Train the dog in front of you.
•
Ronin and his owner have been working hard over the last month working on reactivity with other dogs using positive reinforcement, and he is showing amazing progress!
•
Other trainers had used e collars with him which caused him to shut down and made his reactivity worse. Don’t get me wrong, training tools absolutely have their place, but this is why training the dog in front of you is so important. Not every dog needs an e collar or prong. Sometimes all it takes is patience, understanding body language, to get to the root cause along with building a relationship with appropriate boundaries and rewards in order to see a difference in your dog’s behavior.

Great job Ronin, keep up the good work.

Goose has been making amazing progress in our private training program! Over the last few weeks we have been building up a solid ‘place’ command. Today, we added ringing the doorbell, knocking on the door and her owner opening the door to that ‘place’ command. This helps eliminate reactivity when there’s a knock or ring at the door, prevents your dog from running out the door, and helps prevent your pups from getting overly excited and jumping up on your guests, which is all part of having good manners in the house. Good job Goose!

Haimi is a dog that really challenged me the last couple of weeks. He was an incredibly anxious dog when he first arrived for his board and train, so anxious in fact that he would not settle, refused to go in a kennel, refused to do much of anything even with high value treats, and I almost sent him home. However after a few days, he started to settle in nicely, and I was able to work with him more. From a dog that had no confidence and wouldn’t even step foot in a kennel, to a dog that now willingly goes to his kennel when told, no longer rushes out of his crate or through doors, focuses nicely and is so much more confident, I am so incredibly proud of how far he has come. It’s taken alot of work but seeing him as a totally different and confident dog is so worth it. I can’t wait to see him thrive at home!!

Mango has been with us for the last two weeks for board and train. She has been making some amazing progress and has been working hard on her home manners as well as starting on some service dog tasks. Here, we’re working on a solid place command, and learning that even though we’re talking to her, she’s not allowed to get off until I tell her “free”. Good girl @mangodiggs
