Ideal Companion Dog Training LLC

Dogs don't get offleash privileges until they're reliable on leash. If they don't listen the first time 90%+ of the time, especially for recall, they aren't ready for the leash to come off. #gsp #dogtraining #offleashdogs

Working on recalls early on while Ecollar conditioning AND trying to record it is hard. I'm juggling the leash, remote, treats and attempting to keep him in the frame 🤣 Do you have a dog who needs a little (or alot) training? We can help them become your Ideal Companion!

Both Elijah and Huck have issues with vacuums/brooms so there will be lots of vacuuming and sweeping. Here's a short clip of Elijah doing very well. Every time you're around your dog, it's a training session, whether you're aware or not. They are learning something. Make sure they are learning what YOU want.

Here's a cute video of Gremlin learning to do a chin rest trick on each paw. This is her first session and she did very well. She has a great love of food so it makes training easier and more fun!

I always forget to record private lesson pups so here is Bourbon! This is our 3rd lesson, but 1st lesson teaching a heel. We are working on obedience and getting him quiet and calm in a crate. His favorite past time is barking in and breaking out of wire crates. We upgraded to a heavy duty crate 😈 He is progressing very well! Do you have a dog who needs a little (or alot) training?

Tucker went to the farmers market! He was a little uncomfortable with so much going on, but he did great walking past a bunch of people and dogs 🥰 He has come so far. He started out barking and pulling towards people and ESPECIALLY dogs (pulled his owner down) to being in a crowded place and casually passing dogs.

I'm trying to figure out how I can attach my gopro so I can record while walking around. This angle isn't the best, but I don't really want to get a chest or head harness 🤣 But here is a short clip of what Tucker is up to. He already knew we were approaching dogs. The second that you see his behavior change is when he sees them charge the fence. Then you see his head snap back to me for his toy. Reactivity training is a slow process, but we are getting there!

Check this out! Dottie is blowing her coat and it's coming out in tuffs of fur. I know this can be uncomfortable so I decided to try brushing her. I used my puppy brush and a dematting brush to get the under coat out. At first, her skin was a little twitchy when i brushed, but she started to relax. Before I started recording she was falling asleep. Towards the end of the video you can see her eyes get heavy 🤣 Do you have a dog who needs a little (or alot) training?

Feral gal update! Dottie is showing some play behavior with Medusa in my presence. She would only do this at the rescue when there were no humans around so that's huge progress. She is also starting to check out the house. She was just going to a corner and laying there for hours. Now she will come watch me from a distance and wonder around.

Here's some more progress with Dottie, the feral pup. She's taking some really tasty treats from hand. She's getting used to the routine. Still no accidents in the house or crate. She will whine in the crate when she needs to go. Do you have a dog who needs a little (or alot) training? We can help them become your Ideal Companion!

Would ya just look at it!? HUGE progress! I decided to have the pack out so Dottie feels more confident. She worked up the courage to come over and join us. She has been slowly walking on leash for me to take her out to potty so also making progress there! She ate and drank last night. Plus, she hasn't peed in her crate. All exciting stuff!

We have some progress! Fearful dogs usually won't eat for a few days. Dottie has taken some treats. Not out of my hand, but placed in front of her. She isn't leash trained and will panic with tension so I pick her up to move her if needed. I do that to take her potty as well. She isn't a fan of it, but we have to do it to get things done. She did approach me for the first time 👏 I ignored her and let her sniff. Do you have a dog who needs a little (or alot) training? We can help them become your Ideal Companion!

One of the reasons I have cameras is to save videos of interactions to share them. Vader is a pretty rude dog when it comes to interacting with humans and dogs. He does what he wants. Kind of like that annoying sibling who always bothers you 🤣 He ignores warnings and even after me getting onto him time and time again, he hasn't learned. Before I go further, I trust both Ozzy and Medusa to issue far corrections to dogs. I'm still very careful about which dogs I allow them to correct for learning purposes, because some dogs may retaliate. Vader is a big baby. I'm fine letting them correct him so he can learn proper social skills. He takes corrections well, but it takes him awhile to actually retain the knowledge 🤣 On to the video, Vader does this often. When the dogs are resting he goes up to interact. They don't want it, but he clearly ignores the small signs prior to the correction. You can see as soon as Medusa realizes he is coming to her she lifts a lip to show him she isn't interested. He continues, ignoring it. She gives very light growls and then puts a paw up. He keeps doing what he's doing so she escalates to a loud bark towards him. This finally causes him to back off. Sometimes, letting dogs teach dogs is the best way for them to learn.

I set up my phone so I could record the absolute FIGHT it was to get Vader into the car. He's a big boy, weighs over half my weight. He knows how to use that weight to his advantage. It would take 5+ minutes to get him in and that was usually when I got tired of trying so I just picked him up 🤣 He surprised me by happily letting me lift him in! It'll be much easier on my body now 👏👏 Do you have a dog who needs a little (or alot) training? We can help them become your Ideal Companion!

He does everything so slowly that it's going to take him longer to progress 🤣🤣 sometimes we wait a good 30 seconds for him to eat a treat ☠ Do you have a dog who needs a little (or alot) training?
