I just love getting reports of my clients success. New Frenchie to the program. Very reactive and aggressive to strangers is on his way to becoming the dog they always wanted instead of every walk being high stress and embarrassing in 4 sessions.. It's because the owner is truly practicing and following a few simple rules is why the improvement is so strong. So proud and happy for this fantastic young couple. #frenchiesofinstagram #frenchie #vancouver #dogs #vancouverdogs #trainingdogs #testimony #dailydogfeature #proud #inspire #doglovers #frenchielovers #dogtrainer #dogbehavior #dogsofinstagram #petsofinstagram #dogboarding #customizedprograms #results

So thrilled with Lokies Massive improvement with reactive behavior. He was explosive and one stressed out dog. On our first session he was so aggressive and loud on the streets the police arrived to see if we were ok. Loki's is taking longer than most but on week 3 my heart is full of joy at what we have accomplished. #doodlesofinstagram #vancouver #vancouverdogs #petsofinstagram #doodles #doodlelovers #dogvideos #dogboarding #boardandtraining #dogtrainers #dgs #dogsofinstagram #trust #trainingdogs #kindness #patience #love #passion #fortheloveofdogs #allbreeds #reactivedogs #doodledog #dailydog

Loki has gone from panicking and scared to absolutely loving life in 2 weeks. So excited about this boys change. #dogboarding #trainer #trainingdogs #reactivedogs #doodlesofinstagram #doodles #fear #pets #dogvideos #petvideos #dailydogfeature #results #vancouver #dogs #goldendoodle #bernadoodle #doodling #dogbehavior

A Little example of Loki and look at that dog. Totally relaxed as I come through the door gets up and is ready to greet me as a normal minded dog would all in 10 days of full board and training. No extreme stress behaviour and has truly bonded with me . He was what we call very spooky. Extreme change from normal to fear as people explain to me it's like my dog just switched and they are correct. I'm posting Loki not just to show you what a proper program can do. Loki has the same story of many other owners I see especially in the last 10 yrs but so many trainers and owners admitting or have no clue on how to truly help not only a genetic behaviour problem but then add a confusing training program to the mix creates a huge problem. Loki's story is too long for one post I will complete in a series of posts. #reactivedogs #doodlesofinstagram #vamcouver #vancouverdogs #dogs #dogtrainers #petservices #dogsofinstagram #dogbehavior #explore #beleive #trust #doodleworld #doodlelovers #anxiety

This was Loki before training with Positive Behaviour. The poor owner has gone through hell. No one could be kinder or more dedicated to helping change her 2 out of control Doodles both from the same breeder Both had severe reactivety but in very different ways. When I first met these 2 dogs at their homes I saw Loki run to his huge bed and seriously start mounting and sucking the bed because he couldn't even handle someone walking into his house. The other Doodle was more inclined to do things like get on the couch and growl at you. Both didn't have any natural skills to just greet. As much as I was appalled at seeing Loki being allowed this type of behavior I absolutely knew it was not the owners fault. There is so much of this crap on instagram these days of so called professional trainers influencing people to think that a dog that has trouble mentally of handling excitement needs something to hump or even medication instead the dog learning to handle excitement is a positive thing Shocks me.. Life is full of challenges for dogs and people so we all need to be taught how to deal with it not act out and become unbalanced and reactive. You certainly can't bring a bed to mount while you're walking so no wonder your dog has leash reactivity. He has nothing to mount except you which I see often the dog turns to mounting the owner and lunging at dogs passing. People must first create a strong foundation on your basics of respect and simple gentle boundaries to a puppy not just ignore unwanted behaviour and non stop cookies if they are good is more often unclear to a dog and your losing the challenge and accomplishment bonding period that is crucial to future success with your dog. Loki is honestly a mess. And the poor owner has tried 3 weeks of training from what she was told was an excellent program, on line training and tried positive reinforcement training as well. The story on this dog and reasons why so many Doodles in particular are or ending up t

To think how incredibly reactive and not wanting to be apart of my pack Cloey was and to see this girl truly have the best time and be So Goofy and fun just goes to show you. A structured training program using mental stimulation and natural live and motivation combined with lots of off leash fun creates a more confident and balanced happy dog, not this silly new rumor that having strict rules breaks their spirits. You have boundaries simply so you are clear in your expectations.. Another myth is saying no is punishment which is ridiculous. You train the word No as a command to be respected not feared in simple exercises. It simply and clearly tells the dog not to do what they are doing . My dogs happily stop what they are doing and follow my direction on how to do better. Cloey has amazing manners everywhere we go and I'm so proud of her and her goofy self. #doodlesofinstagram #dogs #pets #doodlelovers #dogsofinstagram #doodleworld #vancouver #dogboarding #dailydog

Reactive aggressive French bulldog after 1 lesson. #frenchies #frenchbulldogclub #dogtrainers #dogsofinstagram #vamcouverdogs #frenchiesofinstagram #frenchbulldog

This is a text from my new French bulldog clients. The dog was seriously reactive on leash and aggressive in many other areas. She went from almost biting me from putting the leash on to walking like a dream even when walking behind dogs she use to attack all in one lesson. Of course she needs more training to have this behaviour stick but because the owner followed my leash and training rules exactly not just somewhat she experienced something she could not be possible. Leash walk to be proud of Not fear. #frenchie #frenchbulldog #reactivedogs #dogsofinstagram #pets #petservices #dogvideos #videos #dogs #frenchiesofinstagram #dogtrainers #dogbehavior #dogboarding #vancouver #vamcouverdogs #results #dailydog #dogloversofinstagram #balance

Love knowing how happy my clients are is everything to me. Helping dogs with anxiety is something close to my heart as I had a dog as a child go through this and it was because of human errors. I was young and my dog was a champion obedience dog still with behaviour issues. I was determined to create a program that helped dogs mentally not just tricks and commands. And that's #what positive Behaviour is. Yrs of dedication to bettering the dogs behavior not just obedience. More confident and happier dogs that enjoy life to the fullest because they are so well mannered. #anxiety #doodles #privatetrainer #dogboarding #fullboardandtraining #dogs #dogtrainer #dogbehavior #vamcouverdogs #dogschool #doggydaycare #doodlelove #allbreeds
