All-In-One Canine Training

12/07/2021

All-In-One Canine Training is concluding our team-based trainer partnership. Although we, Bill and Maleah, achieved some amazing results with their innovative approach, the geographical challenges of two trainers working in tandem in all aspects of the program throughout the Puget Sound area was untenable. We will continue to cooperate and work together to ensure our clients receive the best training and education available to meet their goals. Bill will continue evaluations, consultations, private lessons and the Board and Train Program at his facility in Poulsbo while Maleah will be utilizing a mobile platform to conduct Evaluations, Consultations, Private Lesson and a Day Training program on the West side of the Puget Sound in and around Snohomish County. We wish to thank all our clients for entrusting us in helping them achieve a better relationship with their beloved dogs. We will continue to strive to enhance the human-canine bond and continue our passion for training and behavior modification moving forward.

Puff’s housemate Koda came to us for some work on independence as he was totally dependent on Puff’s direction in life. He came a long way in 2 weeks and is integrated back into the home with Puff now.

Here’s Puff! His biggest issues were barking and marking however we discovered he also bossed his housemate around. We put him in a lot of scenarios to learn better behaviors and had a lot of fun with him. He is doing great back home now too.

Yet again I’m late to posting a recent board and train dog. Dax was with us for two weeks to learn some basic manners and help with his fearfulness. I so wish we had a video of when he first got to our place as he was very unsure. Dax is a cane corso/ kelpie mix and is very true to both the breeds natures.
In a simple situation of a delivery vehicle pulling into the driveway, we watched Dax constantly processing and calculating what to do. From wanting to guard and protect the yard (corso) to trying to flee from pressure of the unknown situation (kelpie). Dax had quite an even split in tendencies between his two breeds and that’s actually quite uncommon to have! He was a fun and unique dog to work with. See some of his work below!

And this is a big reason why we greet everyone in the driveway versus at the front door🤣

Our dogs know “quiet” and we teach training dogs the command as well, however breed, especially natural protective, tendencies are in 3 of the 5 personal dogs here. And teaching a training dog to be quiet is incredibly difficult when they have 3 other dogs telling them “no go ahead and join in! This is our house!!”

Hiro is a shiba inu - a primitive spitz breed. They tend to be very non-biddable meaning they don’t care for human companionship and leadership. This makes our job of using relationship based techniques very difficult.

On top of that, Hiro is barely 18 months old and was already biting (and drawing blood) over things he decides to pick up and possess. And so his 2 week training turned into 3 weeks.

Most dogs that come to us begin bonding with us within 24-72 hours. Hiro took 12 days.

While we provided him with a new way of living, the new “rules” can’t be pushed fast as he would perceive this as unfair and never want to work with us.

We spent day after day working the same foundations over and over until we started to see him opening up and then really began our work on providing tools the owners can use to keep everyone in the household safe.

Here is Rosie! She is a 5 month old golden retriever puppy. Her owners implemented some great management for her so she isn’t learning bad behaviors and we took her to advance her training further.

With retriever puppies we teach a concept called “trade”. We see many retrievers with possession aggression and this often stems from how they were interacted with as puppies. Exploring with their mouths, they are always picking things up so we make it much more rewarding and fun for the dog to bring items to us.

See Rosie’s progress below!👇

I am beyond late in posting this but hey better late then never! This is Charley the doodle who went home last week. His owners are incredibly committed to his success and studied their paperwork and notes religiously while Charley was with us. He came in for possession (and biting others) over his female owner as well as some odd behaviors. He would go off at things like the vacuum, fly zapper, cocktail shaker among other things. Originally being easily redirected, as he progressed in formal training, he was not in other areas which led us to believe he had something off in his brain. His triggers are still there in his mind (so he continued lunging and barking) even if they physically aren’t there anymore. We put in an incredible amount of work to help his owners manage these odd tendencies as well as teaching everyone a new way to communicate. Here’s some of his progress!!

Puff is such a fun, energetic little dog!

Some education of helping puppies teeth develop properly. Giving bones and chews at this time is also very important to help any wiggly teeth work their way out.
