Practicing front door manners with Bailey! Jumping on guests has been a struggle in the past, so I’m teaching her to relax on her bed instead. When dealing with unwanted behavior from our dogs, we can’t just tell them No or Stop. We need to tell them what we want them to do instead and work hard to reinforce the more desirable behavior. With consistent practice, Bailey is learning how to make the best first impression with everyone she welcomes in her home. ❤️🐾

The therapy dog training with Penny continues! Working on relaxing and not jumping when people walk by. She’s doing so well! 🙌🏻😊🐾

Well, it’s official! Penny’s owners have asked me to begin training her to be a therapy dog! This means lots of socialization and confidence-building outings, as well as training exercises with high-level distractions. I think Penny is the girl for the job and will spread so much joy everywhere she goes. Excited for the journey ahead!🐾❤️

Working on Leave-it with Penny! ❤️ I like to teach Touch (hand-targeting) to use in combination with Leave-it because it moves dogs further away from the item you’re telling them to disengage from. Often, you can tell a dog to leave something, and initially they do, but they end up returning to the thing. Using Touch is a great way to prevent this from happening and communicates to your dog that Leave it is permanent and final. Good job, Penny! 🥰🙌🏻🐾

Back with Penny! 😍 She’s learning how to wait at the front door and reorient to me once she’s been released. This helps prevent door dashing and also establishes good impulse control. ❤️🐾

Working on Place Stay with Penny and her big sister, Everest. Sometimes their play gets a little out of control, and this behavior is a nice way to interrupt and slow down the crazy! Notice at the end that they don’t even want to leave their mats. They’ve learned that it’s a great place to be, so why leave? 😆 We have a little work to do on our release cue 😅 Proud of these two! 🥰

I’ve been so impressed with the progress this little girl has made in such a short period of time. When I first met her, her owners expressed frustrations with out-of-control counter surfing (full loafs of bread and sticks of butter were favorites 😆)and stealing food out of their hands or off their plate while walking through the kitchen or sitting at the table. I began heavily reinforcing a relaxed down (I call it Settle) as an alternative behavior to any of the above-mentioned problems. It’s a simple but extremely effective technique to counteract poor impulse control of any kind. In the video, the “food” item being held up is the visual cue for her to lie down. With this kind of training, she learns that just because something is available, it doesn’t mean she can have it. This also applies to things that are dropped or fall off the counter. It’s impulse control on an advanced level and I can’t be more proud of her! ❤️

More confidence-building outings with Penny! People often miss this part of socialization. It’s not only dogs-it’s anything your dog could possibly be exposed to in their life. New environments, loud trucks, people of various looks, ages, ethnicities, hats and sunglasses, strange sounds and power tools, the list goes on! We also visited her vet and practiced just hanging out without even seeing the doctor. She’s building a positive association with the vet clinic by getting treats and we’re preventing future feelings of anxiety that so many dogs experience. She’s making great progress! 😊

The Penny Project! 😍
I've had the absolute joy of working with this little girl over the past couple of weeks, and I couldn't be more proud of her. Penny's family recruited me to help with the training process while they're at work or school. I go to their house three days a week and teach her skills that will help her become a well-behaved dog with great manners. We also go on field trips to build her confidence with new environments, sights, and sounds, and have even started swim lessons in their pool! She's doing so well, and I'm excited for the confident young lady she's growing up to be. 😊❤️🐶
