Teaching Your Dog Total Control 2018

Teaching Your Dog Total Control 2018

N.I.L.I.F. Nothing in Life is Free.

Welcome to Baileys Corner

Teaching your canine companion a few basic commands will make it easier to implement N.I.L.I.F. Nothing in Life is Free.

Nothing in Life is Free or N.I.L.I.F. This means exactly what it sounds like. The dog must work for everything. Working can be something as simple as following an obedience command or doing a trick, both of which will earn him what he wants or needs, be it food, a toy, or simply attention. By making your dog work for you, you are controlling his resources and establishing yourself as his Alpha.

Using positive reinforcement methods, teach your dog a few commands and/or tricks. “Sit,” “Down” and “Stay” are useful commands and “Shake,” “Speak” and “Rollover” is fun tricks to teach your dog.

Requiring a dominant dog to work for everything it wants is a safe and non-confrontational way to establish control.

And the ultimate goal is to get your canine companion under total control off leash as Milano, our female Rottweiler is demonstrating.

Nothing in Life is Free will not fix a specific problem, rather it’s a way of living with your dog that will help it behave better because it will trust and accept you as its leader.

Adobe Given a Second Chance in Life 2018

Giving Them a Second Chance in Life

Welcome To Baileys Corner

Across the country, millions of pets of all ages are put to death at pounds and shelters every year by people abandoning them.

This short video is about a 2.5 year old male Doberman named Adobe that’s been given a second chance.

Meet Adobe.

Dogs have become disposable in today’s society making it difficult for shelters and rescue groups and organizations to provide space for them.

Before you purchase your next dog, check with your local shelter and or rescue group to adopt one.

Adobe’s owner who was single had to give him up because of work schedule, he gave Adobe to somebody and somehow he ended up in a shelter, no fault of his own.

Original owner was out of town but when reached, called the shelter and turned Adobe over to Dobie Ranch Rescue.

Thanks to our friends at the Dobie Ranch Rescue, Adobe will have a second chance at life.

Training With Distractions 2018

Training with Distractions

Welcome to Baileys Corner

From the largest to the smallest, and everything in between, regardless of their breed, they need training to keep them busy and obedient in the human world.

Best time to start training is while they are still in their puppy hood stages before bad behavior and issues take hold.

The simplest way to describe our philosophy behind Canine Control, is “communication with your animal”. The misconception behind obedience, is that it is somehow oppressive to the animal. This could not be further from the truth. Your animal wants so very much to please you. The breakdown occurs when a disobedient animal starts behaving poorly, and you punish or scold the pet for that behavior. The attention you give is not good, but it is attention and that is just what your pet craves-your attention. Animals and owners get caught up in a cycle of broken relationships-where the animal is often ignored, except when it is bad….you get the picture.

At Canine Control we take your animal into a controlled setting where we can exclusively focus on your pet’s unique behavioral circumstances. We use our special talents to profile your dog’s behavior to implement the best communication technique for use during the five day session of the one-on-one training process. The end result is a dog that will become more like a family member and a trusted friend. And that’s the beauty of this program. It literally transforms animals and their owners through the bond of good communication.

Our preferred choice of training methodology is with positive re-enforcement and praise, also utilizing already trained dogs to help teach the new students.

All of our champion canines seen here are trained except the West Highland Terrier Rex.

Harley’s flawless performance will teach the 8-month-old puppy Rex the voice commands including hand signals and body language into what he needs to do.

The key to training is consistency, repetition, positive re-enforcement and praise.

Dogs in general are social animals and like to play and do all the things that are not considered acceptable in human world like ripping things apart, chewing, jumping, barking and digging which are all okay in the canine world. Providing them with an area so they can do all of those things they love to do will create a much happier canine companion that is loyal, trusting and protective.

How to Reduce Anxiety and Pent-Up Energy in Dogs 2017

Welcome to Bailey’s Corner

Reducing Anxiety and Pent-Up energy in Dogs can be accomplished in many ways.

One of which is playtime with their own kind and human intervention.

What you are about to see in the next 5 minutes, takes place in a controlled environment with supervision.

Do not try this at home without seeking professional help as it can escalate to the danger zone.

What we can do to reduce anxiety and pent-up energy in dogs, is to provide them with a safe area to play in with supervision.

As humans, we can not satisfy all of their needs, but we can provide them a safe area to play in with other dogs and human intervention enabling them to reduce their anxiety level pent up energy and stress.

Playtime serves a very important purpose for younger dogs. In addition to burning off pent-up energy, it teaches them how to behave around different types of dogs, bite inhibition and appropriate play.

During playtime, there are no rules and anything in their way is fair game. Not all dogs like to play therefore we need to find compatible playmates that have the same style of play preference and select similar type dogs of size and energy level. The objective here is to reduce anxiety pent up energy and stress.

In addition to playtime, we must provide our canine companion with species appropriate super premium food, love for their emotional stimuli and ours, grooming and enrolled in an annual wellness program with your favorite veterinarian to keep them healthy and happy!

Playtime is just one of many ways to reduce Anxiety, Pent-Up Energy and Stress in your canine companion. A tired dog is a happy dog.

Socializing Your Adult Dog 2017

Socializing your Adult Canine Companion

Welcome to Baileys Corner!

Socializing your canine companion is not that difficult if you start them at an early age.

In this case, Lucy is a 1-year-old female Labradoodle that hasn’t been socialized with other dogs.

Introducing them to other dogs, must take place gradually and be in a controlled environment with supervision.

Socializing the adult dog is a frequently misunderstood concept.  While puppies can be put together (in a controlled environment with supervision) to learn how to interact, the same practice can have detrimental effects on adult dogs.

As you can see Lucy running away with her tail tucked between her legs and does not know how to act among the rowdy-rovers.

After three (3) days of teaching Lucy appropriate behavior and spending time with our rowdy-rovers, Lucy is now playing and chasing with her tail up full of spunk.

Lucy is no longer threatened or afraid of other dogs and has learned to play appropriately with our pack of champion canines.

Not all dogs like to play with unfamiliar dogs. They may either attempt to avoid the dogs, stand close to their human family or even growl and snap at boisterous young dogs that come too close to them. 

Play Time serves a very important purpose for young dogs, especially puppies.  In addition to burning off energy, interactive play teaches them how to behave around different types of dogs.  It teaches them important rules about bite inhibition and appropriate play.

To avoid stress and hardship on your canine companion, socialize them while they are still in puppy stages. 

Remington and Rowland Denver Colorado 2017

Welcome to Bailey’s Corner

 Remington and Rowland Denver Colorado 2017

Unlike any other breed, they are highly skilled, intelligent, loyal, dedicated, incredibly protective and affectionate. The Doberman Pincher

 The Doberman needs to be consistently and thoroughly trained otherwise issues arise when they reside with owners who do not display the proper leadership and/or do not provide enough exercise.

After our initial consultation with Taylor and Steph, regarding dogs and how they operate in their own social structure, it was time for me to teach Remington and Rowland the basic commands starting them with Heel, Sit, Stay, Down and the re-call before handing them over to Steph and Taylor so they could start shadow training with me.

 We started them in the back yard in a controlled environment first then we moved out to the front working them in the street with all kinds of distractions.

Through observation and study you can see how quickly Steph and Taylor both gained control and achieved the ultimate goal in owning a dog with tremendous strength and stamina which made my job that much easier.

 The best part of this training week for me, is the commitment and dedication of Taylor and Steph in wanting to connect with their dogs and making some changes by setting ground rules and boundaries to re claim what Remington and Rowland have taken from them. The Doberman needs an owner who is willing and able to display a calm yet assertive authority over the dog, and all family members must be firm, confident and consistent when handling their champion canine companion.

Doberman Pinschers are very keen, super energetic with tremendous strength and stamina therefore they need exercise and be taken on a daily, walks or jog, to stimulate them mentally and physically.

 Doberman pincher likes to be with their owners and they are not suited to be left alone; they need human interaction and leadership.

Doberman pincher can be good family dogs if the alpha role belongs to the human and if they receive enough exercise, are well trained and are socialized with children.

In closing I would like to thank Dan, Steph, Taylor and Matthew for being the best students in shadow training with me and giving us the opportunity to train Remington and Rowland.

King's Story 2017

King’s Story

We were searching for the perfect dog for our family and finally found King. When we picked King up from the Breeder he was in bad shape! He had tested positive for heart worms had one of the worst case of fleas that the vet has ever seen he also had a skin infection on his stomach that needed special treatment.. so the process started with getting king the proper love and care he needed.. after a short time of taking him to the vet we finally got rid of the heartworms:)
King was about 8 months old and we realized he started to limp once in a while so we began to give him supplements that were recommended by our vet and our very special dog trainer. He stopped limping for a while and then it started again so we decided to take him to the vet to get X-rays! Well needless to say the vet came back and said that his cartilage in his knee has slowly started to deteriorate and soon there wouldn't be any left so he recommends that we take him to a specialist. We ended up making an appointment to take him to the specialist which we had to wait a week to get in. So during that time I took king to the dog park to get some exercise which he never really runs because it is painful well needless to say that day he decided to run and play for once.. I was getting ready to leave and saw him really enjoying himself so I decided to stay for a few minutes longer when all of a sudden King fell to the ground and starting crying and yelping.. Clearly he was in pain! So I had to carry this huge baby to the car and took him right to the doctor where they had to bring a stretcher out and carry him in. They decided to do X-rays and saw that he had completely torn his ACL... so off to the specialist we go!! They did more X-rays and noticed that not only did he tear his ACL he also had an issue with his growth plate.. Somehow his growth plate was on a slant of 62 degrees and a normal growth plate should be slanted around 20 degrees! The doctor said it was one of the worse cases that he has seen! To tell you how bad it is, the tool that is used to measure their growth plate only goes up to 45 degrees. His growth plate was so bad because he grew so big so fast. So the specialist recommended we do surgery ASAP needless to say I left that morning without king as he underwent surgery. Kings surgery was more intense than other surgeries. He had to have extra pins and wiring and a longer metal plate.  Finally king was out of surgery we picked him up and he is on the road to recovery. Next stop is physical therapy....
 

The Players 2017

 

Welcome to Baileys Corner

We like to share with you the benefits of playtime among their own species.

We have to warn you that not all dogs like to play especially the older mature dogs and dogs that have never been socialized. All of our champion canine players have some degree of training and have been socialized with other dogs. Playtime should take place in a controlled environment with supervision.

Playtime has important benefits both mental and physical and it will teach them the essential skills they need to interact appropriately with other members of their own species. The prey drive for hunting skills, wrestling, tugging, chasing, stalking and stealing items away from their opponent, learning the rules on bites inhibition and appropriate play are just a few benefits. Dogs also use their mouths quite a bit during their interactions with each other which involves a lot of mouthing, or inhibited play-biting. This will also help curb behavioral issues in the long run. Where a bored dog may resort to destructive behavior or act out to burn off some of their pent up energy.

In group play sessions, even under the most watchful eye and supervision an unlikely incident is possible therefore you must be prepared to stop them before it reaches the danger zone.

Playtime is not breed specific as you can see in this video. What you must consider is the size of dogs playing unless all dogs are trained and have social skills Do NOT try this at home without seeking professional help as it can escalate to the danger zone.

It is during this playtime where they communicate with each other and set their own ground rules and boundaries as to how far they can pull and push each other and what they can get away with.

Most dogs will not last more than 15 or 20 minutes of vigorous play session which we can not give them as humans at the intensity levels they need to get them to much calmer state of mind. A tired dog is a happy dog.

In closing, important factors to remember are exercise, species appropriate food, routine health check ups and grooming are essential in keeping them healthy and happy.

Playtime with the Rowdy Rovers

Playtime With The Rowdy Rovers.

Welcome to Bailey’s Corner

Playtime is not breed specific.

From the biggest to the smallest and everything in between, almost all dogs like to play. Playtime serves a very important purpose for young dogs. In addition to burning off energy, interactive play teaches them how to behave around different types of dogs.  It teaches them important rules about bite inhibition and appropriate play. Introduction to other dogs must be gradual and in a controlled setting with supervision to observe their behavior towards other dogs. While in the zone to play, there are no rules and anything in their way is fair game from chewing on tree limbs to stainless steel water buckets. And their favorite pastime is digging. Not all Dogs like to play especially older mature dogs. So do not force the issue. Just like us humans each and every dog is different. Some like to hang out together and some are loners. Some like to play and some don’t. Playtime should be considered as a privilege and they must earn that playtime. In-group play sessions, even under the most watchful eye and supervision, an unlikely incident is possible therefore you must be prepared to stop and give them a time out to rest before the next go around. Playing can often make dogs feel a little stressed, especially after a hard play session. One of the best things to do is to let them cool off with a brief time out to regroup before the next go around. To keep them healthy, put them on a species appropriate diet, get them routine health check ups, socialized, and trained to be a good canine citizen. You will build the most trusting and loyal bond with your champion canine companion.

Socializing Your Canine Companion

Welcome to Baileys Corner!

Socializing your canine companion is not that difficult if you start them at an early age. Best time to start is anytime after 8 weeks once they are weaned from the mother. Puppies are in their most sensitive and receptive stage [between 4 and 18 weeks] and are generally accepting of new people, places and dogs, so teaching them to feel comfortable around them will not be difficult. Take them with you everywhere if you can so they can get used to different places people and other dogs. Introducing them to other dogs, must take place gradually and be separated in different play areas in a controlled environment with supervision. After getting Scooter started with the socializing process he now is able to be a part of the pack and know how to interact with his fellow canine champions. Play Time serves a very important purpose for young dogs, especially puppies.  In addition to burning off energy, interactive play teaches them how to behave around different types of dogs.  It teaches them important rules about bite inhibition and appropriate play. 

 Not all Dogs like to play especially older mature dogs. So don’t force the issue.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Welcome to Baileys Corner;

They are Loyal, Obedient, Strong willed, Intelligent, Courageous, and Affectionate!  The American Pit Bull Terrier.

The American Pit Bull Terrier can be traced back to early 19th-century England, and Ireland. Originally bred for bear- and bull-baiting, a blood sport. Banned in the 1800s, the dogs were then bred for the sport of ratting and dog fighting.

Through the years the breed evolved into an all around farm dog and later European immigrants introduced the Pit Bull breed to North America.

The American Pit Bull Terrier has a very strong desire to please and has evoked more human emotional, rational and irrational response than any other breed that exists today.

Because of irresponsible pet ownership, and bad publicity the American Pit Bull Terrier has a bad rap in the dog world and they are on breed specific ban list across the nation.

How ever with proper training, extensive socialization and always leashed when outside of their territory, will respond well to confident owners who know how to establish and enforce the ground rules and boundaries.

The American Pit Bull Terrier has shown outstanding results as a guardian of property, but is at the same time considered a great canine companion.

Contrary to its reputation as an aggressive breed, a well-bred American Pit Bull Terrier is a loyal and affectionate canine companion that is great with people.

In closing, The American Pit Bull Terrier is not for everyone and you must study and research the breed to see if they would fit your environment.

How Dogs Arrange Themselves

How Dogs Arrange Themselves

Welcome to Baileys Corner, to have a better understanding on how dogs arrange themselves in their own social structure we, put a handful of strong working dogs together to observe their behavior.

 Please do NOT try this at home without seeking professional help as it can escalate to the danger zone.

By doing some simple observations with a small number of dogs, one thing should stand out: Some dogs act dominant, others show submission, and if the wrong dogs are put together there will be an altercation over who is the more dominant. 

This is the first step to understanding how dogs arrange themselves in their own social structure. Dominant and Submissive.

The second part to be understood is less obvious to the casual observer.  The dominant wan to bees among the group that will get challenged by the dominant dog.

Using this logic, no dog is equal to another, and it is clear that they are social animals in the domesticated world.

However, with a proper training program, information and even through observation, you can enjoy a healthy relationship with your dog, by teaching them the desired behavior, and being compassionate but quietly in control.

Understanding Canine Mind and How they Operate in their Social Structure, will result in a better relationship with your champion canine for life.

Excellence in Animals Through Extensive Training

The Siberian Husky Bella

"Bella" The Siberian Husky

 Huskies were bred to pull heavy loads long distances through difficult and treacherous conditions of the Siberian Arctic.

 They are, high energy, active and resilient breed who need intense exercise to stimulate both mind and body.

 This breed gets bored easily and if they don't get enough mental or physical exercise, they can be destructive.

For that reason, they don't do well if left alone for long periods of time without exercise.

 How ever they are incredibly intelligent and trainable with proper training techniques, from crate training to basic obedience commands with patience, compassion and leadership they can be taught to obey and be a great family pet. 

 By studying the breed and through observation you will have a better understand how they would fit into your environment.

 Bella loves to do her two minute training routine and the best time to train is when she is in a calm state of mind after a good run. And most of all, she loves to run and run and run.

 Among her favorite things, is getting wet especially if the weather is warm.

Remember that the Husky is a sled dog and is made for the outdoors but they will make a great canine companion.

Do You Have Canine Control?

Welcome to Baileys Corner

In order to gain total control of your canine companion, you must gain your dogs trust in you as the pack leader. The undisputable Alpha that controls every aspect of their life from food to affection. Once you accomplish this leadership position, the rest is easy. Do everything on leash until your dog starts obeying your commands without resisting you.

The misconception behind obedience, is that it is somehow oppressive to the animal. This could not be further from the truth. Your animal wants so very much to please you. The breakdown occurs when a disobedient animal starts behaving poorly, and you punish or scold the pet for that behavior. The attention you give is not good, but it is attention and that is just what your pet craves-your attention. Animals and owners get caught up in a cycle of broken relationships-where the animal is often ignored, except when it is bad….you get the picture.

The simplest way to describe our philosophy behind Canine Control, is “communication with your animal”.

Senior Canine Life

Welcome to Bailey's Corner

This short four minute video was not easy for us to do. We just wanted to share Bailey's story with you. Rescued at age 4 and retired at age 15, she is 17 now and still has it all together due to good food, essential vitamins and minerals with routine health check-ups, exercise, many different jobs, and of course love and affection.

Except she is much slower. Now we have to guide (herd) her and take special care of her. 

Fast and furious, high octane and extreme energy at their younger days, to a much slower and awkward times at their senior stages. Heart breaking but it is reality that every pet owner will experience.

After being an integral part of our training program and working so hard for the last twelve years with her unwavering dedication to work, loyalty and protection, Bailey now at age 17, has slowed down considerably suffering from arthritis, joint problems, loss of hearing and eyesight. She now is depending on us to provide her with the best of everything to keep her safe and comfortable. 

Just as puppies have special needs, so do senior dogs. By the time they reach the age of 6 to 12 years old depending on their breed, its our time to take special care of them.

Dogs have a way of adding meaning and enjoyment to our lives, whether they are part of our lives for a few years, or for more than a decade,  we must  take special care of them as senior canine companions.

What we must do for senior dogs

•  Routine Health Check ups.
• Keeping them on a good super premium dog food with high protein, the proper amounts of essential vitamins and minerals for their body weight and age to help ease the pain and discomfort.
• Daily exercise in moderation.
• Socialize in moderation
• Love and affection as much as they want will help them to be in a better state of mind, and still a part of the pack. For more information on super premium dog food, supplements and much more visit: http//:www.thedoggiebagboutique.com
