Day 7? Of training everyday until December 31st!
Dog of the day is Kitty! 🍫

We went to LLbean and posed a few times while practicing sit stays in a high distraction environment as I forgot that it was a Santa night😅 and after a few too many not so respectful kid greetings we opted to wrap up our night to make sure things were kept fun and enjoyable for all.

Day 6 of training everyday with a personal dog until December 31st! Dog of the day is Fiona! She got to come with me as I shopped at Lowe’s for a handful of things. This was mostly a socialization trip for her so we go to new places and keep things happy happy happy. A little bit of show dog training but mixed in some “pet” skills with sit and down and obviously walking nicely on leash. For my personal dogs I don’t ask that they walk in a heel position and as long as they are not pulling me over I do not mind that the leash gets taut.

Day 5, just posting late, of training everyday until December 31st.
Dog of the day is Fiona!
We practiced impulse control and recall around livestock and not eating duck food 🤣 just learning how to be a dog stuff. Sitting while I fill water buckets, and trying to not sass me while I scoop grain. Good girlie fifi

Day 4, maybe skipped a day but that’s okay! Kitty got a private at Go Dog Go with Christine to learn a few things 🥰 I think agility is in our future

Day 3 of training a personal dog everyday until December 31st
Dog of the day is Kitty again(it’s a theme when 1 dog is raising puppies, 1 is in heat, some are old, etc)
Kitty and I went on a kid free trail walk today during my lunch break while others held down my fort for me with kids and dogs.
Kitty finds off leash hikes and interacting with me very high value so combining some of her training intermittently throughout the walk has been a good way to reinforce the behaviors. Quick stand stay, quick over under, quick paws up etc were some of the things we practiced along the way.

Also I need to remember to grab the correct sized vest next time 😅

Day 2 of training every day until December 31stDog of the day is Kitty! Practicing behaviors we already know but with me in a different position ie me not standing 😅 I also introduced a new thing of putting her nose into something. It’s funny and not serious but can be a good foundation for behaviors down the road.

Day 1 of training everyday until December 31st with one of my personal dogs.
Dog of the day is Natty Bug! 🐞 We practiced a sit stay while I walked to the mailbox which had no mail so I just open and shut the mailbox a few times and then came back to her. Then I encouraged a “flop” to her side. While she will do it for belly rubs we are working on her comfortability in offering it so we eventually can work up to a different trick.
Short and sweet and simple to start. Watching myself I need to remember to not talk so much. This is a dog who has a good stay. I shouldn’t have said it multiple times when walking away. I allowed my insecurities of filming my training session overflow to talking more. It happens. Good thing I have many more days to go as messy and done is better than procrastination out of fear of not being perfect. 🥰

So I’ve been fairly quiet on this page as lots has been going on with the crew and personal life as well as I have a very lovely core group of clients that keep me busy. I’m going to *try* to get back into the swing of things. Starting tomorrow, December 10th through December 31st I’m going to post a photo or video from a training session with my own personal dog along with a small tid bit to share what my training session was about. I’ve been inspired by others who are posting their once a day training session throughout December. Most of my training sessions with my personal dogs don’t look glamorous. I prefer teaching life skills over obedience so that also makes things appear more boring than it is. My goal is to make training look more achievable for the average busy home. I get it, I have 3 young kids, work full time, and a menagerie of animals in my care, getting out and training isn’t always easy but it doesn’t have to be as hard as you think.

Someone passed this onto us and we thought it was a great idea to share.
With the 4th of July right around the corner we tend to get several calls about dogs getting out, and owners frantically trying to find them. We ask that you make sure your dogs have their collars on, updated contact information on their licenses, or do something similar to the picture below !
We can not scan for microchips. We do not have a scanner, and if the vets offices are closed, we will have to transport any found dogs that are unclaimed to Lake County Dog Shelter.
We love our community fur babies and want to make sure they are safe! 🐾💕

The joys of a long line!
1. I’m following the law
2. My dog can not run away
3. I get to play a huge part in the interactions my dogs have.
4. I can make a positive experience for other trail goers both with and without dogs
5. It’s respectful to the property to have good trail manners
6. It’s what the cool kids do 😎

We make a habit of ripping open chip bags when we put them in the trash and chips are kept at the top shelf of our pantry. One of the many things we do to manage our household for our dogs
