Using Non-Food Reinforcers for Outdoor Training |
When you are training outdoors, there are many distractions competing for your dog’s attention. To compete effectively, try asking your dog for small behaviors and make your reinforcement substantial. Reinforcers do not always need to be treats; rewards can be anything that your dog finds highly reinforcing! |

Cone of Comfort: Teaching Your Dog to Wear a Cone |
|
|
| Wearing a medical apparatus is seldom enjoyable, and dogs are no exception. However, there may come a time when a dog's well-being necessitates wearing a cone. Whether the dog has recently undergone surgery, sustained a wound, or needs protection from excessive scratching or licking, introducing the cone to the dog beforehand can make the process much smoother. |

CTP of the Month: Erin Gianella |
|
|
| “A 12-year-old corgi/beagle mix, Gus has been with me through thick and thin, even as my canine partner in the DTP program. Working to resolve his behavioral concerns, including leash reactivity and separation anxiety, taught me about patience. Gus demonstrated that training isn't linear; progress can vary from day to day. His challenges made me a more patient and understanding trainer. In training Gus, I learned the importance of not just training behaviors but understanding the "why" behind them.” Learn more about Erin and how she encourages her clients to give dogs more choices in their everyday lives.
