Check out our new video on interactive dog toys!

Did you know that mental enrichment for our dogs is just as important as physical exercise? Many problem dog behaviors occur because of lack of mental enrichment. Our dogs are naturally problem solvers and if we do not provide an outlet for these kinds of behaviors our dogs will find their own. This often results in bad behaviors like counter surfing, getting into the trash, or inappropriate chewing.

These interactive toys can help keep your dog busy, stop many problem behaviors, and exercise their brains!

Unfortunately, many local training classes now cost hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars! It is our belief that high quality training should be available to everyone, and that is why we have priced all our class to be ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ $๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ! Many of the dogs currently at local rescues or shelters are there due to a lack of training and control on the part of the owner. By training your dog you not only get a better-behaved companion you build a bond that lasts a lifetime!

Our trainers are some of the most qualified in the area and all hold high-level certification. We use positive reinforcement to teach the dogsโ€™ behaviors we want them to perform. This means that our training classes are great for the entire family to participate in!

Our dogsโ€™ behavior and health is greatly impacted by their genetics. In the United States we put great emphasis on the way a dog looks, but often neglect to breed for more social and well behaved dogs. We see this often with puppy mill dogs. These dogs are often extremely inbreed and under-socialized. If you buy a purebred dog it is important to buy from well established reputable breeder. As the data in this study shows mixed breed dogs my be our best option in the future for healthy and social dogs.

From Clive Wynne: This is an enormously important paper. The study included nearly 50,000 dogs from 227 breeds - It shows that:

Purebred dogs are on average genetically equivalent to brother/sister or parent/offspring mating. Some breeds are a bit better, but others are much worse

Purebred dogs need more vet care than mixed breeds. Some as much as 29% more each year and small dogs are generally healthier than large ones. Snub-nosed (brachycephalic) dogs have the most health issues.

The paper shows that with modern understanding of genetics it is possible to breed dogs with all the morphological & behavioral traits people seek but without the negative health impacts of excessive inbreeding. There just has to be a will to call on the geneticists for help.

Background Dog breeds are known for their distinctive body shape, size, coat color, head type and behaviors, features that are relatively similar across members of a breed. Unfortunately, dog breeds are also characterized by distinct predispositions to disease. We explored the relationships between....

This week we worked with some of the dogs at Unfortunately in the shelter environment dogs have to spend long periods of time in their kennels. Many behavior problems occur because of boredom and lack of mental simulation. We worked with the kennel staff to set up an enrichment area where the dogs can explore, use their noses, and get some mental stimulation.

This setup does not have to be anything elaborate. Most of the items we used were just laying around the shelter. You can see how much fun Rambo the dog in the video is having the first time he gets to play in the enrichment area! As dog owners it is important to think about our dogs mental enrichment. What are some enrichment activities your dogs enjoy?

Thanksgiving can be a tempting time for our pets. Be carful with these foods when preparing the holiday meal. Do not leave your dog unsupervised in the kitchen and make sure you take out the trash after the meal is done. The temptation to steal food or raid the trash can be to much for some dogs to resist.

Our Training Philosophy

Our mission at Ready, Set...Train! is to strengthen the relationship between dogs and humans by creating an open line of communication. We believe in training dogs and teaching people. Dogs learn appropriate ways to act and how to ask for things they want, and people learn how to better understand and communicate with their dogs. Compassion and positive reinforcement is the foundation to accomplishing understanding between you and your canine companion. Training is a partnership. Both the human and animal side of the relationship is important.

Behavioral problems are the number one cause of owner frustration and ultimately relinquishment for dogs under the age of three. Most of these behavioral problems can easily be avoided with a positive training approach and plan. Owners can prevent problems before they happen or remedy problems that are already present.

Your dog is a family member and that is why we encourage every member of the family to be involved with the training. Our family friendly approach to training can be learned and implemented by the entire family. Instead of focusing on what the dog is doing wrong, we teach the dog the behaviors we want them to perform. This method is scientifically proven to be the fastest form of training. This is great news for dog owners! Currently top search and rescue, drug detection, and service dog organizations are adopting these training methods because of the fast learning and reliable results.

We believe that learning is a life-long endeavor. Our goal is to become better trainers and teachers for our clients and their animals. We attend continuing education events, acquire certifications, and participate in college level courses to deepen our understanding of animal behavior.
