Bio:
Maple is a loverboy to those who understand how to approach him. He's affraid of men who think they can play rough with him. He is a softie. Kids make him extremely excited. His most favorite thing is squirrels. Regardless of what he is doing, he will run for those lil fluffies any time of any day. I love how passionate he is about it. He super loves hiking since it involves exercise AND squirrel sniffing. If I'm not outa bed by nine or ten he will come snuggle up with me, load me up with kisses and tell me its time to go peepee! :D He has been wagging his tail at me more and more recently. What a cutie patootie!

Ever wonder what force-free training is?

There is a great diversity of training styles that have evolved over the past several decades. The latest and greatest methods are based on scientific research and field studies. My training style originates from the mass of scientific research done on animal and human behavior and learning theories in the past few decades.
The label 'force-free' means not only do I employ positive training, I don't use any harmful or degrading methods. Showing the dog the right way to do things and rewarding frequently is much more productive than telling the dog what not to do and not showing him what is okay.
All of this doesn't mean you can't tell your dog if he does do something wrong, we just don't make it a big deal. A simple 'eh, eh' and redirecting the dog onto a desired behavior is easy enough and doesn't make the dog fear you! Think of your relationship with your companions as a fluid friendship. Rather than invoking fear upon our companions, we improve our relationships, and therefore compliance, by showing them the right way to interact and live in this human society, all while increasing their confidence! Effective communication is absolutely essential to any lasting relationship!
More times than not people forget to tell their dogs when they are doing something good. So let's all do our dogs a favor and use 'Good boy! or girl!' more often! The more a behavior occurs the more likely it is to reoccur!

I hope you enjoyed the read!

we played in the yard yesterday, :) he just makes my heart leap with happiness when he is jolly. that goofy face prodding me for more play :P

he is so in tune to my every move and emotion. i hope to bring together pets and their people through training and show them just how deep their connection can be with their dogs!!!

my bugaloo has been such a jollybutt recently. we've been going to the park more and playing games everywhere we go. he just had me laughing so hard i couldn't stop. he thought it was funny too--> wagging his stiff little tail and barking at me and cinnamon. too much fun!
I LOVE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT!!!! it has changed our lives SO much. i love when he is happy!!!!! he now enjoys seeing other dogs from a distance. the gentle leader isn't our favorite thing-- it pulls the skin on his face :/ but it helps when he gets carried away. natural balance treat roll-lamb. his favorite treat when we see other dogs.
