Leo's Field Trip for Flowers

Today, it was Leo's turn to go on a field trip. Leo has been working hard on his enthusiasm around new people and in new places. A lot of his enthusiasm comes in the form of frenzied behavior and is nervous energy. That means that the goal isn't to suppress jumping, leash pulling, and all his energy. But the goal is to give him appropriate outlets that help him meet his needs, give him coping strategies, and build his confidence. We have been focusing on quieter parks prior to today's session but thought we would try nudging him a bit out of his comfort zone today and visited Aubuchon with a flexible goal of helping him pick out some flowers for mom💕 He did it! 🥳🥳 Give it a watch! 💕 Laura Gendron and Leo #dogtutoring #fieldtrip #lablover #buildingresilience #dogsdayout #learnsomethingnew #patterngames #familydogmediator

Imagine the future version of your dog being acclimated to all kinds of different sounds in the environment. This is where you start 💕 When your pup is happily occupied through play, chewing or licking, go ahead and turn some sound effects on repeat. If your pup alerts to it, it's too loud. The goal is for it to go unnoticed, as you slowly increase the volume over time. This is the process of acclimation. 🐾 #puppylife #puppytips #trainingtips #dogbehavior #familydogmediator #fdm

Puppies love to put their brakes on. How about a little reverse psychology for that? #puppylife #traininghack #reversepsychology #fdm #familydogmediator #rileypup @ptorey

Jack is rocking his Tutoring Program 💕 We took a break from working in his neighborhood for a few sessions, in order to teach him some new skills away from his most triggering space. I think it helped. What do you think? #dogtutoring #reactivedog #guardian #terrier #patterdaleterrier #familydogmediation

Have you ever heard this? 🐾 Your dog did FINE! He was FINE during his appointment today. I'm feeling FINE. FINE is the most misunderstood 4 Letter F Word 😬 In this video, you'll learn the difference between when a dog is actually FINE and when their behavior is being misunderstood. 🔍 Watch this video shedding light on learned helplessness in dogs and why it's crucial not to overlook subtle signs. Let's break the stigma around "FINE" and ensure our pups receive the support and understanding they truly need. #familydogmediation #familydog #fdm #dogbodylanguage #fearindogs #learnedhelplessness

It's not just how they're raised or their genetics. This video is a great example of how different 2 puppies from the same litter can be. #familydog #familydog #FDM #puppylove #goldenpuppy #goldenretriever #naturenurture #dogpro @missbehaviortraining

Ever wonder why your beloved Lab seems to never want to grow up? 🤔 Dive into the intriguing concept of neoteny, often referred to as the Peter Pan Complex, as I explore why your 3-year-old furry friend just can't seem to shake off their puppy-like behaviors! 🐶💫 Discover how evolution has handpicked these endearing traits, keeping them forever young at heart and endlessly craving your attention.

Impulsive, Enthusiastic, Optimistic, Mouthy, Intelligent, Forever Young... These are just a few traits of the stereotypical Hunting Dog🐕 👉 If you have a Retriever, Pointer, Spaniel, Setter, Weimaraner, Viszla, Poodle, or another breed with an original purpose of distracting, retrieving, or locating game (without harming them), then listen up! Let's chat about your dog's genes, common traits, and how to best meet their needs. This information is based on the Family Dog Mediation L.E.G.S.© model and as such, it's important to recognize that genetics are only one of your dog's 4 LEGS. Every dog is an individual so while your dog may not fit these stereotypical traits perfectly, I'm willing to bet they'll be pretty darn close! 👉 Interested in learning even more about how you can work WITH your dog's genetics and meet their needs? Ask me how I can help! 💕 Laura Gendron #retrievers #pointerdog #setterdog #spaniellove #familydogmediation

Are you on Team Fix-'Em or Team Leave-'Em-Alone?

Do you sometimes struggle to like your dog, to find the positives? 🙄 Feeling emotionally and physically drained? Wondering why you thought getting a new dog was a good idea or if you'll ever see the light at the end of the tunnel? That's okay! It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you or that there is anything wrong with your dog. It means that the relationship desperately needs repair. Watch this video to learn what's going on in your relationship and know that you are not alone. 💕 Be sure to share with a friend who might need to hear this. Often, it's the ones raising adolescent dogs (or kids!) #fdm #familydogmediation #dogparenting #familydog #adolescentdog #dogbehavior #support #reactivedog
