I'm Keith! My 1st dog, Buddy Rhodes(a rescue), forced me to learn training; I’ve since successfully trained 100s(!) of canine companions in #NYC. The secret?: I train YOU to interact w/#Dogs the right way! POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL TRAINING— BuddyR.com/training
Pinned
If your #DOGtrainer is working w/your dog but not you; it's a waste of💲; if they're not teaching positive reinforcement techniques, they're a waste of💲. If they're not explaining how YOUR behavior affects your #dog, you're wasting your💲💲. These are 3 basic tenets to remember.

Quick tip: When driving in the car w/ur #dogs, whether they're strapped in or not, every time you hit the break, tell your dog to Hold On, as if saying to Sit, what you'll find is they'll start girding themselves for stops, and holding on better during the drive. Especially helpful w/a sudden stop!

This week we rescued Eve!!!
Eve was found stray (abandoned).
She needs heartworm treatment and medication for Lyme.
Her ears are badly infected too.
Thank you to everyone who helps us help pups!

Happy FriYay, BlueSky! Here's one of the cute bandanas I won in the auction.

Also, If you're following me and you're not a BOT, give me a gentle boop if I haven't followed back.
I'm just a dog easily distracted, so I might have missed you! 🙃😘

I became a behavioral dog trainer almost by accident (well, I HAD to learn it when 3 other trainers said my dog, BUDDY RHODES, was untrainable)...I was a writer 1st! So PLEASE enjoy this FUN except from my memoir about my old dog, Buddy!

Quick tip: If u see a dog on your walk w/tail tucked between its legs, ears pinned back, &/or head hunched down, this dog is experiencing anxiety and MAY BE prone to snap—⚠️keep your dog AWAY just to be safe! (A later post will detail how to fix if this is YOUR dog!)

If you move house and "forget" to take your pet with you, your entire genetic line should be wiped out of existence

My dog Buddy was a tough-guy—broke up fights between other dogs at the park, once tackled a dog 2x his size b/c it was picking on his friend, stopped 3(!) muggings in our neighborhood...&, like most dogs, HATED anything spicy. But this fluff?? LOVES spice & is STILL waiting for more of these puffs!😆

Just to clarify, when I say below "entice your dog w/a treat," that does not mean hold the treat at dog's face & say his name over & over.😜 What you do is show the treat and start walking away from the thing on the ground, give POSITIVE encouragement and when he's fully w/you, give the treat! #Dogs
It is SHOCKINGLY *easy* to teach #Dogs Not to eat garbage on walks:
1. Get OFF ur phone, pay attention😉
2. Bring HIGH-VALUE treats you ONLY give on walks
3. Lead ur dog; do NOT let dog lead you
4. When dog spots something, entice w/treat, DON'T give it or say GOOD! until dog's attn is fully on YOU!

Have I shown y'all my favorite gif of my guy Jackson Bird yet for #TongueOutTuesday? I made this about a year & change after getting Jack. Rehabilitated by this time, he seemed to like posing for the camera!

Walked past someone w/a muzzle on their cute Corgi:
ME: You have a muzzle on a Corgi??
HER: He eats stuff off the ground.
ME: I can teach you in 5 minutes how to fix that.
HER: Sir, I'm on the phone!
ME: Well, then, step 1: Get Off Your Phone & Pay Attention To Your Dog‼️ Duh.

Seriously🤦‍♂️ #Dogs #pets
