There is an art to rewards when it comes to dog training. Sometime too much of a good thing can set you back or even set you up for failure and not enough will ruin the relationship you have with your dog! Understand and find that sweet spot with @downrightdogtraining Stick with us and understand how FREE SHAPING through our STEP ZERO program can change your understanding of dog training! Stop luring, stop bribing, stop over correcting, and start learning to be dynamic with your dog! #fyp #dogtraining #foryou #dogsofinsta #bambino #drdt
Loving this progress with Mako! Learning to play and engage with a stranger on his own is the first step in his training. The most important part is he has to make the decision on his own. Other methods out there can for sure take away his options to “run” and he would have no choice but to bite and he 100% would bite but the trade off isn’t worth the reward. What would he be trading off? Heart and Soul! Building a dog takes time! It’s knowing when to let things slide [because you can fix them later on] for the sake of focusing on improving a particular skill. It’s knowing that five minutes of quality training is better than 10,000 subpar reps. This is training. You might see a dog that is fearful to engage because he keeps running back to his owner [who is just off the view of the video and where he keeps running to] but we see a dog with a great relationship with his owner and tons of natural possession. The puzzle pieces are there! It’s time to put this baby together! 🧩🧩🧩

I know we make it look easy but understanding what a dog needs in Step Zero is critical to progressing in our program. Oso is doing it! This is real life behavior modification in the works! #behaviormodification #malinois #belgianmalinois #malinoisofinsta #reactivedogs #obedienceisnottheanswer #mindgames #dogsthatlovework #workingdogs #happydogs #reactivedogs #dogsthatbite #dogsthatexplore #floridadogs #westpalmdog #topdog #dogtranining
How to clean your dog’s ears! Volume up so you can hear! We are using Veterinary Formula Ear Therapy! This is the best you can buy OTC with actual ingredients that solve the problem!👂🏻🤪 #dogcare #dogtraining #doghandling #cleanyourdogsears #palmbeachdogs #loveyourdog
This added layer of security is everything! Will this dog live bite? We don’t know. We haven’t been able to find a real human to test him out. The absolute biggest dissuasion factor here is not the dog’s bite, it is his training and attentiveness to his owner and surroundings. Don’t be fooled by snake oil salesman when you are searching for a family protection dog. “Dissuade” is the name of the game! #dissuade #protection #obedienceisprotection #confidenceiskey #belgianmalinois #floridadogs #robbery #dogsthatwork #miamidogs #floridalife #clematis #atm #dangerdanger #safeplace
