Going Mental

"Going Mental" 3 Things You Can Do to Decrease Stress and Increase Pleasure For You and Your Dog. Adding the Balance to Your Dogs Needs  Decrease Your Stress and Increase Joy The bulk of the work I do with dogs is dealing with unwanted behaviors. In many cases, I get contacted as a last resort and at that point the dog and the owners are going mental. That is, they are at whit's end and whether they know it or not so is their dog. When I tell them the problem and the solution is mental, they … [Read more...] about Going Mental! 3 Things You Can Do to Decrease Stress and Increase Pleasure For You and Your Dog

Meeting Your Dog’s Needs, Unleashed Potential Halifax.

August 21, 2017 By Guy Lapierre Leave a Comment

River

I've assessed hundreds of dogs up to this point in my career as a dog trainer. The biggest constant I see as the underlying cause of the behaviour problems presented to me is quite simple, the dog's needs are not being met.

What I'm referring to is proper physical and mental exercise and … [Read more...] about Meeting Your Dog’s Needs, Unleashed Potential Halifax.

Do Dogs Forget Obedience They Have Learned?

February 27, 2016 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Once in a while I hear people say, " I did obedience with my dog but he forgets it all now".  This is a statement that makes me shake my head. I don't believe this to be true.

Feeding Time is Training Time – Step One

January 24, 2016 By Guy Lapierre Leave a Comment

This is how my puppy, River, eats every piece of food she gets. Feeding time is training time. My dogs work for a living. This provides some of the mental stimulation they need and when combined with physical exercise most of the behaviour problems we see simply go away or are severely diminished. This is how I instruct all of my clients in the program to go about it. Some do and some don't and it is very easy to spot the difference in the dogs as a result. It isn't that you can't get … [Read more...] about Feeding Time is Training Time – Step One
