Treats 🥓🥕🫛

We get a lot of FAQ's about treats from our students and community members. Here are some of the questions and our usual answers:

1.) What kind? 🦴
Kibble is the #1 treat we suggest for our SDIT.
Most dogs will take kibble as a reward for training in the home or even the yard. Some will take kibble even when we start doing socialization, up to pet friendly locations. (TIP: You can up the value of kibble by adding food toppers, freezer dried or smellier treats in a baggie with kibble overnight, then separate out the kibble.)

2.) How many? ➕
The amount of treats you give per day depend on a couple factors. The size of your puppy or dog, what type of treats, (kibble vs separate treats), calories, and what your vet says. For instance if your using kibble, you can always separate out a small portion of their meal to use to train with, thus leaving room for a few other types of treats.

3.) How quickly should we up the value? ⏫
That also depends on several things. Are we sure the dog knows the behavior your asking for? Or do you need to take a step back to reinforce the skill? Are the distractions to much for any training? We don't want to up the value of the treat just to compensate for to high of a distraction. Instead, we want to address it in training first.

For instance if they never sat outside the house before, and you take them to the outside of a store and they can't engage or pay attention at all, then this would be addressed in training. Adding more valuable treats will simple teach the dog that "hey, I can get better treats if I don't pay attention". 🐶

If instead your SDIT knows how to sit, and they know how to sit anywhere in the house, outside, and parking lots. And you take them to the outside of a store and they are able to engage with you, but seem a bit distracted and slow to sit, then maybe up the value a bit just to help with the engagement.

4.) What about human food for treats? 😋
While we know there are certain types of human food that our SDIT can eat, we highly recommend speaking to your vet about the types you can give your SDIT, including how it needs to be prepared, the amount, and what to look for. Secondly, many human foods can be extremely high value so we want to be sure to use them wisely.

5.) Can I give treats just because? ❤️
Of course. Giving a treat now and then throughout the day, or a milk bone, or filled toy is a great way to reward your SDIT for simply being a dog. It's also a great way to work on settling. 😉

Be sure to check out the comments for several of our FREE youtube videos about treats.

SUMMER AND YOUR SDIT☀️

It’s heating up out there and planning ahead can really help you modify your training to keep you and your SDIT safe. Here are some tips we gathered to keep your SDIT, and yourself, cool, and 💛we would love for you to leave your tips in the comments below.

1.) Adjust your walking and training routine. 🚶🏽‍♂️
Walk /train your dog early in the morning or in the evening
when the ground is cooler. This will not only protect their
paws but be more comfortable for them, and you.

2.) Know how to spot heatstroke. 🥵
Symptoms include excessive panting and drooling, very red
gums, vomiting or loose bowels, and weakness.

3.) Circulate cool air, at home, and in the car. 💨

4.) Keep them hydrated. 💦
Dogs always need to drink plenty of water, but in the summer
be sure to provide and encourage water often. Be sure to
carry water and a water dish when you are out training.

5.) *Use cooling mats, wet towels, and/or cooling vests. 😎

6.) Provide shade. 🌴
Use shaded area’s, or use pop up tents for your yard.

7.) Less or indoor exercise and/or training. 🏡
Remember to keep some filled frozen Kongs (or similar) in
your freezer for inside activity.

8.) Regular grooming or summer hair cuts. 🪒

9.) Invest in dog shoes, and be sure to introduce slowly. 🥾

10.) NEVER leave your SDIT in the car alone. ⛔️🚙

*Note: Always check with your vet before using cooling techniques or equipment.

One FAQ about our Academy is if it's just for puppies 🐶.

*In fact we have members who start with adolescent or young dogs, (as well as puppies).

The Academy is in stages, and in stage one we work on the fundamentals of training a service dog with positive reinforcement.

Stage one has lessons that help with:

✅ Planning
✅ Focus
✅ Engagement

which are some of our biggest challenges with owner/training a SD. Thus adolescent and young dogs benefit as well.

My Service Dog and Me Academy is Now Open*

🐕‍🦺 Train your your service dog from start to end!

🐾 We wanted to share our step-by-step system for training a service dog.

🐾 When we moved My Service Dog and Me online, owner-trainers asked us for a comprehensive roadmap. They needed a course that taught them not only what and how to train but also when to train each skill.

🐾 They wanted a complete course to ensure they didn’t miss anything throughout the entire process.

🐾 So, that’s exactly what we did. We created a framework that walks you through the entire process from beginning to end.
