Calling all Reactive Dog Owners: we have a variety of services just for you! Picture features 3 of my favorite girls. Can you tell which 2 of these dogs are reactive?

🐶 Breaking Up the Bark Brigade- if your primary concern is your dog barking out windows/in the yard, this one time virtual class could be just what the doctor ordered! Recordings available after class if you can't attend at the time of the webcast.

🐶 Reactive Rehab Level 1: This 6 week in person class offers hands on training with controlled triggers and real time feedback from professional trainers. Class sizes are small so everyone gets individual attention from the trainer and each dog has their own privacy pod so the dogs in class don't trigger each other. Because the trainer's time is split between multiple teams, this is an affordable option for getting to get hands on experience in a controlled setting

🐶 Private Lessons- work 1:1 with a trainer to have a personalized training plan developed for your unique situation. We offer in home, in facility, and virtual lessons. If your dog struggles with meeting new people, or people visiting your home, we recommend starting with virtual lessons so your instructor can get a good baseline without the added stressor of meeting a stranger.

🐶 Big Feelings Club- this is our comprehensive self paced online course on reactivity. With 170+ lessons, this is our most information dense service. The course has numerous practical tips and tried and true methods for helping dogs recover from reactivity. This course also includes weekly office hours so you can ask questions, like how to apply what you learn in your unique situation or ask clarifying questions about concepts or training techniques
💚 Available on Demand https://pawsabilitiesmn.thinkific.com/courses/big-feelings-club

🐶 Barks and Crafts- we're offering a painting project where dogs can make their own works of art! Different colored paints are applied to a canvas, then the canvas is placed inside of a Ziploc bag. Spreadable treats are applied to the outside, and dogs licking up the treats swirls the paints together to make a unique work of art! If your dog doesn't like crowds, you can take supplies home with you so your dog can paint where they feel safe.

Look at this smiley boy! I cannot with his happy face 😍

Astro doesn't like having his picture taken. Pic #2 is what he does when I point the phone at him with the camera on (pretty sure he can hear the camera turn on when the app opens)- note the appeasement and/or stress signals: squinty eyes, during away, awkward ears pinned back. Pic #1 used the classic photographer staple "hold the treat over your head," but instead of a treat I'm using my magic focus finger to get him to look in a specific direction for a few seconds. It's easier to get a good shot when you can direct your canine model in a way they understand- and giving them a familiar cue takes a lot of the uncertainty out of the weirdness of the camera interaction.

It's National Pet Day! In case you're not familiar with this goofy face, this is Astro. I know I'm biased, but I think he's the best dog ever. Brag about your pets in the comments!

Does your dog have separation anxiety? Most dogs do, to some extent. On the one hand, it means that they feel safe with you and depend on your presence and/or attention for security; on the other hand, it can cause a lot of problems for you (cleaning up big messes and replacing destroyed furniture), your neighbors (enduring endless barking), and your dog (prolonged stress, self-injurious behavior). A proper seperation anxiety training plan has MANY components-- one of them is to help your dog feel comfortable when they're alone. Here's one exercise to help your velcro dog detach from you a little bit:

Teach them a down/stay cue, methodically adding distance and duration. Pick a settle spot in each room your dog has access to (bonus points if you can make it cozy with a bed, mat, or rug). Practice directing them to that settle spot, rewarding them for laying down there, and have them stay while you leave the room. Gradually increase the amount of time you spend out of sight. Your dog will 1. learn that when you leave, you always come back, and 2. there's an alternative to following you around your house, and it pays better to settle than being underfoot (or glued to my ankles, like Astro ⬇).

Astro getting in some extra enriching sniffs of this couch that was clearly well-loved by cats. Take advantage of a patch of shade to give your dog some extra sniffing opportunities during these HOT summer days. If you're lacking novel items to explore, you can scatter some treats on the ground to encourage your dog to sniff around.

IS YOUR DOG “STUBBORN”, OR STRUGGLING?

It is all too easy to describe our dogs as stubborn when we are feeling frustrated that they don't seem to be listening to us, or aren't being very cooperative. “Nose down, tail up, ears off!” is often repeated when it comes to scent hounds. However, if we aren’t achieving the response that we are looking for from our dogs, we need to consider why and how we can help them out. Are we being clear in what we are asking of them, and do they understand? Are we asking too much of them too soon and not building solid foundations first? What is happening in the environment which may be impacting them? Are they trigger stacked and not in the right frame of mind to be able to focus and learn new things? Are they suffering from undiagnosed pain?

When our dogs aren't able to do as we ask, we need to consider why, and understand that they are not purposely being difficult, but need some help from us. We may not always be aware of potential problems: a worrying scent, a noise in the distance that we are unable to hear; to dismiss this behaviour as stubbornness is a disservice to our dogs. Being unable or unwilling to do something is vital information that we need to acknowledge, take on board, and respond to appropriately.

With any behavioural concerns, it is really important to get a thorough vet check to rule out any pain and discomfort; we know that up to 80% of behavioural cases have an underlying pain component. If in doubt, always get checked out!

It's peak critter season! With all the extra floofs romping around, your dog's prey drive may get kicked up into high gear. How strong is your dog's "leave it" when it comes to live, moving creatures?

In this video, there are a few ways that I fail to set Astro up for success while asking him to leave this bunny. The biggest failure on my part is waiting until after he lunged at the rabbit, showing me that he was over threshold and more tuned in to his doggy instincts than my instructions. If I had cued him 15 seconds sooner, he would have had more space to hear me and respond.

What circumstances make it hard for your dog to "leave it?" Find out how to set your dog up for success with an Ask Me Anything session. Comment below, and I'll DM you a link to register for a discounted AMA ($90 value, it's yours for $75 if you comment by June 30!)

Happy Pride! Throwback to my 2019 Brooklyn rainbow hair and Astro's ridiculous puppy smile.

Does your dog like to snap up sidewalk snacks? Dogs are instinctual scavengers, and they have a propensity for finding the most disgusting (aka delicious) stuff. The fallout of these unsanctioned treats can be... gross. And sometimes dangerous.

A proactive, preventative approach is your best tool in avoiding costly vet visits and/or carpet cleaning. Spend the time to methodically teach your dog a strong "leave it" and "drop it" response. Scan the ground ahead of you on walks so you can spot trouble before it's in your dog's mouth, and shorten the leash to manage their access to it.

Thunderstorms 🌩 'tis the season! Does your dog hate stormy weather?

For some dogs, the unpredictable loud booms of thunder can be very scary. Even if your dog doesn't struggle with noise, the weather can still make them uneasy. The shifts in barometric pressure, the increased wind, and static in the air can be stressful for your pup! They might prefer to have access to a bathroom where the tile, porcelain, and general lack of fabric can help dissipate that static.

Spring is in full swing! The transition from short winter walks to lengthy sunny excursions can be challenging for many dogs. The thawing ground releases an abundance of fascinating smells, prey animals become rampant, and snowbanks no longer block sightlines or insulate against noise. Neighborhood dogs, construction equipment, and running children are plentiful.

This is a great time to start carrying high-value treats on walks, or introduce a few new treats into your training stash. They'll help you compete with the onslaught of distractions. Don't be surprised if your dog forgets their leash manners or regresses in their training-- take the opportunity to reward your dog for checking in with you. And bring a little extra patience along with you, we're all a little rusty after a long winter inside.
