If nothing changes, nothing will change. If we want to change our dogs behavior we have to change what we're doing and a lot of times that means doing things outside of our comfort zone.

I'm so over the moon proud of Gail & June for stepping WAY out of their comfort zone and doing the hard work. Long line in a public park on a weekend day is hugely impressive for a reactive GSD. Remembering all the skills they've worked so hard to build, remembering to breath, and how to create space makes it possible!

Way to go, team June Bug!

Practicing long downs this weekend with Elroy the same way I have with every dog that I've ever owned. In the back yard where fun things happen. Working my way up to walking out the gate, around the back of the house, and back into the yard through the gate on the opposite side of the yard.

Long downs are tough. The adrenaline wears off, the arousal drops, and it gets boring. Proofing a down to survive even when it's boring and there are more exciting things to do is what makes it usable in real life.

PSA - Don't forget to check your dogs gums regularly or you might miss something that needs attention. In fact, head to toe checks weekly are a really smart idea.

Elroy has been extra frisky with his hunting on our hikes lately. It's taking him slamming through brush and plants off of the trail. Today I lifted his lips and saw something green his gums and when tried to pull it out, it was stuck. So with a little more set up and intention, I pulled out a plant seed that had been lodged in the crevice joining his gum and upper lip.

If you can't handle your dogs for these types of checks, let's figure out a plan to get you there!

Being a puppy is hard, but Poppy is really growing into a nice young dog. She's beautiful and drive-y, but sometimes she needs to be reminded that the leash isn't a toy. It's a balance.

Stanley ❤️ putting in some reps for leash work and markers so we can use them to teach "leave it". Foundation skills are more than just an obligatory starting point, they are the basis on which all other skills are built. Put in the effort up front and save yourself a headache later on.
