We understand this feeling and can help you feel peace again.

I tell my clients that 90% of puppy training is your mindset and your emotions. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Here are a few tips to help you:
โ€ข Be in the moment. Thinking too much about frustrating past behavior and how it will happen again in the future will bring too much stress into your life.
โ€ข When you get frustrated, taking a break is okay. Itโ€™s okay to go ahead and put your puppy in his crate.
โ€ข Changing your thoughts is paramount to success and can affect your progress. Thoughts that offer curiosity, wonder, and flexibility are best.
โ€ข Recognize that changing behavior takes time. Celebrate even the smallest victories!
โ€ข Get help. If you are struggling with this, talk with friends that are positive and can help you see gratitude and happiness in your life. It might also be helpful to train your puppy with friends.

Of course, we can help you, too!

Patty came to me with Diego, a Golden Retriever Mix. She was very stressed because Diego had so much energy. But her biggest problem was getting Diego in the car. He was scared!

To help Diego, we did a technique called treat and retreat.

As he walked toward the car willingly, we would give Diego a treat. Then we would immediately turn around and allow him to retreat away from the car. ๐Ÿพ

We took our time and repeated the process.

Diego slowly became comfortable near the car, then with the car door open, then grabbing a treat from the doorway, and then... well, check out the short video below!

โ€œWe were very pleased with our experience with Johanna. She really knows the psychology behind behavior issues in dogs as well as the problems it can cause within a household. Her approach is very comprehensive, positive, and she is a kind and caring individual. I now feel that I have the tools I need to manage my dogโ€™s issues and help her feel safe and secure.โ€
-- E. Smother

How many of us have dogs that we compare to other dogs or to a past dog that we have owned?

Your dog needs to be honored for who he is and not for who you want him to be. He is who he is and he is not someone else. KEEP IT SIMPLE. ๐Ÿ‘„

As you listen to and work with your dogโ€™s needs, you will both feel more at peace and his behavior will change. Sure, it will take time and patience, but it's so worth it!

Puppies generally bite for two reasons. One, they are in pain from teething, and two, because they want attention.

For pain, the simplest solution is to give your puppy frozen toys. I personally like to freeze a Kong with peanut butter or almond butter inside. ๐Ÿฅœ

When you are petting your puppy, they bite because they want attention. Stop petting your puppy when he bites you. If you keep petting, you are rewarding him. Resume petting after your puppy stops biting.

"I love Four Legged Scholars. Before they came, Max didn't know how to sit for anything. He kept pulling on the leash when we went for walks on our road. He also kept not waiting when we tried to take him out - he would bolt out. Now he sits and waits for the leash to get it put on him."
- R. Downey

For example, if your dog gets excited when he sees the leash, reward your dog only when he remains calm. If your dog is pulling to get out the door, reward for being calm when wearing the leash while standing at the door.

Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends - but it can also be a very hectic day and stressful for your dog.

Thanksgiving also coincides with an increase in emergency vet visits across the U.S. due to the extra, often unsafe โ€œhumanโ€ food that dogs end up consuming at this time of year.

Here are some foods that it is safe to feed your dog:
โ€ข sweet potatoes, plain
โ€ข potatoes, plain
โ€ข green beans/carrots/peas, raw or plainly cooked
โ€ข turkey meat, plain with no bones or skin
โ€ข pumpkin or plain canned pure pumpkin puree

Journaling over a period of weeks or months about your dogโ€™s behavior and training will help you see how it changes and improves over time.๐Ÿ“…

Itโ€™s easy to see a bad day as a setback in your progress, but it's important to see the bigger picture.

You can also journal your answers to questions such as:
โ€ข What was my dogโ€™s behavior like a _____ (year, month, etc.) ago?
โ€ข What is my dogโ€™s behavior like this _____ (month, week)?
โ€ข How has my dogโ€™s behavior improved?
โ€ข What training methods have been working with my dog?
โ€ข How can I appreciate my dog more?
โ€ข How can I express gratitude towards my dog and the progress that we have made together?

Bradley came to me with a hyper border collie named Leo. Because he started training so young, we were able to channel his puppyโ€™s energy into commands and learning instead of destruction.

He loved how Leo learned how to respond so well to sit, down and target. Target was one his favorites. Target is getting your dog to touch your hand on command.

Bradley used Target with Leo to do the following:
โ€ข Move his dog into an exact position instead of having to grab his collar
โ€ข Teach Leo to follow him during leash walks
โ€ข Redirect Leo off of smells and get his attention

Our dog training course fun, and both Bradley and Leo enjoyed the positive reinforcement training experience.
