Teaching an autosit is an awesome skill, especially for big dogs like Otis. It also teaches them to be mindful of your speed instead of rushing ahead. Good job Otis!

IT TAKES 2 TO PULL

One of you pulls- the other one pulls back.

If your dog pulls on leash, he's not intentionally trying to frustrate you. He's trying to see more of the world. And he's not going to change unless you change what you're doing- why would he? Pulling works for him.

The next time your dog pulls, consider WHY they're pulling (do they want to get close to something? Escape something else?) and tailor your response to that.

Also, reward when they look at you (bonus points if you can give the treat by your knee, so they develop a heeling position, too).

If you change the game, they'll change their behavior.

Elle killed it last week in Home Depot! According to her owners she used to pull like a freight train…she’s made fantastic progress these last few weeks. Now on to recall work!

Hi, I’m Max Seifert, proud owner of Rosie’s Tail Training.

My journey with dogs began as a child growing up in a veritable zoo- I loved learning about animal behavior, taking what I’d learned, and applying it to whatever dog or cat or horse we’d recently adopted.

Over the years, my love for dogs grew into a deep passion for helping them live their best lives while strengthening the bond they shared with their humans. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working with all kinds of breeds, and am an internationally-certified dog behavior consultant (CDBC). I am also a Behavior Adjustment Training Instructor and Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.

At Rosie’s Tail Training, my mission is simple: to help owners of reactive dogs connect with their dogs in an emotionally aware way. Whether you’re looking for someone to help with your dog’s excited behavior on leash, resource guarding of toys or food, or even human-directed aggression (bites included), I’m here to help!

When I’m not working with dogs, you can find me out somewhere hiking, on the farm with my horse, or studying more about animal behavior.

Thank you for trusting me with your canine companions- I can’t wait to meet you and your dog!

In the unfortunate incident that you and your dog are attacked, what are the next steps to take?

1. On the scene:
-Exchange contact information with owner to confirm rabies and other vaccination status
-Once dogs are pulled apart, check for injuries
-If applicable, contact animal control and/or emergency services.

2. Immediately following:
-Administer basic first aid. If in any question, call your vet or doctor. (Punctures can get nasty- ALWAYS get medical attention if a puncture is involved)

3. 30 minutes after:
-Check for soreness or things that won’t be immediately obvious until the adrenaline goes down. That can mask a lot of pain- do not assume your dog is uninjured just because you don’t see blood.

4. Following in the days after:
-Consider doing the Canine Emotional Detox protocol- this protocol is designed to specifically help dogs after a stressful event, and takes 72 hours to complete. Yes, it’s involved. Yes, I think it’s worth it. (https://www.dogwise.com/stress-release-for-dogs-the-canine-emotional-detox)

-Take it easy, and continue to keep an eye out for inflammation and soreness.

-Do things that make you and your dog feel safe: go to Sniffspots where other dogs won’t be around, go play in a creek, enjoy a book together- whatever feels best.

5. In the long term:

-Some dogs may begin showing reactive behaviors, or show an increase in reactivity following an attack. Keep an eye out for this, and seek help from an experienced aggression specialist should signs arise.

-Get back to your routine when you and your pup feel ready- this takes the time it takes.

While it is scary when dogs get in fights, it's important to remember that help is around. I have helped to rehab hundreds of dogs who have been attacked, or who have done the attacking. You are not alone.

Daisy has made incredible progress in the last few weeks- and now with the nicer weather, it’s really paying off. Before starting with Rosie’s Tail Training, Daisy couldn’t walk past another dog without laying down in the street or lunging to the end of her leash. She’s now almost to the point of walking past dogs on the same sidewalk!! Huge progress for this beautiful girl, and her wonderful owner.
