Having a well behaved dog is easier than you think!
Watch Osmond from our holiday manners class practicing what he learned in class.
Preparing food in the kitchen can be a problem for a lot of dogs. Food can be a trigger to behaviors like jumping, barking, and stealing. Putting management in place such as a tether or baby gate, training the behavior you do want (in this case staying in place on a mat), and then proofing that behavior (adding in the distraction, food) is the recipe to achieving good manners in the kitchen and around food.

Sarah, a dedicated dog trainer, enjoys outdoor excursions with her pup Archie. Look at Archie go! Sarah is poised to take her professional dog trainer certification test this Spring, having performed exceptionally well on a recent practice test. Congratulations are in order.
We are confident she will excel in the actual test. Sarah's expertise encompasses Puppy classes, basic manners, rally obedience, and most recently in-home private training sessions.

Shout out to Scout's owners for understanding the assignment!
Scout is an 8 yr old terrier mix who was recently diagnosed with diabetes and needs daily shots of insulin. Scout becomes aggressive and bites when attempting to give shots (we are working on plan for that as well) so to ensure everyone's safety Dawn has recommended muzzle training. Her beginning strategy was to have owners get a Command hook and place it on a wall at head level. Next is to smear some peanut butter in the muzzle and hang the muzzle on the hook. Now let Scout do the rest! This is all about Scout being able to make choices. This pup is making the choice to put his nose in the muzzle! When your dog is able to choose and opt out of situations that make them uncomfortable it can make for cooperative care and handling (ear drops, eye drops, blood draws, nail trims, ect) that much easier.
Way to go Team Scout!

Four auto check-ins in this 20 second video 👍
An auto check-in is when your dog turns his attention to you, without prompting. Auto check-ins are particularly useful in distracting environments or when your dog is anxious. Reinforcing your dog for looking at you will teach them to focus on you and ignore other things in the environment.
Reward eye contact !!!– take your dog for a walk in a calm, controlled environment or start a training session in your house. Without prompting, reward your dog every time they look up at you. Practice consistently – practice this enough times that your dog initiates looking at you in hopes of a reward.

Round Robins is my all-time favorite activity to do with your dog. It can be played inside or outside, it can involve the whole family whether it's a family of two or 10 and it creates the foundation for a solid recall.
Training ,family bonding, and a tired dog, it doesn't get better than this!

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT : POPPY
Poppy is reactive to new people and dogs. She also reacts to noises. We are working outdoors with the reactivity but also helping Poppy navigate busy apartment life. This was our first in person session since our virtual consult and it's safe to say this team did their homework!
