Tucker Belle learning the COME command after the December 26, 2010 blizzard! If you didn’t notice our Long Island Board and Train program trains in just about any weather!
I am assuming many Long Island Dog Trainers feel the same as I do when I say: What is the difference between us and mail carriers?
We are both:
- working in inclement weather
- delivering something (someone)
- on time constraints
Below you will find one of those Long Island Dog Trainers working instead of roasting marshmallows!
Our Long Island Dog Board and Train Program strongly supports ‘real life’ dog and puppy training.
We are advocates of placing your puppy or dog into a program that affords them the chance to reside in similar conditions as they did in your home.
By employing this type of dog training we are able to see what you have been exhibiting (your reason for becoming a member of our Long Island Dog Training Program in the first place!)
Many pet owners ask why we only accept one dog at a time into our dog training program, the answer is simple, we want to have your puppy or dog live with us in a pets’ capacity.
By allowing your puppy or dog to live as a pet, we are better equipped to train your dog, they like it better too!
Below is a video our Long Island Dog Board and Train member Tucker Belle enjoying a holiday while being trained, she is multi-tasking!
!st Day of our Long Island Dog TRAINING! Here we are teaching Tucker Belle to Pay Attention to the handler, while simultaneously training the foundation for the COME command.
Watch how Tucker Belle is able to listen on moderate distraction. More videos to COME! No pun intended.
Day #2 for Tucker Belle: Just enjoying some more play time before we begin our elite Long Island Dog Training. She is very comfortable around the house in different situations, she is giving signs that she feels like part of the family.
This is so important to accomplish prior to training. Our Long Island Dog Training School firmly believes in having the puppy or dog become comfortable in the environment before introducing them to training; that way they are only dealing with the ordinary stress that comes from learning new things.
OK, will be posting some training videos late afternoon.
Our Long Island Dog Training board and train welcomes our latest member, Tucker Belle comes. This is the first day, actually 1st 15 minutes at our place. As you can see she has warmed up pretty fast!
Please stay tuned… tomorrow we will start to post her training videos!
Here are a few videos of Chloe training in Long Island’s West Hills Dog Park. Of course, Chloe wanted NO part of the small dog park, whence the big dogs you see on our video (lol).
Our Long Island Dog Training Programs, especially our Dog Board and Train Program, strongly encourages training in a variety of areas.
Here are a few videos of our Boston Terrier Chloe doing her thing!
Here is Chloe our latest Long Island Board and Train member demonstrating the SIT command under some distraction.
Here is Holden in a “SIT” implied stay!
A little Long Island Dog Training as we take a family walk with Cooper. This goes to show that training should be integrated with your everyday life to reach maximum optimization.
Before employing the services of our Long Island Dog Training School many pet owners fail to realize the importance of the “maintenance area” of dog training.
We constantly preach about how imperative it is for you to find some way to incorporate your puppy or dogs’ training into your daily life, this will not only enhance the relationship between your dog and you but, will keep the training flowing and ultimately become a way of life for your dog, second nature.
Off-Leash heeling with Cooper!
…playing with Niko, that didn’t last long (lol)
This is Holden’s first training session with our Long Island Dog Board and Train program. In this training session we are teaching Holden to stay next to the handler. This type of training is known as foundation work.
My German Shepherd is there to maintain the order (lol). She really is there to answer any questions Holden may have, she has been through the training before.
A few sessions after with Holden
Cooper and Daisy share some water after playing outside!
It has been a while since we posted our Long Island Dog Board and Train videos, this doesn’t mean that we haven’t been busy, just the opposite.
Enough said, so let’s catch up a bit. We chose Holden for this video. Holden, a one year old Boston Terrier getting to know my (2) dogs (German Shepherd and Labrador Retriever).
Our Long Island Dog Board and Train Program believes in introducing our members to our dogs and the new environment prior to the commencement of dog training.
We believe in order to yield the best results your puppy or dog should be comfortable prior to taking on any new challenges.
So, here is Holden, a member of our Long Island Dog Training School getting to know our dogs!
How do I Stop my Dog from eating her Poop?
Our Long Island Dog Training School comes across this question many times on our evaluations: how do I stop my dog from eating her poop?
Usually it is the genetic tendency of the dog to eat and digest its poop as it likes the taste of poop. If the dog is trained from the beginning since it was a little pup then it would always makes a habit of not tasting it.
Besides this, there are some external factors which lead to this habit.
When a dog is given less food after a long gap between meals it feels very hungry and starts eating whatever is around.
Dogs with parasite infection in their intestines would also eat their poop as it changes the blood components and feacal matter.
Some dogs feel if the owner finds poop in the house they will be punished and make a mental condition to eat it.
Dogs which are not in touch with other dogs and people feel separation anxiety and boredom and may become habituated to eat their poop.
Mother dog cares for her puppies and to keep them clean she tries to eat the feces of her puppies.
Some dogs develop the habit of eating poop when they are on long medication treatment such as antibiotics.
If you are wondering “how do I stop my dog from eating her poop?” our Long Island Dog Training School hopes the following will help you:-
1. Maintain good physical health of the dog by taking it out for physical exercise regularly, many of our Long Island Dog Training members know how much we stress this.
2. Maintain a daily routine of feeding it food which should be supplied with enough nutritious contents.
3. Regular medical examination of the dog by an authorized veterinarian should be conducted.
4. Start training the dog when it is a puppy. Take the help of a professional dog trainer.
5. Socialization of dogs is very important as they love to play with other dogs; taking your dog out to a nearest dog park will help it to overcome separation anxiety and boredom.
6. Keep the area of the dog clean and supervise it when it is in the area meant for relief.
7. Changing the diet of the dog helps sometimes.
8. Adding food additives in the diet helps to overcome the nutrient deficiency the dog is suffering from and which it tries to find in her own poop.
9. Walking along with your dog each time and training it not to do it whenever it tries to smell poop before eating.
10. Never punish the dog if it accidentally poops inside the home as it becomes its mental tendency to hide the truth and start eating its poop to save itself from punishment.
11. A high content fat diet should be added to the meals.
Hope you have found the answer to your question “how do I stop my dog from eating her poop?”

Many of you may remember seeing this Golden-doodle a few times on our Long Island Dog Training Blog; that’s because Jake was a member of our Signature Long Island Dog Board and Train Program.
The head lines that has the phrase “Our 3rd Dog Jake” in it, is an inside joke between Jake’s parents and us; Jake has been a Long Island Dog Boarding member 3x since we trained him.
We enjoy having him back more and more…just the other day I told my dog Daisy to go and eat and Jake ran into the kitchen. Unconsciously, Jake has inherited some of the house commands we use with our own
Meet Daisy one of our Dedicated Dog Training’s Dog Board and Train members. Daisy’s stay with us was quite unique, as we took her on a mini vacation for some good old Rhode Island dog training.
When Dedicated Dog Training says that we train your dogs in different environments were not kidding (lol), below is a video of this 1 year old little lady showing Rhode Islanders that our dog training works in other states as well.
Enjoy Daisy participating in some northern Rhode Island dog training.
