Make sure your dog is used to being touched from nose to tail (also called handling). Handling your dog will make things easier for appointments with the vet or groomer. If your dog doesn’t like being touched on a specific area (i.e. feet or tail) you can work with them by touching/holding them and rewarding for calm behavior.
Don't feel like you have to carve out specific time to do a training session with your dog(s). You can integrate training into your daily routines. Watching tv, doing homework with kids, or cleaning the house are great opportunities to have your dog in either place, a sit/stay or down/stay.
Despite these challenging times, there are still several ways you can socialize your dog or puppy. Socialization isn't limited to having your dog interact with other people or dogs. It also includes exposing your dog to different, sounds, environments, surfaces and situations. Having your dog lay in place while watching the world go by is a great mental exercise for them. Check out this comprehensive list of items you should expose your dog to.
If you do decide to work out in public with your dog, please be mindful of social distancing and stay safe! #purecaninetraining #dogtraining #ladogs #dogsofla #ladogtrainer #ladogtraining #losangelesdogs #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #familydogtraining

Bandit has come a long way from chasing and nipping at horses and blowing off his owner. Now he's focused and responding to her and completely ignoring the horses. Good job Bandit! I'm super proud of them! #purecaninetraining #dogtraining #ladogs #dogsofla #ladogtrainer #ladogtraining #losangelesdogs #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #familydogtraining

See you in the morning! We are supposed to have nice weather. So let’s get out of the house and walk (we keep a healthy 6 ft distance anyway). As far as cafe time....if anyone wants to run and grab something, you are welcome to but I’m not sure we will be able to sit and chat as usual.
Leo gets super excited when people come over and winds up jumping on guests. During his session, we set him up by having some friends come over. We had him hold place while his owner answered the door and her guests walked in. We corrected the jumping and then worked on boundaries and rewarding his calm behavior/impulse control. The guests were able to reward him for not jumping and for his impulse control by greeting him but would ignore him when he’d get too excited. Leo was understandably excited, but was able to keep it together. He’s starting to learn that calm gets you what you want — crazy does not.

#trainertiptuesday If nail clippers still make your dog’s nails sharp, you can use a Dremel (grinder) to smooth out the nails. Conditioning your pup to using a Dremel could be challenging. One way to help desensitize your dog to the Dremel is to first use an electric toothbrush. Let your dog get used to the loud sound and the sensation of the brush rubbing against their nails. Use plenty of treats and praise when your dog is relaxed and not messing with the toothbrush. Once your dog gets used to the toothbrush, take it up a notch and use the Dremel. Teaching your dog to tolerate the Dremel will help make the grooming process easier and faster. #purecaninetraining #dogtraining #ladogs #dogsofla #ladogtrainer #ladogtraining #losangelesdogs #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #familydogtraining
