Sometimes we just need our friends for a little confidence boost.
Little Bluey was struggling with her confidence outside on walks and was spooked at every little noise. After food and toy rewards not working, we made the switch to some moral support. Once I brought out her new bestie, Boomer, to walk by her side she is now walking like a champ and leading the way! Way to go Bluey! #puppytraining #dogtrainingtips #positivereinforcement
Little Chase working his down! The key to successfully luring into a down is to keep your treat hand close to your pup’s body. If you notice they are popping up, aim your treat hand closer to their front paws 🐾 #puppiesofinstagram #puppytraining #positivereinforcement #frenchbulldog
Building on your foundations can really pay off! A firm wait or stop can allow you and your dog to explore together with more freedom. Be sure to always introduce skills inside first then slowly add in distactions. Never work off leash if you arent confident in your dog’s recall. #dogtrainingtips #positivereinforcement #offleash #dogsofinstagram
Wait by the door is one of the most important things you can teach your puppy or dog for safety. This also helps install calm behavior before heading out for a walk. With puppy Sophie, this is the end result of a slow progression of working towards opening the door. You can use wait at doors, crosswalks, getting out of a car, or anywhere you need a temporary pause. #puppytraining #positivereinforcement #clickertraining
