Dog sniffing walks are decompressing walks that promote relaxation and engagement. There are so many benefits to incorporating these into your dog's enrichment. https://t.co/IQCSs2FMCp

Parents: remember, you are ALWAYS modeling behavior for your child to learn. Model and teach your child what he/she can do that will give your dog reason to feel comfortable, safe and happy. More : https://t.co/Aa4F3nQdAh

@Lawson_TV Not only is this a great story, but you did a super job using people first language in your reporting! I used to do PR for the Inclusion Network and really appreciate your attention to that. Excellent reporting!

If you've worked with me you know I use sounds like Good, Yes or a click a lot. Those sounds are called markers. I've explained more about marker training, its benefits and how to use it effectively in my latest @CincyPetMag article.

I see it happen. When people ask their dog to sit, they they pull out a treat, hold it in front of their dog’s face and tell their dog to sit. This is called luring, one strategy used in dog training. There are problems with using lures. More: https://t.co/fPfpoUihlH

What I love most about these photos is that Auggie was so afraid of me when we first met. She reacted in barking/lunging/backing up. These were taken today. She has made so much progress. She is learning there is a lot more to enjoy than to be afraid of in life.
