Why Dog Obedience Training is a Game-Changer! 🐾✨ #dog #dogtrainer #traineddogs #dogtraining #dogs
Hildy is a very sweet and friendly dog. She wants to say hi to everybody she sees, pretty much everywhere. She also has overexcitement issues.Why is this a problem?Hildy needs to learn that not every human or dog wants her to be in their personal space. This can be a matter of safety around other dogs or people who are afraid of dogs.In this case, I’m advocating for the public.It also helps her overexcitement by practicing neutrality around strangers.It’s good manners for her to learn that invitation is more appropriate than invasion.I do this by giving her a loose leash and recalling her back to me every single time she assumes she can greet someone and I praise her everytime she comes back to follow me.As you can see in the end she was understanding the exercise by turning herself around to come back to me before hitting the end of the leash!Side note: If someone were to ask to “say hi”, I would have said “Sorry No, I’m actually working on her excitement around strangers, but thanks for asking”Questions!? Ask in the comments!

I’m so grateful for people who innovate like the folks behind @swiftpaws_officialIt used to be that you had to live near a dog sports facility that had lure coursing available.Now all you need is this set up and some yard space or even a public park.One sad thing I often see are comments on swift paws social media talking about how “lazy” this is and how disengaged the owners are for wanting to use a toy like this.These comments couldn’t be more MISGUIDED!Hildy’s Mom has mobility issues and Hildy is a young dog with quite the prey drive. Because of Mom’s disabilities, Hildy is unfulfilled most days, which causes her to have a lot of extra pent up energy.Here’s where I come in with my handy swift paws set up! Within a few minutes I can easily provide Hildy a healthy and safe way for her to practice chasing & hunting.Chase sessions are intense but short and are enough to keep her pretty cooked for the next few hours!I highly recommend this toy to anyone that has a high prey drive dog with an interest in chasing things (leaves, balls, squirrels, birds, etc) and adding a bit of structure to it.If you’re in the Gainesville, FL area this is an exclusive client perk!So contact me if you need help fulfilling your dog!

There are many different methods that trainers use when a dog breaks a place command.To be clear about what I’m referring to, It’s when a dog gets off the place cot without being invited off.For me, there are two main ways I’ll deal with that and which method I use highly depends on the dog and the owner’s needs.Method 1 - Simply ask the dog to get back on. Everytime the dog gets off, let them. Give them the opportunity to make the mistake that way you have the opportunity to reinforce the place command. Eventually you won’t have to use the leash to direct them back on the place bed.Method 2 - Before your dog gets off, you use your body to apply spatial or psychological pressure in order to correct them and get them back onto the place bed. Eventually what happens is as soon as they get up and you come forward they will correct themselves and stay on.In both methods I will say “Yes” and “No” so that we can further establish what I do want vs what I don’t want.I find both methods to work excellently and it really depends on the owner and dog’s specific situation as to which method I recommend.There’s no “right” way! This is just how I do it.Do you practice place work with your dog?

One thing I will always advocate for is pool safety for dogs!One day Candace fell in our pool, panicked and didn’t know how to get out.I spent weeks desensitizing her and associating the pool with good things like treats, praise and calmness.Candace never loved swimming, but she learned that the pool was nothing to be afraid of.👏🏼One thing I used to do was pick her up and place her in a random spot in the pool, and guide her to the exit from the outside. That’s what you see in this video.If you own a pool and a dog, I highly recommend spending the time to teach them pool safety!Any questions leave them below!CONTACT ME 📲📧 if you need help with your 🐶 Virtual sessions available if you aren’t local!JP’s Dog Fulfillment and Training Services Educating owners & Fulfilling dogs in Gainesville, FL

One of my absolute JOYS of being a trainer comes from when my VIRTUAL clients have just as much success as my in person clients!I worked with Hendrix’s Mom to get to the root cause of his reactivity: nervousness due to low self confidence.So her homework is to expose him to the world out there and provide more mental stimulation and challenges in his day. All of this while improving overall leadership skills and nurturing a healthy attachment.And you can see the progress so far! Being able to be on “place”, in a calm relaxed state of mind, in public, with a major distraction (excited, charging dog)I’m SO PROUD! 👏👏👏🥹If you are out of my service area and you need help with your dog, CONTACT ME so we can set up a virtual training session. 9w

If you want to bike with your dog you need to read this … 🫢It is so important to keep you and your dog safe while riding, so here are a few tips that I have used while doing bike rides with dogs!-Master walking first! If your dog doesn’t follow you on walks, and is not used to following rules and boundaries, then bike riding just won’t work, unless your intentions are to have them tow you! -A very important rule while walking should be “no crossing over in front of me”. Once you are able to communicate this with your leash handling, you can communicate this easier while on a bike. -Start very slow! As you can see in this video, I am not leaving the driveway with Remy here. I ride as slow as i can and i start making small circles so she learns to yield to the bike -In the beginning I use one hand to ride and one hand to lead the dog on leash. Once I’m comfortable that the dog understands the flow of movement, I can relax a little bit and use 2 hands -Go at the dog’s pace until they gradually get more comfortable running alongside the bike. Depending on the dog, I will only increase speed with little to no distractions -I like to make sure I feel the leash either in my hand or around my arm at all times, because if I feel any pressure in the leash, I am immediately breaking for safety. -In my opinion, the safest leash you can use for bike riding is the slip lead. Collars can slip off and I don’t think head halters are necessaryAre you able to bike ride with your dog?If you found these tips helpful, share the video with your other dog loving friends! 😁JP’s Dog Fulfillment and Training Services Educating owners & Fulfilling dogs in Gainesville, FL
