With all dogs we have an end goal in mind. But it may take many moves to get to that end goal. Dog training is not about instant gratification, although occassionally change happens quick and its a win for everyone. Sometimes, tried and tested strategies don't work with all dogs. Then we must change our strategy based on the dog's responses. It helps to have a lot of strategies in mind. Chess and dog training long-term "games". Dogs and humans evolve over months and years. Trainers keep this in mind, you are not a failure because "x" strategy didn't work. But it is a failure if you keep trying "x" strategy with that dog. The dog gave you an opportunity to grow: feedback that something else is needed and now you can try something else. Dog companions; (our clients) keep in mind that dog training is not a hard and fast science. Dogs and their humans are constantly different from each other and from day to day. If your dog's behaviors are well ingrained or severe, it may take several strategies put together to see what works for you and your dog. Chess and Dog Training take discipline, flexibility, and time to master.

Fallon the toy Aussiedoodle. This little wildling has been a bigger challenge than I expected. I am happy to see her making some progress now. She is coming to me when I call her name and will lie down calmly when we chill on the porch. We still have some work to do but I finally feel like we are getting there.

Remi the heeler came along with me to a training session at TSC. We were meeting Sarah Jane, one of my private lesson dogs who gets excited about greeting folks in public. Remi was perfectly well-behaved until we encountered the other dog. She had a pretty violent reaction to the other dog. I haven't seen her do that with the dogs here at the kennel, but I am really glad she showed me since her family has experienced this. It was perfect because we could remediate the behavior and Sarah Jane (the other dog) did beautifully as a helper. So both dogs had a lot of success on our field trip today!

Chillin'
It's important to me for dogs to be able to find and appreciate relaxation. We get a calmer dog who can go places and be able to sit quietly without a fuss. No commands, just quiet relaxation.

Having some fun on a chilly morning

I always tell clients that when you are walking on the long line and the dog offers to walk next to you on loose leash, talk him up and tell him you like it. This is what that looks like. The more we praise a behavior, the more the dog will offer it. At first Charlie is sniffing the ground and not really engaging with me. I don't fuss or correct, just gently guide him. But when he gets where I want him and is checking in with me, I start really talking him up and letting him know I like it.

Remi's family has been concerned about her interactions with other dogs at their home and lake house. She is staying here for a board & train to help her learn to feel more comfortable around other dogs. So far I have not seen any aggression from her at all, but this is neutral territory at the moment. As she begins to get comfortable here, she might begin to defend this turf also. I will teach her that she doesn't need to do that.

Tiny was here for board & train in January. He came to us a really bouncy guy, who didn't ever get still. His mom sent me this video of him being totally chill at a barrel race this week. Good Boy, Tiny! 🎉

Our brand new board & trains arrived Sunday. After some settling in time, I got everyone out for long line walks and we did some front porch sitting. These pups are all young and they are all off to a really good start.
