All Dogs Training Co.

A calm brain is taught.

Settling, impulse control, emotional regulation, stress management, all things that are taught.

Sit stays don’t get you a dog you can live with.

We have to train the brain, and train the relationship.

Fear tactics for the win…

Just kidding.

But Miss Lilly has indeed been barky lately with her mom. Coming to Aunt Heather’s house to spend some time around the pack and go on some field trips is the right kind of refresher to get back on track.

Only good little dogs allowed around here 🐾

Working through some environmentals and fear of new things through games and play.

Super important for puppies at this stage of development.

It also provides the chance, positively and through play, to work on the possession and resource guarding issues Odin has been exhibiting.

Not ideal traits for a puppy living in a family with kids and other pets, and starting to address these issues young is crucial to whether or not he has success in his home environment.

Apparently nature is already decorating my tracking field for Halloween. Felt spooky at sunrise 🕸️🎃

It wasn’t Temu… I’m just famously incapable of taking measurements correctly🤦🏼‍♀️

Life can’t just be about work. Gotta have fun too.

And apparently this is what fun looks like…🤷🏼‍♀️

Link goes home a reformed escape artist!

Out of all the naughty behaviors, door bolting is the most dangerous. I know too many dogs who have gotten out and lost their lives.

Waving a treat around isn’t going to get you compliance or reliability. There’s always going to be many, many things in the environment more enticing and more valuable than you or your Pupperoni.

E-Collar training saves lives.

I don’t ever hate on our clients or try to make anyone feel like they’ve made bad choices.

A lot of trainers do. That’s not my vibe. We support our owners.

But there’s been a crazy influx lately of people needing training for puppies they’ve purchased from commercial pet stores. So I feel that this needs to be a teachable moment.

We love Java, he has a good temperament and he’s super cute. There’s always going to be positives. But the first 2 months of a puppy’s life is extremely important and shapes what kind of adult dog you’re going to have.

A pet store purchase is not the way to go.

Puppies that come from pet stores come from puppy mills. If you don’t know what that is, google it. But don’t be eating when you go down the puppy mill rabbit hole.

Every pet store puppy I’ve done a consult for has had the same main complaint. Won’t potty outside no matter what they do. Only wants to potty in the crate.

Almost like they were actually trained to potty in the crate…🤔💬

Pet store puppies don’t know what outside is.

They’ve never touched grass or been out of a display case prison.

They’ve essentially have been trained during their critical early developmental period to go potty in their pen, and they’ve been taught that being dirty is okay.

Not to mention the host of other health and environmental issues these puppies typically display, but that’s not the conversation today.

It’s extremely hard to break this habit and have a dog that is crate trained and house trained reliably going forward. We’re making progress with little Java, but it’s a ton of added work and a lot less sleep for me.

I support rescuing responsibility and I support buying responsibly.

A puppy mill is neither of those things, and purchasing from pet stores continues to fund the puppy mill industry.

Find a reputable rescue, or find a reputable, ethical breeder. We can offer referrals so you’re set up for success.

Make good choices friends.
