Love to see progress!🤗

When I first met Tayton, he was extremely reactive toward both people and other dogs. While he’s not aggressive, his reactions often made others feel uncomfortable, frustrated his handlers, and created potentially unsafe situations. Not only was he reactive, but he would also maintain a strong and steady pull for a majority of the walk.

I started meeting with Tayton and his owners twice a week to work on his loose leash walking and reactivity.

In this little clip, Tayton is on a long line sniffing the grass and choosing to ignore the person walking by. On my first walk with him, he would have lunged and barked at a person standing, forget about his reaction if they were running! I’m so happy to see him learning how to regulate his emotions especially as an older rescue. He’s a lucky boy to have found such dedicated and loving owners!

Pippa was a bit nervous about the jump at first. 🙈 After lowering it, she conquered that hurdle and was able to do the others!

She also got comfortable with the short weave poles set a foot apart. Still working on getting her confident enough to go through the tunnel!🐕

Enjoy these pictures of Odie! Just realizing I never posted these great shots of the handsome boy as I was scrolling through my photos. Given how rare it is for me to stop and take pictures, definitely can’t forget to post the few I take😂 Going to take this moment to give a quick update too. I’m super excited about the warm weather, I have lots of fun training plans for the summer! I’m most excited to kick off the weekend workshops this weekend. I’ll be posting more about those events soon🤗 I also accept payments to be paid on my website now, not only cash or Venmo! Hope everything has been well with you all. Happy training!

Odie loves the part of our outs where he’s able to be a dog! Letting a dog explore and be curious is such an important part of fulfilling their mental needs! While we do work on obedience during the structured walks, there’s always a chance for the dogs to let loose and blow off some steam!☀️🐕

Schedule a structured walk now to get your dog’s mental and physical needs met while maintaining your training goals!

A huge thank you to all the awesome dog owners and their lovely pups who participated. Can’t wait to see you at future workshops!

I often hear many trainers or owners focused on correcting a behavior instead of being interested in understanding to the root issue and showing your dog what you want from them. For example, when your dog is pulling on the leash… rewarding them at your side, where you want them will help teach your dog what you want compared to just consistently popping the leash when tension is added.

Odie had a structured walk today, he gets two a week! Spoiled boy!!🤗 We mainly worked on increasing handler engagement. We practiced leave it when we came across pizza crust and neutrality around other dogs walking. He did so well!! At the end, I put him on a long line and we did some fun agility jumps as well as a sniffari!

I’m not great at capturing my training sessions, especially if they are outside. This was the best I could do for today. 🤣

A great month for HOPE animal rescue, starting the year off right! Feel free to reach out to @h.o.p.e.animalrescue if you have any questions!! Press and hold the screen to pause and read.

LOOKING FOR FOSTERS🐾👀 (URGENT‼️⚠️)
🐾 Duke- He has a long and upsetting past. This gentle giant has experienced crate trauma causing hip dysplasia, a broken tail, and a couple other unknown (at this time) issues. He is very sweet to new people and does well with young children. He walks well on the leash and is house trained.
🐾 Loki- This sweet boy is currently living with young children and does amazing with them! He’s a bit shy but doesn’t take long to warm up. This crate trained and potty trained boy is ready to move into someone’s home. He still has to be vetted and neutered.

LOOKING FOR A FUREVER HOME🐶🏠 (In foster)
🐶 Copper- This loving bundle of energy is looking for an active home that needs a new furry addition! Copper is good with other dogs and very food motivated. He’s a blast to train! This smart cookie would love to curl up in someone’s bed at night and accompany them on a fun hike during the day.
🐶 Shep- This affectionate doll is looking for a home to spend her golden years in. She does well with children and cats but would prefer to be the only dog. This lovely docile lady would make a perfect companion!
🐶 Tatyton- This playful boy has a heart of gold! He does well with other dogs. We are currently working on his leash manners but otherwise he has been a great and loving guest at his fosters.
🐶 Bella- This gem would thrive in a calm household with no cats and as an only dog. Although she would prefer to be the only pet, she does well with children.
🐶 Kai- This pitty is stable! He does soo well meeting new people, getting his nails cut, receiving a bath, seeing dogs on a leash, etc. This lovely potato has lived with other dogs and children before, we are told he does not like cats.

COURTESY POSTING📋🐕 🐕
🐕 Atlas- This nervous but sweet boy does great with other dogs, big or small, he’s not so fond of young children. He’s local!
🐕 Inari- Currently living in MA.

A lick mat is a great tool for working on cooperative care! These easy to store silicone mats may be a bit harder to clean than a Kong but the ridges have a purpose!

Many lick mats come with a way to secure them on the ground, wall, or crate. The suction cup backing makes them a great distraction for your dog during grooming sessions, while the screw-on backs allow for easy attachment to a kennel for crate training. If you have a shredder at home, be sure to supervise them when using a lick mat.

A snuffle mat can come in so may shapes and sizes. This enrichment tool promotes foraging. Scatter some kibble (plus a few treats hehe) and enjoy watching them get to work! This is a great way to make meal time mentally stimulating!

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions on a grass scatter or wrapped towel! There are so many free options :)

A kong or toppl are excellent ways to help your dog settle! These tools are highly desirable, and promote licking (which is a soothing behavior). To make these tools really worth your while, FREEZE THEM! Freezing food enrichment tools is a game changer, they last so much longer. They are both super easy to use and clean! Soak them in warm water if there is any food caked on. These durable food enrichment tools should last you a while, no need for frequent repurchasing. Reach out for some Kong/Toppl mixture recipes if you need any ideas!!

This month, we’re diving into a few must know food enrichment tools! While there are many types of enrichment tools beyond just those involving food, we’ll cover those on another day. Food enrichment tools are helpful in shelters, on hot sunny days, when working on settling, or simply to add enrichment to your dog’s routine. These tools are also a fantastic way to spice up your dog’s mealtime! Every Tuesday, we’ll introduce a food enrichment tool. Stay tuned to learn about Kongs, snuffle mats, and lick mats!

DIY FLIRTPOLE!

If you know me, you know I love DIY projects and crafts! Learn how to make a flirt pole for less than $10 in less than 2 minutes. Once you have gathered all the materials needed, it’s super quick and easy. You’ll have a functional flirt pole in no time! Each client receives a flirt pole or snuffle mat with the purchase of a training program! Train with Channeling Canines to skip the drilling and get a free enrichment tool!!

All the items in this video were purchased at Home Depot. I’m a dog trainer, not Bob the Builder, so the proper terminology and safety protocols may not be used correctly (or at all) in the video or caption. 😂 However, you should still get the idea!

Materials used in this video-
• 3/4” PVC cap ($0.82 ea)
• 3/4” x 10’ PVC pipe ($6.29)
• 1/8” x 50’ rope ($5.23)
• 3/16” drill bit ($3.97)

Tips when making it:
• Add (hot, gorilla, crazy, etc.) glue or (duck, electric, etc.) tape to secure the PVC pipe cap. You can also heat up the PVC in hot water before connecting to get a super snug fit. You want the cap to be stuck on there!!
• Try using a bungee cord instead of traditional rope. I don’t know what traditional rope really is, but having some elasticity is a plus.
• The rope length is easily adjustable. Take the cap off and tie a knot at your desired length.
• Make sure your drill bit is turning clockwise. If it gets a little stuck, turn the bit counter clockwise to remove it.
• After adjusting the loop to your preferred size, make sure your knot is super tight.
• For large breeds: 3/4” - 1’ x 3’ - 4’ PVC pipe and 1/4” - 1/2’ x 4’ - 6’ rope.

Tips when using it:
• Keep the toy on the ground.
• Slightly wiggle the toy instead of waving it around in their face.
• Allow them to win the toy, don’t keep it from them the whole game, that’s not fun.
• Occasionally jerk the toy forward just before the dog gets it.

Hope you enjoy! 🫶🏼🐶

Once you have gathered all the materials needed, it’s super quick and easy. You’ll have a functional flirt pole in no time! Each client receives a flirt pole or snuffle mat with the purchase of a training program! Train with Channeling Canines to skip the drilling and get a free enrichment tool!!

All the items in this video were purchased at Home Depot. I’m a dog trainer, not Bob the Builder, so the proper terminology and safety protocols may not be used correctly (or at all) in the video or caption. 😂 However, you should still get the idea!

Materials used in this video-
• 3/4” PVC cap ($0.82 ea)
• 3/4” x 10’ PVC pipe ($6.29)
• 1/8” x 50’ rope ($5.23)
• 3/16” drill bit ($3.97)

Tips when making it:
• Add (hot, gorilla, crazy, etc.) glue or (duck, electric, etc.) tape to secure the PVC pipe cap. You can also heat up the PVC in hot water before connecting to get a super snug fit. You want the cap to be stuck on there!!
• Try using a bungee cord instead of traditional rope. I don’t know what traditional rope really is, but having some elasticity is a plus.
• The rope length is easily adjustable. Take the cap off and tie a knot at your desired length.
• Make sure your drill bit is turning clockwise. If it gets a little stuck, turn the bit counter clockwise to remove it.
• After adjusting the loop to your preferred size, make sure your knot is super tight.
• For large breeds: 3/4” - 1’ x 3’ - 4’ PVC pipe and 1/4” - 1/2’ x 4’ - 6’ rope.

Tips when using it:
• Keep the toy on the ground.
• Slightly wiggle the toy instead of waving it around in their face.
• Allow them to win the toy, don’t keep it from them the whole game, that’s not fun.
• Occasionally jerk the toy forward just before the dog gets it.

Hope you enjoy! 🫶🏼🐶

Happy New Year’s Eve, 2024 flew by!! To complete this “series” on ways you can be a responsible dog owner… VACCINES!! If you’re ever worried about your dog having too many vaccines in their system - take a titer test! They measure the level of antibodies in a blood sample which helps you determine whether or not your dog may need a specific vaccine. Have a safe and happy evening!!🥳🐶🫶🏼

Met up with an old client of mine today! I love visiting WestChester because I’m able to see some adorable faces that I miss so much! Took sweet Lucy for a walk today after receiving some loving hello kisses and wiggles :) We found a patch of snow in the park fulllll of bunny trails so of course I had to let Lucy explore. When we got back to her house after a fun and engaging walk, we played with the flirt pole and finished the visit off with a kibble scatter in the snow. I had a blast seeing her again!
