All Dogs are Good Dogs Podcast

Obviously there is exceptions to this podcast but I’m sharing my thoughts on multi dog households. Everyone needs to be on the same page, which means owner is the leader, parent, guardian etc. Your dogs also learn from each other and if one dog is out of control they’re learning that the human isn’t in control and can’t help. Let me know what you think I’m with working with multiple dog households.  For more information, follow us @Packleaderhelp or Packleaderhelp.com

Trigger warning for SA. Whew... I got through it that's what matters! This episode is going to ruffle a few feathers and I'm okay with that. It's important that young trainers and people who aren't familiar with the dog training industry know what actually goes on behind closed doors.  I discuss what new trainers can expect, how to maintain your mental health while creating a small business and the best advice I wish I was given when I first started.  For more information on PLH please head to Packleaderhelp.com or follow us @Packleaderhelp

Take your time getting to know your rescue dog. This should be a slow and exciting process but many times, owners and rescues, set the dog up to fail.  or Packleaderhelp.com 1. Make them wait calmly before exiting your car 2. Take them for a long long long structured walk (where they are not pulling you everywhere, sniffing, zig zagging, fixating, going wherever they want, etc) 3. On leash, guide them through your home allowing them to smell and then put them in their crate or on their dog bed and allow them to relax 4. Create a routine based on invitation versus expectation where YOU are in control of all your dogs decisions, including where to go inside and outside, what state of mind they are in and how the greet people, objects and other animals 5. Reward only a calm state of mind by only allowing them to exit the crate when calm, fed when calm, allowed outside when calm, leashed when calm, petted when calm, and so on 6. Allow them to smell new people, animals environments while not exciting them by saying things such as "Oh what is that buddy?!", "Do you want to go see that?", "What do you think boy??" 7. Walk them everyday for at least 1 hour 8. Crate them!!!!
