Lulu was very happy to enjoy all the sniffs in a new yard when she had her sleepover with Paws On! Little girl is a wiggly ball of energy and fur but settled very well and slept great for her first night in a new place😴

Oh sweet boy Butter 🧈 his foster mama wanted to put some more hours of training into him with new people and this boy has been exceeding expectations left and right! Butter’s has been returned from a couple possible adoptive homes but his foster mama is dedicated to give this boy the best life while he waits for his forever home. He has very good leash manners we are just working on the start of our walks where we get a bit excited and pulls. We are building confidence with new people and spaces and overall just enriching and fulfilling Butter and his needs. If you are interested in adopting Butter feel free to private message us and we would be happy to connect you with his foster mama 🧈

Working some impulse control into our game of fetch. Nova loves her ball but can have neurotic tendencies when playing fetch. We structure our fetch to avoid increased arousal/anxiety to have obedience mixed in. We work her brain more than we work her body. She gets tired way faster and is in a better head space when we are done 😌

People watching with Fenny at the park!
I don’t try to redirect his attention from his trigger (a lady walking towards us) I wait and then reward once he engages back with me. I want Fenny to look at things that are making him uncomfortable and I allow him space to process/watch and reward ultimately what I want from him which is to check back in with me! Good job Fenny!
*Note we are a great enough distance from the trigger to allow this process to happen*

Sophie is one amazing pup with great drive! We are teaching Sophie how to properly use that drive into something good like her handler engagement and not running off to chase bugs 🐛

*Sped up for viewers enjoyment* practicing loose leash walker around distractions outside the dog park. Hunter gets easily overwhelmed when he sees other dogs and his loose leash manner usually go out the window. We were very proud of him being able to stay focused and unbothered by the dogs running around!

Vega wanted to get just about as close as she could to me for her pictures 😂 Vega’s obedience is really good but she can get a bit to excited when she sees another dog and sometimes forgets her manners. We working on Vega staying engaged with her mom when other dogs are around and “making good choices.”
For example checking in with her mom when she sees another dog approaching her 🐾

Handsome Fenny 💚 from the obvious lack of greenery in some of these photo you can tell we been working with this boy for a while. We have been working on some confident boosting with loud noises and people. As well with his reactivity towards fast moving objects. We have seriously seen such a difference in this boy on our Walk & Trains.

As we prep for a big hike tomorrow, Mr Nova (and his chicken entourage of course) would like to remind everyone who’s taking advantage of this weekends beautiful weather for hiking, to bring your dog first aid kits! ☀️ 🐕

Even if you’re going for a quick short hike that you’ve done thousands of times before , always pack for an emergency!
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it😉

We actually carry one first aid kit per dog when we go hiking! For daily life, we have one at home, and one in each vehicle so that if we take the dogs anywhere, we don’t have to worry about forgetting one! I’d rather be over prepared than under prepared when it comes to the health of my pups and in the instance something ever happens, you’ll be so so thankful you had one! 🙂

Winston and I on a fun outing to the pet store for his walk & train.
I did not ask much obedience from him maybe a sit or a down here and there. We mostly just walked around and sniffed and worked on remaining neutral in an exciting environment.
Note this outing was only about 10 minutes and we ended on a positive note!

Working on the “art of doing nothing” with fabulous Sophie! Being able to do nothing is something that proves to be immensely hard for most dogs, because it’s not something you’d think to teach!

It’s important to teach and practise this both at home and in busy environments (make sure you can get consistent perfection at home in a controlled, low stimuli environment before working this in a higher stimulation environment!) we often only take our dogs places when we are going to go on an adventure.

Try taking your pup to the park and just sit and observe instead of always being in the action! Or when you’re at home and your pooch is just relaxing and doing nothing, capture that and reward with a treat (keeping calm to keep them in that state). Don’t forget, your pup is ALWAYS learning! So when they do something you like or you’d like to see more often, capture that and reward that!

We would love to know where your favourite “do nothing spot is” comment below!

Working on implied stays around crate manners with Missy. Implied stays can be life changing and super convenient once your dog has them. This comes down to preference mostly do you want to always say the command to stay or do you want your dog to know that they wait for their release cue before leaving their kennel. Whichever you choose, make sure you’re consistent!

Mr. Grizz doing some decompression after our walk & train where we worked on OUTSIDE the dog park. Grizz can be dog reactive so it was no short feat for him to work with me and engage when there was so many dogs running around the dog park. However, we had been working with Grizz in low stimulation and controlled environments for quite awhile leading up to this. It it’s important to stay within threshold, every time your dog reacts, they practise that behaviour! It is important to remember to let your dogs decompress on their walks especially after working on reactive training. 🤯😌

Izzy is actually completely deaf and very weary of strangers. We are working on us coming into her space slowly and building Izzy’s confidence with engaging with us. We work on very easy commands and heavily reward any engagement we can get. Working with Izzy has been fun and a learning curve for us as to remember to use hand signals as my commentary is only for myself in this clip 😆

Introducing door manners to Daisy 🌼 how you leave your house for your walk sets the tone of how your entire walk is going to be. We want to calmly wait at the door and exit when released versus being dragged down the stairs and out your door.

*Sped up for viewers enjoyment* practicing loose leash manners as well handler engagement. Ace has a habit of forgetting about his walking partner and getting lost in his environment so we are working on him sitting while I stop and turning when I turn and overall paying more attention to where I am when we walk.

We love to see the excitement around Missy’s recall on her walk & train 💛

Working on position changes 🫧 This usually is an easy warm up exercise for Nova and Melissa but having neglected working these moves these past few weeks definitely showed😅 instead of ignoring the parts she was struggling with, we modified our session plan and went back to the basics until they were nice and clean. You will get what you put into training. Taking the time to put the pieces together will help you in the long run. Even when you really want to do the “cool” or “fun” stuff, the basics is where you will see your results🪴

Winston patiently waiting for his sisters to finish outside when we dropped in for their potty & play while his parents were on a day trip! 😆

Cedar is very engaged when he knows there is treats involved 😆 he did very good walking past some people playing sports.
