Working on building trust and teaching new coping skills to Cooper 🐶. He struggles with strangers, especially when they come inside of his home. That’s why we are starting here—with cooperative walks and high rewards. It took a few meetings to get here, and I will continue to move at Cooper’s pace. . Progress is not linear! Remember to work at your dog’s pace, learn their threshold and try to stay under it. #forcefreetraining . . . #positivereinforcement #gosniff #dogsonadventures #dogsofrhodeisland #progressisnotlinear

Maddie girl has a hard time being in new environments when dogs are around. Here she is at a park with her people, simultaneously working on her eye contact and her settle. 🐶❤️ She is opting into each of these behaviors and has freedom to explore on her long-line 😍 . Great job, Maddie! . . . #happydog #dogsonadventures #gosniff #forcefreetraining #portugesewaterdog #dogsofrhodeisland #loveyourdog #trainyourdog

Rucker! 🐾 Here’s a clip of this boy doing an absolutely amazing job navigating the pet store. . New environments can be tricky for Rucker, and he tends to be a very vocal boy regardless of his feelings. Here we are working on his ability to take in his surroundings in a calm way, check on his humans and walk nicely on a leash. You also get a glimpse of a modified “look at that” game with the cats in the store. Normally Rucker would jump and bark, but he is learning to engage and then disengage with exciting things for positive reinforcement. . . Good boy, Rucky! 🐶⭐️ . . Would you like to be able to take your dog more places with you? Email me today: [email protected] . #dogsonadventures #happydog #rescuedogsofrhodeisland #loveyourdog #trainyourdog

Filled an old Mac n’ cheese box up with kibble and then sealed it back up. #enrichment doesn’t have to be fancy. As you can see, Hoss loves cardboard. Ripping and shredding is a completely natural dog behavior! Let them do it. When you give them things to tear up on purpose, you’re letting them use their energy in productive, natural ways. 🐶 Have some fun with your dogs, ya’ll. . . .

Shy girl Lacey learning how to give eye contact. 🐶✨ . Volume on to hear me talk a little bit about why we are doing this. Lacey doesn’t have to stay in this game if she doesn’t want to! We have just set her up so that she needs to problem solve a bit in order to get her treat. Lacey is very nervous and easily spooked, so we are working on her ability to check in with mom via eye contact so that down the line she can look at her people when she needs some assistance. . . . #loveyourdog #trainyourdog #boxersofinstagram #dogsofrhodeisland #forcefreedogtraining #positivereinforcement

Dinner divided 3 ways for Mr. Yingo. A smidge in his bowl and then the rest in a Kong and a puzzle toy 🐶 . Enrichment is so important ✨ Get creative with your dog’s meal times! Tapping into their natural instincts and senses will keep their brains and bodies happy ☺️ . . . #enrichmentfordogs #enrichmenttoys #happydog #loveyourdog

Layla and Stewie’s moms thought these two would never be friends. The last time they met there was a little scuffle…but now look at them! 🐶. . . Setting up nervous or reactive dogs for success is key ❤️ We want calm, confident pups who are making their own decisions on how and when they interact with each other. No pressure. . . . #happydogs #forcefreedogtraining #positivereinforcement #adoptdontshop #loveyourdog #trainyourdog
