• Are dog walks a struggle? Do your dogs stop and sniff everything? Do they pull on the leash or react to other dogs and people? Do they weave around, wandering in and out of your legs, almost tripping you as they tangle you up in the leash!

What if walks could be enjoyable? To make that happen:
1. Keep tabs on your dog at all times
2. Anticipate and react early
3. Lead with confidence

#throwbackfriday The most memorable dog I've ever owned, was Vasilka! She was my #seizurealertdog who always was there for me when I needed her most. I get teary eyed just writing this! She's in doggy heaven, and I will always miss her independent loving spirit, helpful heart, and the love that she brought to my life. I wish dogs would live forever! They deserve the best life possible, and when it's taken away, who knows where they go? However, even though I love all the pets that I care for and train, she will always be the one who made the most difference for me, and was the most special Service Animal to me, who saved me from drowning in my own vomit. She is my best companion ever!

Have you thought about fun ways to build a strong bond with your dog and provide them with mental stimulation?

Why not try this DIY Fun Fall Brain Game for Dogs!

Bobbing for Treats (not apples) 🍎 Water Game:

This is an interactive game between dog & owner. It can be played outdoors or in a room with water resistant floors.

The level of difficulty is a moderate brain tester. We recommend you teach “take it” first.

You will need a basin with water and treats that float, dog towel, and a mat for placing under the basin if playing indoors.

* Select an appropriately sized and weighted basin to resist being tipped by an enthusiastic dog.
* Fill it about 2/3 full with water for extra stability and to reduce spillage.
* The basin’s lip is key, as it makes the dog retrieve floating items by lifting them out rather than just batting them sideways.

Dipping Down For Treats
* Float a treat/ball/toy
* Encourage your dog to “take it.”

For Sensitive Dogs
* To build tolerance, hold the treat in your hand on the surface of the water.
* Gradually lower your hand a fraction further each time.

* Your dog may initially paw at the water to get the item (s).
* They will soon learn they must use their mouth to successfully grab the treat (s) or toy.
* Praise all early attempts (even failures) to keep them from giving up.

* Eventually, your dog should be able to take the treat(s) or toy straight from the surface.
* Practice with different sized treats and toys for fun.
* For a challenge, place different toys on the surface and ask your dog to pick a specific item.

Scatter Feeding for Reactive Dogs:

Scatter feeding is a simple and effective game to help manage a dog’s reactivity to triggers like other dogs.

Before a potential trigger appears, scatter a handful of high-value treats on the ground. This encourages your dog to use their nose to find the treats, distracting them until the trigger is gone.

This technique is most effective if you can anticipate triggers before your dog sees them. Look out for situations like going around blind corners, through doorways, or in and out of elevators.

By redirecting your dog’s attention to the treats, you can help them feel less anxious and potentially reduce or even eliminate their reactive behaviors on walks.

Building focus and strengthening bonds through playful training sessions. Watch your pup thrive with attention.

This Chair Game is a fun FOCUS GAME that you and your pet might enjoy! Here’s what it’s all about….

What it’s about?

This calm focus game teaches your dog to look to you-even when something exciting (like a treat!) is right in front of them. It starts with treat placement on a chair to encourage eye contact, and gradually adds movement and distraction.

The goal? Build strong, voluntary check-ins and calm engagement in dynamic settings.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Set the stage - Place a treat visibly on the chair while your dog watches. Let them eat it without a cue.

Wait for the check-in - After they eat the treat, stay still and quiet. When your dog looks up at you, mark it with a “Yes!” and immediately place another treat on the chair.

Repeat the pattern - Allow your dog to eat, pause, and offer eye contact—then reward by placing the next treat.

Add movement - Start alternating where you place the treat: on the ground, then back on the chair, to keep their attention shifting and dynamic.

Introduce distractions - Once your dog consistently checks in, add low-level distractions nearby. Mark and reward every glance toward you.

Trainer Tips:
• Avoid giving verbal cues—let your dog offer eye contact on their own.

• Use this game to reinforce calm check-ins before meals or during downtime.

• Works especially well with leash-reactive or easily overstimulated dogs in the long run.
