This is the instant that Wallace the Shepherd/Malinois mix really started understanding a new word for the very first time! Moments like these might seem small… and they can be easy to miss, especially if you’re new to training dogs. But for Wallace, this is profound. He’s starting to really understand how to learn from and communicate with his trainer. The better you get at noticing the subtle cues and body language your dog displays during training, the faster you’re going to see results 🙌 This is Wallace’s “That means something!” face 😇 Some other signs to watch out for are: scratching or sniffing (which can indicate uncertainty or mild frustration), relaxed body posture and loose tail wags (which often mean a dog is more comfortable), which direction their ears are pointing (even if your dog has floppy ears, this can still tell you a lot!)… These are just a few common signals dogs sometimes give while training. Can you think of any more? Keep an eye out for signals your own dog gives, and pay attention to the context to start learning what it means to them! Getting to know your dog in this way will make everything easier and more enjoyable for both of you ❤️🐾 #DogTraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining101 #puppytraining #dogtrainer #malinois #germanshepherd #newdog #positivereinforcement #forcefree #dogtrainingadvice #puppytrainingtips #zakgeorge #dogtrainingrevolution #breakthrough #learning #animalbehavior #k9 #dogtok #dogsoftiktok

“Be overwhelmingly consistent!” Easy enough, right? 🙃 All good teachers understand how essential this is. And dogs are very good at exploiting a lack of consistency. They will easily decipher how willing you are to stick to your game plan. This comes as no surprise - I mean, we are dealing with a very smart species here! 🐕 But there are times to unwind and do their own thing too. So how do you accomplish that while still being consistent in your training? You’ll need to feel this out with your individual dog, but it’s easy once you get to know each other a little. One classic example is walking on a loose leash. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, leash pulling can be absolutely maddening. In fact, this is one of the hardest things for many people to teach their dogs. So, in the spirit of being “consistent,” you might be tempted to absolutely never advance forward if there is tension on your dog’s leash. But in most cases, your consistency efforts would be much more effective during set-up training sessions in places where your dog is more likely to succeed. If the sidewalk is too challenging, try your driveway, or even your living room. And when you take your dog into those more challenging environments, give them the freedom to explore instead of holding them to training standards they aren’t prepared for yet. All dog trainers know that consistency is important. But you have to balance “consistency” with your dog’s current skill level, and set your expectations accordingly. That’s going to help you get out of your own way, and you and your dog will make progress much faster (and have more fun, too!) #DogTraining #dogtraining101 #dogtrainingtips #puppytraining #dogtrainer #malinois #germanshepherd #k9 #obedience #leashtraining #dogtrainingadvice #puppytrainingtips #leashpulling #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #dogtrainerlife #forcefree #forcefreedogtraining #positivereinforcement #dogtrainingrevolution #zakgeorge

Are you working on stopping your dog’s LEASH PULLING? 🙀 Watch for these “magic moments” with your own dog, and you’ll start to see success much faster! The early stages of leash training can feel pretty overwhelming. It can be hard to find ANY “good moments” to reward when you feel like your dog is constantly pulling and lunging in every direction… One of my favorite exercises to do with dogs who are in the early phase of learning to walk nicely on leash, is getting them out on an extra long lead (this one is 30 feet long), because that can really increase your chances of finding lots of things to reward your dog for! Watch for moments when they briefly check in with you, glance your way, actually come to you, have slack in their leash, or see something tempting without immediately lunging for it. The more instances of “good” behavior that you can find to reward, the faster those “bad” behaviors will get replaced by things you actually want your dog to do! And, you can accomplish this quickly without needing to use a single “correction” or punishment with your dog. Training this way isn’t just more fun for you and your dog - it’s actually more effective, too! Follow to learn all about training your dog without needing outdated or counterproductive methods like punishment and coercion 🙌 You’ve got this! #DogTraining #leashtraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining101 #puppytraining #dogtrainer #positivereinforcement #forcefree #zakgeorge #dogtrainingrevolution

Repost from @balancedcanineacademy • @driandunbar has a “Ditch the Bowl Promise” protocol that says no dogs should eat out of a bowl if they’re experiencing behavioral issues. Your dog not eating a full meal isn’t going to kill them while they learn they need to work for their meals and all meals come from your hand. Using your dog’s hunger is the easiest way to reward desirable behaviors in your dog when you’re working on behavior modification plans. #positivereinforcement #forcefree #DogTraining #dogtrainer #dogs #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #balanceddogtraining

Discipline is important in your life and your dog’s life. Dogs are happiest when they have a job, know what they are supposed to be doing, and know their person is happy with them doing it well. Be a good handler/owner and keep your dog disciplined.
