Dylan doing a great job of transitioning and continuing the training. Coco's family did a great job of doing the homework and of course Coco is a young prodigy at only 16 weeks!

Blue at 11 months is doing a wonderful job of not pulling on leash, giving into pressure on the leash, sitting at curbs, auto sitting when stopping and "Let's Go" turning away from distractions. Such wonderful foundations coming all together for a wonderful walk together :)

Training my friend's cat to high five, excuse the soft voice, for some reason I feel like i need to whisper when training animals...

My friend's cat, Mike, the first cat I trained for my Academy and quick learner, this entire process took about 30 minutes at my friend's apartment.

Clicker training Kit to get him to interact with a ball (forward momentum is the clicking points). I'm thinking about putting it on a "Let's Roll" verbal cue. Any suggestions of a different cue would be appreciated :)

Kit learning how to nod his head. This was accomplished by shaping little head movements. I'm thinking of using the "Agree" verbal cue so that I can have him agree with statements that I make by then saying "Kit, don't you agree?" Any better verbal cues are always appreciated :)

Guy learning to drop items out of his mouth on verbal "Trade" cue.

Guy is learning Down, we developed the body position, now we are working on duration as well as loading up the verbal "Down" cue.


Guy learning that jumping up to counter surf is wasted energy. Reinforcing sits and downs while increasing duration of the behavior before reinforcement.

Guy learning how to sit politely near distractions of food on the table. Developing an internal skill for Guy to know what to do, Sit, Down, calm behaviors get rewarded, sometimes from the table. We are also slowly trying to increase the duration of the behavior. You may notice that the time between reinforcement of doing the correct behaviors (sits, downs, calming behaviors) versus the old undesirable behavior (jumping up) drops and the undesirable behavior resurfaces. When Guy does jump up, we just block his access so they he is not successful in his attempt.
