Week 2 of Zeus and Athena’s puppy BnT. Generalizing the foundations from the first week, building on play and starting to integrate them back together. Both dogs are very different and feed off of each others insecurities so making sure both were able to make consistently good choices and emotionally regulate was essential before adding them back together.

Rooster! Ruby did lessons with me a year and a half ago and this was of the first things we taught her and her mom. Ruby constantly jumped all over people in excitement and yelling “down” and “off” meant nothing to her. By teaching her a “paws up” command we were able to solidify for Ruby what “off” meant. After she got this down we generalized the “off” with different surfaces and only when she was showing us she understood the alternative behaviour did we layer in correction. When criteria is clear and rules are enforced a year can go by without formal training and it’s still all there 🩷

Off leash season is coming back! Why gamble with your dogs life when you can train reliable recall. Recall saves lives🩵🩵🩵

Willow! She is both a private lesson and walk & train client. Willow had very low confidence around new people and would bark/jump backwards when she felt unsure. She didn’t walk nicely on lead not because she was trying to pull but because she was so in her head. We decided to do walk & trains when I noticed how often she hides behind mom when scared. I want her to realize she can be brave without mom. Double leashed for safety, she is starting to learn the game and taking food from me hence why I am treating so heavily 🙈 Our last lesson with her mom we tackled Home Depot and she did better than either of us expected. From barking at anyone who got close or interacted with mom and being unable to focus in the park she goes to regularly, to playing with me, a new person in a new environment with people around while her mom is there. She will never be a dog that seeks out human interaction but she’s learning that we got her back and being scared is ok. it’s what you do after that matters 🩵

It’s overwhelming the amount of dogs in the system that are not, in my opinion, candidates for BE but also will require ALOT of hard work by a new owner. Getting a puppy client with owners that want to start their dog off right and do it correctly from the beginning is so much fun. Stop waiting for the dog to be too much and be proactive!

Day train Bruce🩷 Bruce is starting this week with our puppy foundations day train program. He will come hang out with my pack for the day a couple times a week while he learns that the crate is a cool place and that outside is where we go potty. As weeks progress he will learn things such as leash walking and recall foundations, safe interaction with other dogs, cooperative care for grooming/handling and lots more! He is still an infant so right now will just be focused on positive experiences around dogs and people from a safe distance and learning that the crate is the best place in the world!
