First take them potty. Then let them have the ball. Interact with them while they have it. Engage with them. Then throw. Doesn't have to be far. Let them have it. Engage and interact. Don't let everything be about just the ball www.affectivedog.com Scott Stauffer 530.917.6712 Your Bay Area K9 Life Coach Dogtraining2nd2no1@yahoo.com

CARE is an innate Primary Emotional System that helps the other subject feel wanted, acknowledged and helps them feel safe. Using yours with "emotional creatures", helps them want to show you their needs quicker and in a more positive manner. Even in stressful situations. "Positive Communication".

This could have STARTED badly. Thankfully, Bailey and Belle trust me enough to want to listen. Then they do what I should have done. Proper Dog Introductions. Let one pee. Walk that dog away. Let the second dog pee. Walk away. There's no need for introductions between dogs like how this video started. The rest is recovering from my mistake. See how much extra work I had to do? Making Bailey pay too much attention to Belle when she didn't have too. Scott Stauffer 530.917.6712 Your Bay Area K9 Life Coach Dogtraining2nd2no1@yahoo.com

She barked at this black dog at the beginning, far away. She peed in his/ her poo (I purposely took her to his poo spot). The black dog was in front of us the whole walk by at least half a block. They stopped at the corner. Ayse sees him. Now we can watch her and how she wants to handle this and how quickly she finds positives.

Be Engaged Not only is it good to be interactive with the dogs but it's good for your emotional health. You're present. You're subconsciously more aware of your environment. That means your brain is finding more and more rewarding options to keep you present and Social with the dogs (or kids) in front of you. Allowing you to actually match and then meet their needs. Learning, bonding and helping everyone's cognitive function. So.... Mark what behaviors you want repeated. Engage with your voice and your actions. Interact in the way each individual wants. www.affectivedog.com #affectivedogbehavior #k9lifecoachingpresents #mentalhealth #feelingsafe Scott Stauffer 530.917.6712 Your Bay Area K9 Life Coach Dogtraining2nd2no1@yahoo.com

Wolfman gets taken out by a bear. Lol. Seriously though. Finn was actually trying to hump. He was that tired. So I matched him. Let him play and try to hump. Letting him realize that we will work through it and relax after. #fun #newfoundland #wolfman #humping Scott Stauffer 530.917.6712 Your Bay Area K9 Life Coach Dogtraining2nd2no1@yahoo.com

We've been here 45min. Walked and explored. Ate lunch together. Now we are doing a decompression walk. Now we can hangout and learn the immediate environment. Not needing to run, sniff everything or be over excited. We can just be. Be... In the moment. Be... Together. Feel safe together. ❤TOGETHER ❤ Scott Stauffer 530.917.6712 Your Bay Area K9 Life Coach Dogtraining2nd2no1@yahoo.com #AffectiveDogBehavior #TravelingDogTrainer #TravelingWithDogs #CanineEnrichment #DecompressionWalks
