Meet Cami and Coco!
They are two spunky Jack Russell Terriers who have such a blast training with their people.

They have been learning to come when called and to leave tempting things alone using fun training games! 🐾

Having two puppies at the same time is a LOT of work! It's important to spend separate time with them bonding and training individually. But their family is very dedicated to this and it shows! 😊

Dogs need space when enjoying their meals or yummy treats.

🧒Unsteady and unpredictable toddlers and children should not have access to their dog while they’re eating. Using a gate or having a dining station in a separated room will allow safety and stress free dining for your pup.

👍🏼Setting up this space for your dog if you’re having a gathering at your house with adults! It doesn't only apply to babies and toddlers.

👉Even if your dog tolerates their familiar adults taking food, toys, high value treats or bones away DO NOT expect them to behave the same with other dogs, children or unfamiliar adults. How would you feel if a stranger came up to your dining table and took a bite of your food? Uncomfortable, Angry, Scared?

🚨Give dogs space! Stay out of their face! Dogs with a Bone....Leave them alone!

If the item is dangerous or needs to be removed, use your head and make an exchange instead! We encourage everyone to teach and practice "leave it" before you need it!

I've completed the Aggression in Dogs Master Course by Michael Shikashio CDBC!

This course was excellent in further equipping me in handling future aggression and reactivity cases and I am excited to use these new skills and ideas to help dogs and their people!

Bob did great last Friday with private training! He is also participating in the Canine Good Citizen class which has been great exposure for him.

He is a mix of Livestock Guardian dogs, which means he is more likely to show reactive behaviors, because it is what they have been bred to do!
Protect their herd and family from intruders and threats. 🛡️

On top of that, Bob is an adolescent(teenage) dog so he is getting a whole bunch of hormones as he reaches social maturity. 😬

But not everything needs to be deemed a threat to Bob. And with positive exposure in public spaces and him practicing his breed-specific behavior when appropriate, he is gradually learning that he can enjoy a walk and not react to another person or dog walking past while still being a great protector to his family. ❤️🐾

He's making progress every day thanks to the dedication to the training program by his loving family!
