So this weekend and last we went to the desert to go riding and here’s how Harley felt about the whole thing lol thought you guys need a smile and training is going great still going to post a video soon promise and here she is helping sell Girl Scout cookies to lol 😂

This first lesson is all about teaching your dog how to hold an object, not rushing to a full retrieve yet. We’re working on: - Where the object goes in their mouth - How much pressure to use (not chomping, not dropping) - Comfort with hands near the face and mouth This is also sneaky desensitization work — face touching, mouth handling, and weird new sensations. All good things for future retrieves and real life. Go slow. Break it into tiny wins. If your dog gets confused or silly, that’s normal — just reset and try again. Most important rule: don’t rush this part. A calm, confident mouth now = clean retrieves later. And yes… have fun with it. This should feel like a game, not a test 😄🐾

Some dogs don’t just like their favorite toy — their reward system lights up when they play with it. That dopamine hit is why toys can be such powerful training rewards for certain dogs. When it comes to training, the three primary ways I reward are: • Food • Verbal + physical praise (voice, touch, connection) • Toy rewards Not all dogs are motivated the same way. Some have a much higher toy drive than others, and while toy drive can be built, certain breeds naturally lean into it more — Labs especially tend to have strong toy motivation. For my crew: 🔴 Padfoot’s favorite toy = the red Kong Frisbee ⭕ Ginny & Arly’s favorite toy = the rubber rings ⚽ Griz’s favorite toy = a ball The goal isn’t to force one reward — it’s to use what your dog finds most rewarding to make training extra fun! 👇 Your turn: What’s your dog’s favorite toy, and will they work for it? 🐾
