You'll often hear your trainer telling you to set your dog up for success! It's a crucial part of the process to help ensure their learning and comfort.

I also think it's very important that your trainer be setting you up success as well! 💚

When you sign up for a package of private lessons with Live Life Ruff Dog Training you receive this little welcome bag. It includes a Max & Neo leash sleeve to help you communicate to other people while out and about, a treat pouch for all the goodies to reinforce your dog for learning and a notebook to help you keep track of how sessions are going or anything notable about your dogs day that you don't want to forget to tell your trainer about.

When working with Live Life Ruff I want you to feel like we're all on the same team working towards the same goal, a happy and healthy dog!

Let's start making progress today!

Wyatt and I are starting to put together a Freestyle routine! That's 'dancing' with your dog to a song!

We practiced chaining a couple behaviors in the backyard. I totally forgot a couple of the steps we had already established and Wyatt got distracted by a butterfly but it's still fun!

He's really already doing SO WELL with the behavior chains and I can't wait for us to have it all put together.

Stay tuned for our progress!

Think the best thoughts for and about your dogs. Don’t make the mistake of labelling them by what they are not, help them become what they are capable of. ❤️🐶

This is so important to remember and keep in mind while training.

It's hard for me to remember with my own dog and even with my clients!

It can be exhausting working through a behavior struggle with your pup. When working on anything in our lives, progress is not linear! Why should working with our dogs be any different? It's not! Changing behavior is huge and takes time. That amount of time is going to be different for everyone.

Our dogs are full of emotions and experiences that rule how they react or engage in any given situation. Throughout training you're trying to change or shift those emotions to get a reaction you would rather see, that's asking a lot of our pups. It's totally doable, it just takes time and practice.

We have good days, bad days, ups and downs. You're going to be up against new things and all sorts of things you can't anticipate.

Throughout the journey though, you're going to learn and bond with your dog like never before! It's going to be so much fun and full of lots of pride in what you're doing.

Progress is not linear! Focus on the small wins when they happen and never stop having fun with your dog.

Looking for ways to beat the heat!? ☀️🔥

Dogs can eat most fruits, they're easy to mash up and freeze! It's a nice cool treat for them to enjoy and hopefully make up for missing that afternoon walk.

💚 watermelon and add fresh mint and some water 🍉🌱

💛 banana and honey. I also added some meal topper into this one as well! 🍌🍯

Or even pick them up a special bone they haven't had in awhile as a nice treat!

Every pup has their own tastes, have fun letting them try different things. You can keep it simple and easy for yourself!

Wyatt couldn't help but to start digging into the watermelon!
