Winthrop Clients Love Our Dog Trainer: Here’s Why
“With an Irish wolfhound puppy, we knew that training was a must, but little did we know how much Sarah would teach us about being better dog owners, making for a happier dog and a happier us! The work and discipline Sarah encourages you to put in is SO WORTH IT. Be sure to be honest in your weekly recaps with Sarah (or Jonathan). I joked that Sarah was my pseudo-therapist because she so understands that being a puppy parent is not all fun and kisses. It is hard work! She takes what you share and uses it to work on what is needed next in your home. Thank you so much!” – Rachael R.

Winthrop Dog Training Tip: The Importance of Advocating for Your Dog
Leadership is one of the most important aspects of dog training. With you as the leader, giving your dog commands and guiding her to make good choices, she’ll look to you for help. Your dog may not physically look up and say ‘Help’ when another dog is pestering her, but this is your job as your dog’s owner, guardian, and leader.
What does advocating for your dog look like?
- Stepping between you and a strange dog rushing at you on the street
- Breaking up your dog and another when the other dog is pushy and in your dog’s face: licking, jumping, trying to play (when your dog isn’t interested)
- Giving your cat their own space and stepping in when the cat gets in the dog’s space. (this also works in reverse to advocate for your cat)
- Telling strangers they cannot pet your dog, no reason needed.
- Putting your dog in his crate when guests are over – for any reason, if it’s going to be over-stimulating, too much for you to manage, or your dog isn’t a fan of the situation.
By advocating for your dog, you reinforce the principle that you have their back. This creates a stronger bond between you and your dog, as well as creates a more secure dog.
