Loyal Loved Rescued Canine Obedience

Garmin has to have surgery in a couple weeks and it will result in him having to wear a cone for a few days, and he’s notorious about not liking new things, so we have been working slowly on making him comfortable with this inflatable donut. This is our third session. First session was with it not at all inflated, second session was with it halfway inflated, and this is almost all the way inflated. He’s being reinforced for being okay with it around his neck, being fastened and unfastened. In later lessons, I tossed treats for him to run and get to get used to moving with it on. When your dog needs to wear something (a cone, panties for dogs in heat, booties, etc), it’s always a good idea to practice BEFORE you need it. Be proactive in your planning and don’t rush the process. And training in your pajamas is always encouraged. Happy Training and Hapoy Dogs.

I’m having a new air conditioner installed today. That means loud noises, strange voices and general chaos. Earlier I was reinforcing each of them with pieces of kibble when they heard a noise, but for Garmin who is on high alert all the time, being loose to go investigate every noise was stressing him (and Gracie) out. I decided he needed a safe space. Garmin loves his crate, but it is in the basement where most of the work is occurring, but this crate (which used to be Gracie’s) is upstairs. I decided this was the best place for him today so he could actually relax. After a few minutes, I had this from both of them. This is why I advocate for at least teaching your dog to be comfortable in a crate even if you don’t use it all the time. Because you never know when you may need it. Sometimes a little prep work, management, and providing your dog with a safe space is what you need to turn a stressful event into a more tolerable one. Happy Training and Happy Dogs.

Check out Trapper and River on a little field trip to Lowes. Neither dog had been there before and they both did great. I am incredibly impressed with their ability to walk by one another in a tight aisle as they LOVE each other and want to play all the time. I love watching these teams work each week. Happy Training and Happy Dogs.
