Chew this, not that! Not only can toys resembling household items be confusing to dogs but if we don't show them what they can chew than they will make those decisions for themselves. Trust me, dogs aren't chewsy! ----> pun intended. 🥁

I’m usually training solo so I often don’t capture photos during a session. Luckily I had a sidekick with me this weekend. Miss Cocoa is such a smart girl with an incredible loving and devoted family. After observing Cocoa’s behaviors and conveying that communication to her parents we were able to meet Cocoa’s needs and see wonderful progress during our lesson. Understanding behavior and establishing communcation is essential to the learning process. If we recognize the signs our dog is showing us and respond appropriately in the moment, we can change unwanted behaviors effectively and efficiently. I really enjoyed working with this family and Miss Cocoa! Photo credit to Miss Delena Elizabeth.

The holidays are upon us and while we may find ourselves busier than usual, this is NOT the time to slack on behavior expectations for our dogs. This time of the year is filled with so many temptations for our dogs. For instance, grandma walking through the front door with fresh baked rolls, Christmas cookies sitting on the counter and decorations to chew on. Don't worry, we got you! We have come up with a fun way to get the whole family in on keeping tabs on your pups behavior this holiday season! Play Dog Training BINGO with us! See details in the comment section!

Bingo cards are $8 each or 2 for $15

I would have to say that jumping is our most common problem behavior that we hear about. While curbing jumping is much more about being proactive rather than reactive, there are multiple strategies to help with jumping behavior. Learn more at www.kodask9academy.com

Many unwanted behaviors that drive us crazy result from an intelligent dog who is not receiving adequate mental stimulation. When we bring a working dog into our lives and do not provide them with enough mental stimulation we potentially set ourselves up for disaster. If you would like more information, tips, tricks and advice on how to provide your dog with opportunities for mental stimulation contact us Koda's Canine Academy

Took my guy Roger out today. He’s such a sweet boy and was happy to be out and about today. This love bug is waiting for his forever family at the Somerset Humane Society.

One of the comments we hear often is "my dog doesn't like cats" when odds are that the relationship hasn't been fostered properly or behavior expectations have not been established yet. Proper introductions and supervision are key parts of creating a cohesive environment between dogs and cats. For assistance with this contact us at Koda's Canine Academy

This is so accurate! My dogs definitely have a long list of nicknames.
Kidding aside, check your dog’s engagement with you. Test your dog by calling their name. If they don’t look at you when they hear their name it’s a sign to work on focus cue and time to get that practice in! If they won’t focus on you in the living room than they likely won’t focus on you other places.
