Let's talk about recall. Getting your pup to come when called is one of the most important skills you can teach them. It could potentially save their lives! Creating a positive association to the word "come" is essential to recall success.
Let's break down the video a bit.
1. Notice I keep my voice light and calm. Every time I call him, the cadence stays the same.
2. I praise him immediately when he arrives.
3. I ASK FOR NOTHING when he does arrive. No asking for a sit, no making him go back inside, NOTHING. If you consistently ask your dog to do something when they arrive after being called, it can create a negative association to the word "come.""
4. After I praised him for showing up, I free him to go back to what he was doing.
Never call your dog with strong emotions. Keep it light and fun! And if they're still learning, use a long line like I do in the video.

This is Dobby. He is a super smart, juicy boy! We refer to dogs with tons of excess energy as juicy. He was in desperate need of a structured outlet for his juiciness. The treadmill is going to help his humans to drain energy and continue on doing the great work they have been doing with his hand signals, walking, drop and boundary event as well as his jumping and bitey puppy like shenanigans. Lots to work on here, first drain the brain and you open up the possibilities to train. deafdog #pittielove #handsomeboy #traindeafdogs #dogtraining #dogpsychology #oakvalley #mantuanj #mantuadogtraining #dobby #juicy
Maddie took to the bike really well! Sometimes, the walk gets boring for you, sometimes a walk is just not enough for a dog. Maddie is super smart and energetic. She and Ronnie bonded quickly during day training. Biking your dog can be great fun, but a few things to remember, your dog must be over the age of 10 months to start bike training, make sure you are comfortable riding your bike without a dog and take time and patience to help your dog feel safe walking beside the bike, braking and turning before starting the trot. Happy Biking! #biking #dogbiker #dogtraining #daytraining #mantuanj #dogsofmantua #loveyourdog #dogsofinstagram
Does this look like your dog? Can this behavior be changed? Yes! It still amazes me how quickly a dog can learn to offer calm behaviors to get exactly what they want. Unfortunately many pups offer us excited and controlling behaviors resulting in us doing what they want just to make the behavior stop. With patience, understand of how to motivate a dog, structured exercise, and believing in your dog and yourself, everything is possible. #dogtraining #dogbehavior #juicy #boxer #mantuanj #mantua #dogsofinstagram #trainyourdog #liveazenlife #calm #patience #consistency #believe #loveyourdog
I know humans have a negative stigma when it comes to muzzled animals, but it's safety. Not only does it protect humans from a potential bite, but it also protects dogs from making poor decisions. Properly muzzle training a dog can be a life saver. The dogs' behaviors can longer work, and we can take that power away to confidently communicate with them. Dogs can have muzzles for non biting reasons as well. Dogs who ingest random objects out on walks may be muzzle trained to make sure they don't eat something harmful. Muzzles are an amazing tool tool.

This may not look like a lot, but we've been working on down for over a week now. Baby Taz was so nervous that laying down was impossible for him at the studio. With patience and lots of structured exercise, we're finally getting him to trust that it's OK to relax and rest. He is also accomplishing this with 4 other dogs in the room that are off camera! Super proud of this boy! My absolute favorite part of training dogs is when the light bulb finally goes off in their adorable heads!

Doing our best to stay cool! This heat waves been ruff 😉. Keeping it short and sweet when we get to work outside!! Remember, guys, the closer to the ground, the warmer it gets. 80° can be 110° on the street for your pup! Stay safe! Sit in the AC and hydrate!!

Sebastian has been spending time with us for our day training program. This is why you've seen him frequently! One of Sebastians' struggles was being touched and checked for wounds, nails, or ticks. So, for the 3 weeks he's spent with me every day multiple times a day, we worked on safe touch. When I first met Sebastian, he'd get bitey when you'd check his body or touch his paws. Working him through trust exercises and draining excess energy, he's become much more relaxed with me touching and checking him. People don't realize that proper exercise for your dog helps you fix EVERYTHING! in the video above, you can see me making a bit of a game out of touching him. I keep it brief, and I make it fun.
