Northern Sky Dog Training

A tough search for Dex! The breeze must have moved the odor all over the place. Part way through he gives me a solid alert - if I didn't know where the hide was I would have called that. Almost guaranteed. He then goes on to pinpoint the hide which is what I want.

Our last practice before our trial on Saturday. He did a good job in the five other hides I set for him, this was definitely the most difficult. Let's hope it's not too windy! 🍃

We've been working a lot on heeling and rally things. Currently working on leash and trying to keep her focus on me. I'm entering her in a trial, but keeping my expectations low. I want her to get some trial experience more than anything. I'm pretty happy with how she's coming along!

My newest training prop. How does your dog do with novel items? I've used this a few times since I spotted it in the shed. The dogs I've pulled it out for are either young or not very confident dogs, sometimes both. How they react and approach can really tell me what we should be working on. If you're a client of mine, remind me to pull it and we'll see how your dog does. If I haven't brought it out, it's because I feel your dog won't have any issues (or I just plain forgot 😅). But, it's still a fun 🦆 to see how they do!

Babies and dogs don't mix!! Small children especially, are too loud, have erratic movement and are unpredictable. This makes a lot of dogs uncomfortable to the point of biting. Never let your child harass your dog - get in their space, their face, scream at, hit or pull on them. This is something I do not take lightly.

A one-year-old girl in Ohio died after being attacked by a pit bull, which severed the child’s carotid artery, and the dog was euthanized the same day.
