What an awesome group of dog Super Heroes! It was such great fun teaching them at my May class and I am so proud of them for their focus and eagerness to learn. Thanks to the parents for taking time out of your day to bring your kids – and learning too! And of course, thank you to my demo dog Baxter and his owner, Karen Spradlin, and my friends at The Dog Studio for welcoming all of us!
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.
