What is something you wish your dog did better? I’m looking for ideas for a Facebook live or maybe even a YouTube video if we get enough requests. Respond or tag me @tarathetrainer in your own post

@ChrisEvans Hey Cap, just a little shout out here. I wanted to let you know that Service Dogs, as adorable and wonderful as they are, should be considered medical equipment. You wouldn’t run off stage and pet Bucky’s prosthetic arm, would you? (My own dog for tax)

[The Academy @tarathetrainer]

Unfortunately, celebrity or not, a true service dog shouldn’t be distracted from their job. Talk to the handler before ever petting a service dog - you may inadvertently be harming the handler.

Amazing podcast from ⁦@wonderpups⁩ about frustration and effective ways to manage the situations that create it. I’m going to have to implement something with my own kiddo, who barks when we leave home. #whatsyourproblembehaviour https://t.co/gkLspLToYc

The animals together in our main pasture for the 1st time this year. Donkeys were surprised to see a goat stampede led by Dulce the alpaca! Shout outs to little Corgi for keeping up with the herd & to Chow, who needed a little help to figure out where everyone went! #RanchKPCT

@tweetmommybop Einstein the parrot. I’d love to talk with their handler. @Einsteinparrot

It’s not just how you raise them - it’s how you breed them. Genetics plays a huge role in temperament. https://t.co/ynn57nlvqk

Word of the day: conditioned emotional response (CER). They are defined as emotional responses learned in association to a stimuli. https://t.co/CIZ10lNPoc

Word of the day: latency. It’s defined as “the delay before a transfer of data begins following an instruction for its transfer.” In the case of dog training, it’s the time between your cue and the beginning of the behaviour; and low latency is preferred! https://t.co/xuRTsoju3v

Here’s the 5 Second Rule for Petting Dogs. Thanks to @grishastewart for creating this video

What does consent look like to a dog? Allowing them to approach when ready, not crowding their space, 5 second touch, and just giving them respect. Oh, and cuddles when they are ready!

@TailsLife Thanks for the mention!!
