Gertie and Gus had a great first day of dayschool! They learned a lot and had a great time sniffing around the yard together.

Some days all the we wanna do is relax!
05/23/2024
A huge advantage of day school is that we have the time and resources to work on the skills that take a while to master. Having a pup that is neutral, calm, and able to be relaxed in many setting requires lots of time spent daily just sitting in different environments with them.
Today Bean and I practiced laying down and just relaxing while another dog played in the yard near by.

Our weekend boarders having a great time in the sun this evening!
We like to keep play groups small, topping out at 5 dogs. This makes a safe, personalized experience for your pup! We pay close attention to body language and make sure we are diligent referees, stepping in and encouraging breaks when needed. This helps your dog get proper socialization while keeping them from being overwhelmed and stressed out.
Summer is just around the corner, so go ahead and reserve your spot for your pup to stay with us when you go on vacation! We’d love to have you!

We spent some time at the Boone County Dog Pound and met this pretty girl! Her name is Sasha, she’s a sweet gentle soul and would love to have someone to go on slow long walks with or a nice grassy and sunny place to lounge about with her person. Today she was feeling laid back, but we were told she actually likes to run, so maybe a jogging buddy would be good for her too! She really likes getting her fur brushed out and being pampered.

Looks delish! The dogs agree ☺️

3 months ago we couldn’t do this.
Pippin, the little guy with the muzzle, and Dunkin-the doodle closest to the camera that you can barely see-couldn’t be in the same room together, let alone on the bed, with food around.
We brought Pippin into our family when he was 4 months old and for the first 5 months, everything was great. But once he hit about 8/9 months old, he began to develop aggressive tendencies towards Dunkin and almost any other dog except for Bonnie, our 10 year old pit mix. As a trainer, I knew what to do, so we got to work.
Now, half a year later, we can see where all the hard work paid off!
How did we do it?
Behavior modification, muzzle training, and a visit with an excellent vet behaviorist (who got Pip on some behavior medication)!
We’ve got a ways to go, and I’m sure it’ll be a lifelong process to help Pippin regulate his emotions, but this is such a monumental success!

It’s been hotttttttt all summer! We keep playing sessions short and practice a relaxation protocol at the end of play time to keep everyone nice and cool. Plus it’s a great way to help your pup learn to self regulate around other dogs.
In case you didn’t get to see the full video on reels. Yeti learning how to interact with a handler in an overstimulating environment.
A favorite tool of mine for teaching a number of skills is the long line. A leash that is 15ft or more, gives your pup ample room to move around and learn what the purpose of a leash is.
We’ve seen a lot of Monty on his walks, but how did we get him to be able to walk in a heel in the first place? Lots of practice in a controlled environment before we head outside!
Let’s talk about wait time, luring and cues. 🐾Wait time- Give the dog time to understand what you want. Simply stopping and waiting for him to realize that I’ve stopped can increase his engagement with me. He’ll be wondering why I’m not beside him and why we aren’t moving anymore! 🐾Luring- The luring you see in this video is more relaxed than in the early stages of teaching a behavior, but keeping Monty waiting to get that treat out of my hand keeps him interested in staying at my side longer. 🐾Cues- You’ll notice I’m not saying much to Monty here. Maybe his name a few times to get his focus again, but I haven’t told him to “Heel” even tho that’s what I’m teaching him. Why? Because he doesn’t know what “Heel” means yet! I like for dogs to get lots of reps and practice getting the behavior right before I put it on a cue. Building a dog that has good manners on a leash can take time and patience. Stay consistent, bring reinforcements (rewards!) and practice daily! 🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾
Monty has done phenomenal the past 3 weeks! He can’t wait to show his parents his new skills when he goes home!
Having a dog with poor leash manners is often the number one cause of tension in the relationship between canine and human. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 How can you improve your walk skills? 1) Practice the “Stop!Go!” game 2)Bring reinforcements! 3) Baby steps 4) Be interesting 5) Remember the walk starts before you leave the house! 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 How can we help?

Ace, who’s been working with us for a a few months, is staying with us while his mom is on vacation. He says hi to his mom and good morning to all of our follows!
Dayschool is a unique training and pet care option we offer at Kaiser Canine Academy. We are looking to fill several spots for spring, so send us a message to book your spot!
Let’s talk loose leash walking and leash reactivity! Franco is working on self regulating when he sees or hears a trigger, which for him is other dogs. He is a very friendly dog but is over social, so he thinks ALL other dogs want to play too. Which, when you’re 115 pounds, can be a problem! In this clip, which is a sped up version of a much longer session, we are working on his leash manners (walking on a loose leash, not pulling) and working on building his trigger (dog in the yard) to be a cue for him to come back to me. I’m not giving commands, correcting, or making him stay right next to me. All I’m looking for is his ability to see (and lightly interact with at this phase) the other dog and then make the choice to come to me to get a reward or a quick game like “find jt!” Want to learn more about this process and get your reactive, pulling pup to make better choices? Book a consultation! Send us a DM for details!

What do enrichment and relaxation have to do with one another? A WHOLE LOT! In the first clip, we see Zoe and Dunkin getting enrichment from their lick mats. Zoe is still a little anxious, which is why she keeps checking over her shoulder at Dunkin. Dunkin on the other hand, had gotten his enrichment needs met (through licking!) and is cool as a cucumber. Knowing Zoe, I knew she needed to get some mental stimulation before she would fully settle, which is why I introduced the box game, which you see in the second clip. She’s a pointer mix, and really needed to use her nose to work through a puzzle before she was ready to settle for a bit. Looking for more tips to help your dog settle and feel mentally enriched?

Look at that grip!
Practice, practice, practice! I love seeing my clients succeed. Last week, Ace’s mom told me he was doing great with heel in the parking lot and in the house but was pulling away and sniffing and not listening on walks. Tonight she sends me this video update, and he’s doing so much better! What makes this magic happen? Her dedication to working with him EVERY. SINGLE. Day! Need help getting started with your dog’s leash manners? Send us a message, text, call, or email, and ask about our January special offer!
Ever teach a behavior in the house and then it seems like your dog completely forgot it if you try to use it outside? That’s because CONTEXT is extremely important to your dogs learning! Set them up for success and then slowly add distractions and new environments. Ace did great in his first parking lot practice, and now we’ll slowly add new environments and distractions so he’s consistent and able to heel on walks. Right now he still loves to run ahead and pull towards the best smells!
Non aesthetic training session with Franco! Franco is e collar conditioned and uses a prong collar for most of his walks. He has been working with a great balanced trainer before me. So why is he here for a board and train? Mostly to polish things up and work on socializing! Additionally, I want to work with him to have a better relationship with positive reinforcement (and work with his dad on that too!) so that he experiences fewer corrections and more rewards! His focus has improved so much since we started working together and even more so in the past few days that he’s been here for his board and train. Questions about our process?
