Teach an Alternative Behavior to Jumping |
A common issue that dog guardians face is a pet's exuberant jumping when family members or visitors arrive at the door. While jumping is a display of joy and enthusiasm, it can be overwhelming, and even intimidating, for some visitors. Teaching your dog alternative behaviors such as four on the floor, touch, or to settle on a designated mat or spot offers the dog a clear alternative to jumping and helps the dog channel excitement into a calmer, more controlled behavior.

Fun Tricks For Dogs in Shelters |
|
|
| Each year millions of wonderful dogs find themselves in animal shelters, waiting eagerly for loving homes. However, the shelter environment can be stressful for these dogs, making it challenging for them to showcase their true personalities to potential adopters. It is important to find creative ways to bring out the dogs’ charm and unique qualities in order to increase their chances of adoption. One method is to teach shelter dogs fun tricks, such as the “wave” behavior. |

CTP of the Month: Monica Callahan |
|
|
| As she was completing her degrees in biology and pre-veterinary medicine, Monica Callahan, KPA CTP, decided to switch lanes from vet school studies to an animal-behavior job. “I had fallen in love with training my two Dalmatians, Delta and Doc,” she explains. She investigated in-person and online dog-training schools but was not impressed until she came across the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) Dog Trainer Professional (DTP) program. |
