"So do I just...?"

Changing your dog's annoying behavior may not be as easy as just doing one little trick.

Often, "quick fixes" in dog training can effectively plug up one hole in the dam... only for another hole to spring up in its place.

Your dog's behavior issues can have root causes you may not be aware of. To make sure we're effectively addressing the problem at its core, we gather information about your dog's health, routine, and stressors before coming up with a training plan. Every dog is different!

Food-motivated dog suddenly not taking treats? It might be more than pickiness. GI upset can affect both appetite and behavior.

What do you do for a dog who wants to greet everyone?

Miss Honey, an adolescent pit bull, is going through a phase of wanting to greet everyone she sees while we are outside.

While we do conduct greetings on-leash, we are trying to keep them under stimulus control with the cue "go say hi." Here is a training exercise to help teach her to pay attention even when temptation arises.

Why would a trainer get a pit bull?

This dog had a lot of good qualities that made training with her super fun. It doesn't hurt that she's also super snuggly!

What other reinforcers can you use besides food?

I love to teach running alongside the handler with a stop at the end. This is such a fun way to keep your dog engaged with you outside, especially if there are a lot of areas of interest to point out. While running is not for everyone, it does work great for our family!

Does your dog like to run?
