Well Trained Dogs

Does your dog bolt through doorways and gates? This is a simple exercise you can do to help teach them impulse control around thresholds. It may not seem dangerous to bolt through as soon as the crate door opens, but if it's the front door or your car door, it can turn dangerous very quickly. Teaching boundaries in these situations keeps your dog safe and teaches them to look to us for direction. #buildingrelationships #confidencebuilding #connectwithyourdog #placeface #trainingpeopletotraindogs #leashmanners #welltraineddogs #boardandtrainprogram #centralalbertadogtrainer #dogtrainer

What does breakfast look like at your house? This is a great and simple way to feed your dog and give them a mental stimulation exercise at the same time! #recalltraining #traindaily #walknice #welltraineddogs #buildyourrelationship #connectwithyourdog #placeface #centralalbertadogtrainer #trainingpeopletotraindogs #dogtrainer #leashmanners #dogtraining

Sometimes a longer leash and giving your dog a little extra space on walks, helps them to make the choice to stay close to you. You are the thing that will reliably reward them in this world, don't waste your value, use it to build trust and good habits.

Icy walks with 4 pups today! A dog pulling at the end of the leash can be very dangerous for them and for us when there's ice on the ground! It's never too late to teach your dog to stop pulling on leash and pay more attention to whoever is holding the leash. Consistency and a confident leader with the right knowledge can make all the difference! #recalltraining #traindaily #walknice #welltraineddogs #buildyourrelationship #connectwithyourdog #placeface #centralalbertadogtrainer #trainingpeopletotraindogs #dogtrainer #leashmanners #dogtraining #ecollartraining #confidencebuilding

Working on recall and impulse control in a field out of the city today. Around the 5 second mark (of course when we were out of frame🙄) Wilson saw a rabbit and took off after it, but the leash helped him remember that chasing rabbits isn't appropriate. He hit the end of it, then came back to me with a little more coaxing. Each time your dog is able to chase something with no penalty, is going to reinforce that chasing things is fun and acceptable. If your dog doesn't have perfect recall on a long line, DONT let them off leash. You're setting them up to fail, so if they do fail, it's on you. Let's set our dogs up to succeed!! 👍🏻 #buildingrelationships #confidencebuilding #connectwithyourdog #placeface #trainingpeopletotraindogs #leashmanners #welltraineddogs #boardandtrainprogram #centralalbertadogtrainer #dogtrainer #ecollartraining #creatingfreedom

Sometimes our dogs aren't in the mood to work. Maybe they're tired, or hot, or sore they're just not feeling it today. George was feeling a type of way when he came for training this week. Instead of pushing him to do what I planned for this week's session, I adjusted and we worked on other skills while doing something he already knows and loves - playing tug! We played with him, working on a reliable "release" command as well as some impulse control! When the world gives us bad moods, we adjust and work with it! With ourselves and our dogs 😍 #recalltraining #traindaily #walknice #welltraineddogs #buildyourrelationship #connectwithyourdog #placeface #centralalbertadogtrainer #trainingpeopletotraindogs #dogtrainer #leashmanners #dogtraining #dobermanpinscher

Walkies with the mini dog and human today!

Simple session tonight working on some impulse control as well as really trying to pull out her food drive. I've found a freeze dried food which she LOVES so we will continue using it to work with her as well as to try put some meat on her bones 🥳 (I got her over the 2lbs mark!!) The main goal for Tilly is to have her come when called, as well as to know a place command so she can stay safe around the 2, 100lbs dogs at home as well as the horse! Without those basic commands being understood, she won't be able to have much freedom in life. I'm so excited to have found something she's eager to work for and even gets a bit pushy for, and she's already had some big breakthroughs! #recalltraining #traindaily #walknice #welltraineddogs #buildyourrelationship #connectwithyourdog #placeface #centralalbertadogtrainer #trainingpeopletotraindogs #dogtrainer #leashmanners #dogtraining #boardandtrainprogram #placeface #besafe #creatingfreedom
