Watching puppy dynamics + personalities unfold are my favorite.
It tells you a lot about each dog and who they are.
Tell me what you observe from this video and I’ll comment what I see. :) (no wrong answers here)

One of my fave topics, classical conditioning.
If you’re not on it, you can unconsciously condition your dog to express a behavior/action without knowing it. This can be a good or bad thing.
You’ve heard me talk bomb proof recall. It’s really important that my dogs have this. I can’t have a dog that doesn’t listen, most of the situations they’re in day to day a simple command could save their life. Not listening is not an option.
You’ve heard me say freedom is earned. And it is, but how do you classically condition that bomb proof recall.
Practice ….. and
I use a whistle. The same whistle in the same pitch and tone, every time that means the same thing. It means whatever you’re doing, stop and come here.
You can classically condition this from the start. Whenever my puppies start running towards me I whistle and reward. They don’t know it at the time but I’m instilling that sound and response so they know what to do before they even know what they’re doing.
If you’re a nerd you’ve heard of pavlovs theory and how he classically conditioned his dogs to salivate when they heard a bell. Classically conditioning explains how a neutral stimulus can be paired with an unconditioned stimulus to create a conditioned response. This process is a type of automatic learning.
So how did he do this? He would ring the bell, then feed. He did this so often that everytime he rang the bell the dogs would salivate in anticipation of being fed.
The same can be applied here to that bomb proof recall.

I love finding old videos of work we’ve done. I forgot I had started Buck on scent work months ago when he was boarding with us.
Step by step. This is the first intro to see how those problem solving skills work with him. Each dog is different. Some need more time. Don’t get discouraged if your dog doesn’t pick this exercise up this fast. Bucks mom is titled to the experienced level in Scent work, it’s in his blood.

Buck easily transitioning between commands solely on voice alone. No visual asks, no gestures, no body movement.
I’m sorry but what?! @julie.m.loftus y’all know how to train a dog!!!!
First day really working with him, I wanted to give him time to decompress and settle before jumping right into expectations.

Fine tuning weaves with Buck today. He is SO eager to please! He’s working his brain hard to try to problem solve his way to understand what I’m asking of him.
Breaking some old habits and implementing space, patience and time for him to figure it out.
Hopefully get him titled this week for TKN (AKC Novice Trick Dog)
This guy is sooooo smart! So eager to learn and just such an absolute love to work with. I wish they all were as easy as him!
