Behavior modification is not dog training! It is REHAB for your dog. It is a mental reset of the mind, body, and soul. This is paired with an after plan that must be followed by the owner!

🍗 It involves a strict diet and feeding regimen! The key to reset the brain in through the stomach!

☮️ Isolation to decompress! Lots of crate time! Only on leash outtings in quiet places.

🔬Strategic and controlled interactions with the world once they have a solid communication system!

⁉️⁉️ What dogs need behavior modification vs. training?

👹 Just because your dog is too much to handle on a leash or if your dog barks at other dogs, doesn’t mean your dog needs true behavior modification. Yes, we do use some aspects of behavior modification in our training programs as they are useful tools to create a solid communication system! You can easily see the difference in a dog’s eyes; are the ”lights on” or are the “lights off”?

🤔 If you are not sure, the best thing to do is schedule a consultation with us! We would love to help you and your dog overcoming anything you are facing together!

🕰️ Schedule your evaluation today! It is easy! Just schedule an evaluation on our webpage! We are your local South Florida behavior modification specialist! We have over 20 years experience and our trainer holds a degree in veterinarian medicine with a speciality in ethology, which is the scientific study of animal behavior!

📆

It is easy to set up an evaluation or lesson with us! Select the type of appointment, a time, and complete the registration process! Once you sign up, we will send you an email with instructions.

👎 If you follow us or have worked with us, you already know dog parks are a big “negative ghost rider” from us but what about doggy day care?!?

😱 This is a post from a local mom’s group and our stance on doggy day cares is the exact same as dog parks!

🧠 Even if your dog never gets attacked or hurt, there are so many mental and emotional problems being created in these facilities!

🦮 It’s better to find a trusted individual to come over your home for 30 mins, give a quick structured walk and give your dog some play time and one on one interaction than a day care.

✅ Another option is find a trainer that does a day camp! These are much more structured. Think agility activities, small play groups with temperament tested dogs, etc.

Thank you to our friends at Southernwind German Shepherds - Tampa, FL for all the love you pour into what you do! It is so much more than breeding. It is sharing knowledge, love, and all the support you give to those around you! In a time where it is absolutely necessary to surround ourselves with other canine professionals that are in this for the right reasons, we are blessed to call you our family. 🫶🫡🥰

DRDT Announcement 📢

We are grateful that the storm did not have a direct impact on us and we have those who aren’t as fortunate in our thoughts. 🙏

We still had a lot of extra prep on our hands [making sure laundry was 100% done for towels and blankets, securing back up medicines for pups, securing outdoor obstacles, yard prep, etc.] so please be patient with us while we get back to our normal schedule. 🫡

Thank you DRDT Family!

Shannon is a super star handler and trainer! Don’t miss this one!

We just released my latest podcast. My guest is Shannon Faltak, as you will find out her journey in the dog world is one of a kind! For those that don’t know her at all just to give you a glimpse Shanon took Knox, a 5 year old dog, filled it in Mondo and French Ring , went to the world championships and now is planing to enter the IGP Malinois Nationals! Her story is very inspiring to me, she is a proof that everything is possible and starts with a dream.

“We adopted a German Shepherd mix recently and she is just a cute, happy dog but lacked the confidence. Yvan and Kim helped us unlock her confidence and potential. With their hybrid training program Rey has learned to love life and we have also learned how to keep her happy, healthy and engaged. We have also discovered ways to ensure she is safe not only to herself but to other humans and dogs as well and her environment. It is an on going learning process but we are enjoying it and so is Rey. Thanks to the expertise of Yvan and Kim!”

Thank you Denise, Andrew, and Rey! 🥰

COVID-19 is NOT to blame for your dog’s behavior issues 🫡

07/16/2024

🤡 On this weeks episode of internet dog trainers doing stupid things with their dogs for likes and attention.

🥸 If your dog is a service dog or even a pet dog in the airport, this is NEVER OK! Not only does allowing your dog these behaviors in airports [or any public area] ruin it for those who are responsible, but this is dangerous. Your dog is unattended and uncontrolled on a people mover that does not permit dogs as a rule for safety reasons!

🫢 This is a dog trainer with over 600,000 followers! This is not the example to set!

We have one opening in our French Ring training club in West Palm Beach! We meet Sundays at 8:30 a.m. Let us know if you are interested!

Why you don’t take dog training advice from the internet 101!

“Do you make a loud "ouch" noise when he bites so he's knows it's not okay and he's hurting you?”

We could compile crazy advice like this all day!

Stop wasting your time in these groups and watching videos that only skim the surface! Hire a professional to guide you and your dog with expertise!

All evaluations must be booked through our website and PAID at the time of booking.

You cannot imagine how many people cancel/no show if we don’t charge. Irony at it’s finest!

Our evaluations are comprehensive and very involved. We set aside time to meet with you and when people don’t show up, it takes away from those that do!

It is easy to set up an evaluation or lesson with us! Select the type of appointment, a time, and complete the registration process! Once you sign up, we will send you an email with instructions.

Sometimes everything isn’t black and white with dog dog training. Scratch that, often times! We are teaching Magnum’s owner different variations of rewards to reinforce not only his obedience but his clear mind set. . . . . . . #dogtrainingpalmbeach #dogtrainingflorida #gsdofinstagram #dogtrainingtips #happydogs #doglover #southernwind #drdt #bambino #dogbehavior

Training with Tinkerbell and distractions at the pool! 😍🏊‍♂️ Practice your dogs skills anywhere you go!

And this my friends, is why we not only emphasize but absolutely require owner involvement! All of our programs are designed to teach YOU just as much as they teach your dog! . . . Beyond that, investing in dog training is like upgrading your Ford Focus to a Ferrari! Yes, you know how to drive but if you want to learn to drive your fancy new car, you have to change some old habits and learn some new ones! . . . #dogtrainingpalmbeach #ownereducation #dogtraining #welovedogsandtheirpeople #happydoghappylife #drdt #downrightdogtraining

Look at this little guy go! We start all our dogs at STEP ZERO and always return to this step to get our dogs ready to learn! #ziggy #minischnauzer #floridadogs #gentledogtraining #happydogs #puppiesofflorida #floridalife

It’s testing YOU, it’s never testing the dog! @rushk9

Ruger’s first in home lesson! Pulling a dog from this fearful and reactive state is not easy! Yes, you can do it the old fashion way, with a prong or choke collar and man handle the energy but that just isn’t dog training. Ruger and his mom spent months building their bond up until this point so they can solve the root cause of these risky behaviors with love and it shows! She is easily able to use her tools to provide comfort and confidence to Ruger in a state of high arousal. By the end, Ruger even curiously tried to investigate us! Absolute hard work and magic! Bravo! 👏 . . .

Summer isn’t here but the heat is! Here is how we safely cool down our pups to keep them safe in this crazy weather! 🔥 ☀️Limit outdoor time during the hottest parts of the day! 🏉 Keep play sessions outside short and sweet! 🌭 Do not offer food or water before play! Dogs with full bellies that exercise are more prone to bloat! 💦 After exercise, wet paws and belly only! ❌ Never wet your dog’s back! This creates a greenhouse type effect and can make your dog even hotter! 🦮 Cool down your dog’s muscles by taking them for a short calm walk. ⏰ This process should take 10-15 mins. 🍹 Once this time has passed, allow your dog to drink some water or even electrolytes like coconut water! 👀 Always monitor your dog’s for serious signs of heat exhaustion and take your dog to the vet immediately if you are unsure! . . . . . #westpalmbeach #dogsofpalmbeach #playtime #malinois #petsafety #iheartdogs #activedog #summerdog #heatwave #globalwarming

Imagine life with your best friend! A world where you both have a true understanding of each other!

If you don’t keep your dog’s walk interesting, they will find something to interest them! Think of the dreaded surprise squirrel or barking at other dogs or even people! To keep your dog engaged, practice your skills when you are taking your morning or evening stroll and most importantly, have fun!

#dotrythisathome #dogtrainingtips Leash manners start at home! Before you venture out for a walk with your dog, make sure you have the basics down! These tips can help you and your dog to have a more enjoyable stroll! The key is consistency! Of course, if you need more hands on guidance, we are available for in person and virtual lessons! Check out our website for more information!

In our STEP ZERO, we turn ourselves into a big fun puzzle for the dogs! It makes us interesting! What does the dog have to do in order to unlock the food in our hands? This exercise is the foundation to communicating with your dog! You can see Ray Charles trying to figure it out! With solid eye contact, we mark, and reward! Follow us to learn more about our simple four step dog training program! #adoptabledogsofinstagram #floridadogs #adoptme #saveadog

You cannot train your dog without ENGAGEMENT! Step ZERO is our simple method to get your dog’s attention! #stepzero #drdt #westpalmbeach #florida #rescuedogsofinstagram

When it comes to dog training it is quality not quantity! These two clips show this perfectly! In just three sessions we have insane improvement with Teeter, the young malinois! We have been training with her and her family since she was a pint sized pup and only two lessons a month! At first she didn’t show much drive for toys or tugs so we focused on fun obedience and raising a confident solid dog! Fast forward to today and her progress is just so impressive! It’s professional guidance, dedicated owners, patience, and lots of love! Did we mention dedicated owners?! These are all the things you need to build a dream dog! Thank you for making us look good Teeter, Hyla, and John! 🥰 #darkmalinois #malinoisofinstagram #dogtraining #floridadogs
