Redemption Dog Training LLC

I had this great caption written and IG choose to not include it. Ugh.

So... if you're looking to start patio training, go somewhere less crazy. We chose an empty park. I got lunch and then we hung out.
This is the foundation.

Haley and Riley are figuring out this in public stuff super well!

If you want a patio dog, our Day Train program is for you!

'She won't let me put a collar on her'
Lady Bug was adopted a few months ago and her new mom and I are pretty sure she's never worn a collar her whole life!
So... I walked in and evaluated. She's sweet, fairly social, but sensitive to movement and she knows that food is used as a way to bribe and manhandle her.
This is the part where I did the thing most trainers would balk at.
I took her toy and slowly but surely built a little bit of competition. You want the toy? Let's play next to that collar. And she did.
Then we started on the handling part, but I made it her idea. I instigated personal play, like a dog.
Soon she was running up to me, tagging me and waiting for me to do it back.
I spent amost a full hour on the floor, building a relationship. I had already told her mom we weren't putting the collar on today, I could've but it would've been incredibly offensive and we've got time.
