Absolutely love this infographic from the fabulous Pine Irwin!

When we have a dog who is not the biggest fan of strange dogs approaching, especially on leash, it can be really overwhelming for everyone when a lose dog starts to approach. So I wrote out some (a little tongue-in-cheek) suggestions for ways to manage those situations and buy yourself time to escape the scenario.

I would like to congratulate my husband on his new job as Executive Director of North Country Animal League in Morrisville, VT. This has all happened so quickly, but I feel it is important to let all my wonderful clients know that we will be moving. Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I am making additional appointments available prior to the move to help accommodate anyone who wants to see me in person before we leave. Exact timing is pending us finding a new place to live.

We don’t usually pet sit, but when we do… they are adorable. Meet Teddy! He was in need of some socialization with other dogs, house training, and exposure to kids can never hurt. He’s a good pup!

Dog ownership is a lot of furry companionship, tail wags and chasing balls, and ample unconditional love.

Pet all the dogs, even the ones made of plant matter

What does progress look like?

Some days, progress looks like a dog who started medication and now their eyes are no longer constantly dilated. They can start to slow down and function more normally in every day life.

Other days, progress looks like an anxious dog who has never peed on a walk before, stopping to sniff and relieve themself.

It can be facing a stressful event, and instead of walking a whole block before shaking off, they shake off at the next house down, maybe they even shake off instantly after the event is over.

Maybe it's your dog making a new human or doggy friend.

Instead of chasing after a deer, your dog turned around and came back to you when you called them.

Maybe you got through the day without feeling like you have to watch your dog constantly, perhaps you got to go to the bathroom alone while your dog napped on the couch instead of pacing outside the door or following you in.

Progress can be a day without crying kids due to a puppy nipping at them. Quiet time in a crate, a happy wagging tail when you arrive home, no chewed furniture.

Progress can look like many, many things if we stop to watch for it.

Sometimes, when you don't see it, I do. I will always make sure to point it out to you. We humans need positive reinforcement too!

Doing research on Maria Montessori I came across this quote which so wonderfully sums up my views on dog training/behavior modification and couldn't help but share:

"I do say that ‘don’ts’ are far less effective – indeed they are often definitely harmful when they fill a young child with fear or resentment – than providing him with some alternative activity at which he may work joyfully, forgetting all about the previous activity or behaviour which you were anxious for him to stop."

Raining cats and dogs! Puppy Indi and cat Sprinkles have been working very hard at relationship building. Thanks to their mom’s dedication and patience, it’s paying off and they actually got some gate-free, close-by hang out time watching the rain yesterday. 💕 If you need interspecies help, it’s one of my favorite things to help facilitate. Dogs, cats, and humans all speak different languages, let me be your interpreter! www.ohhsitdogtraining.com

No dog training today, but plenty of dogs! Please buy cruelty free products and spare beagles just like these ones from lives of torture 💕

First Flyball practice for Prue! She was hesitant but we’ll get there

Pro recall tip. Step one: Take the time to teach one dog recall really, really well. High value food, long line, don’t poison the cue… Step two: have each successive puppy learn from the older dog who learned from the older dog before them when they were a puppy. Reinforce the pup with praise and food. Some formal training of each puppy is recommended too, but having a reliable older dog certainly helps the process!

Happy National Dog Day from our biggest boy and our littlest foster 💕

I often ask my clients if they have done a DNA test on their dogs. Does it TOTALLY matter? No. Can it be helpful? Yes. My husband captured this video of our rescue pup Solo acting out his natural herding instincts with our newly free ranging chickens. Solo’s parents were both from a pet store, which likely means that they were from a puppy mill. Neither them, not their parents, nor likely their great grandparents, ever saw or got to experience herding. However, the genes remain, and genes can drive behavior. Knowing what their natural instincts are, and what their breed or breed mixes were bred for, can help us in working with behavioral issues. Do we channel them elsewhere? Redirect? Things that are natural instincts will come up time and again, what is normal for one breed, isn’t for another. Nature and nurture both play a part in behavior and it is fascinating to look at all aspects of what goes into the behavior before our eyes on a daily basis.

What a difference a couple months and some behavior meds can make! I was called in for a behavior evaluation of Buddy, who had had a couple biting incidents. This video was taken during my second visit, which was several months after the first due to life incidents getting in the way of follow up. He had been muzzle trained after our first session together. Buddy’s body language told me that he was an anxious dog, as did his history. It was determined that he would benefit from some behavioral meds to help him in life and with his training. A couple months later, with a combination of behavior meds and counterconditioning, Buddy has come a LONG way. He can now go on walks comfortably, his owner has had friends along with them and Buddy is more relaxed and will check in with her when anxious so that they can make adjustments. He and I have become friends, and the future is looking bright for this highly intelligent boy and his AMAZING dedicated and intuitive owner. I know many of my clients are hesitant to try behavioral meds, but in some cases, it is necessary to make progress quicker and to reduce the every day stress and anxiety the dog is feeling. I don’t often get “before” footage as I try my best to keep dogs from being stressed out in the first place, so when I have access, I like to share! Please reach out to me today if you think I can help you with your dog!
