Double dog dare ya!

Two of my private lessons today were multiple dog homes which is always a good time! Two dogs is twice the energy, twice the personality and twice the training. 😉

A few hints and tips for those multidog homes:

- Separate training sessions at least half the time.
- Teach name release words
- Teach default obedience skills (really good ones!)
- Teach the dogs how to wait their turn (stays!)
- Calmness around exciting things- the door, leashes on, meal times.
- Watch for signs of bullying or guarding behavior.
- Have an interrupter word that means stop! (Hey! No! Etc.)
- Work on focus and obedience during walks
- If you are having trouble on walks go back to basics and do one dog at a time!
- Don’t wait for the dogs to fight before asking for help. Sometimes there’s no going back to peacefulness!

It’s a lot of work having multiple dogs- despite what the internet and your friend says. You have to make the time for individual training and then do the same training together. Two dogs feed on each others energy so things get hot and exciting really fast!

Happy training!

The field trip pups had a great morning working on manners, obedience, and confidence!

Socialising and exposure is really never done, and sometimes despite our good intentions our dogs need a little extra! As puppies most folks are pretty good about getting them out and about but it’s even more important past the puppy stage! 6-12 months is a big important window to keep those good experiences coming!

Simple things like people watching at the park, or visiting the pet store on a quiet morning, or walking in a new neighborhood.

Happy Training!

Facebook says it’s National Black Dog Day! And what better day to share a local fella looking for a good home! Handsome Tom has been looking for a home to call his own for some time now! He sounds like a perfect gentleman and has been doing amazing since his amputation! Please share to spread the word- his perfect match is out there somewhere!

Did you know that black dogs are often overlooked at shelters and Rescues? No one really knows why but if I had to guess I’d say that a black dog is sometimes hard to read at a glance. You have to take a second and appreciate their expression, their vibe. I’ve been lucky enough to have quite a few mostly black dogs in my lifetime and I find that dark face just brings their eyes to life even more. 🖤

Show us your black dogs! And tell us why it’s about more than just the color of their fur!

“Make it easy for the dog to be right.”
- things Amanda says.

Juna the little corgi has really been struggling with learning a stand stay for Rally. So much that she started to act a little worried when she was asked for the behavior- and we don’t want that! In all dog sports (and life) we want the dog responding with confidence and understanding- never worry.

So I changed the picture. Added some platforms for her and made it a LOT easier for her to be right. Marking that solid stand, rewarding while she’s in position, and building confidence all at the same time. This allows the dog to learn a lot faster!

Do we need to fade the props? Absolutely! But we aren’t there yet. I’ll make the platforms smaller and smaller but only when she shows confidence and understanding at each step!

Good job Juna!

This past weekend I was at a scent detection trial with my dogs and I was just so grateful to be there with them and play this silly game! Our teamwork was right on point and I went in trusting my dogs and myself. We came away having a good time, and some good success which is always extra special!

Teamwork with my scent detection dogs looks like my dogs doing their jobs to the best that I’ve taught, and me doing my job. Working together to solve the puzzle, and depending on one another for the answers. It takes time to build good teamwork. Plus actual experiences and of course- trust. Do I trust my dog? Does my dog trust me? Teamwork is a small word with a big meaning! Lots of things go into that!

Teamwork isn’t unique to this sport. Teamwork is important for all dog sports and activities- plus the real world! What does teamwork look like for you? What steps do you take to achieve it? How do you ensure that your dog learns to be a team player?
