“Leave it” is a very important cue for dogs to learn for many reasons. Leia learned what it means in just a few tries. We started with treats, once she understood that, we asked her to leave the dropped paper towel and in the video, she left the sock (her favorite), then went to my treat pouch, but left that too. She will continue to practice this outside as well. As I always say to the humans, don’t overuse a cue or it loses its meaning. If your dog is going for something that is potentially dangerous or is important to you, then ask her to leave it, if not, just let her have it. Good job, Leia!

It was a pleasure meeting Leia and her humans! We are focusing on setting up patterns of predictability for Leia to decrease her anxiety. Adding some fun, dog centric games and affordance walk will put her in the right path. .

Barkley is a herding dog x guardian breed mix. She’s a great girl, but needs some help understanding her role in the family. Dogs have instincts that need to be acknowledged and utilized in ways that are helpful, not problematic. Teaching Barkley how to react to people, other dogs and disorganization (a struggle for herding dogs), will help her navigate life. Her dedicated humans are sure to give her the structure and direction she needs!

We don’t want Dart to dart out of the door. Learning to “wait” while his humans open the door can prevent disaster. Great work Dart!

Some tips for your pup on Halloween…🎃costumes are adorable, but many dogs don’t like wearing them. Please, if your dog is not enjoying wearing a costume, just take it off. A simple TY tag is sufficient and shouldn’t bother your pup 🎃 Decorations are awesome, but many dogs are afraid, especially of the large ones that scream and move (humans are too😄). Please avoid taking your dog near these 🎃please keep all candy out of reach from your pup. Chocolate is toxic for dogs and wrappers and hard candies can get lodged in a dog’s airway. 🎃And let’s chat about the doorbells…putting a bowl of candy on your front step will prevent all the bell ringing…and barking and quick escapes. Hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween!🎃 👻💀

How many toys should my puppy have? This is a question I get asked often. My response is, your puppy should have lots of chew toys, some tug toys, squeaky toys, balls, etc. However, they should not all be out at the same time. Keeping some of the toys out of sight and rotating which ones are available keeps your puppy interested in his toys. Nelson has a nice selection to choose from!

This sweet girl, Dolly, is a rescue. She was a puppy mill breeder for most of her 6 years, so it’s completely understandable that she has some issues. Giving Dolly some love, structure, joy and agency will help her learn to trust her humans, adjust to a schedule and most importantly, have a joyful, wonderful life!

Coco, the smaller dog, has a great deal of anxiety. She is very fearful of unfamiliar humans, dogs and surroundings. In addition to working with a veterinary behaviorist, we are working on letting Coco tell us when she is not comfortable and allowing her to go where she feels safe. In this scenario, I’m simply tossing treats and letting her come outside and retreat inside when she’s had enough. After about 15 minutes, she felt safe enough to stay outside and walk next to me. Giving her agency allows her to feel safe and to understand she won’t be forced to do things that are too difficult for her to handle. Dealing with anxious dog requires patience, support and realistic expectations for that dog.

I worked with Charlie when she was a baby. Now she’s all grown up and beautiful! Just going to work on some excitability during her walks. Teaching her and her humans some distraction games until she learns she doesn’t need to pull her humans down to say “hi” to her friends.

And I like to jump on people and kiss their faces and bark and chase squirrels and rip the window screens and bark my head off when I’m walking and I see some dogs…oh boy! Lisa gave my humans some tips to help give me more affordances and help me tone down my BIG behaviors. I’m a good boy, I just need some tweaking😆🐶
