Out on a hike with my own dogs! Reuben (7) and Raven (2). An explanation of Reuben’s pack drive vs Ravens pack drive and an endorsement for remote collar training for off leash reliability.

As promised, this is how I introduce dogs to hikes. New dogs spend a lot of 1/1 time with me on long line and playing with me so we develop a bond. I also use this time to introduce the remote collar. All dogs who hike with me off leash are trained on the remote collar.

Short Rant about the vibes on our hikes.

Doesn’t have to be up and down and hours of activity. Short, frequent off leash outings are great 🙌

What do Lori and I do after hours (sometimes)? Host interviews and publish on the podcast! Last night we interviewed Katie and we had a hilarious conversation about her dog, Winnie. I’ll link the podcast in the comments. Need training! Reach Out.

Off - Leash Heeling

This summer and fall I taught a drop
in off leash heeling course for owners and dogs who have trained with me in the past. I’ve been going on 1/1 hikes to proof training. Henry and Haley joined Raven and I yesterday.

If you took the class, book a session before winter so we can work! If you need to train, shoot me a message on the contact form which I will note in comments.

Gus came for training today and test drove our new Fall Photo Scene 🎃 He is working on collar conditioning for off leash reliability. He was in a service dog program prior to being adopted by and his obedience is already on point. Thanks to for the amazing props and for helping us set up the space!

Lori takes care of our dogs. Period. She has a sixth sense when it comes to their well being - Even taking care of them more than herself at times. Her wisdom comes from a lot of experience and natural talent. Even her touch is talent. Raven is 16 days post spay and her scar needs tending to daily. Lori keeps it dry and dirt free and applies the right treatment. I wish I contributed more in this department, but I’m learning a lot over the years. @abcdogtraining if she ever says “there’s something wrong with this dog” believe her.

Fetch with Birdie

Starts and finishes. 30 yard backyard pile retrieves with Raven. Video @abcdogtraining fake birdies @sportingsaint

Hope you set your mind on something today and get it done. Even if it’s as simple as unloading the dishwasher or listening to your partner. I’ll do the same.

CDX Open practice: broad jump with props. We failed this exercise on our previous try because Raven f*d off and tried to jump over the high jump after she jumped the broad. She was just having a ball and I had to call her back to me. We have been practicing with different set ups to prepare for the future. #akcobedience

Taking time to just chill is a big part of the game. Stop and smell the roses! It pays off.

Fold it in darling. All jokes aside the down at a distance has been a tough behavior for us to train and what flunked us on our first CDX open trial last week. Raven took 2 steps before laying down. So it’s a matter of being clear! Reinforcing the right reps, being patient as ever, using props and having fun. Love this dog! #akcobedience

@abcdogtraining @therapydogbuddha

It’s hard to tell if Raven doesn’t have a natural mouth or if my inexperience in this area has exacerbated the issue. Regardless, she chomps birds. Bumpers have been much better, decoys are fine. But a soft fleshy bird? Yeah, no. What do I have to lose by teaching her to hold the exact same way I teach her how to do every other thing we do together? 🤦‍♀️

Simple repetitions of a behavior Lori has worked on with Yara aka “Rougey.” This dog is a little powerhouse.
