Auggie, Archie, and Charlie are all practicing their place stay today!

These three tend to amp each other up, so practicing impulse control both individually and as a pack is a great way to introduce some peace and structure into the home. Great job, guys!

Be mindful and respectful; advocate for your dog.

Mogli’s in the home stretch! Today we went another tandem walk with his training buddy and we did lots of work outside of the dog park - the best place to be! He did a great job around the high energy and noisiness going on inside the fence. Then we went to Bed Bath & Beyond where we practiced a down stay while I walked around the aisles - he got lots of compliments!

Practicing impulse control on place and during play with Mogli’s two favorite things : a ball and food.

Two key components to the success of these drills : an understanding of place and marker words. You’ll notice each time I say “nope”, Mogli immediately stops what he’s doing. Have you worked explicitly on a few words and the importance of their meaning? Or do you switch up “nope” and “no” and “off” and “stop” - giving very little meaning to each one of them?

Dogs don’t speak our language so in order to effectively communicate what we’d like, it’s easier to stick to a few words and make sure we’re consistent in using/training them - it’s much less confusing and frustrating for both the dog AND the handler!

More exposure for Mogli! We took another pack walk in a neighborhood full of dogs charging the fence and barking excessively (all of which are perfect distractions for his point in training) and then we went to another dog friendly restaurant. On the way there we practice holding a “down” command while in the car - he’s previously been incredibly reactive in the car, so taking away the option to keep his head on a swivel while driving makes a big difference and offers a state of calm to him. He did a wonderful job at the restaurant packed with people, some of whom approached to pet, and even stayed relaxed while a train passed behind us. This boy has come so far!
