Remy has considerable fear of other dogs. If left unaddressed, as she matures, she will become even more fearful and potentially dangerous around other dogs. Here she is introduced to an entirely neutral dog so we can help her "re-learn" her native language and teach her that other dogs are nothing to be afraid of.

Young puppies have a very small window of opportunity for socialization in it's classic sense, and what happens in this time frame profoundly affects what they become as adult dogs.

As trainers, we want these interactions to be positive and to be a helpful influence in a young dogs emotional growth. Bella will be exposed to mature adult dogs throughout her training, to help her overcome her fears. We deliberately do not allow her to interact with dogs of the same behavioral age range, simply because exposing her to bolder, more confident puppies is likely to reinforce her fear, due to their lack of self control and confident play styles.

Remy has a little bit of "stranger danger" and is inclined to urinate out of excitement or submission. We encourage bold, curious behavior, and are mindful of how we interact with very young dogs.

It is important for Bella to have positive experiences with strangers in order to help her overcome her fear, and become an outgoing confident adult dog.

This is the first session with electronic collar training for this dog and her kennelmate. The reasons owners choose an electronic collar for training are pretty varied: the dog may be resistant to training using more traditional methods, the owner is physically incapacitated and the electronic collar leverages their control over a larger, faster animal, or they wish to enforce behaviors without creating conflict. Either way, there are several things people need to understand about how to introduce an electronic collar to a dog, and this is generally how we start.

This is a great tactic to help your dog learn to keep his feet on the floor and off of your guests, or you! This technique is especially helpful if you live alone, or are affected by the pandemic.

There's a lot more going on in this video than people will ever see. A dog with an uncertain future, from a tragic past, learning how to respond instead of react, and to trust, for probably the first time in his life.

He had passed through several homes after being scraped off the streets of Philly, run through a series of "training" that produced suspicion and even more defensive fear.

Countless redirected aggression on the humans around him, pronounced aggression in the presence of other dogs, and extraordinary predatory behavior towards other animals.

This is "nothing" to some people.

This is 14 weeks of hard labor getting a dog to understand that not all humans are bad and nobody wants to kill him.

Doing the work. Day in and day out. Practicing the metronome of predictability and adhering to the tedium of doing the same boring things, day in and day out.

This dogs' prognosis went from barely likely to succeed to a high probability of succeeding because of an owner that cares and programming that works.

Maisie the 8 week old bulldog puppy starts to understand that putting her mouth on people is verboten. She is too young to "punish", since mouthing is simply how she communicates and plays. By teaching her there are other alternatives, she will begin to understand that people flesh is forbidden, even for cute little puppies like her.

Tasty Cat (AKA Dog Bait) is all I could come up with. The Snarky little dog never showed.

The ambient temp in the "freezer" that also doubles as my garage was about 9 degrees, but at least there was no wind. The cat loves dogs. Joie has seen cats, but not at this range.
