Our first National Association of Canine Scent Work trial is in the books. What a super fun weekend we had! Since I can’t run two dogs at the same level, I opted to run Bodhi who was computer chosen in NW1 and Phoenix in the Element Speciality for Exterior and Containers.

Bodhi crushed his NW1 title (container, exterior, interior and vehicle searches) earning some nice placements and ranked 5th out of 25 dogs overall in NW1.

Phoenix had a stellar performance earning both L1 Element Speciality titles in Exterior and Containers.

I literally couldn’t be more proud of both my dogs. They handled the new environment (St. Lucie Fairgrounds) like champs. Lots of environmental exposure, farm animal smells (we love horse p**p), cars racing, other dogs, very hot weather conditions (thankfully we got to crate inside with the AC), long walks to and back from multiple search areas, staying in a hotel, having a false fire drill in said hotel and they were completely calm and ready to work. All the training from the time they were young until now was put to the test and I really enjoyed being able to relax knowing they could more than handle it.

Huge congratulations to our besties Terri Cannici and Willow on their fantastic weekend and new titles. I’m so proud of both of you! Congratulations to everyone who competed this weekend.

Thank you to our Trial Host: Obedience Training Club of Palm Beach County, Trial Secretary: Judy McPartland, Certifying Official: Natalie McManus and our Judges: Sinead Imbarro, Michael Hadsell who were so wonderful to show to, Volunteer Coordinator Lauren Walsh, and all the volunteers who dedicated their time this weekend so we could run our dogs.

Much gratitude to Lauren Walsh of Search Tall for coaching us since June and really preparing us to be our best. Your knowledge, expertise and experience has been invaluable in our learning.

April is National Canine Fitness Month

Static stands for the win! This foundation exercise involves having your dog stand still with all feet on the floor. It may look like nothing but static standing is crucial for engaging your dog’s core muscles.

How to do it:

1️⃣ After you desensitize your dog to platforms or targets, ask your dog to stand in a neutral spine position. We like using elevated platforms as they help the dog to maintain focus.

2️⃣ Check that their front legs are right under their shoulders and back legs are right under their hips. Check that their weight is evenly distributed across all legs. You may need to gently place your dog’s feet for proper alignment.

3️⃣ Hold this posture for 30 seconds, then release and repeat.

Join us for canine fitness class.

Happy Easter!!

Let talk about stationing behaviors.
Stationing involves teaching a dog to go to a specific location (a “station”) and remain there until released. This skill is valuable for managing behavior, promoting relaxation, and enriching a dog’s mental state. We like elevated platforms to train this behavior. Willow is using a lime green Klimb with a restore bed on top for extra comfort from . Stationing is great when you have multiple dogs and are working with one while the other one patiently waits. We use this behavior a lot during our canine fitness circuits. It’s also a great way to rest your dog in between exercises or training. Some other great uses are:

Behavioral Management:
Stationing helps prevent unwanted behaviors like jumping on guests or stealing food from the table by providing a designated place for the dog to be.

Relaxation and Settle:
When dogs are on their station, they are in a safe and predictable space, which can help them relax and reduce anxiety, especially in new or stressful situations like being at the vet or out in public places.

Mental Stimulation:
Stationing engages a dog’s mental focus and provides them with a sense of purpose, which can be particularly beneficial for dogs who are easily bored or have a tendency to be destructive.

Foundation Skill for Other Training:
A solid understanding of stationing can be a foundation for other cues like “stay” and “wait”.

Practical Applications:
Stationing can be useful for various everyday situations, such as when guests arrive, while eating meals, or doing vet visits.

Relationship Based Training that is Force Free, Fear Free, Pain Free

At HumaneK9 Dog Training, we feel very strongly that a successful relationship is created between dog and human by building trust and mutual understanding. We believe in and use humane training methods that enhance the communication between handler and dog.

We teach our classes using positive-reinforcement based training and encourage the use of humane "people empowering" techniques in our classes. Our positive training methods make communication possible by praising desirable behavior while ignoring or harshly correcting negative behavior. We do not employ or tolerate harsh and inhumane punishment-based methods, as we feel that this type of punishment breaks down the relationship between dog and handler and in itself, escalates aggression.
