Leash Walking with New Distractions

Do you have a reactive dog and need to get them used to new environmental distractions? 

[darkwood-sleddog]

Can the balanced dog trainers please stop fucking talking about positive reinforcement as if those dogs are not “obedience trained”? A majority of competition obedience dogs I know were trained with R+. Letting your dog wander on the end of a line because you want to do so does not = untrained. It is simply…a choice.

Things the vet office staff wish you would stop doing:

Please don’t take your dog off the leash in the lobby for any reason ever (including to put them on the scale!).

Never EVER yank on your dog’s leash to get their attention. Pulling on a leash the wrong way can very easily do permanent damage to your dog’s neck and windpipe, not to mention their trust in you. Always use your words first, then gently guide them where you want them to be using encouragement. Use your body to block them from unwelcome distractions.

Never force your dog towards someone they don’t know. You’re the owner. Enforce that strangers must get low and let your dog come to them first. If they’re forced into situations they’re unsure of, the likelihood that they will growl or bite is greatly increased. So is their anxiety.

Don’t hover at the counter if you are not checking in or out.

Don’t expect to call or walk in and demand to speak to your veterinarian. You can leave a message and they will get back to you. Even within the hospital, the doctor’s time is fiercely guarded and all matters are triaged by their vet assistant before it’s decided to interrupt the veterinarian (most things don’t make the cut).

Expect to wait 3-5 business days for refill requests to be approved. See rule number five.

If your appointment was a drop-off, please please try to resist the temptation to call and check and see how your pet is doing. The assistant will call you when they can. Ironically this is the number two thing that causes interruptions at crucial times during treatment.

The number one reason that hospitals run behind is because clients are late (and often expect outsized accommodation because of how difficult it was to get the animal to the hospital compared to their normal routine). We really do try to remain flexible, but if your appointment is only 30 minutes and you’re 15 minutes late, most clinics will require you to reschedule because we can’t provide you adequate care in that time. Similarly, if you’re scheduled to pick up at 1:30 and you arrive at 3:00, expect to wait longer. The technician had time to explain Fluffy’s diagnosis to you at 1:30; at 3:00, they’re supposed to be in a room with another client.

Remember that your pet is almost certainly not ‘misbehaving’ out of spite. They are just acting according to their nature, which is sometimes incongruous with the expectations that we put on them. They have different priorities than we do. Your best bet is to work with their nature and give them a lot of grace. Scolding is the least effective way to change behavior.

My biggest downfall as a dog trainer and dog owner is cooperative care.

I love it in concept. I teach it to all my clients and really want Marvel to have a foundation in it. I think it's super important.

But the truth is. I really hate actually doing it. I thrive on training things where I see results easily. And even most B-mod I get that because i can see even the tiny results. But cooperative care I just find so slow, and I'm not good at actually doing it. I really struggle to work it into our training schedule because I just dont want to do it. This is 100% a me problem and I know that!

Pet tax for those who read my little rant.

Yall I was able to get back into school this month and I’m studying to be a CBATI-KA through Grisha Stewart. I was halfway through but had to stop because of funds and I’m so freaking happy to have it back

I made another post a bit back about Superboy abusin' Krypto, an' it got a lotta people upset. An' I'd just like ta' say that I was right an' everyone who said otherwise was wrong, an' I'm gonna talk about that whenever I feel like it. Superboy in the Silver Age is a terrible dog owner.

I think it's really important to remember that many of the behaviors that we see as "problematic" are perfectly natural behaviors for dogs, and that many of the things that we ask them to do such as walking in a straight line beside us are unnatural and hard asks for them! This is why it's so important to take the time to teach dogs what we are asking for with compassion, and remember that while these tasks may seem simple to us, they are a lot for them! In addition to this, when training a new behavior to replace natural behaviors, that we give them other ways to fulfill that need or better yet, come to a compromise that works for both.

For example when teaching a loose leash walk, I want the dog to keep the leash loose, and I don't want them stepping right in front of my feet (for safety), but I'm happy to have them sniff plenty, walk ahead of me, and cross sides safely. I tailor my criteria to teach this so that I can walk comfortably, their joints are kept safe, and they still get to do all of those doggy things!

The Power of Positive Reinforcement: Why It Works for Dog Training

If you want to train your dog, you want to use methods that work and help you bond with your dog. Positive reinforcement is one way that works and can help owners and their furry friends form a strong bond. Because she runs her own company and specializes in positive reinforcement dog training, Jessica L. Fisher knows a lot about this power. Instead of punishing destructive behaviors, like sitting when told to or walking quietly on a leash, this method focuses on rewarding good ones. This examines why positive reinforcement works so well for training dogs.

What is Positive Reinforcement Dog Training?

Training using positive reinforcement is a method of training dogs when a trained dog is rewarded with praise for a well-done job. Unlike punishment and all those negative ways of doing it, positive reinforcement uses rewards and creates good associations to alter dangerous behaviours. Consequently, using treats, praise, or toys to bowl over good behaviour is one of these features. Dogs get their reward when they do something you want them to do, such as being in the position you ask them to, just like when they sit when you ask. Such correlations are more likely to affect the degree of their relationship. This way of positive reinforcement dog training forms a strong bond between the owner and their dog as they spend a lot of time together learning new tricks.

Why Does Positive Reinforcement Work?

Creates a Stronger Bond

You and your pet friend become closer when you give your dog treats for being good. When your dog learns to associate you with good things, it becomes more eager to please you.

Motivates Learning

Dogs like us will help you by using treats. Jessica L. Fisher believes that getting your dog to learn new ways and tricks is possible by being very generous with treats and praise. When you train your dog using positive reinforcement, your job becomes delightful, which makes them more interested in learning.

Builds Confidence

Your dog's trust is increased by positive reinforcement. They feel good about their abilities and more confident when they complete an action and get rewarded.

Reduces Stress and Fear

Training your dog with punishments can make it afraid and stressed, which can hurt your relationship with your pet. When you use positive reinforcement, your dog will feel safe and secure, which makes the training setting good.

Encourages Good Behavior Choices

With positive reinforcement, dogs learn to do the right thing. If they know that doing certain things will benefit them, they are likelier to do those things instead of doing bad things.

I think it says a lot about a dog trainer when they put themselves on their logo.

And what it makes me say is: no thank you

[marvelthesuperlab]

I cannot stress enough how much I do not care how good your dogs off leash skills or recall are. If it is a leashed area (public fields, sidewalks, etc). Keep your dog on leash.

End of story.
