I’ve only watched two of your videos so far, but they were both so excellent and packed full of such great advice! I offer force-free dog adventures and training, and have been looking into a facility and adding doggy daycare to my services. I very much plan on using an enrichment type model for my daycare so these videos are just hitting home for me! By far the best content on this subject I’ve come by so far.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@ConjurintHorror]

I've been watching your videos as much as I can. I did not know you had an online course!!! That's definitely something I'm looking into. These are so helpful even for a dog attendant!

[@TheDogGurus]

That's fantastic to hear you've been finding the videos helpful! Yes, we offer an online course that you might find especially valuable. Our Dog Evaluations Course is designed to be very affordable and provides a step-by-step guide on implementing a dog evaluations system into your business.

Both of these courses can be incredibly beneficial for dog attendants like yourself, enhancing your skills and improving the overall experience for the dogs in your care.

Great video - detailed and informative 🙏

[@lmbuehrer12]

Can you guys point me to a video or create a video that goes through terms of behavior? Like Leash reactivity - what is your definition of that? I think it would be helpful to non dog trainers to understand all of the terms while listening to the videos! Thanks in advanced :)

[@TheDogGurus]

For leash reactivity we really mean dogs that bark and lunge at other dogs when the leashed dog sees the other dogs.

We have 2 dogs that come to daycare.when a dog is laying on its back they will get onto of dog and become super aggressive. Wanting to know what they behavior is called if it has a name for it

[@TheDogGurus]

Hi Sondra, at the very least we would consider that bullying behavior and not acceptable in daycare. It could also be the dogs don’t understand the dog’s behavior of laying on the back and want to stop it or it could be they see an opportunity to take advantage. At any rate, I’m sure it is not appreciated by the dog who is lying down and you would want to intervene and decide if those two dogs should be together in playgroup (maybe they don’t do it when they are not together?) or if they are suitable for playgroup at all depending on how aggressive their behavior is

[@AliciasHouseofPaws]

I agree with the above comment, either bullying or worry about what the dog is doing on its back. We have a golden retriever like this, we started keeping him on a long line, taking him away when he did that, learning the signs that he was about to do that and intervening earlier. Taking him away, scatter feeding, doing tricks, any other suitable activity to engage him in. Within a month or two, he’s doing great. Much calmer, isn’t bothered by dogs rolling about any more. He can sometimes go over and have a look, but no aggression anymore at all. 😊
