Tricks are great! Trick is anything really, like watch me teach your dog this cool trick, they’ll look at a dog and then look at me instead of loose their minds 😂
Watch your dog shake a paw or spin around.
They can be useful or seem just for fun but they’re always good for bonding and mental stimulation and great for a winter project! Check out the Do More With Your Dog! for a ton of videos and ideas for tricks!

Check out part 1, posted yesterday.

Once you’ve created a predictable pattern for your dog. You’re probably experiencing take the treat and back to end of the leash. It’s frustrating but here’s how to fix it -
🍁walk slowly and focus on what you’re doing
🍁start rewarding at your hip and then slow down the treats so dog moves in front of you
🍁mark Yes or talk to them as they move towards the end of line BEFORE the hit it, reward when they drop back to your hip.
🍁repeat as many time as you can
🍁focus training in the yard or at the end of the walk, when distractions are low and dog has had a chance to get their energy out. You can expand it as they get better.

You’re goal is just reps without a tight line. Start in your yard and See how many you can do!

Most people have heard parts of this but it’s a whole pattern, a dance, a form of communication, there’s many parts and without all of them working together you won’t be able to get the outcome you’re looking for. I’ll post more on this later this week!

This dog is highly stressed, was never socialized and often won’t eat outside due to that. We started working on her reactions yesterday in a park with open space and she wouldn’t eat anything, we took a little sniff around and sat on a bench and just offered the food when she checked in. Boom! First win she started eating!
🎃We needed to slow down for her (sitting)
🎃then she started checking in more and more, we got a sit eventually, offered to us! Yay!
💥then we saw a dog, I was able to@move her to maintain space, continue feeding her and have almost no reaction 🎉🎉🎉 lots of looks and attention back to me, TOTALLY WINNING!!

Don’t underestimate the simplest training. Simple js good! 🎉

Bed or place is a great cue but it needs to built in stages. Check out part 1 for the go-to part bc that’s where everyone should start. Once you have the go to then you can start layering in Duration, Distance and distractions. ONE at a time!!

Always working to your dogs level of success not pushing them to fail. If they’re struggling go back to where they were successful and wrk there for 3 days to a week.

Park walks > neighborhood walks every time!!

Better for you and the dog! More enjoyable and relaxing as they should be. It’s not about steps it’s about sniffs!
Park walks are better because
🌳the offer more decompression, space from triggers.
🌳more interesting and different sniffs to mentally stimulate the dog
🌳wider variety of stimuli at a distance you can work comfortably Or Avoid.
🌳nature is good for you.

Bed or place is a useful cue. I know there’s some controversy about it around but I’m all for it when taught and used properly!

Bed/place give the dog a clear alternative behavior and a resting spot to default to. It’s useful in tons of situations from dinner time to answering the door.

Your starting point maybe obvious but it’s just reaching the dog to go to the bed, mat, crate or spot on cue.
🏁lure them on and say “bed”. Or “place” whichever you plan to use. Repeat until they start to go easier
🏁start saying bed / place and pointing - don’t get the treat until after they’re on! Now you rewarded!
Work on this repeatedly for small amounts of time until it’s fluid and easy then build distance that you send them without walking too!

More on that in a later post! Do me solid - Like, follow, share & save.
