Meet Nala. I did a consultation with this girl and her sister, Duchess, on Friday. We started easy with them and did intro to clicker, sit game and the touch cue. Nala is a 9 month old pittie.

Last week I talked about different types of mental stimulation. This is last one about the different types of mental stimulation.

Closely tied to physical activity is occupational enrichment. Working dogs such as Kelpies, Border collies or shepherds and be great companions but they’re generally much happier when they’re actively employed doing what they are bred to do. This isn’t saying that you should go out and find sheep for your dog to herd, most dogs that aren’t raised or have been trained to herd sheep, cannot herd sheep. But you can still teach him to respond to whistles or other cues. Terriers, like Jack Russells are known for their hunting ability, so try something like organized barn hunting. You can also set up something similar in your home or yard (use scented items in containers to approximate the experience).

Happy Saint Patrick's Day. I will dress Huck up whenever we get the opportunity.

Does your dog tolerate things like this? Post a picture of your dog in the comments wearing green!

Have you seen this car when out in the world?

I'm sure many of you have. Do you know where our logo of the two dogs comes from?

Shawna has two rescue dogs Maya and Triton. They both had a rough start but are the happy and so loved since Shawna and her husband adopted them. I love that these two are there to greet me every day I come to work!

Hello Social Walker's and future Social Walker's,

This weekend's training focus is leash skills and proper greeting of people and dogs. While we may not mind our personal dogs jumping up on us it is very rude not matter the size of the dog. You will also learn the proper way to manage your dog and the leash when greeting other dogs.

We also highly recommend joining the SWC if you need additional practice for taking the AKC CGC certification. Which we have another round of classes starting on April 5th. Registration can be found on our website under SWC.

As always if you are part of this program, you will receive a text later today letting you know where we are meeting and any additional items you may need for
class.

If you are currently not part of this program, we would love to have you join us as this a great way to connect with other dog owners and gain amazing leash skills.
Ohh and lets not forget you and your dog will have a blast!

Happy Wednesday FB friends and Instagram followers. Hope you are having a great day! We are now have 2 puppy classes and 2 adolescent classes for you to choose from! We are excited to be able to offer both a weekday class and a weekend class. We know exactly how busy life can get!😀

Why take a group class? An excellent question! Socialization! All puppies and most adolescent dogs can benefit from socialization. This can be in the form of p*ers, environment, smells, sounds, people, etc. We can help you slowly and carefully introduce your new puppy to the world around them.

The same can be said for your adolescent dog. They, too, need socialization. With our adolescent dog, it is important to understand that they are becoming naturally more selective about the world and the people around them. This is 100% natural. Just as you grow and evolve, so does your dog. WE would love to help you learn to read your dog's body language. The more we understand our dog and what they are trying to tell us, the more we are building the relationship and trust level with each other.

Reach out today, (425) 977-9605 and find out how we can support your goals with your dog or puppy! 🌼 Allison

This is the perfect class if you are considering the following.

🐾Classifying your dog as an Emotional Support Animal - while no training is required for a dog to be an ESA it is a good idea to give them some basic manners.

🐾Looking into training your dog to be a Therapy dog - this would be the first step in any Therapy dog training program.

🐾This class is part of our Service Dog program as it is a great place to start building a solid foundation of basic skills.

🥳We meet weekly every Wednesday and then you get 5 Social Walker sessions in order to help you get extra practice and guidance. Plus, our CGC class is 6-weeks with 11-1hour sessions all for the price of $290.00, that's only $26. 36 per session!

What are you waiting for, go to our website pcttr.com and go to our Social Walker page then click on the registration button.

Congratulations to this hard-working team!!

This is Bodie and his owner Lily! Months ago, Lily, her mom Jennifer and Bodie walked into one of our puppy classes. He was the cutest ball of fluff and a total goofball puppy!

Look how far they've come! They completed puppy class, adolescent class and are now moving into our Social Walkers Club!

It's been a pleasure to watch you all grow! I've definitely grown along with you! I look forward to seeing you on our pack walks!

Let's chat about dog training tools.

PCttR is in fact a fear free dog training company that stands by LIMA.

LIMA, “Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive”. LIMA describes a trainer or behavior consultant who uses the least intrusive, minimally aversive strategy out of a set of humane and effective tactics likely to succeed in achieving a training or behavior change objective. LIMA adherence also requires consultants to be adequately educated and skilled in order to ensure that the least intrusive and aversive procedure is used.

There are a lot of different training tools out there and I would love to have a conversation about them. I am very passionate about clicker training, pattern games and understanding the drive behind the behavior. I was also very lucky to have an amazing mentor training by the name of Joey Iverson when I was first starting out a little over 10 years ago.

So lets chat about training tools,

Some dogs need more physical activity than others to keep them mentally well-balanced. The need for physical activity isn’t necessarily breed-specific, though some breeds have naturally higher exercise needs.

If you’d like to keep your dogs physically active as part of their overall enrichment, factor in build, age and any medical issues before choosing an activity. Some dogs thrive on agility courses, while others live for dock diving or extended sessions of fetch. Start out with things that you know your dog likes to do, and branch out into other activities as time and budget allows. Also note that the more you run your dog, the more they will look to run. Building up their physical body will make them into an athlete. If you run your dog for 5 miles a day, they will expect that every day (including during the fall and winter).

This category can be a bit tricky, as it depends on both your dog’s temperament and the type of socialization available. Not all dogs enjoy the company of other dogs, and not all dogs enjoy the company of people other than their immediate family. If you do have a dog that isn’t leash reactive, long walks where they can interact with new people and/or other dogs is a great way to exercise both body and mind.

For my reactive dog, Huck, his way of being 'social' is by people watching and dog watching. He does have people friends that he can say hi to outside of my family but this is his main way of being social.

This beautiful boy is Blue!

During the night Blue would be sleeping in his mom's room, but at some point, he would decide he wanted to go sleep in her son's room. Instead of just walking down the hall into the son's room, Blue would whine and whine to wake up his mom and ask her to walk him there. The owners could not figure out why he wouldn't just walk on his own.

Shawna put the clues together! Noticing that majority of the house is carpeted or has rugs down and seeing that the hallway was hardwood... Shawna suggested to also put rugs down in the hallway. That very first night after putting the rugs down, Blue walked on his own into the son's room and hasn't had issues with the hallway since.

Sometimes the solution to a problem is easier than we think.

Depending on the breed/mix, your dog may respond best to specific types of sensory stimulation. For example, Beagles may enjoy scent games like playing "find the kibble", or even scent work in general.

You can also take your dog on regular walks where they get to sniff around and investigate their environment at leisure is a great, inexpensive way to stimulate all of their senses.

Note that not all dogs will enjoy breed-stereotypical activities, or be physically fit enough to participate without injury. Keep your pet’s personality, age, and infirmities in mind when deciding on enrichment activities. Older dogs may enjoy a cozy bed by a window where they can keep themselves entertained by watching the world go by.

Another easy way to keep your dog’s senses engaged is to rotate the toys. Keep only a few toys “active” for a given period of time, then exchange them for toys that have been in storage for a while.

There's many different ways to mentally stimulate a dog. Today we're going to talk about Nutritional Stimulation.

Most dogs love their food and you can use items like stuffed kongs, stuffed toppls or food puzzles to keep them occupied.

Or instead of feeding your dog their entire meal in one dish, you can toss or hide the pieces around the house which will encourage them to actively forage for food. Or if you have a yard you can sprinkle the food around your yard so your dog can forage for their food that way.

I love watching puppies play! The jumping and wrestling... they love it!

But does your puppy ever try to play with you like this?

Sometimes our puppies want to play with us like they would another dog... jumping on us and/or play biting. This kind of play can be annoying and even be painful. One way to address this behavior is to remove yourself from the situation. Our puppies love to be with us, so separating yourself from the puppy is a clear way to tell them that you do not want to play with them in that way.

If your puppy engages you in this type of play, go into a bathroom or a room where you can close the door and separate yourself from your puppy. Stay there for only about 30 seconds, then come back out. Repeat if needed, but only do this 3-4 times and only extend amount of time in the room up to 2 minutes at the most. If by that time it's not working, then puppy is overstimulated and needs a break in a kennel.

Meet Frito and Mia!

Frito is a puppy, and he loves to play with his older sister Mia. When she is done playing, Mia will give Frito all the cues telling him to back off, but he doesn't always listen. It's important that we advocate for our older dogs and step in when they need help.

One way to manage this is to redirect one of the dogs, typically the one with the best recall and ask the dog to do a behavior it knows. Continue to redirect as needed or you can separate if needed.

Hello Social Walker's and future Social Walker's,

This week we will be putting our focus is being calm out in the world. This comes in real handy when taking your dog to a dog friendly establishment. Even if you know your dog is good with this how would they be with another dog walking by them and trying to sniff them?

This is also the class that we highly recommend if you need additional practice for taking the AKC CGC certification. Which we have another round of classes coming up early next month 😉

As always if you are part of this program, you will receive a text later today letting you know where we are meeting and any additional items you may need for class.

If you are currently not part of this program, we would love to have you join us as this a great way to connect with other dog owners and gain amazing leash skills. Ohh and lets not forget you and your dog will have a blast!

Happy Wednesday, Face Book friends and Instagram followers. May I wish you a Great International Woman's Day! We thank all of you for your continued support of our female owned and powered business. You and your precious animals have helped us grow and evolve into the Pet Trainers and staff that we are! Thanks! We value each and everyone of you and your pets!

We have many openings in both our Puppy Classes and our Adolescent classes. You might ask, "What is the difference between a Puppy Class and an Adolescent Class?". An excellent question! Here is my quick break down.

Puppy Class: 6 or a 12 week program. Focus is on a structured program of the skills that you and your puppy will need to be a successful, well socialized team. If you choose the 12 week program, which we highly encourage, you will be able to begin proofing the skills taught as your dogs enters their "Adolescent" (think teenage) phase of their development.

Adolescent Class: 6 week program, but can be continued if desired or needed. This program is much more custom tailored to your training needs or priorities. It still offers a wonderful socialization opportunity, but we meet you where you and your dog are and move forward from there!

Both programs are designed to increase and successfully develop your lifelong bond with each other, and the joy of learning and trying new activities with each other. We help you build trust! We are a Force Free Training Company. That means we only believe in positive reinforcement. We believe in teaching your dog what to do, not what they can't do! We truly believe this type of training provides the best success for both you and your beloved pet.

Want to find out more? Reach out today, (425) 977-9605, and see how we can make a Positive difference in both your lives! 🌼 Allison

Sneak p*ek at your upcoming enrollee Mr. Revan.

👀 Look who decided to calm down and learn how to put her harness on nicely!!!! OMG she can be a normal dog!!! 😂 ❤️ 🐾 Shawna your the best!!!

Shawna Gallagher
Asked me to post the spill proof water bowl we use. I have 4 different dog breeds small to giant and they can not spill this bowl. I mainly use it in the car even if the bowl does get tipped on its side it has never leaked.
It can be difficult to take apart sometimes just soak it in hot water. It is dishwasher safe.
It can be found on Amazon sometimes but it always sells quickly.

Working hard on down stay while he is in sport class!!! She did it for 10 minutes!!! Yay!!!

Hey Shawna Gallagher!!!
It's been awhile since we've chatted. With your help, my dogs have been fabulous! The last couple of days, however, Tux has begun marking his territory in the house. Is there a way to break this habit before it gets out of hand? I've been keeping him locked in whichever Room I am in just like we did when he was potty training. ... thoughts? Tips??

Looking for the link again for dog food, Shawna... can you post it again? (Sorry)

Happy pup-o-ween

Do you have any tips for building confidence on walks, we were out walking when someone let fireworks off and she nearly choking herself to get home. It happened two nights in a row and it's taken a week to get her to half a block on walks, its basically walk p*e/poop and she wants to go home. She is constantly looking at the sky any sound an she is in flight mode. She won't go outside on her own without encouragement.

Question/Concern

Kodi was fixed 2 weeks ago and has been in a cone. He finally got it off today.

Prior to getting fixed, he was potty trained (we still have the excited-to-see-you p*eing we were trying to get under control from time to time).

During the time he was in his cone, he couldn't go outside on his own. So he'd go to the door, we'd put a leash on his collar (usually on a harness but with the cone, that'd be quite the drama), and took him out to go, then right back in the house.

Today he got some freedom! Got to go outside and have some fun, run around, chase the ball! Since we've gotten back into the house, he has not gone to the back door even once, but he has p*ed in the house twice. It doesn't even seem like he realizes he's doing it. He doesn't stop, squat, and p*e. He just p*es while he's walking as if it's completely normal.

Both times we put him out, "we go potty outside" while I cleaned up in here. Tried not to make a big deal out of it.

Called the vet, and they said it's perfectly normal for them to behave this way, it's behavioral rather than medical but watch him for 48 hours.

Ummmmm.....??

In what stage does dog training begin to take place (in person)? My Kodi is getting out of his cone tomorrow. 2 weeks in a cone with no training whatsoever is definitely beginning to show it'self! I'm going to need to get him back on track QUICK :) And Shawna is the best trainer to do it!

My understanding of Clicker training is 💯.
