Pawsitive Motion Dog Training Videos

When your dog is trained, it opens up their world to more fun & freedoms. Some Northwest fun this week for Shelby!

Shelby got some new shoes today & as a trainer, these are great quality for the $5 price tag ($15 on ebay) at Nky-Bargain Outlet ! There are several more if anyone wants some. I saw sizes starting at xxs.

26d snow play! She loves it & I love watching her enjoy it❣️ Had to give her some play time before it gets cold again 😳

Recently, I've realized that Shelby has been hovering pretty close to me with storms. The storms here are more frequent & intense than in New England & she's not used to it, soooooo......we go on the deck periodically. I sit in the chair with my feet up, so she has to lay at least a small distance away. As she watches, hears & feels the wind, she gets rewarded for *not* reacting. Next, we'll be practicing on the deck with the Midwest thunder. No guarantees that I'll be home for every storm, so she needs to learn how to deal & tolerate it. In this video, she is def alert & aware, which is fine. She's tolerating...if that's as good as it gets, that's fine. No whining, barking, pacing, destruction, etc. going on. That's the goal!

A huge shout out to the wonderful couple (you know who you are!) who gifted an extra ticket to Three Days Grace & Shinedown, in exchange for some training with your new 2nd dog! It was a challenge, but we got through it 😄 The concert was great & I truly thank you 🥰

Swimming in October? Absolutely!

Went to a nature preserve today in Morning View. Shelby *loves* her free time, but there's always a little practice worked into it. When you have a well trained recall, the world opens up for your dog ❤️ As she went ahead, I stopped walking to see how long it took her to notice, which was only about 10 secs, then the recall & sit.

When you accidently buy the toy with the squeaker, make it that "special" toy for outstanding behavior 😁 Then after you give it to your dog, put your ear buds in & limit the toy to your preference (or your neighbors'). This squeaker happens to be quite potent...

7/4/22 Fireworks
For me, July 4th is a good time for some reinforcement (practice) training for my dog with fireworks. I'm fortunate to have the best view in the house & at any one time, there were at least 10 different firework displays going on. And there's my dog, just laying laying there, not reacting. We stayed for over an hour & no signs of anxiety, even with the Riverfest display. Couldn't be more proud tonight ❤️

Even with my own dogs' training, I still test her on various things. Today it was testing for any type of food reactivity or possessiveness. Practice, practice, practice to keep the results you worked so hard for! Don't lower the bar.

Shelby at the pool #1
Shelbys 1st time at a pool, rather than a pond. Some apprehension, but watch the progress in the comments videos. Total time at the pool was 1/2 an hour. Time & patience!

Another successful session with Loki. I messed up the before video, but he was pulling in all directions, nose to the ground, not paying attention to the owner (who had a very tight grip on the leash). This video is about 1/2 hr after working Loki into his new way of going for a walk! Sorry for the shakiness 🤣
