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?”
As always remember to visit our Dog Training site to learn more about our programs and to contact us with any question you may have.
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.
Sammy is our latest Long Island dog boarding member; Sammy was trained by Dedicated Dog Training a few months back, and as many of our members know, we board our members puppies and dogs.
Sammy really reinforces our policy of only boarding our members’ dogs and puppies. Our Long Island Dog Boarding practice of boarding only members’ dogs has benefits to everyone concerned.
First and foremost, no, not you guys, the dogs…the dogs know me and will feel more comfortable living in a pet capacity rather than a kennel. Secondly, they are stimulated the entire time here by playing, socializing (with family and dogs), exercising, and training. A refresher course is giving to all puppies and dogs when entering into our Long Island Dog Boarding Program.
O.K. the selfish point about our Long Island Dog Boarding Program…I get to interact many times over with the wonderful puppies and dogs that I have established a relationship with. Yes, because of Dedicated Dog Training’s practice of only accepting members’ dogs for our Dog Boarding it means saying good buy after our Long Island dog training services are rendered, happens less and less.
So with further delay let me show Sammy’s humans parents and siblings of him practicing the PLACE command.
Hi everyone, here is a dog that displays nothing but energy! This is the definition of a big dog trapped in a small dogs’ body.
A little fresh air at our Long Island Dog BoardingProgram never hurt anyone. This is Daisy my German Shepherd (duh,as if you guys thought she was a Yorkie), playing with Sammy.
Watch how Daisy is intrigued, extremely focused in on the rope, and watch how focused Sammy is on Daisy…Different strokes for different folks!
Bye, Bye, Buddy! we are going to miss Buddy, he was an extraordinary dog. It was a pleasure training Buddy. Buddy was a model dog in our Long Island Board and Train Program.
We welcome Daisy to our Long Island Boarding Program. As many of our members know, in addition to our Long Island Dog Board and Train Program we provide boarding too. Our Long Island Boarding Program is open to all of our members.
Daisy was trained by Dedicated Dog Training close to a year ago…her mom did a wonderful job with the “continuing education” aspect of training. So, without further delay, let’s meet Daisy!
Our Long Island Dog Board and Train Program has helped many Long Island families in their quests to control, lead, and most importantly enhance the quality of life for their dogs; this enhancement was made possible by our Long Island dog training board and train program.
Jake is our latest Long Island Dog Board and Train member, he is a Goldendoodle who is approximately 5 months old. Jake came to us because of his owners discontent for his unruliness, according to his owners, listening to them was not on Jakes’ list of priorities, as is with most puppies.
Our Long Island Dog Board and Train Program trains your puppy or dog to respond reliably on as well as off-leash. More importantly, when we return your puppy or dog after s/he has completed their (2) week dog board and train program with Dedicated Dog Training, the owners are given a lesson on how to maintain their newly trained dog or puppy.
Jake has almost completed his (2) week Long Island Board and Train program with us. We are very proud of him! Below you can view Jake practicing the PLACE command on an outside PLACE board , in addition to using a chair as a second PLACE. I am also giving him a variety of other commands…oh yeah, if you didn’t notice, this is not our backyard, Jake is responding to the “handler” with multiple distractions taking place.
Our Long Island Goldendoodle Dog Training with Jake from Jericho is going extremely well. He is a very smart puppy who has a lot of energy. Our Long Island Dog Board and Train Program offers in addition to dog training, plenty of physical exercise with my German Shepherd and Labrador. One of the primary reasons I only accept one puppy or dog into our Long Island Dog Board and Train Program is to ensure that they not only receive top notch Long Island dog training but, also enjoy their stay as they are treated like a pet, rather than a guest!
Below we have just began to introduce Jake our Long Island Board and Train Goldendoodle to the concept of the PLACE (go to your doggie bed) command. Although, that chair is not his doggie bed, the concept of pointing and pairing the word “PLACE” will eventually make him understand that the pointing motion is a precursor to the action of going. The video below shows Jake practicing the second part of the PLACE command…staying in PLACE.
Please check back frequently to see some more of our progress videos.
Long Island Dog Training with jake has been a pleasure. Below is Jake, once described as a hyperactive puppythat is out of control demonstrating his ability to be calm when commanded. He has a way to go, most 5 month old puppies do (lol).
