Don't Worry Be Waggy

Don't Worry Be Waggy Dog Behavior Specialist and Dog Trainer, located in the San Fernando Valley. Helping pet dogs and their families get their wag back!

Not only have I been working with pet dogs and cats professionally for over 15 years, I have also studied companion animal behavior extensively, earning both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in the field. I continue to educate myself to this day, as I want to bring my clients the latest and greatest information and training techniques.

I'm lazy-er, efficient. I like to teach one behavior that addresses multiple things, instead of teaching a bajillion separate cues.

Teaching McNulty to go lay on his special blanket will make it easier for his owners to send him to places like his kennel, his play pen, and one day, have him chill out while they are all out at a restaurant.

Also, the little pitter-patter of his feet is too cute! 🐾😍

McNulty was never a big fan of having his harness put on, and would get super mouthy and wiggly with his owners whenever it was time to "get dressed".

So during our Stay & Train (where I stay at your home to watch your dog and train them) I taught him that it can be fun putting the harness on!

I never remember to film the "before" so this may not look like a big deal, but I think his parents will be very pleased with this transformation 😃

Ace is learning some helpful things, like "give" and impulse control. I made this video for his family to follow along with, but hopefully it will be helpful to someone else on here as well! ☺️

Mr. Bean decided we haven't been to the vet's in awhile, so he went and got an ulcer on his eye 🫣

Whenever you need to do something unpleasant to your dog, like give them eye drops, you can help them make nicer associations with that scenario by following it up immediately with something they really really like.

So in this case, eye drops predict a tasty treat is on the way.

Do not do this the other way around (showing them a treat or feeding a treat right before doing the unpleasant thing), because that could "poison" the treat and change its meaning to the dog.

"Treat predicts bad thing about to happen, therefore treat cannot be trusted."

I appreciate it when clients make me laugh with their questionnaire answers 😄

I guess I'm just more familiar with herding breeds 🤷😅
