Good morning and happy tongue out Tuesday 🐶
Every now and then I have to remind them why it’s important for them to listen to me and why I pick and choose when it’s OK for them to be off leash. My verbal commands and guidance is to keep them safe and out of trouble. Having rules boundaries and limitations will give them more freedom in the urban environment if they can just follow my verbal commands. 
Happy tongue out Tuesday

Tongue out Tuesday
Happy Friday from Appa
Happy Monday my good people, have a fantastic day 🫶🏾
Some of y’all may think these puppies are being punished because they’re in a crate but that’s not the case. All of my dogs are crate trained. They don’t live their lives in a crate, but they are comfortable for the most part going inside of one. For those that don’t know, The crate is your dogs second home it’s a place where they can go when they need to escape. Look at the crate as their den and not a detention center if that’s what you are using it for then you are creating a negative space for the dog . 
Happy tongue out Tuesday 🐶

My boy Malx did real good. He stayed by my side for the most part, and I didn’t even have to really hold his leash.

Stepping out the whelping pin for the very first time. So now during the day, they will be placed in a larger area somewhere around the house and sleep in this whelping pin at night. They’re at 6wks now and already going through training lol… not sure how long I will have them but stay tuned 🙂
The walks last longer when you have obedient dogs 🐕 2nd start dog training
Three-way place work with Kyoshi. Eclipse is her distraction for this exercise. Eclipse has one job to do which is to maintain the down position while Kyoshi works. The goal set in place for Kyoshi is to hit all three markers without trying to engage with Eclipse. 2nd Start Dog Training 🐕
I haven’t been able to work Kyoshi the way I want to but she stays on point and ready to work. Kyoshi is no different from the rest of my pack. When it’s her time to shine, she takes full advantage of her one on one sessions. Friendly with all dogs big or small but she don’t take no mess from her litter mates. When Kyoshi is not training, she’s playing and when she’s not playing she’s most likely studying her human while relaxing on the couch.
Training with your dog in the beginning, it is what it is, take what you can get and come back to it later to finish up what you started. What you don’t want to do is shut your dog down during training. In the beginning your goal is to keep your dog engaged in the exercise and feeling good about what he or she is doing at that moment in time with you. No matter how far along a dog is in training I always start our day with the basics ( continuous reinforcement). Also this is how I like to warm up with my dogs before we get into the more challenging stuff. The warm up session will also give me an idea on how focused and motivated Fido is to work. Both of these dogs understand the assignment but my assistant does not. He is a dog lover but not to dog savvy. This video is a good example to showcase that it is not always the dog that needs the help. The human must also understand what it is that they’re asking the dog to do and why. Humans must also understand how to manipulate the behavior they want from their dog when verbal communication is not working. When it comes to communicating with your dog, it’s not all verbal. Communicating with fur baby comes in many forms such as leash pressure, body pressure and sometimes physical touch just the name a few. If your dog is having a hard time understanding you verbally, it’s time to cut off the communication and take a more simpler approach (treat luring). I don’t like to put a name to a behavior until I know that the dog understands the criteria. Again, everything starts with basic obedience if the dog or human doesn’t understand that then there’s no need to move forward in training, stick to the basics until you are both successful. 
Make sure that you are clearly communicating with your dog. If you have to repeat a command over and over again, most likely, the dog is distracted or he doesn’t understand what you want. 
If you own multiple dog’s it will come with some challenges. Training and learning how to communicate with your fur babies will help reduce a lot of unwanted behaviors. Knowing your dog’s triggers will also help you manage your dog’s unwanted behaviors. No matter how good you think your dog is, at the end of the day they’re still animals. Dogs, just like humans have good days and bad days, disagreements are a part of life. The process of dog training is different for each dog in your life, you can’t compare one dog to the next. I love all my dog’s and even the ones I work with all the same but I deal with each one of them based off their personality 🐕
In between each cone, there is food on the ground and on top of the cones, there are tennis balls. I set it up this way to add in some distractions. As you can see at this point, I am competing with the food. He’s sharing his eye contact with me and the food, but the food is winning. My goal is to up my value with him to the point that the food doesn’t matter. I want him to understand that his engagement with me pays out more than the little kibble he sees before him on the ground.
Before I take any dog on a long walk, I need that dog to understand a few things before the walk. like… No pulling on leash, walk with me or slightly behind me. For dogs that I allow to walk slightly in front of me, they can’t be reactive to other dogs on leash. They have to check in on a regular with eye contact. If I give a verbal command that dog must respond immediately. Regardless of the dogs position on the walk, when I stop the dog stops. It doesn’t matter how many times a day I walk my dog, each walk is different and is catered to making the dog better.
This is one way I like to keep my fur babies busy or in other words give them something to do especially on hot days. This one was a quick fix. It was just water, bananas, and butternut squash you can do your however you like 🙂
