PRESENTATION TITLE: Teaching a Dog Snake/Wildlife Avoidance with Positive Reinforcement
SESSION DESCRIPTION:
The prevailing thought is that snake/wildlife avoidance must be done with fear, but by teaching it with positive reinforcement and helping the dog to understand what it is that we want, both dogs and humans are safer and more likely to avoid the wildlife.
🐶Come and join us! Please help us be the antidote to harmful training and pet care.
🐴66 sessions over three days.
🐦You can access the recordings for 12 months, and there are great CEUs.
😺Let's join together and create a large platform of ethical and compassionate pet care shaping the industry one paw at a time.
Barks and Rec is on the move!! In person sessions are on hold during this transition. Virtual sessions are still available. Stay tuned for more information
Ah, the irony. I had planned to repost a piece about helping to prevent or treat thunder phobia, and then ended up in the cellar last Tuesday night after the TV weather dude said, not quite in these words, “There’s a tornado moving toward your house, it just hasn’t touched down yet.” We are ...
Spring is a great time to do nothing!
Knowing how to be calm and settle in a variety of situations is a skill every dog should learn. Does your dog struggle in new environments, with distractions or in public places? Working on confidence and relaxation can make being out with your dog more enjoyable. Need help training your dog ? Reach out for solutions

Therapy dog work can be very taxing for both you and your dog. An important element to focus on during your visit is how your dog is feeling. Your dog speaks to you through their body language and it's important for us to understand what they're trying to tell us.
ATD is excited to offer our teams a lovely visual handout on some key body language identifiers to be aware of during your visits.
You can find this brochure on our website for print on the members page:

Many thanks to Jamie Ohman of Pet Portraits for taking our ideas and putting it into a brochure for us to share with our teams!
It's that time again- PLEASE keep your doggos safe!
July 4th Tips from the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.
Laurie Schlossnagle can help keep your dog safe while hiking in Utah
As the summer approaches, experts are sharing ways to avoid an unfortunate run-in with rattlesnakes — which, as some Utahns have learned, can end tragically for dogs whose curiosity can lead to them paying a terrible price.

Several times a year, Side By Side hosts a C-WAGS league for teams to play in Rally, Obedience, Games and/or Scent. It's a great way for teams to compete without the weekend-long commitment of a "normal" dog show.
We are very excited that our Spring 2022 League will be all the sports!!! It will be on Tuesday (Rally, Games, and Obedience) and Thursday (Scent) evenings in April and May starting at 6:30 p.m. (we try to be done by 9:00-ish p.m.)
We are looking for volunteers who would like to help the judges. The volunteers will primarily be responsible for timing and for preparing ribbons. It's a great chance to learn more about competition and all the sports. If you're interested, please contact us!

Getting strong - staying healthy! So proud of Comic and the hard work he is doing to condition and prevent injuries. Exercise is a key element to your dog's daily routine. I love incorporating mental and physical work into training sessions. Always check with a vet before beginning any new exercise/sport. Stay safe and have fun! #dogtrainer #positivereinforcementtraining #caninefitness #dogtraininglife #poodle #healthydog
Snuffle mats can provide great enrichment for your dog. It allows them do play out a natural behavior in a safe setting. It works their nose and brain to help tire them out. It can also be a good way to slow down a fast eater. I love using them when I'm working to help prevent boredom. Want more suggestions? Reach out! #dogtrainer #positivereinforcementtraining #snufflemat #trainlikethis #seniordogs #dogtraininglife
Had fun using noses and finding eggs today! Great mental enrichment and dogs were tired afterwards. #dogsofinstagram #dogtrainer #dogtraining #positivereinforcementtraining #dognose #trainlikethis #canineenrichment #dogeasteregghunt #egghunt #snowdog #treatsfordogs
So proud of Charlie!! This may not seem like a big deal but for Charlie -it is. She started training due to being very reactive towards dogs. She ( and her mom) have been working so hard. Reactive dogs are having a hard time and we should work to help them through those big feelings. Also thank you to our stellar poodle friends for helping be a calm presence. #positivereinforcementtraining #dogtraining #positivereinforcement #dogtraininglife #dogsofinstagram #reactivedog #bestdog #prouddogtrainer
Keeping my dogs occupied while I work keeps them happy and less likely to do unwanted behaviors. This meets many of their needs- (physical activity, mental stimulation, food ) and mine own ( time to focus ). #dogtraining #positivereinforcementtraining #puzzletoysfordogs #dogtrainer #dogsofinstagram #dogswithjobs #foodpuzzle #gettingworkdone #positivereinforcement #dogtraininglife #dogtraininglife
Puzzle toys serve many functions. Just a few reasons to use them: they are great mental stimulation, alleviate boredom, prevent unwanted behaviors, fun, and can help humans manage a variety of situations. #dogtraining #dogtraininglife #positivereinforcementtraining #positivereinforcement #dogtrainerofinstagram #puzzletoysfordogs #dog #dogtreats #canineenrichment #dogmentalstimulation #busydogmom #thehotchocolateismine
