Sam is a beautiful who is only 2 years old. His owner called me when he had jumped the fence and gotten into a bit of a ruckus with a dog down the street. Sam definitely needed some and needed to hone his , but he is a good . His owner learned to , using Sam's own language, body language and voice tones, to communicate with him. Sam understood more quickly what his owner wanted from him. We also started working on leash work and Sam is learning to walk nicely on a leash next to his owner. Modifications to the fence will be made, and Sam is learning to listen to his owner and let him make the decisions. The best time to train a dog is when he is just a puppy but any dog can be trained at any age. Marquardt K9 Behavior Training's Life of the Dog Guarantee follows the dog for the rest of his life.

Kato is a beautiful mix. The owners originally called because of his around other and people, and sometimes around other dogs. I found Kato to be a very sensitive dog who did seem to be a bit anxious around new people. It took a bit for him to warm up to me initially. We worked on Kato's a bit and we worked on helping the owners to learn to read Kato's . communicate mainly through body language and voice tones, so we used that in order to train Kato. It is important for them to read Kato's body language so they can anticipate what he is planning to do. The last time I saw Kato he was much more relaxed and even asking for pets from me. He did great on leash work and learned not to pull, and did very well walking by a few dogs in the neighborhood. Kato still has some work to do but has made a lot of progress. It is easier to work on some of these things when it's warmer out but we do what we can in Wisconsin in the winter!

Chaz is a I worked with recently. He is an mix. Chaz is a big boy and only 10 months old! Still growing! He was adopted only a few months ago and the owner was having trouble getting control of Chaz. He is a very friendly dog, but he needed him to stop on people and his needed a lot of work. I found him to be a good though, and once we started and using his language in order to train him, he started listening much better. His owner definitely has some homework to do with him, but Chaz was noticeably calmer when I left. The owner needs to be the one making the decisions and not Chaz. Chaz is still a puppy after all. He needs a leader who will look out for his needs. They need to learn to trust each other and Chaz needs to learn to look up to his owner. They will work on some homework until next time!

I was happy to be able to work with this beautiful girl last week! Her name is Gigi and she is a purebred . She is in a family with 3 children and her daddy is deployed, so her mama has her hands full. She just needed help teaching Gigi some and . She is a very sweet and wants to listen, so teaching her was fun. She didn't have many rules in place and dogs do need rules to follow, or they will keep trying to find the line in the sand they can't cross. Gigi is only 9 months old so she needs structure. We discussed and practiced some exercises to show Gigi that her owner could be a good leader for her. Dogs crave leadership from someone they trust, like their owner, and need someone to lead. When the owner is the leader, bad behaviors like and do not develop. We also used to train Gigi, so she understood what we wanted right away. She is a smart girl! She settled down quickly and everyone was happy. The owner will need to do her homework and continue to be consistent, but Gigi is off to a great start!

I was happy to work with 3 sweet little last week; Daisy, a , and Bella and Bentley, both dogs. Daisy is 9 months old and has never been able to be fully . In the past few months, Bella and Bentley have started marking in the house even though they were previously housetrained. They had tried many things to fix the problem but had been unsuccessful so they called for help. Very often it isn't just putting actual housetraining techniques into place, but putting rules into place, especially due to the . Marking is a dominance issue. Bella and Bentley had not "lost their housetraining", they were marking. And yes, females can mark also. The dogs basically had no rules and got everything they asked for, so the dogs were in charge of the household in their minds. This definitely had a hand in causing the marking. They also couldn't watch the dogs 24/7 and they had never kenneled the dogs. Part of the time they were pottying in the house at night when the owners were asleep. Changes needed to happen. We talked at length about how dogs communicated and how we would use that to train the dogs, using and . They would use 3 different voice tones to communicate with the dogs. They would also initiate the attention with the dogs, showing leadership. We talked about, and worked on exercises to show the dogs the owners could be good leaders for them. Changes were evident almost as soon as we started working with them. The dogs understood it quickly because the owners were . They will need to be consistent but the will follow them and they will have help when they need it. It was fun working with this family! I will be looking forward to the two week follow up!

I haven't posted pictures in a while. Here are 3 I worked with recently. The first dog is Gus, a . Gus's owner just needed some help getting better control of Gus for , , an d getting overly excited about the birds outside and wanting to jump at the window! It didn't take much time after the owner stared for Gus to get the correct information and he began behaving much better. We are currently working on and overall he is doing quite well!

The next dog is the beautiful . When I was first called it was for aggression issues and he was a foster dog so euthanasia was being discussed. During our first session I could see that Graham was just a nervous dog trying to figure out his place. We discussed and the fosters were concerned about using this as Graham had growled and lunged at them in the past. I encouraged them to try. I told them to call me if anything concerning happened. Graham responded very well during the lesson. Two weeks later at our follow up visit, they told me he was a completely changed dog! He had given up all the aggressive behaviors and just wanted to be loved. I am happy to say he has now been adopted and is doing great in his new home. His new owner was told of his history and taught the training techniques as well. I am so happy for Graham!

The last dog is the Sigmund who I wrote about previously. Sigmund was such a shy dog originally and really came out of his shell when his owner started to . In this picture, they took Sigmund on a trip to ! He still has some work to do getting used to meeting dogs on a walk, but this dog also has really come a long way! I love seeing these dogs come out of their shells and become happy !

Adopted!
Boi is back on the market.

We tried to tell you.
He’s 54 pounds of long-legged hound with the posture of a haunted coat rack and the emotional depth of a black-and-white indie film.

About 5 years old.
Fully vetted.
Dog-friendly.
Soft in every possible way.

He came back because it just wasn’t the right fit—no drama, no hard feelings. Boi’s the kind of dog who would write a thank-you note on scented stationery if he had thumbs.

So here he is again: freshly bathed, mildly confused, and still waiting for someone who sees what we see.

Share Boi. He’s not spooky, he’s just built different.

Remember Johnnie and Paxton? They were a case and also a people fear case. I am so happy to report they are both doing so much better! After 3 visits and about 4 weeks, the dogs are getting along great again with no issues and Johnnie, who was the biggest holdout for being social, decided I was all right and came and took treats from my hands and was licking my hands. As you can see from the picture, he is a much happier dog now. They are walking on through the neighborhood which is something they were too afraid to do before, but now the dogs have come along far enough in their training and the owners have the tools they need. I am SO proud of this family! They followed the directions and worked with Johnnie and Paxton and the results followed. They have the so if they ever need more help, all they have to do is call. We back them up for the rest of the dogs' lives.

Thanks for staying with me friends! My next story is about two more dogs, Aspen and Cypress. Aspen is a and Cypress is a , for those that don't know, that is a . Aspen is 16 months old and Cypress is 8 months old, and they had been having arguments over and just their play accelerating into fighting for some time. Their owner decided it was time to call for help. She had to watch them 24/7 to make sure they didn't hurt themselves. They definitely had a case of . Their owner admitted she treated them as her babies, and these dogs really had very little in the way of rules. Cypress was still having some potty training accidents also. This could be accidents or at her age it could be female dominant marking. They needed some rules in their lives and they definitely needed to know someone else was the leader. When two dogs in the family are fighting, it is over the pecking order, who is in charge. Neither of them could be in charge. The owner had to take over canine leadership in the household so the fighting would stop. We talked about canine communication and what that looked like, and started using that with the girls. They immediately calmed down and started listening better. When you use the dog's own communication methods to train him, he understands it right away. It shortens the learning curve dramatically. You don't need harsh or physical methods to train a dog, you just need clear communication and . We did some exercises including teaching the dogs to stay back from the door until being released when visitors arrived, then I gave the owner some homework to do until our next lesson. These are good dogs who can live together in peace. They just need a few rules to follow and to know someone else is in charge.

My next story is about 2 , Paxton and Johnnie. It's a happy story but doesn't start out too happy. Paxton and Johnnie are both who live together, and they had argued with each other over toys and such in the past but it hadn't amounted to much until one day when Johnnie's ear was ripped and had to go to the vet. Now it was time to call for help. They searched on the internet and found and booked an appointment. When I arrived Johnnie and Paxton were behind a gate and growled and barked (mostly growled loudly) at me for the first 40 minutes or so while we discussed and what had happened between them. Then we started using canine communication with them, and the boys stopped and started paying attention. When I asked the owner to take the gate down and let the boys into the room where I was she was pretty apprehensive, but I explained what to do and she let the gate down. Johnnie and Paxton calmly walked into the room. They sniffed me and we went on with the training. We completed the first lesson and I gave them some homework, and we made plans for me to come back in 2 weeks. The picture is of Paxton 2 weeks later. Johnnie was a bit camera shy, but Paxton kept coming over and wanting me to pet him! They were doing great with everything inside so we worked on leash work outside which the owner was worried about because the boys had been so leash reactive with people and dogs, and they live across from a park which was currently full of people. I encouraged them to try it and guess what, not a peep out of the dogs. They did SO WELL!! Now not every behavior is perfectly cured in 2 weeks, that takes time but they are well on their way. I will see them again in 2 weeks and with the life of the dog guarantee, if they need help down the road, I will be there to help them.
