Ates!
So many clients reaching out lately about having reactive dogs. We work on fixing it by building engagement with their owner to build confidence and so they can learn to ignore their surroundings. Puppies are sponges and we can create a lot of really great behaviors at such a young age, engagement and eye contact being one! Here is Ates at 13 weeks doing an incredible job staying engaged with mom even through distractions of outside and other dogs! He has almost mastered name recognition and has a great work ethic. His loose leash walking is coming along great already. Other things Ates has learned so far are sit, down, place, leave it, touch, spin, eye contact and he’s just really good at being the cutest puppy ever. ❤️ great work @beyhan_kumral_colak_
Whose your 2021 running buddy? Here are mine!
The run is just as much theirs as it is mine. Watch through to see how Rogue enjoys his runs🪵. That said, I need obedience when I pass people, dogs, bunnies, bikers and deer. This level of freedom is great for them and they absolutely love the full on sprints but it wouldn’t be possible without the initial work to instill a solid recall.
1️⃣ obedience
2️⃣ recall
3️⃣ learn to avoid all the distracting things in the environment

Penelope!
Penny’s parents came to me because at 8 months old she was very leash reactive, barking mostly at other dogs she saw and pulling at the end of her line- overall making for a pretty unenjoyable and a little tense walk. Over the last two months we have worked on engagement with her owners so she thinks they are pretty cool people, this helps her learn to ignore these weird suspicious things in her environment. We also upped her obedience game and held her more accountable for being and staying correct. By creating a form of communication with Penny, things became very clear with what was being asked of her. Penny’s confidence is 10 fold what it was when we started and although we are not done yet, her progress is notable! Currently we are transitioning her to more off leash training with having the freedom of more than a 5 foot leash. This progress couldn’t happen without the super commitment from @mor_tibbs and @tibble49. @aprettypenelope 🥰👏
Freedom under control
Mixing up some mental stimulation with physical. These guys LOVE to run full speed and get some energy out but it all comes with the discipline and control to still be obedient no matter what. This is just one way I mix in some training sessions, quick and fun for them. If you can keep training fun, you’re dog will enjoy working with you. 😊
Try adding in some obedience in your next walk and let me know how it goes!
Great day with some ☀️! Bucko thought before our session today that all dogs were for him to play with, aka- all obedience and control was out the window for him. We worked on his reactivity and being able to remain obedient while walking around other dogs, being able to ignore them, remaining calm when the stimulus of the environment increases levels of distractions and keeping his loose leash walking during all of this. Couldn’t do it all without my helpers Heidi and Kila! @rida_seferagic_ great work today!
Coming when called! For sure one of the most important things you can teach your dog!
Believe me, it takes practice and patients, a decent amount of it.
When you ask yourself, why does my dog not come when I call them- I ask you, do you ever give your dog a good reason to?
If we work on proving to your dog that coming when called is pretty great, they will be more willing and motivated to actually listen!
With that said, it doesn’t happen overnight.
If by the time they actually come back to you, if you’re scolding them, or they get taken away from a fun place (outside, park etc) they will for sure be less likely to listen!
If you also constantly spew recall command at them without any sort of discipline or an effective form of communication then the word ‘come’ is pretty meaningless.
So remember, if you want your dog to come when called, they have to want to!
Check out my training partner @fritz.n.archer recalling little Archie at 1 year old. Everyone seems to thing the recall of one dog has something in it for them too😆

Restarting Kilas article detection. Goal here is for her stare at the object to indicate it, without touching it.
Kila working through some motions, uses a lot of 🧠 power when there is only verbal and no physical commands.
Kilas ‘place’ exercise. This can transition to a bed or a place in the house where you’re dog is intended to go lay down and stay there until released. It incrementally has 4 behaviors, a send away, a reliable down, a reliable stay and a release command. We train each of these individually and then link them to achieve the final behavior.
