anybody from 6 to 65 years old on topics and techniques to comprehend the how, the why, and the questions we get from all families.
In the end, adaptability isn't something that all folks can do when put on the spot. We're known for it and do it daily. Accepting new dogs now!
JUST ADDED BONFIELD BACK INTO ROTATION
*Sunday Group Class limited numbers held in Kankakee every 14 days. Open field or building.
....Have to attend In-Home before Group Classes
*Winter are the busiest months for us; dogs are more isolated and contained. Dashes of Cabin Fever when the days get shorter, temperatures drop, and we hibernate somewhat like dogs.
Small adjustments can equal large changes! 🌬
Today: Iroquois County Board Meeting 9:00am
Kankakee Bourbonnais evening in St. Charles
NEED MASS UPDATE OF SCHEDULE SOON!
*Accepting less than 20 dogs in December
*Saturdays for Kankakee, Will, Iroquois County
*Rescue adoptions initial discount on lessons
.....SUNDAYS 2 IN-HOME SPOTS OPEN
.....MONDAYS 4 IN-HOME SPOTS OPEN
.....WEDNESDAY 3 IN-HOME SPOTS OPEN

#CrouseCanine The In-Home Training Experience
Humans need training as much as their #dog
In a selfish world, be a bit more selfless 🚸
Motivation in Humans & Dogs
Motivation is the number one reason goals do not get reached in life. We see self-help posts on social media daily...does that reflect their lives?
Same goes for our dogs internal drives to value their food, toys, and forms of affection from humans or their canine counterparts. Is the constant giving without receiving good for us?
Does #Motivation or lack thereof effect you?
-If we have too much, we take life for granted 🥱
-If we have to little, we value the small things 🎁
Motivation, Education, then Application 📊
Ask the 100s of homes we have been to 🏡
Nationally known for our teaching style 👨🏫
Value of your dogs life is valuable to us
Reestablishing Value = Reestablishing Motivation

When the home is clicking
Roscoe working on speed in his heel. Smooth was slow before, now that he enjoys the position speed comes, then rewards will be higher for 'em too.
If he didn't bit enjoy it, speed would be hard to develop, even w/corrections or leash pressure.
Don't get the speed we want? Will either withhold rewards altogether or give much less. Do better work, get more pay. 🤝 Simple as that....

Crouse Canine The In-Home Training Experience
Creating an effective Yes marker
Ashkum; one of our most supportive towns since we began going in homes many years ago. Hazel has grown up a bit and moved from #Clifton 📍
The new addition has a bit more intangibles to work with as well, including high food drive which enables us to create successful markers early. Getting training in during learning windows ⏳️
You don't need a clicker, just your own words.
You don't need a facility, just your own home.
You don't need social media, just an advisor.
