5 Tips to Get the People in Your Life to Help Train Your Dog

12/29/2015

0 Comments

 
People always comment to me that I’m training them and not just their dogs. This is true and it is one of the most important skills a pet dog trainer can utilize. Once you understand dogs and are able to understand their communication, dog training becomes relatively easy. Training people is the same way, but the communication and motivation aspects are much more complex.  
​
As you rehabilitate your dog or teach them simple manners, you will come to find that the dog might be ready to learn, but the other people in your life will be far more difficult to train than your dog.

The Art of Play - How to Effectively and Safely Play With Your Dog

12/17/2015

0 Comments

 
The other evening, I had the opportunity to work with a rambunctious dog that loved to play – almost a little too much.  

He gets so excited he starts to mouth his owners. As he gets MORE excited, the mouthing turns to biting. This excitement, if harnessed and directed, can be a lot of fun; however, if people don’t know what to do with this, you suddenly have a dog that is breaking skin and kids that are afraid of their new family member.  

Playing with your dog is an intimate activity that is very important to your dog and also to your relationship with your dog. If you do it wrong, you can cause problems. And if you don’t do it all, you’re not fulfilling all of your dog’s needs.

Here are a few tips for successful play with your dog:

11 Steps to Improve Leash Aggression

12/8/2015

One of the biggest things I see in the world of dogs is dogs who blow up at other dogs when they are on leash. They aren’t necessarily aggressive with dogs in all situations, but their lunging, barking and pulling towards other dogs is certainly unacceptable behavior that needs to be addressed.

Leash aggression (or leash reactivity as it is often called) is an incredibly frustrating thing for you and your dog to live with. It makes enjoying your dog a very difficult task and the responsibility is on you to solve it. You don’t have to live this way and it is important as a pack leader and a dog owner to take this unnecessary stress away from your dog.
​

While quick fixes aren’t always an option for your leash aggressive dog, here are some tips to start solving the problem:

Bandit: Video Update

12/1/2015

​When Bandit started here at AWDT, he was one of the worst runners / door dashers with one of the highest prey drives I have seen in a while.

Until now, as soon as he was able to get loose, he would bolt and not look back, leaving the owners waiting for someone to call with their found dog. Bandit truly earned his name by stealing his freedom and living life one squirrel chase at a time.

With two weeks here and a future of practice and controlled freedom, Bandit won't have to steal his squirrel chasing time anymore.

Here's what he looks like now
