Brian and Jelly love to pick raspberries together ❤🙌
What’s one activity your dog loves to do, that supports their L.E.G.S. and helps them live their best life?

The “Karl Hack”! Go Sage 🙌🤩#familydogmediation #leapsandhoundsbehavior
Team Archie - Basket Muzzle WIN!
TEAM ARCHIE has recently hit a milestone with basket muzzle training 🙌🤩 Archie’s now wearing it, strapped over his mouth, for short intervals while he gets all the affection and YUMMY liver spray ✅
Admittedly this is but a small glimpse of their progress! Alison understands and supports his L.E.G.S. as an adolescent herder who’s not quite sure ‘how he feels/what to do about’ strangers in close proximity spaces- inside the home. We are SOOO proud of Archie and Alison – the social communication and trust they’ve built with each other is a beautiful sight to see ❤️🙌

Play is a great barometer of a dog's emotional state <3 All about supporting their L.E.G.S.! We can't wait to meet Raul and his human again!!
Our pal Raul has been thriving!! So lovely to see him feeling safe and his inner SELF emerging, thanks to his human creating that space and opportunity for him. They make such an incredible team! 🥰🐕 #MrRogersHack #TreatandRetreat #emotionalsafety #rewardbased #leapsandhoundsbehavior

Excellent progress from week 5 of our Do as I Do class! It’s been so much fun working with Katrina Drake and Lindsay Kinney, they’re so talented and creative ❤️🙌 In this short clip, Katrina and Malus, her brilliant and lovely JRT, are adding a new ‘sit on a platform’ behavior to the game. We just love how Katrina supports his learning here!
We are so grateful for the opportunity to support and learn from each other, and troubleshoot on the fly! Side note: Apologies for the video orienting away from Malus and Katrina— technology! 🙃 Video of Lindsay and Mooch Ain't Misbehavin' coming soon!

This may not look like much but there’s SO MUCH going here for Luna! Our walks provide her plenty of opportunities to explore in nature and engage in natural behaviors. She couldn’t care less about most of the ‘typical’ rewards on walks, including chicken! But give her all the time to sniff and search the field for mole holes… WELL… that’s just HEAVEN ❤️

Yoda practicing more Do as I Do! With some key adjustments to support his L.E.G.S., we are back in the groove! We even threw in an entirely new ‘leg kick’ behavior at the end for him to copy. And his brain told his body to kick those front legs— fantastic effort buddy 🥰 🙌 HOO-AH!!!

Just a few ‘Do as I Do’ thoughts, from yours truly the “headless” trainer 🤣👏 We’ve added a couple prompts/cues which has been helping Yoda maintain focus and positioning for a bit longer. It gives him more information and prevents some of that frustration from creeping in. We’ll be incorporating this in our DAID curriculum moving forward!
HUGE shout out to the wonderful Lindsay Kinney for the inspiration here, as she was doing this with Mooch Ain't Misbehavin' in our last class.
My take-away this week: learning is a two way street, an open and interactive dialogue
