One At A Time Dog Training

26/10/2022

Hello! It’s your Mid-Week Dog Tip! To help you and your dog through the week!
Sit-stay is a great place to start when teaching basic obedience, as so much is built off of this command. When teaching sit-stay DO turn your back to your dog so they get used to seeing this. Do NOT do the back up maneuver, as in real life, no humans walk like this 🙃. For example, if you put your dog in a sit-stay to open your front door, they will need to be comfortable with staying put while your back is turned to them. This is a great tool not only for basic manners but also can be a life-saving tool.
I hope this helps! Reach out to book your in-home session 🐶

I haven’t posted on here in a little and wanted to catch everyone up on my life! I got married back in May, we officially have a nine month old and sadly this year already we lost both of our dogs, Raisin and Mia to cancer. Losing our girls was so hard but we opened up our house to foster and currently have our first foster dog! It’s Annie! She was the depressed pup in my last post. We have had her for a little over one week and she’s slowly starting to relax from shelter life. She needs to be the only pet but can live with kids! Only pets still make great pets! She’s getting all the extra training living with me! Reach out if you are interested in adopting Annie!

Giving you all insight to a shelter dogs life. This is Annie and I trained her yesterday and took her to get a pup cup. She is the sweetest girl and as many shelter dogs, so sad + lonely in boarding. I look at my own dog and the life she lives, which makes me happy but then I work with these dogs that in just one car ride and the act of putting my arm out for her to briefly snuggle can make her feel so safe + loved she falls asleep instantly. The look of pleading in her eyes as I have to hand the leash off and they pull her away from me to go back to her cold and lonely kennel. No shelter dog or cat wants to be there. I urge all of you reading this to take time out of our day and brighten a shelter dogs life, to foster if you can, and always adopt. Let me know if you would like to meet Annie:)

Hi everyone!! I hope all is well and everyone had a great holiday season! I wanted to officially announce I am back to work this week from my maternity leave. We have the cutest little son, Maxwell, who was born 11/9/21! Everyone is healthy and happy. We sadly lost our Great Dane, Raisin on 1/6/22. We are thankful she got to meet Maxwell and have one more Christmas with us. I look forward to getting back to work and helping you all with your dog training needs 💕

I can’t say this enough, please stop doing this

🛇 Use your Manners! 🛇
The Sniff test - Stop doing that!
The sniff test - a badly engrained habit that society has been taught, without a clear understanding of what they're actually doing.

🚩When you reach out towards a dog, you are using body pressure AT them, giving them no time to assess whether you are safe & whether they require further investigation to pick up your information. You are forcing an interaction of a relationship that hasn't had time to develop. To some dogs, this is quite rude & the reason a lot of dogs snap at or bite people. This can cause alot of behavioral issues because of layered stress due to forced interactions.

🚩If they are on lead, they have no where to go if they are sensitive to spacial pressure, so can end up shutting down, shying away or snapping at your hand so you back off. This is an example of how a dog is now using pressure to turn off pressure & make you back off so they aren't so stressed.

🚩People think by offering your hand it can give the dog time to sniff to know you're friendly... they can sniff without being forced to sniff your hand.Their noses are far more superior than ours & they don't need close contact forced upon them to smell you.

🚩Some dogs might not want to know you. You have no relationship with them and that's perfectly fine. They aren't your dog so you don't need to touch them or steal pats for your own satisfaction.

🤔 If you are meeting a dog, what should you do?
⚠Ask the owner if you can interact with their dog. Not all people want strangers touching their dogs. Especially strangers who you are unlikely to see again.
⚠Stand up straight & relaxed, with your hands at your side.
⚠Ignore the dog & talk to the owner.
⚠Don't stare at the dog & don't try to force an interaction by going in for a pat. If the dog wants to know you, it will come up to you & sniff around. Usually they will move away & then come back for a second sniffathon. Some dogs will bunt your hands & wag their tails, which are good signs that you're likely an accepted new friend. Give them a few slow pats down their back (NOT THEIR HEAD) & then stop. Is the dog happy? Has it accepted your interaction? This will determine whether you can give it more pats.

🐶This is a more stress free option for dogs & a reason why in consultations we can develop a good level of trust, especially with fearful dogs & aggressive dogs, without a bunch of negative side effects from forced interactions.

The time has come for me to pause my business to focus on meeting our baby boy. I am three weeks out! I am so thankful for all of my clients and Pawtastic Friends for understanding. I can’t wait to meet our son and then get back to work to continue to help all of you with your dog needs. Stay tuned 🐶🤰🏻

When in doubt, your dog can always be exercised/walked more. Cures so many behavioral issues

Should you be disciplining the behavior or just letting it be? How do you know which behavior to respond to? Cesars gives you the secret.

Today is National Black Dog Day!! This boy is NEAR + DEAR to my heart! His name is Rudy and he is looking for his forever or foster home! With proper intros he can live with other dogs and kids, unsure of cats. When I tell you this boy has stolen my heart, he truly has! Please someone adopt him so I can come over and love him too!

Working dogs are not for everyone but if you have the energy and active lifestyle that these dogs need to stay engaged every single day, you will get the best dog. Zeke came to me, listed as a German Shepard mix, but the more I train him my thoughts are more along the lines of a Belgian Shepard? Thoughts?

Congratulations to these basic obedience graduates 🎓. Very proud of Oliver, Dobby, Milo, and the parents!!

Here’s a look into my training that I do with Pawtastic Friends . We train shelter dogs to help get them ready for their forever homes. It’s a great non-profit that has helped reduce the number of returns after being adopted and provides these dogs with enrichment time so they can get out of their kennels. You can sponsor the dogs training by going to their website, www.pawtasticfriends.com

We are halfway through my group training sessions! I have enjoyed this experience IMMENSELY! This will be my last cycle before our baby arrives, since classes are four weeks long. But not to worry, I will be back at Pet Supplies Plus - Las Vegas - Mountains Edge, NV for more basic obedience + puppy classes after a little maternity leave.

I love that my birthday has fallen on Labor Day this year. Very fitting as building my business has been a labor of love while growing a tiny human in me. I wouldn’t change any of it!

Working on some resource guarding when it comes to food. Helping get Shakira’s mind mentally focused on the task at hand (puzzle) while keeping everything I’m saying and doing up beat and positive to associate her eating with something happy 😃. I love this dog SO much!

Zeke came to me, a bit of a wild card. He has bitten some people and clearly thinks he’s the boss. We are working hard on him learning that humans are the pack leaders, which in turn has greatly reduced his anxiety.
His anxiety showed me he didn’t want the pack leader role, as he was failing miserably at it. Now that he knows I’m in charge he looks to me for guidance and has become an overall more well balanced dog!

Nothing makes me happier than socializing a shelter dog to get the chance to get out of boarding! Moose has a whole new lease on life!
