Piper

We have been working really hard on Piper’s reactivity and she has made such great progress!

Meet sweet Winnie! 🤍 Ashley and her demonstrate how to do place from a distance and why it would beneficial for her (or your dog!) to know! ⚠️”Place” can be a dog cot, a bed, a rug, a chair – you decide – and you can change where & what the “place” is that you want your dog to relax. It is helpful initially to choose a location with distinct edges. Using a raised cot makes it easier to teach the dog to remain within the boundaries of this designated location, and it’s comfy so the dog will want to hang out there to rest.⚠️ #placecommand #basicobediencetraining #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogoftheday

When training a dog, it’s always a great idea to practice in many different areas so they can learn to generalize their commands! While they may listen at home, that won’t necessarily mean they’ll also listen while out at the park or anywhere else in public 🫣😅 So here we have Bella practicing her new commands with Ashley at the pet store 👏🏽 #basicobedience #basicobediencetraining #puppytraining #dogsofthetriangle

Scout and Darrow working hard on their extended down commands with some big distractions 🐈 Incorporating down stays into your dog’s everyday life is a great way to get training in with busy schedules. Best times to do it are when you are cooking, cleaning, eating, or watching tv. By doing so, it makes it so much easier when you need to utilize extended downs in real life scenarios such as guests coming over! #dogsoftheday #dogsofinstagram #rhodesianridgeback #rhodesianridgebacksofinstagram #wheatondoodle #wheatonterrier #wheatonterriersofinstagram #doodlesofnc #doodlesofinstagram #raleighdogtrainer #carydogtraining #apexdogtraining #morrisvilledogtrainer

Lily update! 🐕 from learning to load up into the vehicle to walking nicely along side her owner! This pups progress has been amazing! Hard work pays off! #looseleashwalking #dogtraining #raleighnc #obediencetraining #dogowner #dogsofinstagram

Theo is headed home today so I thought we should show you how far he’s come with his walking! From learning to stay by his handlers side on leash and off with plenty of other dog distractions 🙌🏽 way to go Theo! #dogtrainingpaysoff #obedience #ecollartraining #balancedtraining #boardandtrain

Could you imagine Theo going from running away to staying put at the front door? You can see the progress right here in this video! He simply made the smart choice to sit instead of running out that door 👏🏽 way to go Theo! #trainingprogram #progressnotperfection #obediencetraining #dogtrainingisfun

Here’s Theo at the beginning of his board and train then showing his progress to becoming off leash during his time with us! It’s been a fun 3 weeks with him, we can’t wait to show off all his new skills to his owners 💙 #boardandtrain #dogobedience #dogtrainersofinstagram #offleashdogs

Alfie had his second lesson 2 days ago and in case you missed this great update on his owner working so well with getting his heel command down… go ahead and give our Instagram page a follow if you haven’t already! We post all of our update videos on there and we don’t want you to miss them in case they can’t get uploaded here due to music copyright! IG: @theidealcompanion_nc Thank you! I hope everyone has a great weekend! #dogsofnc #dogtrainer

Woody & Batesy Jo working on their on and off leash heel! Look how well they were able to maintain their positions despite being leash free! 🐾 #dogsofthetriangle #dogsofnc #dogtraining #dogtrainer #ecollartechnologies #obediencetraining

⚠️ See the progress ⚠️ This is Lily the 5 month golden doodle at the start of her board and train and now on Day 3 of her program! Watch how much she has transformed already from not knowing how to sit on command to being able to walk much nicer on a leash and not bolting out the front door! #fursdayfeature #dogtraining #dogtrainersofinstagram #goldendoodle #boardandtrain #beforeandafter

Generalizing simply means, teaching your dog that when you ask him to perform a behavior, it means the same thing regardless of the scenario or environment you are in! Like shown here, Ashley asks Honey to perform the same commands in a different environment and she was able to properly execute them with no problems. #dogtraining #fridaymood #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogobediencetraining #dogobedience #obediencetraining #placecommand #tgif

Honey is demonstrating various commands your dog can learn with our many training programs that fits your needs! She shows us her beautiful heel, sit, stay and down! Check out our website or messages us today for more info on what we can do for you and your dog! #dogtraining #tuesdaymotivation #dogtrainer #dogtrainersofinstagram #offleashlife #dogobedience #obediencetraining

Ashley and Honey are back at it again, demonstrating a perfect down stay while kids play in the background! Kids are the perfect distraction to train around because they are loud, moving objects that dogs tend to want to chase! 👏🏽 #dogtraining #mondaymanners #mondaymotivation #dogtrainer #dogsofinstagram #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogsofnc #ecollartraining #ecollartechnologies #obediencetraining #obedience

Here’s more on Sadie’s progress with her heel. Ashley added in some nice distractions involving walking by other pedestrians 🚶🏻‍♀️ #looseleashwalking #heelcommand #obedience #obediencetraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer #northcarolina #explorenc #canine #canineenrichment

Here is Ashley and Honey demonstrating all the various things plus some tricks you and your dog can learn from training with us! Learn more about all the packages we have to offer by visiting our website: www.theidealcompanionnc.com

Generalizing Commands — It is the process of teaching the dog to be able to successfully complete a command in many different locations, with a variety of distractions! It’s a important part of proofing your dogs training to make sure they listen to you whenever, whenever! Honey shows us here being able to perform an awesome sit & down stay despite having very distracting animals as part of her surroundings. #raleighdogs #dogsofnc #dogtraining #dogtrainersofinstagram #raleighnc #canine #caninetraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainerslife
