Reactive Dog Reminder💙

Today Rex and I had an almost perfect walk. We passed people walking, running, biking, and even a few other dogs, and he handled it all so well. Calm check-ins, engagement, and recovery were amazing.

Then I made the mistake of stopping too long to talk to someone. I got comfortable because he had been doing so well, and I missed some of his signals. I also stopped rewarding and keeping his focus where it needed to be. The result was a mild reaction.

But this is your reminder to focus on the good. One reaction does not erase the success of the entire outing. Reactive dogs are not robots, and progress is not linear. What matters is that he recovered beautifully, we continued our walk successfully, and overall it was a really great outing for him.

Sometimes our dogs struggle because we struggle. Training is just as much about learning ourselves as it is teaching our dogs. Today was a reminder for me to stay engaged, keep reinforcing the behaviour I want, and advocate for my dog even when things seem to be going perfectly.

Progress over perfection🐾

🐶Training Session #2 with Andy🐶

Today we worked on heel skills and practicing disengagement from people and dogs while out on walks. Andy did a great job starting to focus back in and stay connected even around a few distractions. Lots of good progress already and I’m excited to see Andy keep building on these skills!🩵🐕‍🦺

🐾Distractions & Focus Class #3 🐾

Tonight we worked on more loose leash walking both as a group and individually while everyone else focused on keeping their dogs calm, engaged, and settled around distractions. All of the pups did such an amazing job, especially working in a completely new environment for them!🥰

Cinder was also a pawfect helper tonight 🐶🎾 Carrying around his ball and bringing all of his high energy made for a great real-life distraction for the pups to work around while staying focused on their owners. So proud of the progress this group is making each week!🐶

Next week is the big step, working them at Shipyards Landing for more real-life distractions! Can’t wait!🩵

🐕Thursday Training Tip #22 : Reinforce Calm Greetings🐾

If your dog gets overly excited when greeting people, try rewarding calm behaviour instead of the excitement! Wait for four paws on the floor, a sit, or relaxed body language before giving attention, pets, or treats.

Remember that attention can be a reward too! Calm greetings help build better manners and prevent jumping from becoming a habit🐶
