Tips to advocate for your dog on Halloween:
đ keep all candy away from your dog and avoid placing bowls on the ground
đ keep your dog safe in their kennel in a quiet room while the doorbell is ringing and the front door is opening and closing
đ walk your dog before it starts to get dark and fulfill all of their needs before the festivities begin
đ if you are dressing up in a costume, do NOT try to purposely scare your dog - they do not understand it is only a costume

Loon Dog Training is now offering a puppy program! It is very exciting to bring home a new puppy, but it can also be a bit overwhelming. We are here to help get you through this new adventure! Our Puppy Day Training program takes place during the âwork dayâ Monday through Friday. While you are busy at work, you will have peace of mind knowing you donât need to rush home to let your puppy out. You also get to pick up your puppy at the end of each day to go home so you donât miss any of the bonding experience or adorable puppy time!
Are you looking for a well-behaved, calm, confident dog that can go everywhere and do anything with you? Then our Stay and Train program is for you! Click the website in our bio (www.loondogtraining.com) to fill out our application.
This is our balanced training gear setup. Closest to the dogâs face is the prong collar. This sits just behind the dogâs ears under the jaw line. The e-collar sits below the prong collar in order to make good contact with the dogâs neck muscles. Let us know if you have any questions about our setup!
e-collar: mini educator
prong collar: size 2.25
If this is your dog, just know you are not alone! Sometimes we get the dog we didnât expect. One of the reasons I am so passionate about dog training is to help owners live a happy and balanced life with their dog.

Training tip of the day: donât apply too much leash pressure if your dog is already doing what youâve asked them to do! #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #balanceddogtraining
Does your dog rush out of the kennel when you open the door? Before they can escape, close the door several times. Your dog will start to learn that just because the door is open, doesnât mean they are welcome to come out. #dogsofminnesota #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips
Keep your dog accountable đ€ If you ask for a down, make sure they stick to it until you release them. Advocate for their space even if there are dogs barking and passing by outside a dog park, so they are held accountable for what you are asking for. #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #dogsofminnesota #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer
Here are some tips on how to start kennel training with your dog! Always have a leash on your dog in the beginning so you can guide them into the kennel. Use both the leash as well as your body guidance to keep them from rushing out of the crate. For the first couple times keep sessions short and repeat going in and out of the kennel often before you have them settle for longer periods of time. Once they are ready, work on spending some time in the crate while you are home first. Build up time slowly and only let them out if they arenât whining. Let me know if you have any questions! #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #kenneltraining #cratetraining

While the treadmill is an excellent tool for physical activity, it is also a great tool for mental stimulation. Staying on the treadmill and walking at the same pace requires a lot of mental energy from a dog. It can also be a great confidence booster! #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips
Do you struggle with your dog coming when called? Make it fun! Use your body, be exciting, make your dog want to come your way. #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips
Solidifying the âplaceâ command #placecommand #dogtrainingtips
Giving your dog a job like âheelâ can help greatly with their state of mind on walks. #balanceddogtraining #dogtrainingadvice
Whenever I give a command, I ask the dog to hold that command until they are released. This helps to create clear expectations for the dog. For example, say you are walking with your dog and stop at an intersection. At the intersection, you ask your dog for a sit until it is your turn to cross. You donât want your dog getting up from that sit and potentially rushing into oncoming traffic. For reasons like this, I use duration with all commands I teach. #dogtrainingtips #balanceddogtraining
