Tailwinds of Hope

http://bit.ly/phpets We offer a unique and effective service to animal shelters and rescues to help raise awareness of the animals that need homes.

People Helping Pets(501c3) brings homeless pets into the public eye through Virtual Shelters so that both the caring people and the pets that they adopt or foster can get the love and respect that is their birthright. This increases adoptions, decreases the need for unnecessary euthinasia and also provides a little education to the public on spay/neuter, animal behavior, and more.

Dogs weren’t built to walk in straight lines. We were. And barely, pre-coffee. Expecting a dog to march a perfect sidewalk runway is like asking a toddler to stroll through Target without touching anything bold strategy, but historically a flop. Dogs weren’t built to walk in straight lines. We were. And barely, pre-coffee. Expecting a dog to march a perfect sidewalk runway is like asking a toddler to stroll through Target without touching anything bold strategy, but historically a flop. Circle work doesn’t need a stadium. I do it in my living room. I’ve done it in hotel rooms. I’ve done it in a tiny patch of grass next to a Starbucks drive-thru while a dog judged my latte order. It’s not fancy. It’s not complicated. It’s not something you need to overthink. It is literally walking in a circle. Ten minutes. That’s it. Your dignity stays intact. Your shoulder doesn’t file a complaint. Everybody wins. Here are the steps: Dog on the inside. Always. If you turn left, dog is on your left. If you turn right, dog is on your right. The world is already chaotic. We don’t need them orbiting us like a furry moon with impulse control issues. Walk. In a circle. Yes. That’s the whole thing. Movement creates a following reflex, which is a natural response tied to classical conditioning. You move, they learn to move with you. If your dog pulls, shrink the circle. Make it smaller. Then smaller again. If you feel like you’re stirring soup, you’re doing it right. Small circles give big clarity. When the dog starts bending with your body and matching your pace, you unlock level 2: figure eights. This helps with weight shifting and keeping engagement through directional change. Switch sides. Work the dog on the right, then the left. Because I like my dogs fluent in both directions. Heel left, heel right, like bilingual but with paws. Graduate to figure eights with smoother transitions. Then add reps of calm, intentional turns. circles let you reinforce position and movement without flooding the dog’s nervous system. It builds reinforcement history fast, because reps stack quickly in curves. Straight lines are low-rep, high-frustration for a lot of dogs. Curves are efficient, clear, repeatable, and oddly soothing when done right. Ten minutes. Small circles. Big results. That’s the magic. #dogbehaviour #sacramentodogs #dogbehaviourtraining #leashtraining #dogtrainingadvice #norcaldogs #dogbehaviormodification #looseleashwalking #reactivedogtraining
