Teach your dog a BOMB PROOF RECALL COMMAND with these easy steps! 💣 🐶

Introducing the recall command COME has a three step process that YOU the human must learn first!

The process goes in this order

1st. ATTENTION- This starts with your dog’s name followed by happy sounds. This can be whistling, Kissy noises, or anything goofy that grabs your dog’s attention!

2nd. Is the command word “COME “ in combination with a visual queue that is grabbing! I like to teach my clients the shaky fist low to the ground because it’s movement can very attractive to Puppies!

3rd. The final step is FOLLOW THROUGH! Following through involves using a correction noise such as “AH-AH” in combination with stepping forward so that you can now get in your dog’s peripheral vision. You never want your dog to learn that recall is an optional command especially when you are just in a practice scenario. If you don’t show your dog that you’re willing to follow through what makes you think that they will feel they should follow through in a time of danger‼️

That’s my girl ..💁‍♀️🐶

People think being a dog trainer means my dogs spend their entire lives being serious and following commands...

Meanwhile, Penelope’s over here putting Jareth in a headlock, and poor Stitch is just trying to mind his own business. 💀🐕

A cute puppy jumping on your guests is NOT cute at all!

Having a protocol that you’ve taught your puppy to recognize as a game is a great way to offset the possibility that they’ll jump all over your guests!

It’s far too often that I meet dogs who have accidentally been encouraged to jump all over the people within the household and then those very same humans have an issue with that dog jumping all over the guests. But let me let you in on a little secret… If you allow your puppy to jump all over you then there’s no reason they won’t want to jump all over the people who enter your home as well. It’s OK to still give your puppy an exciting hello but that’s after you’ve gone through the no jumping protocol!

it’s not about adding more corrections in order to get your puppy to know they shouldn’t jump on guests, it’s instead of creating a different expectation so that your dog recognizes it’s in their favor to not jump and that they can actually get lots of treats if they keep four paws on the floor!

Like I always say, if you train the human the dog will follow!

You’ll Never Know Unless You Start. 🐕💪

With the new year around the corner it’s important to remember that in order to be good at something one day you have to be willing to start and be a beginner now.

Always remember you know exactly what will happen if you never get started… NOTHING. But imagine whats possible if you took the chance and actually began!

It’s Not About Stopping The Barking… 👀

Dogs bark! It’s one of the main ways they communicate, and I’m certainly not interested in taking that away from mine.

Zeke and Penelope can go from full alert to calmly settling when asked, because they trust that I wouldn’t ask them to go in our settle protocol if there was something they should be worried about.

The best reward of all is being able to greet their crazy mother 🐶 🤡

Don’t judge a dog by their breed! 😤

it's far too often that people like to think that stubborn means
NOT smart... But it's quite the contrary! Most dogs that are considered stubborn are really just self-aware.
But if you find what drives you're so-called stubborn dog then you'd be amazed at what you can accomplish with them!
