In the danger zone bruh

Fashionably moppy ….. believe it or not, there’s a purpose to this. It’s just never looked this good.

To start, I’d like to thank everyone for their referrals and remind you all.... I also train small breeds. Unrelated.... this is a 100 lb. Rottie named Chase. He isn’t bad, really. He’s 100 pounds And young And 100 pounds Should be fun. . . . #dogtrainer #dogtraining #rottie #rottiesofinstagram #rottielove #veteranowned #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #patriot

For this trick, Badge will make a French fry disappear. Actually, the trick is no trick at all. It’s marker training, and every dog who comes through my program gets it. . . . #malinois #malinoisofinstagram #malinoislovers #k9 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainersofinstagram #veteranowned #veteranownedbusiness #patriot

Shaping through luring and leash pressure, charging the marker, positive reinforcement and repeating.... and repeating... and repeating... If I didn’t have the videos as proof that I’m changing clothes, I’d have a pretty solid Groundhog Day theory. . . . @patriotcanineservices

Bucket!

The Potters were fascinated with my “dog on a bucket” video. After I finished training Maya, I showed them how to take what she knows and teach the behavior themselves. Like anyone else, I let people get in my head and I start to doubt myself sometimes. Getting a random message from your client at 9 pm that says, “She did the bucket”, with an attached video as proof...... was exactly the affirmation I needed. Proud teacher/trainer moment. Thank you Potters! She did the bucket!!!!

Getting started with Yuki! Charging the marker, luring into positions, and focus building. The sound is on, so you can see there’s no verbal communication happening in the beginning.

Ziggy’s been working on all of this in a sterile environment. No other people, dogs, or things to look at. Now I take the place board, something he’s familiar with, and put it in a new environment with new animal odor, people talking nearby, and vehicle traffic on the other side of the wall. The goal here, is he ignores the new distractions to interact with me instead, and shows me the familiarity with the place board in a new environment. . . . #dogtraining #dogtrainer #goldenretriever #goldenretrieversofinstagram #offleashtraining #offleashlife #veteranownedbusiness #patriot @cland329 @ecollartechnologies

Luring is a great way to communicate new behaviors to the dog. Once they understand the task of following the food, they can be guided into desired positions, locations, elevations... limitless possibilities. Maya picked it up in the twilight hours. I don’t choose when they figure it out. I just hit record when I see it. . . . #dogtrainer #dogtraining #gsdofinstagram #gsd #veteranownedbusiness #patriot @cland329 @projectk9hero

It’s been a crazy week. Maya came to me a few days ago because she likes chasing things. Those things usually don’t like being chased, so we’re going to teach her some other, more rewarding behaviors. She also greets people like this, and that’s just too much work for everyone. 🇺🇸

Mando getting out into the world and showing off what he’s been working on. Possibly one of the goodest of boys. It’s not magic. It’s consistent reps and reinforcement.

This is my 7 year old daughter walking Mando. The leash is attached to his flat collar, which I’ve been using to pair leash pressure with e-collar pressure over the past week. Because we took our time and paired the collars correctly, Mando is excited and happy to let this tiny human lead him around. It isn’t perfect yet, but we’re just getting started. Walking the dog shouldn’t come with stress, anxiety, or trips to the emergency room.

This is what morning walks have turned into. Should have been named Ricochet Rabbit.

Since I can’t post two videos at once, check the comments for Mando’s arrival video or just take my word for it when i say, he had no idea what leash pressure was supposed to mean. It was made the afternoon I picked him up, so he’s wearing the type of collar he’s accustomed to, a correction chain. You can see the collar’s purpose is lost, and Mando is more than comfortable with that amount of pressure, even if it means the person holding the other end of the line isn’t having the best time. I told the owner I’d work on eliminating the correction collar and having Mando walking politely on a flat collar. In the main video filmed on his third day, you’ll see Mando responding to leash pressure, leaving a loose lead, and remaining closer to me in the presence of another person and a passive dog (competing motivators). This was Mando’s first exposure to another dog while walking on leash since arriving. Mando is the only dog in his home and he has not been socialized with other animals. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to reinforce the desirable behaviors and snuff out the undesirables while keeping that stubby tail moving and making friends.

This is Rigs. He’s been here a few weeks for Board and Train, drive building, and environmental conditioning. He’ll be available for purchase once he’s ready. This dog brings a ton of ignition and responds well to pressure, but is very social and clear headed. I brought the bucket out last night while I had him out to break and he immediately started to engage with it. It was too dark to catch last night, but we picked it back up this morning with some day light.
