If you're feeling a bit silly from the holidays, come restart your training at in Walnut Creek! Do a nice walk or exercise session and bring doggo snacks (human snacks are available there) so we can all practice "chilling" in a new spot!

We had a ton of fun with our pack walk and holiday photo shoot today at the Broadway plaza mall! Good work teams!! We have some editing to do (and mostly choosing the best ones!!) and then we'll share many many more pics

As our training teams advance in the AKC scent trials, we have to introduce 1) more scents 2) more hides 3) harder distractions 4) more variable incubation times. Based on the recommendations of many scent work experts, I integrated a lot of the "tough concepts" early in the curriculum, so the dogs didn't get stuck on the easier aspects of the game; it is really paying off now that we have dogs in advanced and excellent trials. We had three dogs tonight searching for birch, anise, & clove, and not one was thrown by a BUCKET OF TREATS!!!! Such good work, teams!

It can be tempting to let our dogs get all their energy out doing "high octane" activities - fetch, chasing other dogs, chasing squirrels, etc. this can be really bad for them mentally AND physically. It's much safer to expend energy in 'medium' activities: walking, hiking, slowly biking, doggie fitness programs, etc.
particularly for working dog breeds, too much frenzied activity can create more anxiety, over arousal, and restlessness rather than fulfillment and balance. If you feel like your dog is an overtired toddler at Disney land, it's definitely time to invest more time in thoughtful exercise and training programs.

A busy weekend of group classes and walkabouts! Remember the little stuff adds up - even 5 min a day of training will help build new habits, and can make a big difference! Be gentle with yourself, too - no one is perfect, and our dogs don't expect us to be 🐾❤️

As we were setting up for class, there was a dog in the bath station who was very vocal. This kind of environment can create stress for anyone in earshot. When we first arrived, the 9 Mon old golden and foster terrier mix were concerned about the vocalizations. Once we did some focus work and had some treats, they were able to ignore the stimuli. This is a clip of relativity low intensity from our pal in the bath, after the core crew had relaxed. Our busy cities, unfortunately, aren't simple for our animals to navigate, so it's important we help guide them to ensure they remain balanced and comfortable.

Goose (6yo) is in a stand stay and origami (8mon) is in a sit stay. Asking for a down or sit can make the "stay" a bit easier. The Klimb platforms also give them a bit more structure to make the "stay" easier (and help to keep the puppy from clobbering her buddy). A younger dog seeing the older dog model behavior (staying) makes it easier for her to stay. If we start with achievable goals and increase the challenges, we can teach our pups the goal while ensuring they're enjoying training - no one likes being wrong all the time! If we skip steps, we can accidentally frustrate our dogs and make training less fun.
