Sports for the Urban Canine: May 2010
http://runroverrandom.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sports for the Urban Canine. Thursday, May 6, 2010. I will venture to say that the place behvaior is one of the most under used behaviors out there. You'll see traditional leash and collar trainers use this behavior all the time, but the positive folks.not so much. I jsut don't get why! Some dogs need help with their off button and this is one way to do it. I love having the chocolate in the kitchen with me, but man o man does she pick the worst places to lie down! We have our CDX to prove it! So next ti...

Sports for the Urban Canine: Spin and Twirl
http://runroverrandom.blogspot.com/2010/10/spin-and-twirl.html
Sports for the Urban Canine. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Goal: Get your dog to make a full circle to the right and the left. Like many tricks the dog starts in front of you. With a treat lure the dog's head toward his tail. Be ready to break it down if he bails off the lure. Keep luring until the dog makes a complete circle either to the left or the right. Now try it to the other side. Emily Stoddard, CPDT-KA. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Emily Stoddard, CPDT-KA. View my complete profile.

Sports for the Urban Canine: Balance the Bone
http://runroverrandom.blogspot.com/2010/10/balance-bone.html
Sports for the Urban Canine. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Goal: To balance a bone at the end of your dog's nose. You'll need an evenly balanced treat for this trick. Start with your first two fingers under the dog's collar right under his chin, your thumb and last two fingers on either side of his muzzle. Lightly hold his muzzle still. If your dog fights this position, pause here and feed him until he's comfortable with you holding him like this. Emily Stoddard, CPDT-KA. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sports for the Urban Canine: Place!
http://runroverrandom.blogspot.com/2010/10/place.html
Sports for the Urban Canine. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Goal: Get you do to jump up onto an object and stay until released. You can slowly increase the height of the object that you ask your dog to jump on and decrease the size of the landing zone. This is a huge trust behavior and requires a lot of confidence in the dog. Get creative with the objects you ask your dog to jump up on! They make great photo opportunities. Emily Stoddard, CPDT-KA. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Emily Stoddard, CPDT-KA.

The Lug of My Life: July 2013
http://lugofmylife.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The Lug of My Life. Reflections on Living with, Loving and Losing My Best Friend. Thursday, July 25, 2013. Last week, when I read that the infamous Schoep. Like so many other animal lovers who have silently cheered on Schoep and John from afar; I mourned for John's tremendous loss because I could barely function the days following Finn's passing. Getting out of bed was sometimes too difficult and I would find myself wandering around my neighborhood, freezing, with Finn's leash and collar in my pocket.

Sports for the Urban Canine: October 2010
http://runroverrandom.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sports for the Urban Canine. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Goal: Get the dog to stand between your legs and remain there. The next step to this is moving forward and backward while the dog maintains position. To add movement keep your hands at your stomach and take one step forward or backward. Praise and treat the dog for staying between your legs. If he comes out before being released mark with an 'oops! Or 'uh-oh' and lure him back. You can add changes in position to make if harder still. You can slowl...

Sports for the Urban Canine: Teaching 'go to bed'
http://runroverrandom.blogspot.com/2011/04/teaching-go-to-bed.html
Sports for the Urban Canine. Saturday, April 16, 2011. Teaching 'go to bed'. To set this up right you'll need a dog bed or blanket - to make it easier on the dog, make sure that the blanket is big enough for the dog to fit fully on, a raised edge will help too - and small, tasty treats. You can branch out and teach this behavior on a small rug that you can take with you. This is a great way to get a dog to settle and hang out in new places, outdoor cafes, and even classes!
