Paws - Game On - Dog Training

Couldn’t have said it better myself - training is a journey and you are in it for the long road! Some skills take a couple days and some takes weeks - it depends on the dog.

I have a new kelpie x and I am guessing you would instantly say - wow they are smart that should be easy! But NO - it has taken three weeks for him to confidently get on a mat (boundary) mostly stay on the mat, but only luring on still, not associated with a word and he uses my other dog and follows him for cues….YES he is smart! BUT he is also timid with new objects, crazy for food and forgets to listen, impulsive and no self control - thats ok - I know what we have to focus on and play those games that help.

I am not expecting miracles but I know we will get there - in his time ❤️

Watch until the end. How dog trainers fool you on social media. 1.) Beware, don’t compare. 2.) Watch out for false prophets #dogtraining #dogtrainer #malinois #falseprophets #socialmedia

This is a good sign that it is time to move on/leave - if your dog is overstimulated continuously and that bucket fulls up expect behavioural changes as a result of buckets overflowing

(More information in highlight) Can you guess why Spicy is over stimulated in this clip?!? . . . . . Small rodents 🤦🏼‍♀️ above tree line there are Pika and Marmots and she unfortunately got a chance to chase one and it sent her little brain into a crazy spin 🤪 you can see all her body language cues and despite my best efforts she just wasn’t in a head space to listen. I ended up hiking for about 10 minutes and then she was able to come back to earth and respond to me again. Over stimulation does crazy things to dogs brains and sometimes you just have to be patient and give them some time to come back to earth!

Nope - you cannot leave the couch!
(My foot is stuck underneath him and his front feet are wrapped around my leg) 😂😂

Happens to the best of us! 😂🙄

Typical Cattle Dog. :-)

The look of excitement that training is about to start ❤️

Brilliant!! 😂

Okay, but is he saying wow or waaaa? Everyone always tells me Dexter’s howl sounds like an ambulance, so I had to make him this. I won’t be winning any awards for artistry 😂 but I think it got the idea across. As always, Dexter will do ANYTHING for food. Including, howling in a cardboard box with lights on it. #doghalloweencostume #halloweendog #dogreels #huskiesofinstagram #huskyworld
