Doggy Body Language Part 2: Happy vs Stressed

Here is Part 2 in our series of videos by Jean Donaldson on doggy body language! Great info and warning - TV dog trainers may mistake calm dogs for stressed dogs! We can learn the difference!

Dog Body Language

Here is another great video on body language! Please take 5 minutes and watch it. Students of Taming the Wild Side, this is a must watch, it will make your training and relationship with your dogs even better!

Warning: Do not put your hand towards a dog that is guarding a toy, food or anything else as they did in this video. Contact a professional trainer to help with this problem!
 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It is almost Christmas and the New Year is just around the corner!! If you are like me, you’re running in every direction trying to get everything done! This has been one of my busiest weeks, but at the end of each day I found myself thinking of you, your sweet babies and how far we have all come!! I have worked with many of you for a couple of years now and we have trained your pups into such great dogs! Some of you came to me with adult dogs but we have built confidence, self control and we have taught them great manners. Some of you are diligently working and in the middle of your training, to you I say "Hang in there, enjoy the journey, it will be awesome on the other side"! We are always building relationships!

I would like to take this opportunity and say THANK YOU! Thank you for your hard work, your trust in me to guide you and your dogs, and for all the laughter, but most of all thank you for your friendship. It has truly been a blessing, I have been so fortunate! I look forward to the new year, we have some great new training opportunities coming up. I am very excited about a new program, in which I hope to train Diabetic Alert Dogs. This will help many people! We have new seminars, classes and even some new hikes beginning in January! Watch for our new calendar, it will be out in a couple of weeks! May God bless each and every one of you! We wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Doorbells and Clean Cues

The puppies in our Puppy II Class learn to go to their mat when the doorbell rings, while their owners learn the importance of "Clean Cues" and other training techniques.

Doorbell Training

Check out our first video from our Puppy II Class! We had a lot of fun training the puppies to run to their mat when the doorbell rang. Watch how happy Zoe is as she pounces on her mat.  More videos to come!
