If I had just 10 minutes to train your dog ⬇️ ✅ Start with play. 2–3 minutes of whatever your dog loves — tug, chase, praise, tricks, rough play. It builds your bond and makes you more valuable than the environment. ✅ Next, recall games. Recall is freedom. It’s safety. Try this: run one way, drop a treat, as they eat it, run the other way and call them. Repeat. Simple. Fun. Effective. ✅ Last, loose lead drills. Up and down. Turn often. Reward engagement. You're teaching them it pays to stick with you. 🔹 Only got 10 minutes? Start here. 🔹 Follow for more no-fluff, practical dog training tips #dogtraining #dogs #dogtrainer #dogsofinstagram

If you have a reactive dog, try this #dogtraining #southenddogtraining

Dogs are associative learners — they connect actions with outcomes. When a dog pulls and the walk keeps going, pulling is rewarded. But when the walk stops, that feedback loop breaks. By waiting for a “check-in” (eye contact, turning back), you’re teaching your dog that engaging with you = forward motion. They learn: 🔸 Pulling = no reward 🔸 Checking in = reward (movement, sometimes praise/treats) 🔸 You = the most important part of the walk It takes patience, but it builds the foundation for loose leash walking that actually sticks. For training treats, we prefer the freeze dried liver from @northwestnaturals.pdx Have you tried this method? #DogTrainingTips #LooseLeashWalking #PuppyTraining #LeashTraining #PositiveReinforcement #BalancedTraining #DogBehavior #TrainingTakesTime #PuppyProgress #newpuppyparents #newpuppy #puppymom

If your dog barks non-stop, here’s one really weird trick to stop it: The “Singing Method.” (Yes, really.) 🐾 How It Works: • Action: When your dog starts barking, don’t yell or correct. Instead, start softly singing or humming in a calm, low voice—like you’re lulling a baby to sleep. • Your dog will pause, get confused, and often stop barking just to figure out what’s happening. 🐾 Why It Works: • Interrupts the Barking Pattern: Barking is often fueled by your reactions. When you respond calmly with something completely unexpected, it resets their emotional state. • Models Calm Energy: Your tone and body language shift the vibe from reactive to relaxed—your dog mirrors that. 🐾 Pro Tip: Use the same tune every time you do this. It becomes a calming cue your dog starts to recognize. Want more weird, science-backed techniques that actually stop barking? There’s a free dog training workshop that shows you how to fix barking, reactivity, and more—trusted by over 1 million dog parents. Comment “READY” and I’ll send you more information on the free dog training workshop that shows you how.

Why I teach them👇 Which does your pup know? One of my favorite things about trick training is how tricks can build on each other. These “foundational” tricks are some of the best building blocks! For example, once your dog learns “touch,” they can learn “tell me a secret.” Once your dog knows “fetch” and “head in,” they can learn “clean up your toys.” And after your dog masters “shake,” they can try out “wave” and “cross your paws!” The 10 tricks in this video help your dog learn to use different parts of their body in different ways and interact with objects in various ways. They are the perfect foundation for learning more “flashy” tricks. You have to start with the basics! - 🐶 Follow @lunathetrickdog for more dog tricks! 📚 “Epic Dog Tricks” hits shelves June 23! #dogtricks #trickdog
