Training Tip Tuesday: Stop Door Dashing Before It Starts!

Does your dog rush the door the second it opens? Door dashing can be dangerous, but you can teach your dog to wait patiently instead!

Here are a few tips to practice at home:

Start with the basics. Practice having your dog wait a short distance from the door before you approach it.

Reward patience. Give your dog a treat for staying in place while you reach for the doorknob.

Take it one step at a time. Gradually practice turning the handle and opening the door a little at a time, rewarding your dog for waiting.

Practice safety first. Use a leash, baby gate, or other barrier when needed to prevent your dog from bolting outside while learning.

Remember, practice in small steps and reward the behavior you want to see. Don't rush the process!

Tell us in the comments: Does your dog wait patiently at the door, or are they always ready to make a run for it?

Training Tip Tuesday: Give Your Reactive Dog More Space!

Does your dog bark, lunge, or struggle to focus when they see another dog? One of the most helpful things you can do is give them more distance!

When dogs feel overwhelmed, learning can be difficult. Instead of asking your dog to sit and stay while another dog approaches, try creating more space so they can feel comfortable and focus on you.

A few tips to try:

Cross the street or change direction when you see a trigger approaching.

Reward your dog for noticing another dog without reacting.

Keep enough distance that your dog can still take treats and respond to you.

Avoid forcing close greetings. Your dog doesn't need to say hello to every dog they see!

Remember, the goal isn't to make your dog tolerate every situation up close. It's to help them feel safer and learn how to handle the world around them.

🙋‍♀️ Dog owners, be honest!

What's ONE thing your dog does that you know you probably shouldn't encourage... but you let them get away with anyway? 😂

Letting them on the bed? Sharing snacks? Extra treats for those puppy eyes?

No judgment here! 👀

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday: Teach Your Dog to Settle!

Training isn't always about being active! Teaching your dog how to relax calmly is an important skill, too. 🐶

Try rewarding your dog when they settle quietly on their bed or mat. Start in a calm environment and gradually practice around more distractions as they improve.

Remember, calm behavior is a skill that takes practice! 💛
