🐕 Dog Body Language Challenge: The Reveal! 🐾

Thank you to everyone who participated in our latest body language challenge! Let’s dive into what was really happening in these photos.

In this series of images, we see a group of dogs interacting during playtime, with one dog on its back in a submissive position. At first glance, this might look like a situation that’s escalating, but let’s break it down:

Playful Submissiveness: The dog on its back is exhibiting a classic play behavior known as “submissive play.” This is where a dog voluntarily exposes its belly, inviting the other dogs to engage in play while signaling that they are not a threat.

Checking In: The other dogs are crowding around, sniffing, and play-bowing, which are all signs of curiosity and friendly interaction. Although the play may look intense, notice the relaxed body language and wagging tails—these are good indicators that the dogs are enjoying themselves.

Facial Expressions: The dog on its back may look a bit dramatic with its open mouth, but this is all part of the play. Notice how there’s no growling or signs of distress, just exaggerated movements typical of high-energy play.

Standing By: The black and tan dog standing off to the side is displaying neutral body language, likely monitoring the situation but not feeling the need to intervene.

While play can sometimes get rowdy, it’s important to observe the overall context and individual behaviors to understand what’s really happening. In this case, the dogs are having a blast, engaging in normal, healthy play behaviors.

Remember: Always monitor group play to ensure that it remains friendly and fun for all dogs involved. And if you’re ever unsure about how to interpret your dog’s behavior, don’t hesitate to ask a professional!

🐕 Dog Body Language Challenge! 🐾

It’s time for another round of “What’s Happening Here?”! Take a look at this group of dogs during playtime—what do you think is going on?

Look closely at their body language:

Who’s in charge?
Who’s just having fun?
Is anyone feeling overwhelmed?
Drop your guesses in the comments below! 🧐 We’ll reveal the answer tomorrow and discuss how to recognize play versus potential tension in a group of dogs.

Hint: Sometimes, what looks intense might just be all in good fun—dogs have their own ways of communicating that can be misunderstood if you don’t know what to look for!

Stay tuned for the answer and some tips on how to manage group play effectively.

🐾 Choosing the Right Tool for the Job 🐾

When it comes to leash training, choosing the right tool is crucial—not just for you, but for your dog too. It’s important to remember that the purpose of a leash isn’t just to stop your dog from running away, but to facilitate clear and effective communication between you and your pup.

Tip: “It’s Not Just About the Tool You Like—It’s About What Works for Both of You.”

Just because you prefer a particular tool or collar doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for your dog, especially if you’re not sure how to use it properly, or if your dog doesn’t respond well to it. The key to successful leash training is finding the right equipment that works for both ends of the leash.

In Our Beginner Class, We’ll Help You:

Find the Right Tool: We’ll guide you through the process of selecting the best leash and collar/harness for your dog’s unique needs.

Learn Proper Usage: Discover how to use your chosen tools effectively to enhance communication, making walks smoother and more enjoyable.

Translate Skills Beyond Walks: Mastering your tools isn’t just about easy walks—it’s about building a stronger bond and better communication with your dog in all areas of life.

Remember, the right tools combined with the right techniques can transform your walks and your relationship with your dog.

"I had a colleague ask me to create a post about positive reinforcement. She was curious about my response to prospective clients who specified or questioned whether I used positive reinforcement in my training. My colleague added that occasionally, she would get an inquiry that demanded only positive reinforcement training be used on their dog.

When she asks these folks what they mean, most people respond with the usual tropes about not wanting their dogs abused or injured. This is fair. I am concerned about the recent proliferation of ‘trainers’ being caught on camera physically abusing dogs. As trainers, we have a fundamental duty to prioritize the welfare of the dogs we work with. It’s crucial not to confuse some individuals’ misuse of training methods or tools with the appropriate applications of those things.

These are the landmines we face as a trade because our language has been hijacked. We argue over the semantics, even when the definitions are quite clear. Not that we wouldn’t use positive reinforcement, but as I stated in a previous post, it’s the intimation that we are using methods and/or tools that harm more than help.

The world wide web is a magical place. It enables folks to discover things they don’t know, but it requires some divination to transcend the first page of a Google search. There is always more information that reveals flaws in logic. It is human nature to be curious, but the internet has made us less so. And we cling to our confirmation bias.

In the information age, it can be challenging to sift through all the misinformation, as sensationalism often overshadows the details of any topic. Just look at how divisive politics and religion have become, and how difficult it is to hear news that isn’t tainted with opinions instead of facts."

Importance of Early Socializing and Confidence Building

🐾🎥 Watch Our Puppies in Action! 🐾

Check out this adorable video of our puppy class working on confidence-building exercises!

Early socialization and proper exposure are crucial for developing a well-rounded and confident dog.

🌟Why is Early Socializing and Confidence Building Important?

Reduces Fear and Anxiety: Introducing puppies to new experiences in a controlled environment helps them become less fearful and more adaptable.

Prevents Behavior Issues: Proper exposure to different situations, sounds, and environments can prevent future behavior problems.

Builds a Strong Foundation: Early training sets the stage for lifelong good behavior and a strong bond between you and your pup.

🐾 Atlas' Journey to Comfortable Nail Trims 🐾

Continuing from our last post about the importance of nail trims, we want to share how we've been working with Atlas to make him comfortable with the process. It's a slow journey, but ensuring your dog understands that using their teeth won't get them out of a nail trim is crucial.

Here's the process we used with Atlas:

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Classical Conditioning: We started by picking up the clippers (or grinder) and giving Atlas a high-value treat. We repeated this until he associated the clippers with good things.
2. Gradual Desensitization: We slowly moved the clippers closer, eventually touching him with them while maintaining a positive association.
3. Paw Handling: Separately, we conditioned Atlas to love having his paw touched and held.
4. Combining Steps: Finally, we combined the two – the clippers touched the comfortably held paw, and eventually, we clipped a nail.

It's been a journey, but with patience and consistency, Atlas is making great progress. Check out this video of Atlas' progress!

If your dog struggles with handling restraint and nail trims, we offer private sessions to help you and your pup. Our experienced trainers can work with you to make these experiences less stressful and more positive.
