Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

The weather is beginning to get warmer and every year we ALWAYS have to remind people not to leave your pets in the car. If you can't take them inside the store- please leave them at home. I had to argue with a dog's owner who left their pet in the car in 80 degree weather -(IN A VET CLINIC parking lot when she was picking up dog food. No. Just no! Keep your pets safe so you don't end up at an emergency clinic! ~Rachel

🐾 Dog training as an everyday task means integrating training into regular activities rather than viewing it as a single session event. For instance, consider teaching a dog to not jump on guests when they arrive. Every time someone comes to your door, you need to reinforce this behavior by having your dog sit calmly before they get attention. This might involve practicing with various visitors and using treats or praise to reward calm behavior.

Similarly, leash training is an ongoing process. Each walk is an opportunity to practice proper leash manners. If your dog starts to pull, you stop walking and wait for them to return to your side before continuing. This daily repetition teaches your dog that pulling doesn’t get them where they want to go faster.

Even at home, everyday activities like waiting for permission to go outside, sitting before meals, or playing without biting all require constant reinforcement. By consistently applying these training principles in various contexts, you ensure that your dog understands and adheres to the desired behaviors as a part of their daily routine.
