We’re constantly working on Ivy’s release command using different toys and rewards.

The goal is to teach her that even when something is highly valuable to her, the release command takes priority every time. This is a huge real-life skill, whether she grabs something dangerous, something she shouldn’t have, or something she really doesn’t want to give up.

How strong is your dogs “drop it” command, comment down below 💅

What are we busy with?

Teaching our dogs how to handle things they don’t like.

Staff dog Gambit is not a fan of the vacuum. That doesn’t mean she gets to bark, chase, or bite at it (although she would certainly like to)

Our approach is to expose her to the vacuum in a controlled way, set clear boundaries, and reinforce the behaviour we want to see instead. We’re working on keeping her calm, maintaining focus, and teaching her that she doesn’t need to react every time the vacuum comes out.

The goal isn’t to make her enjoy the vacuum. It’s to teach her how to appropriately respond to something she finds uncomfortable or exciting.

This same approach can be applied to many everyday triggers, from household appliances to distractions on walks.

What does your dog react to that you’d like to work on? Let us know in the comments. 👇

If your dog struggles with reactions or impulse control, send us a message to learn more about our training programs.

Do I always have to use treats to reward my dog?

No!

Food is a great training tool, but it’s not the only way to reinforce a behaviour. The best reward is often whatever your individual dog finds motivating.

For some dogs, tug can be an incredibly valuable reward (like for Kraken, Misty and Carl here). If your dog loves to chase, grab, bite, or engage with toys, we can use that natural drive to reinforce behaviours we want to see.

Try incorporating short games of tug into your training sessions or using them as a reward during walks. This can help build engagement, provide an appropriate outlet for energy, and teach your dog that listening to you leads to things they enjoy.

The key is to find what your dog values most and use it strategically in training.

Does your dog work harder for food or a good game of tug? Let us know below! 👇

We had to have a little photoshoot with Bailey and the adorable bow Mom put on her just for us to see. 🎀 We couldn’t keep this cuteness to ourselves, so of course we had to share it with the rest of you!
