Poem Ranch

We take great pride in announcing 2 new home-bred champions from the bred by class at 10 months old!

Huge thank you to Mary Beth (Betsy) Ross, AKC judge for finding my girl in a beautiful line up of puppies on Saturday at the Lake Drake Cluster. Party was awarded a Group 1 in the Best Puppy Working Group. I am so proud to be at the end of this girl's lead! Congratulations to all that came and showed their beautiful puppies. As our ring steward, Marilyn said (and repeated by our judge), we don't have anything to worry about with quality puppies such as these in the dog show world. What a compliment!

What You’ll Find on TrainPawfect My posts are designed to guide you step-by-step through the training process, whether you’re starting with a wiggly puppy or helping an older dog refine their skills. Let's start with Operant Conditioning: The Science Behind Service-Dog-Level Training What Is Operant Conditioning? Operant conditioning is a learning method where behaviors are shaped by their consequences. In simple terms: • Behaviors that lead to rewards happen more often. • Behaviors that lead to unpleasant outcomes happen less often. This approach is a cornerstone in service dog training because it builds clear communication between human and dog — without confusion, fear, or force. More on operant conditioning in our next post with one of my puppies. In our next post, we will show you how to teach focus even in a young puppy! We are also offering a free webinar. Just click the link that will be at the end of each post. https://k9ti.org/r/TrainPawfect/free-workshop/
