And within these threeContinue reading “It’s Ok Not To – Dog Training Milton”

Boxes and Dogs
Boxes are fun. They are fun for kids and dogs. They are fantastic for confidence building, balance, proprioception, problem solving amongst other things. I use boxes to teach dogs that they can over come fears, to teach bodily awareness, to teach how to get in and on things, and more. It might sounds silly, butContinue reading “Boxes and Dogs”
Body Language and Dogs
Body language and spacial pressure, along with eye contact, are huge in dog communication. Dogs aren’t verbal, so they rely on these things to communicate with each other, along with the noises that they make. Body language isn’t just a way for dogs to communicate with each other, but is also a way for usContinue reading “Body Language and Dogs”

Many times I walk where the coyotes roam. I see them nightly on the paths in town. The snow allows for me to see where they’ve been and how recently they’ve travelled by.

Dumb Dogs? No Way!
It amuses me when people claim that, on the whole, a particular breed or type of dog is dumb, stubborn or untrainable. Fingers are typically pointed at bull breeds, sight and scent hounds, terriers, Nordic and primitive breeds. The dogs listed above, well, they’re not necessarily bred to work for us. Some dogs are, theseContinue reading “Dumb Dogs? No Way!”

Dog Park Energy
It was a gorgeous, all-be-it humid summer evening the night I took a client to the dog park. We didn’t go in the park, that was never the plan. The plan was to hang around outside to get the client’s dog some decent dog exposure in a setting that we could somewhat, mostly control. IContinue reading “Dog Park Energy”
