Do you train your dog for the groomers?

Unbeknownst to some, it is not your groomers job to ensure your dog is behaved on the table. It's yours.

Desensitization through the maintenance of your dog's coat, nails, ears, and teeth is essential for a happy, safe, and well-kept pup and groomer!

Have you trained your dog to rest?

Huh? What does that mean? After you've met all their needs (exercise, food, water, mental stimulation) are they still bothering you or getting into things? That means you need to first check that you're really fulfilling them mentally whether that be through their genetics or their age and then you need to teach self control / regulation.

Giving them a dog bed and teaching them to stay for extended periods of time based on their understanding will help to teach them to settle themselves. If you stay consistent, this is a great tool to use during times of high excitement in your home.

Do you trust your dog?

Although you've put in all the work to achieve engagement and a strong recall do you give them the benefit of the doubt? Do you let them taste freedom from time to time?

Set up a sniffspot in an open field or maybe one near water and get to work on testing your training. Allowing them some freedom will build their confidence and strengthen the bond between you.

Is your dog's reactivity a nightmare?

Bring them to an open, but relatively busy area and get to work on socialization. Here Tookie built her confidence by jumping up on different surfaces and receiving a reward. Then her stressors started to appear. Dogs.

With dogs and bikers in the background, we continued to work at a distance where I allowed her to look and then asked her to continue working with me instead. By the end of this session we were walking by dogs comfortably and without pressure because I set her up for success. Try it out with your dog and remember, space is key in the beginning!

What are car manners?

When you get in the car is your dog barking out the windows? Jumping into the front? Sitting on you LAP? Then you need to work on car manners and safety.

If they have anxiety, it begins with how you get your dog into the car and then working on their manners without going anywhere. Then you drive around the block, then you build up to actually going somewhere.

If your daily trip to the dog park is the cause, then you'll have to manage their excitement by changing times or the way you prepare yourselves to go.
