My behavior tip for today: When you are teaching an animal lessons in self control or anything else for that matter, it is so important to begin where your student is capable of learning. That means carefully introducing distractions only at a level where your learner can continue to focus and do the behavior you are looking for, and moving forward as your student can succeed. Short training sessions allows you both to focus on each other. #dogtips #dogtraining
Dog sniffing walks are decompressing walks that promote relaxation and engagement. There are so many benefits to incorporating these into your dog’s enrichment.
This is the story of one family, and how I taught them to use a success station as a management tool for creating safety between their toddler and their family dogs. In this case, their success stations was using dog gates when needed. It is one of numerous strategies we are putting into place to lower stress, increase quality of life, and strengthen relationships. In their example, I share why it is important to teach your dog a positive association with management.
