Gus was amazing today as she learned the stay and come commands in a different context. Socialization is so important to helping a dog feel safe. Gus has a great relationship with her parents as they communicated very effectively using positive reinforcement. Well done!🐾

Training Words of Wisdom

Many people want a trained dog, but they don’t want to put in the time and effort it takes for the results they want.

It’s exciting to see how smart this sweet 4 month old puppy is in her training. Today Ivy demonstrated her understanding of the come, touch, sit, shake, down, watch, and stay commands. She is fortunate to have dedicated owners who spend time working with her between formal training sessions. 🐾

Does your dog know and practice the “PLACE” command? If not, RSDT can help!

The "Place" command is crucial for dogs because it teaches self-control, provides a designated safe space, and helps manage various household behaviors, such as jumping on guests or begging for food. It empowers dogs to relax and remain calm in distracting environments and provides a structured way to redirect unwanted behaviors, fostering better coexistence between the dog and their human family.

One Reason Why Training Your Dog May Not Be Successful.

Perhaps the most important part of training your dog is being consistent and regular in training. Dogs thrive on routines. They help a dog to know what to expect and make connections from what is taught in one training session to the next. Think about how difficult it would be for a child if they only went to school two days a week and how that would adversely affect their ability to learn. Dog training is not just about teaching your dog skills, it’s about consistently practicing and building on them each day, and each week. Consistency helps a dog to feel safe, it reduces confusion and uncertainty. When you are not consistent the dog can forget what was taught and think that what you’re trying to teach was only a one time event and does not need to be followed. Not being regular with training, skipping sessions, and not practicing skills on a consistent basis with your dog risks the possibility of sabotaging your (and your dog’s) opportunity for success.

Training Words of Wisdom

When training your dog, focus on teaching your dog what you want it to do, not what you don’t want it to do.

Congratulations to Bear on completing Basic Obedience Training! Bear has come a long way in training thanks to the dedication and efforts of his owner. Those who train with RSDT strengthen their bond with their dog through positive reinforcement while also learning how to communicate and motivate their dog and generalize skills and behaviors taught in training in diverse social environments.🐾
