Introducing Leg Weaves to a Puppy |
|
|
| Canine freestyle, often referred to as "dog dancing," is a captivating sport that showcases the unique bond between dogs and their handlers. Within this creative discipline, there are various moves and techniques that add flair and excitement to performances. One of these mesmerizing and fundamental maneuvers is the leg weave. Performing a leg weave, the dog moves through and around the handler's legs gracefully and in a rhythmic and coordinated manner. |

Animal Training Recipes, Rules, and Principles |
|
|
| “As a lecturer and coach, my ultimate goal is to teach principles, rather than "recipes” and rules. A solid understanding of principles lets students solve a wide variety of problems independently. However, I have found that offering recipes, suggesting rules, and imparting principles all have their place in developing skilled trainers.” Ken Ramirez shares his reflections on animal training on The Ranch blog- check out the link below to learn more! |

CTP of the Month: Lorraine Martinez |

| "My heart dog, Dolly, was rescued at 8 weeks of age from dog fighting," said Lorraine Martinez, Founder and CEO of LOMA Behavior and Training and KPA's featured CTP of the Month. "Dolly's loving nature and exceptional ability to defuse the aggressive behaviors of other puppies rescued from dog fighting contributed significantly to my development as a trainer. Her exceptional perseverance allowed her to stay focused on a task for hours; she didn't give up on figuring out a problem. Dolly helped me hone my skills as a trainer more than any other dog."
