Stay & Train Lily has some pretty strong feelings about handling her feet and nails. We are working on that in separate cooperative care sessions but meanwhile, we need to do something about the TALONS😱! This video clip is her 4th lesson learning to file her own nails on a scratch board via marker training

Please welcome Imi to the MYP family! 💖

Imi is a super smart, super cute 6 month old Shepherd/Lab mix who is coming to see us for some private lessons to teach her leash walking skills, reduce her mouthing/jumping tendencies, and learn to ignore all the stuff outside that she wants to put in her mouth. Those are all really typical puppy behaviors that make our daily lives just a bit harder! Imi was only adopted about a month ago, so it was great thinking on her person’s part to get Imi started on the path to success so soon!

We are so excited to work with her and her person! 🥰 Isn’t she cute?!

Super Star Client pup, Rudy (14 week German Shepherd) settling under a table on Main Street in Newark - just watching and listening to the world 🐾♥️

This is one of the skills that we practice at Prodigy Pup School during our field trips.

It’s important for pups to learn early on that there is a time and a place for greetings. It’s also important for them to have experiences that allow them to observe and not necessarily interact. This type of exposure and socialization is one of the hallmarks of our Prodigy Pup School program 🐶🐾

If you have a puppy under 16 weeks old and you have hopes to share activities with them outside the home, this may be a great program for you and your puppy!

Registration is limited. We have 2 openings to begin the program this fall.

Acclimating to wearing a muzzle…

This is a clip of our exercise and enrichment coordinator, Rachel.
She is amazing with our dogs and I’m super proud of her work in this video clip of her working with Finley, one of our fearful prodigy pup school members.

Rachel has been with us since last fall. She is studying to be a groomer, but I keep telling her what a great trainer she is becoming.

The dog world is super fortunate that she is planning to make a career in our industry 🥰🥰🥰

I have the best team. I absolutely could not do this without them ♥️

Wow! This family was super fortunate this didn’t end worse.

Lots of things to consider - I always crate my young dogs if I’m not home…they are like toddlers and they just don’t know any better. They look for things to do…like this!

Regardless of your stance on crating, we should also be sure to keep those chargers unplugged and put away. Scary!!

This was so hard for her!

My new dog Kit LOVES to play Jolly Ball Fetch. It’s a very big reinforcer for her- even more so than high value food items.

So I’m beginning to put some rules around our ball games for a few reasons:

1) Fetch doesn’t require much thought and I want her to be thoughtful. Using her brain will bring her more relaxed satisfaction afterwards than just running back and forth in a frenzy.

2) Since this game is so super reinforcing for her, I would like to be able to use it in order to reinforce her for other behaviors that I want.

In order to use this ball as a reinforcer, I must be able to control the game.

Here I’ve asked for a very simple behavior that she already knows well. “Touch!” is a behavior that I first taught her with food and it just means to target my open palm with her nose and she earns a treat for it.

In this case, she must take her laser focus off of the ball for long enough to bop my hand with her nose and that’s what makes the game begin!

It seems so simple, but it is a really tough skill for a dog that loves playing ball (just throw!!). It requires her to shift her focus and be thoughtful instead of just staring and waiting for that ball to move/release from my hands.

I can, and probably will, put even more rules around this game and require her to to do other behaviors before I release her to go after it.

What’s cool about training this way is that it also really strengthens the behaviors that I’m trying to teach her (which aren’t naturally exciting or fun for her otherwise) because she gets super excited to do them fast and joyfully because she has ball thoughts!

Even though she is super driven to work for toy reinforcers, I like my dogs to have both food and toy reinforcers in their training bag. Food can promote a calmer feeling for calm behaviors, and for other behaviors you may want more energy in the ex*****on, the way that toys can bring!

Really enjoying the “getting to know you” part of the journey with this girlie 🐾💖

OMG unbelievable

Rudy (a 12 week German Shepherd) is staying with us for some social exposure and basic training/life skills for the next couple weeks. (By the way I adore him and quite enjoy spending time with him 😍)

My dogs have been super fair with him, and 6yo Ben especially so. I turned on the camera a bit late, but Ben drew the line at Rudy herding him - which I was glad to see because that behavior can land Rudy in a fight if he’s still doing that to others when he’s older and bigger. Oh and then he decided to bonk Kassie while she was trying to potty so he’s on her 💩 list too 🤣🐾

Please welcome our newest Stay & Train AND Puppy Camp Member - this is Rudy 😍

Rudy is a 12 week old German Shepherd and his family is super smart to get a head start on appropriate social experiences and basic foundation skills!

Rudy is fitting in very well here with my border collies so far and we’re working hard on setting Rudy and his family up for success 🙌💖

July marks the one year anniversary of Puppy Camp (MYP Prodigy Pup School) and I have no regrets!🥰🐾

We were gifted with beautiful weather today and we introduced lots of new friends!

The socialization opportunities have been wonderful for some of our adult dogs as well the pups.

The beginning of this video is my Ben, who has been pretty dog reactive most of his life, but he has relaxed so much just by being around my work and because I’ve never allowed unknown dogs to approach him. He’s been choosing to!! And he has amazing signals and such lovely appropriate behavior with puppies, like he does with this 12 week old German Shepherd (Rudy) and the 14 week old Golden Retriever (Ivy).

Also shown is one of our newest camp members, Lady Lemon (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), and also our long time member Reese (miniature poodle).

We took a ton of video today because everything was so cute and everything seemed so worth capturing… However, editing it and getting it uploaded as a whole separate project! We will do our best to share more of the cuteness and great body language over the next couple of 🐾💖
