hi!! what was the name of that dog trainer(s?) you mentioned watching before getting hugo? i'm considering a puppy and want to be able to train this little dude like a boss TIA :]
omg I was watching McCann Dogs!! I watched so so so much of their training vids before bringing Hugo home + during his puppyhood and it helped so much. these are some of the ones that I really Studied early on to give me a blueprint of how to start from ground zero w my boy
#it was good to have goalposts for the first couple months#and the ones where they take you through the first day of bringing a puppy home were amazingly helpful#they're also the reason why i was able to crate train hugo#sergle answers#it is nice to have it broken down bc it feels like there's so much to learn but when they're babies you're really doing like#very foundational skills and it's lots of simple repetition and it's super rewarding#having them learn their response to name and learning what Yes means (or the clicker if you do clicker training)#bc if they know their name and they know Yes then learning everything else is easier#it feels really really good to teach all the skills w positive reinforcement

overeager slutpuppy reader and dog trainer Ghost is all i can think about tbh
#featuring obedience training muzzling collaring walks humiliation#“bad puppy”#old school dog trainer Simon who uses negative reinforcement and no love#but just try to bite the hand that feeds you puppy and you'll be back on the streets in no time#UGH#pet play but diabolical#“no dogs on the furniture”#crate training#spending your “good” days kneeling by his feet as he pets your head#calls you puppy so much you forget your own name

thoughts constantly oscillating between “omg I can’t believe in less than one week I will have puppy” and “omg I can’t believe I have less than one week before months of exhaustion and terror”
#what are the odds the 8.5 week old puppy sleeps straight through the night and is crate trained#bc baby Stellina was and it’s ruined me forever

Living with a shiba is no different than living with a velociraptor. (Sound on)
#leia organa#dog#puppy#shiba inu#video#sound on#shiba scream#velociraptor#sin pin#she jump#puppy tantrum#that’s pippa’s big pen that’s like a fancy industrial outdoor cat pen my grandma bought and never used#so it’s like over six feet tall in the front and back and maybe like four feet on the sides?#it has more panels but it’s smaller right now to try to get Pippa not to pee in it as much#leia is in there because she and Pippa got into a fight over a toy so they both are in different kennels for time out and to cool down#this is also why I couldn’t crate train her because she’d do this from 12am to 6am straight#like ma’am I have neighbors I share walls with#last time she was in this pen she figured out how to use the latch after about 20 minutes#you can see how she can jump on my dining room table and destroy all my things with that vertical leap

This is the closest she has gotten to sleeping outside of her crate.
#I’m really trying to get her to settle out of her crate but I just can’t seem to get it#when I do manage to reward her for being calm (rare) she gets up as soon as she eats a treat#we’ll get there at some point#I hope#little miss thistle#dogblr#australian shepherd#aussie puppy#blue merle#11 months#training challenges with thistle

just a babby
#it's only been a week and he's already learned that screaming at us gets him nothing#he still screams when we leave the house without him#but he doesn't yell at bedtime or when we put him away while we eat dinner or whatever#we are working on crate training and not yelling when he hears the door opening#dogblr#puppy#belgian tervuren#velocirapterv

Little man is going home tomorrow and I think we are both very ready to be back to our usual routines 😅
#he’s so cute#but such a busy body#and he’s discovering he has teeth and likes to use them#add on no bite inhibition development yet and… ouch#but his crate training went really well this week#as did his obedience work! no longer needing a lure for his downs#puppies are so fun to train#it’s a shame living with them makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and cry

i hate dog owners actually
#as a dog owner#i gneuinely hate other dog owners and if someone tells me they own a dog i assume theyre a control freak or toxic as fuck#go on r/dogs and youll have a real fun time !!#even more toxic than feminist subreddits#theyre either super abusive or theyre extremely neglectful#literally just came across a post on reddit about someone complaining bc theyre puppy they got ONE DAY EARLIER#'doesnt eat; doesnt like the crate; pees and poops everywhere in the house; bites evrything; never leaves them alone;#like wholeheartedly i think you should be banned from owning any animal at all#even a spider in your bathroom#and then tail docking; ear cropping; extreme training (bodyguard training.)

I haven’t really posted about this but I’m in the process of getting a dog training, walking, and pet sitting business of the ground. So naturally I’m in the trenches battling against imposter syndrome.
I have a couple of pet sitting clients and one puppy I’m training so far. I had originally discussed a 6 week time-frame for basic puppy training. Tomorrow is the 6th lesson but it’s been a couple weeks since I worked with the puppy’s family. So I texted the mom today to check in and I told her that I wanted to set aside some time tomorrow to discuss the puppy’s progress.
She responded, “Can we continue after 6 lessons?” And I reassured her that we could, and I just wanted to talk about where we were at and set goals for moving forward. She said she was relieved, since my first message had her worried!
Anyway, I’m feeling torn between A) Hooray they want more training! They’re happy with the service! And B) But shouldn’t I have solved their issues by now? Am I failing because I gave them a six week estimate and now they want more training?
I genuinely am not sure which voice to listen to. The puppy has made some good progress on potty training, and she went from barking and biting the crate bars to completely crate trained. We’ve done a fair bit of work on impulse control and reinforcing calm behavior. It’s a family with lots of small kids so a lot of their issues come down to either management or the parents not having enough time to practice with the puppy or struggling to be consistent. So on the one hand, I think the puppy is doing well for such a difficult environment but also I’m terrified that I’m taking advantage of these folks somehow?
Idk part of me wishes my first client was a bit more straight forward. Like, puppy raising is very much my wheelhouse but figuring out how to manage expectation and get results in a busy house with young kids is very much not.
#dog training#puppy’s current big issue is jumping on the kids while they’re eating and stealing their food#I’ve started training a place cue on her bed in the kitchen so I think that will be the focus for tomorrow#as well as reminding them to use the crate if they’re unable to train at mealtimes

time for my monthly “my dog is the best dog” post
He’ll be one on Monday!
#kaladin puppy#borzoi mix#he’s matured soooooo much this last month#he crates himself when he’s sleepy (he’ll lightly nap on the bed then hop down into his crate for a full nap)#and he’s gotten si good at ‘you can sniff but you cant eat it’ even with like. raw meat when we’re cooking#which i think is a lot to ask of a puppy who is taller than the table and level with the food on the counter#he can still be nutso on walks bc he gets too excited when he sees his friends#but hes gotten WAY better at sitting politely to the side when people and strollers etc pass#even tho we’ve been slacking on training bc of life stuff#he’s such a joy :’)

"Uhhh violence never the answer it's childish to start fights" it's also childish to refuse any and all criticism and expect everyone around you to bend over backwards to accommodate your every fucking whim and never do the same in return. If YOU make YOURSELF impossible to have a mature conversation with, people are going to stop trying.
#also again her and grandma's negligence resulted in my dad getting mauled by HER dog but we don’t get to be mad about that? fuck off#your dog is going to be euthanized. this will happen again with the wrong fucking person and they will press charges and your dog will die.#and I know for a FACT if either of our dogs had done anything even close to what hers did she would have flipped her shit#and now because she can't handle the bare minimum responsibilities of a dog owner our dogs are traumatized.#dad got hurt trying to separate her dog from Ghost(our aussie) bc he has no socialization skills and wouldn't leave Ghost tf alone#and then a day after THAT Ghost attacked Elphie (our corgi) bit her head and flipped her on her back. drew blood.#so because my aunt refuses to train her fucking dog now Ghost is triggered by the dog he has lived with his entire life#and has never EVER had issues with her! he has some excitability issues but he has NEVER been aggressive and has always deffered to Elphie#she's always been the one in charge. he's playful and friendly and has never instigated anything all 3 years of his life prior to this.#I am so fucking mad dog training is not just for the owner's convenience it's so your animal and other animals/people can be SAFE#they have a 2 year old and an 8 year old in that house a dog like this is a hazard. And to be clear I am not blaming the animal.#he is being neglected. they refuse to train him so they obviously can't manage his behavior so he just gets locked in his crate#which sucks for any animal but especially a year and a half old puppy who wants to play so he just sits in there and barks for fucking HOURS#it just sucks! I'm mad! He's a sweet dog but he has no self regulation skills so he's way too reactive! hes gonna bite one of the kids or a#stranger or another dog and then he won't have any chance to improve because he will be euthanized.

junebug slept in her crate with the door open for the first time in checks watch three years this morning. progress is being made.
#what they dont tell you about crate training your puppy is how hard it is to undo Lol#i love that shes crate trained. but the second she starts falling asleep anywhere else she starts crying and begging me to put her in crate.#and she cant just go in on her own. she wont lay down until i lock the door for her.
