Balancing Paws Dog Training

They told you to “redirect it”…how’s that going?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Everyone wants to train their dog but most people (including other trainers) don’t realize you cannot train an overwhelmed, overexcited dog.

They’re not choosing to ignore you…they just literally cannot process what you’re saying when they are in that state of mind.

So what do most people do?

They:

👉🏼 Add more excitement with words
👉🏼 Bombard them with treats
👉🏼 Try to train through it

And now the dog is even further gone. That’s why nothing sticks.

Before reaching anything you need to be able to settle the dog down enough to communicate.

Not shut them down or punish them.

Just help them get into a state where they can actually:

👉🏼 think
👉🏼 process
👉🏼 respond

From there you can actually start to do some training!

Most training programs live in excitement.

We train focus, patience, and self-control first around here.

That’s why we were able to get more results in 4 minutes with Augie here than any of the other trainers they’ve worked with were able to do in his whole life. 🐶
