Have a young excitable dog? Get out there and train while the weather is decent! Fall is here and it’s only a matter of time before the weather becomes the excuse!

Choose a spot that gives you lots of space and ability to move. Then, just hang out. Pocket full of cookies, train when the dog is in the right headspace. And then just let them look. A few seconds at a time, then get moving to a new spot. Encourage sniffing and interaction with their environment. 10-15 minutes is plenty to start!

Happy training!

My “puppy” earned is Canadian Championship this weekend at 9 months old. He has just been a dream to raise and train and handled all the chaos of dog shows just fine. He’s a great example of how solid genetics, and a good upbringing those first 8 weeks really influence the dog they can become.

Congratulations little Spuddie!

Offer me something good and you might get what you want!

Some things are just expected, and around here eye contact is one of those things. As soon as I placed the food on the ground both Penelope and Bella knew what to do. Smartie pants!

Worked some distractions at rally class this week. It was a good time. I asked everyone in class to bring “something distracting” and it was real interesting seeing what everyone brought!

The dogs rocked the challenges! For some we started farther away and worked up to being close. But honestly I was so impressed with everyone’s focus. Well done guys!

I love that everyone has fun with my weird challenges and ideas. 😉

In dog sports we ask our dogs to a lot of things- generally with not only precision but also pizazz! It’s super important that we always consider our dogs mindset before we train (or trial!).

Is my dog engaged with me and the activity?
Is my dog mentally focused?
Is my dog excited about the activity?
Is my dog ready physically for the activity?
And finally, Does my dog even want to do the activity?

If the answer is no then you better take a minute and see if you can change that. And if the answer is still no then you better adjust your immediate training plan to accommodate that! (Decrease difficulty, break it down, eliminate the distraction, etc). Don’t ask the dog to work when you know they can’t. Not only is not fair, but you are teaching the dog that they can’t do it. And that’s a slippery slope.

Penelope and Ziggy are good examples of dogs who can do it! But need to be in the right frame of mind before we ask for hard things! Having a warm up routine and get ready for work cues are super important for dogs like this!
