There are hundreds of helpful tips on how to make progress in dog training. However, there is only one POWERFUL rule on how to make dog training successful: sending a clear message to your dog. In this blog, we're talking about the dog training benefits of delivering a clear expectation to your dog, and how sticking to it can massively impact dog training! Read on to learn more. Key Takeaways Consistency in routine, messaging, and activities can significantly predict whether your training will fail or will succeed. Seemingly harmless habits like letting your dog sleep on your bed, or making the dog take the lead are actually harming your training. Professional dog training services — whether done in person or with an online dog training program — can change the direction of your training.

And love is a great tool in dog training. However, on the flip-side, love can also be detrimental to a dog's progress. (I talk more about Chief's story in the video below. )   Let me share with you the story of Chief. Chief — a dog I had the lovely honor to have a consultation with — was showing challenging behavior to his dog owners. He was stressed, he had behavioral issues, and no training seemed to work. While talking with me, his owner suddenly added “But Jack sleeps with us on the bed. In fact he sleeps on my husband's head!” Now, if you're familiar with my dog training principles, you would know that hearing her words was a lightbulb moment. AHA! I knew exactly what the root of the problem was. Chief felt he was in charge. No matter how lovingly his dog owners care for him, he still felt in charge. And even though the decision to let Chief sleep on the bed was done out of love, it truly affected how the training was working for the family. ESTABLISH LEADERSHIP IN THE EYES OF YOUR DOG WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE™ What Makes Dog Training Successful: Stick To Your Word, Stick To Consistency “Leaders walk the talk… and they keep walking.” – Tejraj Singh Anand I read that quote a few days ago, and I felt like it communicates clearly why inconsistencies make dog training fail. Just like raising kids or leading a team, those that we need to guide will believe us if we send clear, consistent expectations. #1: A Successful Dog Training Includes Consistency With Your Message Consistency is key when it comes to successful dog training because dogs thrive on routine and clear communication. One common mistake that can hinder progress is sending mixed signals to your furry friend. You're training them to not scratch on the furniture, but you may not be using timeouts when they do. You want your dogs to see you as a leader, but your actions could be telling your dog “I can boss this human around!” Successful dog training stars with a clear, consistent message — one that you 100% stick to. Make sure everyone involved in the training process — including family members and housemates — is on the same page. Consistency in the commands, gestures, and expectations will prevent confusion and provide a solid foundation for your dog's learning. THE DOG TRAINING PROGRAM THAT CHANGES THE WAY YOU TRAIN YOUR DOG! #2: Dog Training Success Comes With a Routine Aligned to Your Goals A well-planned and consistent routine provides structure and clarity for both you and your dog. Additionally, a great routine paves the way to effective learning and progress. Not having a consistent messaging and routine during dog training can lead to confusion, frustration, and hindered progress. Dogs rely on clear communication and structure. Inconsistency can result in mixed signals, behavioral issues, and a lack of trust between you and your dog. The first step in creating a routine is to define your training goals. What specific behaviors or commands do you want your dog to learn? Are there any particular challenges or behavior issues you need to address? By clearly identifying your objectives, you can tailor your routine to focus on the areas that require attention. RAISING PUPPIES? THE PUPPY COACH™️ PROGRAM CAN HELP PUSH YOUR TRAINING FORWARD! #3: Sticking To The Right Training Even After Making Mistakes Embrace the mindset that mistakes are part of the journey. Dogs are incredibly forgiving and resilient, and they respond well to consistent and patient training efforts. By remaining committed to the right dog training path, even when mistakes occur, you demonstrate your dedication and desire to improve the relationship with your dog. Adapt your training approach, reinforce the correct behaviors, and maintain a positive and encouraging attitude. Remember that your dog looks to you for guidance and relies on your consistent messaging and support. Show them empathy, understanding, and patience as you navigate the training process together. How to Make Dog Training Successful: 5 Ways to Remain Consistent in Your Training Now that we have established that consistency IS KEY to dog training success, here are five ways that you can make consistency possible. #1: Establish Clear Rules and Expectations Consistency starts with clearly defining the rules and expectations for your dog. If they did something positive, use positive reinforcements and really great treats. But if a behavior issue arises, communicate to your dog immediately that what they did wrong, and use timeouts if necessary. Be consistent in what behaviors are acceptable and what are not. Communicate these expectations to everyone involved in your dog's care. #2: Stick to a Regular Training Schedule The best partner to staying consistent in dog training is observing a routine and really sticking to it. Set aside dedicated times for training sessions and follow your schedule regularly. Regularity helps your dog understand that training is a consistent part of their daily life. DOG CALMING CODE™️: CHECK OUT THE TRAINING PROGRAM THAT WORKED FOR OVER 80,000 DOGS! #3: Use Consistent Verbal Cues and Commands Ensure that you use the same verbal cues and commands consistently. Teach your dog specific words for each behavior and use them consistently across all training sessions. #4: Reinforce Positive Behavior Consistently Reward your dog consistently for displaying the desired behaviors. This can be in the form of treats, pats and cuddles, or playtime. Consistent positive reinforcement strengthens the association between the behavior and the reward. #5: Stay Calm and Patient Consistency requires a calm and patient demeanor. Avoid getting frustrated or angry during training sessions. Dogs respond better to a positive and patient approach, which fosters a trusting and conducive learning environment. 6 Seemingly Harmless Factors That Make Dog Training Fail and What To Do Instead “But Doggy Dan, I didn't know what I was doing was hurting my dog's progress in training. I had all the good intentions.” Honestly, I absolutely never judge dog owners who are unconsciously doing things that are actually harmful to proper dog training. However, I always remind them to catch these habits early on to make dog training successful. Here are a few examples. #1: Letting Your Dog Lead The Way A successful dog trainer knows that they have to be a leader in the eyes of their dogs. Your dog has to know that you call the shots, you lead the way, you set the routine. Dogs are quick learners — they'll immediately catch on. In fact, they catch on so fast that when you allow your dog to dictate the training process, it can significantly stall your training. When your dog leads the way, it can result to confusion and inconsistency. What To Do Instead: Take on the role of a leader by setting clear expectations, providing guidance, and being proactive in shaping your dog's behavior. My program, the Dog Calming Code™, can help you take the steps in becoming the leader in your dog's eyes. All you need to do is change a few of the everyday things you are already doing with your dog. By so doing, this which will change how they see you in terms of leadership and who is actually in charge! PUPPY COACH™️: TRAIN PUPPIES TO BE CALMER, MORE WELL BEHAVED DOGS. The leadership training will show you: the best approach to controlling your dog's food how to control any danger in and around the home the right way to respond to your dog when you return home what to do to take charge of the walk. Giving In to Your Dog Let's be honest — our dogs are adorable! Their puppy eyes can easily win us! But let me tell you this: don't let the puppy eyes win! Yielding to your dog's demands or allowing them to get away with undesirable behaviors undermines the training process. A habit of simply giving treats freely or giving them cuddles even after a rowdy episode can affect dog training negatively. What to Do Instead Establish and enforce consistent boundaries, rewarding only the desired behaviors and redirecting or ignoring unwanted ones. Showing Impatience I always tell this to new and veteran dog trainers: patience is a powerful partner. Our dogs can catch even the slightest sign of impatience which could make them lose confidence in us. Also, our impatience can result to relationship issues that can make dog training more difficult. What to Do Instead Impatience can hinder progress and frustrate both you and your dog. Instead, practice patience and understand that training takes time. Break down tasks into manageable steps and celebrate small victories along the way. TRAINING PUPPIES? THE PUPPY COACH™️ PROGRAM FROM DOGGY DAN CAN HELP YOU! Comparing One Dog to Another Each dog is unique and learns at their own pace. Comparing your dog's progress to others can create unrealistic expectations and discourage you. What to Do Instead Instead, focus on your dog's individual progress and celebrate their achievements based on their own abilities. Not Giving/Forgetting to Give Rewards Consistent reinforcement is crucial for effective training. Dogs understand good and bad behavior better with rewards. Forgetting to reward or withholding rewards can demotivate your dog. Even while progressing, they can ask “Am I really doing things right?” What to Do Instead Never underestimate positive reinforcement using treats, praise and affection. Positive reinforcement will be more effective when you reward good behavior promptly with treats, praise, or play to reinforce your dog's learning. DISCOVER HOW YOU CAN LESSEN DOG STRESS AND ANXIETY WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE™️! How to Make Dog Training Successful: Questions to Ask When Dog Training Doesn't Seem to Work Question #1: Have You Established Leadership Between You and Your Dog? Establishing leadership between you and your dog is paramount for successful training. Dogs are pack animals, and they instinctively look for a leader to follow. Without clear leadership, training can become challenging and less effective. Leadership is not about being harsh or dominating; it's about earning your dog's respect through fair and confident interactions. Show calm assertiveness, provide clear direction, and reward positive behavior to reinforce your role as the leader. And always, always, make sure you doing the foundational work of implementing the rules of the Dog Calming Code™. This is what your dog will see and respond to almost instantly and hand over the leadership reigns to you. You must control the food, and show them you control what is danger and what is not. It is your role to show them that you only do things on your terms, not on theirs, and you show them you control the walk. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DOG TRAINING PROGRAM THAT CHANGED TRAINING FOR MORE THAN 80,000 DOG OWNERS Question #2: Have You Been Training Your Dog Inconsistently? Consistency is crucial for successful training. Instead of training sporadically, try to work on your dog's established behaviors randomly and regularly throughout the day. Question #3: Do You Find Yourself Repeating Commands Over and Over Again? Once you are confident that your dog understands a command, avoid repeating it excessively. If your dog ignores you, it could be due to incorrect training, distractions, or a rebellious attitude. In such cases, take your dog to a quiet place and attempt the command again. If there's still no response, go back to basics and retrain the behavior. Also tap into the power of timeouts. Giving dog timeouts can effectively communicate what you truly expect from your dog. In my previous blog, I wrote about timeouts and how to really make it work. Don't forget to check it out. CALMER DOGS START WITH THE RIGHT TRAINING. START WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE. Question #4: Are Your Training Sessions Too Long or Too Short? It's important to find the right balance in training session duration. Sessions should typically last around 20 minutes to maintain your dog's focus. If your dog appears bored, consider shortening the session and concluding it on a positive note. Question #5: Have You Exposed Your Dog To Different Training Environments? Starting in a safe and enclosed area is recommended, but as your training progresses, it's beneficial to expose your dog to various environments, such as different locations, people, and animals. This helps your dog become more responsive in diverse and busy situations. Question #6: Are You Relying Too Heavily on Treats and Not Enough on Praise and Esteem? Treats are helpful for teaching new behaviors. However, once your dog understands the behavior, start substituting treats with praise, play, or other forms of positive reinforcement that your dog enjoys. Question #7: Do You Display Emotional Consistency During Training Sessions? Training with force, anger, or irritation can intimidate your dog and create a negative training environment. On the other hand, training with excessive energy, high-pitched excitement, and forced elation can also hinder learning. Aim for a calm, kind, and confident approach to achieve the best results. LEARN THE FOUNDATIONS OF SUCCESSFUL DOG TRAINING WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE Question #8: Are You Tailoring Your Training to Accommodate Your Dog's Quirks and Personality? Just like human children, dogs have unique personalities and quirks that affect their learning styles. Take into account your dog's personality, age, size, breed, energy level, and history when designing your training strategy. Adapt your approach to meet your dog's specific needs, whether it requires building confidence in a shy dog or providing structure for an energetic, boisterous dog. How to Make Dog Training Successful: When to Ask Professional Help An effective and successful dog training strategy almost always includes a dog trainer or take an online program about dog training! Let's talk about the factors that tell you “It's time to get professional help!” Factor #1: Lack of Progress or Frustration If you've been consistently working on training your dog but haven't seen any significant progress or are feeling frustrated, it may be time to seek the help of a professional dog trainer. They can provide guidance, expertise, and fresh perspectives to overcome training challenges. Factor #2: Behavior Issues If your dog displays persistent behavior problems such as aggression, excessive barking, separation anxiety, or destructive behaviors, a dog trainer can help address these issues. They can assess the root causes, develop behavior modification plans, and provide effective strategies to manage and modify problematic behaviors. CALMER PUPPIES, WELL-BEHAVED DOGS: START TRAINING THE RIGHT WAY WITH THE PUPPY COACH™️ Factor #3: Inconsistent Obedience If your dog consistently ignores commands, has difficulty following instructions, or only responds sporadically, guidance from a dog trainer (or from their online program) can assist in improving their obedience. They can teach you effective communication techniques and implement training methods that encourage consistent responses from your dog. Factor #4: Socialization Challenges If your dog exhibits fear or aggression towards other dogs, animals, or people, proper socialization becomes crucial. A dog trainer or online training program can guide you in desensitizing and counterconditioning your dog. It can help them become more comfortable and confident in various social situations. Factor #5: Specific Training Goals If you are wondering how to make dog training successful, a guidance from a professional dog trainer can help. A dog trainer (or an online training program from one) can provide targeted instruction and guidance. They can help you and your dog reach your goals effectively and efficiently. Factor #6: New Dog Owner If you're a first-time dog owner, a dog trainer's help can be immensely beneficial. With their help, you will begin to understand basic obedience, house training, and even your dog's behavior. They can equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to establish a strong foundation for a well-behaved and happy canine companion. Factor #7: Personal Circumstances If your personal circumstances — such as a demanding schedule, physical limitations, or health concerns — prevent you from dedicating sufficient time and effort to training, a dog trainer can step in to support you. A professional perspective (and experience!) can make dog training successful by providing guidance, and assistance to ensure your dog receives the necessary training and care.

How To Make Dog Training Successful: Have a Clear Goal, and a Clearer, Consistent Message In the world of dog training, the answer to “How to make dog training successful?” lies in having a clear goal and a consistently communicated message. As you embark on this training adventure with your furry companion, remember to stay focused, be patient, and maintain a consistent approach.

One of the most difficult behaviors for dogs to master is the “Stay.” This is a command that must be well-defined for your dog. This includes teaching the stay in several stages, as well as teaching the behavior in reverse, starting with the end and working backward for longer and more reliable stays. Create a Definite Beginning and a Definite Ending The first and most important rule of the stay is to have a definite beginning and a definite ending. This means pairing your stay command with a release word that signals that the stay is finished. Common release words include “OK,” “Free,” Release,” and “All Done.” Choose one word as your release word and use only that word consistently when the “stay” is finished. To teach the release word, position your dog as you wish, in either a sit, down or stand. Then give your dog a stay command, followed almost immediately by your release word and reward. Don't worry if your dog does not move following the release word. You can step back, clap your hands, or otherwise engage in positive interaction to cue them that it is OK to move. Do watch out for these common pitfalls when teaching stay: Do not give your stay command with food in your hand. This will only lure your dog to follow you. Do not always call your dog to come to you from a stay. This will cause him to anticipate a recall. Practice by leaving your dog and returning to him before giving the release word. Three D's: Duration, Distance, and Distractions Once you have successfully paired a release word with your stay command, you are ready to move to the next step. Dog trainers refer to these as the Three D's: Duration, Distance, and Distractions. Duration is the amount of time your dog is in a stay. Distance is how far from your dog you go. Distractions are anything that happens during your dog's stay. Duration – The amount of time your dog remains in his stay is called duration. To begin, position your dog as you wish, in a sit, down, or stand. Give your stay command, without moving count to three, and then release your dog using his release word. Increase the time you ask your dog to stay by two to three second intervals. If your dog breaks his stay, just reset him and ask him to stay for a lesser time in which he was successful. Distance – Moving away from your dog is referred to as distance, and it is common for owners to rush this phase of training. Teaching distance stays happen literally a half step at a time. Position your dog as you wish and give your dog his stay command. Step back with one foot, lean back, then step back to your dog and release him. Next, take one full step back then return to your dog for the release and a reward. Continue slowly, adding only one step at a time. Remember, do not have food in the hand in which you give your dog the stay command. Also, return to your dog before you release him, and do not always call him out of a stay. Distractions – Distractions are anything, big or small, that happens during your dog's stay. It is important to have a strong foundation with your release word, stay duration, and distance before you try and add distractions. Once distractions are to be added, start with something easy at home or in the back yard, and work your way up to more distractions in various environments. One good technique is to use higher value treat rewards when introducing and increasing distractions. Proofing People love their dogs because they help us remain in the present moment. Dogs live very much in the here and now. This means anything, everything or even nothing at all can cause a dog to break his stay. Proofing is an important part of training the stay for reliability in a variety of situations. Always start simple and gradually increase what you are asking of your dog. Proofing for duration from the science of canine cognition we know that dogs understand if we are paying attention to them or not, no matter what the proximity. Practice this by asking your dog to stay while you sit, lie down, read, watch television, or cook. Be sure to reward at various intervals for the stay, but do not allow them to get up until you have given the release word. Proofing for distance is moving away from your dog and includes going out of sight. Practice this by moving away from your dog at various angles, either leaving to the side, diagonally and/or going behind your dog. When working out of sight, use a mirror to see your dog around corners. You can either set him up angling a wall mirror or, as inconspicuously as possible, use a hand mirror. Proofing for distractions is one of the more difficult tasks. Ideas include bouncing or rolling a ball while your dog is on a stay, jumping up and down, or running past your dog. Remember, you must start slowly and build up to things more interesting to your dog. One helpful hint is to use “leave it” during the stay. Often with distractions, dogs are more likely to succeed with additional information such as reminding them to stay or to “leave” distractions like toys. Additional Tips: If you think your dog is going to move, repeat your stay command. Set your dog up for success. Do what you feel you need to do to help your dog be successful. The more successful they are, the more reliable the stay behavior will be.

Dogs get into things they shouldn't. They pick up dead animals and try to eat garbage. Although you should train a solid “leave it” cue to tell your dog to leave certain things alone, you might not always notice what your dog is doing until it's too late. Therefore, an equally important behavior to teach is “Drop It.” This cue tells your dog to immediately drop whatever they have in their mouth. Sometimes this will simply be to prevent an annoyance like your dog stealing your shoe. But at other times this cue can be lifesaving such as when your dog picks up dropped medication or toxic food like chocolate. Why You Should Teach “Drop It” “Drop It” allows you to get items away from your dog without having to run after them. In fact, as most dogs love the game of chase, this will only increase the likelihood of your dog taking forbidden things in the future. They quickly learn it's a great way to start what they see as a fun way to play with you. Chasing your dog also increases the chance they will swallow the object to prevent you from getting it first. Even non-toxic items can pose a choking hazard or create an intestinal blockage. Nor should you ever have to pry your dog's mouth open to retrieve an object. That puts you at risk of a bite and again may persuade your dog to swallow the object. Fighting with your dog over anything can also lead to problems with resource guarding down the road. If your dog already shows issues with guarding objects, consult a dog trainer or animal behaviorist for help before beginning any of the following exercises. Teaching your dog to drop items on cue is also a useful component of fetch as it helps your dog bring objects back to your hand rather than leaving them on the floor for you to retrieve. And finally, “drop it” is perfect for trick training. You can have your dog putting their toys in their toy box or playing dog-sized basketball in no time if they understand how to drop things on cue. How to Teach “Drop It” With a Treat The trick to training your dog to drop items is to make it all about trading – give them something else in exchange. In addition, during the training process, you will also give the original item back again. Although you would never do that with something dangerous, this teaches your dog that “drop it” is a double bonus. They get a reward for dropping the object and then they get to play with the object some more. That makes trading incredibly enticing. Here are the steps for training “drop it” with treats: Offer your dog a low-value toy. It should be something they have an interest in but don't feel overly excited about. You want to make it easy for them to give it up. Let your dog play with the toy for a few seconds. Place a high-value treat in front of your dog's nose. If you chose a low enough value toy and an exciting enough treat, your dog should willingly drop the toy in exchange. As soon as your dog drops the toy, praise or use a clicker to mark the behavior, then give your dog the treat. While your dog is eating the treat, pick up the toy and hide it behind your back. Once your dog is finished eating, present the toy again and repeat the process. When you know your dog will drop the item as soon as you show the treat, you can add a verbal cue like “drop it,” “trade,” or “out.” After several repetitions, give your cue without showing the treats. If your dog drops the item, click and praise and provide a jackpot reward (many treats in a row) to convince them how great it is to play this game. If your dog doesn't drop the item without seeing the treats, try waiting one second between saying your cue and showing the treats. Then slowly increase that time across repetitions until your dog understands to drop the item before the treats come out. If you run into trouble with this technique, here are a few troubleshooting tips. First, if your dog runs away with the toy, do this training with them on leash so they have to stay with you. Second, you don't want to race your dog to the toy after they drop it. If your dog is trying to get it back before you can get your hands on it, try tossing the treat a few feet away to buy you time to get the toy. Or throw several treats on the floor to keep your dog occupied. How to Teach “Drop It” With a Toy You can also teach your dog to trade items with toys only. Some dogs simply aren't food motivated, but even for those that are, these games can help reinforce the lesson. You can repeat the exercise above but instead of offering a treat, offer another toy. If your dog is reluctant to trade, play with the new toy and act as if it's the greatest thing you've ever seen. Your dog is sure to drop the original toy in favor of this exciting new object. Tug-of-war is another great way to teach “drop it.” Simply present the toy and start playing. After a few seconds, go still. Your dog will eventually get bored of playing alone and will drop the toy. When they do, praise them then reward them with another game of tug. Once your dog is dropping the toy as soon as you go still, you're ready to add the verbal cue. You can do the same type of training with a flirt pole (a toy tied to a string on the end of a pole). Now that your dog understands the “drop it” cue, anytime they have something they shouldn't, ask them to drop the item then reward them with a treat or acceptable toy or chew bone. If you practiced enough, your dog will happily drop the forbidden item to trade for something better.

In his work as a set designer, Saturday Night Life staffer Ken MacLeod had seen many well-trained dogs, and had even done commercial work with his own Jack Russell, Mac. But then he got a dog named Scooter and he realized that every dog has different needs. This realization led him to decide he wanted to become a certified dog trainer. Today, he splits his time: Part of every month, he can be found building sets for SNL, and the rest of the time, he is training out of his Hoboken, NJ-based studio, My Positive Pup. He talks to Annie about getting certified, the emotional nature of working with dog owners, behavior lessons learned learned on the ski slopes, and how the old saying "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar" can be true for both people and dogs.

Do all dogs need help from a professional trainer? Are we able to read books or watch videos to help train our dogs?The biggest drawback of do-it-yourself dog training is the potential lost time. If you are fumbling through and trying to figure it out as you go (as most of us are), you stand to lose valuable moments in your dog's life that could be spent reinforcing good behaviors instead of sending mixed and inconsistent messages. Hiring one shouldn't be considered a reflection of an owner's failure. Listen in as Louie Torres shares when it's best to hire training professional who is right for you and your dog.

#011 - How to Choose a Responsible Dog Breeder with Barbara WalmerDo you know the difference between a breeder doing things responsibly for the breed, their breeding dogs, and their puppies and those that are in it strictly for the money?For this episode I've enlisted Behaviour Consultant, Professional Dog Trainer and Golden Retriever breeder, Barbara Walmer, from Good As Gold Training in Calgary to help you choose a responsible dog breeder. It's our hope that after having listened to this episode, people will have no doubt in their minds whether or not they're purchasing their puppy from a puppy mill or backyard breeder, or whether their dog has been bred and cared for responsibly. Barbara's qualifications include:CPDT-KSA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge and Skills Assessed)CBCC-KA (Certified Behaviour Consultant Canine-Knowledge Assessed)KPA CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner)ACDBC (Associate Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant)FFCP (Fear-Free Certified Professional)Member of APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers)Member of CCPDT (Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers)Member of IAABC (International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants)Learn:The one thing all really good breeders do. What type of environment is best for your puppy to be raised in.Why it's so important your puppy doesn't leave their mom prematurely. Why it's a good thing if your breeder requires a signed contract. Why breeders should also be great matchmakers. Where to start your search for a good breeder.What questions you should ask a potential breeder and the answers you want to hear.The cool things temperament testing can tell you about your pup.Although the focus of the episode is on finding a reputable breeder, our discussion goes off topic a little and we discuss why someone might want a purebred dog. I feel like it's only fair to mention that purebred rescues exist as well, so it is possible to both rescue and have a purebred dog although it's still unlikely you'll know their lineage or medical history. Resources from this episode:Episode 011: ResourcesEverything Pup Podcast Community on FacebookFind Holly on Social Media:FacebookInstagram

After training your dog a few basic commands like sitting and staying, you can move on to more advanced tricks, like teaching them to shake your hand (sometimes referred to as “giving a paw”). Whether you're an experienced dog owner or a newbie, by following a few simple steps (and having some patience), your dog is well on their way to learning this cool new trick. As a bonus, this trained behavior comes in handy when you need to wipe off our dog's muddy paws or even trim their nails.   Steps to Teaching Your Dog to Shake Have your dog “sit.” Grab a treat and show it off before you hide it in your closed fist. Hold out your fist, palm facing up, at about your dog's chest level. Your dog should naturally paw at your fist to get to the treat. When they do, open your hand and let them have the treat and give them plenty of praise. Repeat these steps several times until your dog “gets it.” Repeat steps 1–4, but this time, without holding a treat in your hand. As soon as your dog paws at your fist, give them a treat from your other hand. Once your dog understands what you want them to do, it's time to add the word “shake” — add this word just before you put out your hand. Now your dog is shaking! We recommend practicing for 5-10 minutes per day as to not frustrate or tire out your dog. If you'd like, you can incorporate a clicker into this routine, “clicking” immediately before giving the treat. If your dog isn't getting the trick down as quickly as you'd like, be sure not to scold and instead to just offer encouragement along the way. By training your dog to shake (as well all the other foundational behaviors like sitting and staying), you've helped keep them safe, improved their confidence, and given yourself something to show off!

My name is Heather Szasz and I have over 12 years of professional dog training experience, as well as experience as a life coach for a world-wide company. Having extensive experience in both dog training and life coaching has given me a unique outlook and ability to be very successful with working with dog owners and the behavior issues with their dogs. I started my career as a dog trainer 30 years ago in England when I was the owner of my first puppy--an airedale terrier named Sharka. I trained with Geoff Grinham, the author of the book Dog Training and Behavior. You will find many pictures of Sharka and myself in Geoff Grinham's book. However, please remember that was 30 years ago, so I do look a bit different today! Life took a left turn, as I ended up in Florida for 22 years. I had not been certified as a dog trainer in England, so I chose to begin a residential house cleaning business. After a few years, I sold the my cleaning business and said to myself, "What do I really want to do?" My answer was that I really want to be a certified Professional Dog Trainer, so I went to the Animal Behavior College and graduated! For the last 12 years, I have worked with many one-on-one clients, taught agility classes for fun, and mentored students from the Animal Behavior College. I have worked with rescues, volunteered for nine years, and spent the last two of those years as a trainer in a prisoner/shelter dog program. In total, we have trained and adopted 75 dogs! My focus now is on coaching owners in how to influence their dog in a positive way through transforming our anxiety and negativity which our dogs are living with on a daily basis. Remember Happy Owner/Happy Dog! Please check The Balance Procedure Page for more information on how to take control of your energy and how that will affect your dog's behavior.

Su Lin talks about how to read the calming signals, prevent the trigger over the threshold and build a trustworthy relationship with your dog. In some unfortunate case where we allow our dog to go beyond threshold, what we as dog owners need to know and how we go into damage control. The Fight and Flight response usually results in aggression and dog bites. Su Lin gives insights into her own dogs and clients' dogs and how she helps them to manage and control and gain true freedom for the dog and the owners.
