Well, we haven’t seen it in a while….a run for our money. Chloe, is for sure, one of the toughest our Long Island Dog Training School has seen in a while, in a real while that is.

Chloe’s father (human one, that is) joked with me about reducing the cost, because Chloe was trained to stay while food was being put down in their house. I chuckled a bit, but Rocco, Chloe’s father most certainly had the last laugh as Chloe and I made our exit.

Chloe is an exceptionally high powered canine and people oriented puppy; she goes from 0-60 in less than a second once fixed, which can make training a bit challenging (her trigger signs are not gradual and can be so fast that the handler misses it or catches it too late, easier shown than described).

Our evaluation of Chloe was right, but not accurate; we are not complaining, Dedicated Dog Training is always up for a challenge….we got one!

Our agreement states 2-3 week board and train program, good thing, because needless to say, we are probably heading closer to the three mark. Although, thinking back, Rocco, Chloe’s owner, made a statement to me as I was leaving to the tune of: see you in a couple of weeks….or, if you need a little longer.

At any rate, below is a few videos of Chloe, probably a little less than a week into our board and train program. Stay tuned for more!

Below is a video of what Chloe enjoys doing when she is not in training mode. Most Long Island Dog Trainers that have a board and train program believe in a balanced regime, we are certainly amongst them as you can see.

Welcome to our Long Island Board and Train Program with our latest  Labrador Retriever… Bailey.  The video clip below demonstrates how SIMPLE our methodology is (also how good our customer relations are, Bailey’s mom is very involved with her dogs, so I promised to post a video earlier than usual)- as this is Bailey’s first day of training. 

According to our newest Long Island Dog Board and Train members’ owner, bailey was an excessive leash puller on walks.  Prior to leaving their home last night her owners expressed that as one of their chief concerns so, Jill… below is a teaser video clip to help your cope with your separation anxiety (lol).

Our latest Long Island Board and Train Program member said farewell to us yesterday after completing the program; however, she did not say good-bye to us before I had a chance to take her back to the park that she loves so much- Cedar Creek, located in Seaford, Long Island. Baby has taught this Long Island Dog Trainer something- she may be the fastest Labrador Retriever in Hicksville, Long Island, maybe New York too.  Anyway she was a pleasure to have in my home, where all dog board and train participants stay. our

She is a very loving puppy, who displays nothing but affection, and one thing is for sure, she loves the new freedom she has, as displayed in the video below.

Our Long Island Dog Training with Baby our Labrador Retriever has been going extraordinary, she is a great student.  We have trained her in the house (the back, the front), neighborhood, parking lots, dog run, etc…Our Long Island Dog Trainingconsists of off-leash training as well as obedience on the leash.  We visit many places with your puppy or dog to expose them to similar enviroments, places and things they may be exposed to when they are returned home to you.  Baby’s Long Island Dog Training has taken her quite a few places.

The video below depicts Baby responding to the handler (me), rather than greeting and over reacting to every person that walks down the pavement.  Enjoy the video!

Why is socializing your puppy important?

Not too long ago while dog training in Brooklyn, our Long Island Dog Training School was delighted to see this Brooklyn Labrador puppy that displayed nothing but the utmost confidence.  One of the reasons for this article on SOCIALIZATION can be attributed to our Brooklyn dog training lessons with this Lab.

Socializing your puppy is a very necessary thing included in a dog’s training. A puppy who socializes well, can handle all sort of changes in the environment. If your puppy is friendly, he will be able to tackle situations appropriately for instance if kids ride their scooter over his tail or if any visitor forcibly keeps petting your puppy.

With Socializing it will be a better and safe place for your puppy to live. When Socializing your puppy kindly keep your attention to these areas:-

1. Things
2. People
3. Places
4. Other animals

To avoid any problem in the future it is necessary to keep a leash with your puppy. This will help your puppy in many perspectives like you can keep your puppy away if any cycle or car passes by.

Socializing your puppy with people is also important (Our Brooklyn Labrador Retriever was a pleasure to watch around people, his demeanor was fantastic)!  This will help them in understanding both male and female human behaviors of different ages and regions. It is very essential to take your dog somewhere outside like the park, beach and so on. Outside he gets a chance to observe lots of people, and children .They even play with children because dogs enjoy most with kids and simply love playing with them. It also helps in keeping your puppy active.

Take your puppy along with you wherever you think it is possible. It gives them the exposure to various social settings. Always remember to stay calm and relaxed when socializing your puppy it also applies in different areas like people, things or animals.

People and animal both enter in this world without knowing anybody. A puppy is just like a newborn baby who needs your support to familiarize with the world. If you don’t socialize your puppy then he might turn out to be antisocial, fearful ( fear aggression) and anxious dog.

Make your puppy socialized it is important, as it helps them interact with other dogs.  Our Brooklyn dog training prodigy…Baily was great around other dogs! This is possible by enrolling them in a puppy class. It is very essential to choose the best puppy classes available. Choose the class where they don’t teach dog by punishing them. This can have a negative impact on your puppy. He can become ferocious which is not good for people around him.

There are many preschools for dogs which start at the age of eight weeks and ends at twelve weeks. Proper socialization takes time. You have to be very patient. In the end this patience will show the result as you will notice your puppy is well behaved and very friendly.

Socializing your puppy will be a bit difficult but you can’t avoid it as it is very necessary for your dog. More quickly your dog learns to trust other animals, objects and people he will be behaving in the near future. Whenever you have time take your puppy out for socializing. You may also receive lots of appreciations from the people saying that how sweet and friendly your dog is.
