Dog Training and Behaviour Advice From The Experts

Top tips on reward-based training and caring for dogs of all ages from the experts in dog training and behaviour. 

Earlier this year, Companion Animal Psychology turned 10 years old. As part of the celebrations, I asked some amazing dog trainers whose work I admire—all experts in their own field of dog training and animal behaviour—to share some of their favourite tips with me. 

From tips on puppies, senior dogs, dealing with behaviour issues, and trying a dog sport for the first time, there’s some excellent advice below.

And I’ve included links to websites and social media so you can give all of these brilliant dog experts a follow. 

Kristi Benson

Dealing with a serious behaviour issue can be embarrassing and stressful. The first thing us dog trainers do is often try to prevent the behaviour from happening at all, so we can take a breath before training starts. 

If your dog is behaving aggressively or out of fear, take a page from the dog trainer’s bible, and see if you can organise your life to prevent your dog from even experiencing the scary trigger at all. 

For example: keep them in the backyard when friends come over; cross the street on a walk; or head to the country for July 1st/4th.

Ayoka Bubar

If you are considering starting a dog sport for the first time…

It’s important to find an instructor who will use positive reinforcement to help you teach your dog sport-specific behaviors. Using positive reinforcement can enhance the bond between team partners, and will ensure you both have fun while you learn a new sport together.

It’s also important to find an instructor with recent experience competing in your sport of choice. Their expertise will ensure they are teaching you the correct foundations while keeping the safety of your team in mind. 

This will set you up for success if you choose to step into a competition ring down the road.

Kate LaSala

Having a fearful, anxious or aggressive dog is difficult, frustrating and embarrassing. It’s easy to fall victim to the allure of quick fixes and well-meaning, but often flawed, advice. But, long-lasting behavior modification takes time and professional guidance from a qualified professional. 

Avoid using corrections (like scolding, yelling, saying “no”, “eh-eh” or “tsssst”) or tools that hurt (like prong, choke or shock collars) in your training. Current scientific research supports using positive reinforcement training (yes, even for aggression) and shows that alpha, dominance or compulsion methods make fear, anxiety and aggression worse. 

Animals learn best with compassion, not corrections.

Ruby Leslie

Do you have a fearful dog? A dog who cowers and shakes in fear when they hear a loud car engine, fireworks, or thunder? Or a dog who explodes in barking, lunging, and growling when they see other dogs or when a strange person approaches?

5 Tips to Help:

  1. Management- close the blinds/use window film so your dog can’t see out, walk your dog at morning or night 
  2. Create a Zen dog room- in a safe room, spray pheromones, give tasty enrichment, water bowl & covered crate
  3. Music- calm music or podcasts drown out outside noises
  4. Create routines – to create confidence, working at your dog’s pace
  5. Talk to your vet about behavioural meds- to reduce your dog’s fear and improve their quality of life.

Jessica Ring

Teach your puppy to feel safe and comfortable when home alone. Do this very gradually and gently. If your puppy shows signs of discomfort, go back to an easier version. 

Before starting, make sure your puppy’s needs have been met — they’ve had food, water, play and a potty break. 

First, pop out of sight briefly, immediately returning. Gradually increase the amount of time you’re out of view, starting with seconds and then minutes. Repeat this process with the front door. Watch on camera to make sure they’re comfortable at every step. 

Contact a separation anxiety specialist if your puppy struggles.

Beth Sautins

As your dog ages, they may not be able to enjoy their favorite activities in the same ways they did when they were younger. Here are several ways to keep your dog engaged while making allowances for the effects of aging:

  • Spend more time snuggling and taking slow walks.
  • Instead of asking your dog to sit, try asking your dog to make eye contact or touch their nose to your hand.
  • Shop for toys that may be easier on aging bodies, like stationary food puzzles or lick mats instead of kibble-dispensing balls. These toys will enrich and entertain your dog even if they have pain or mobility issues.

Lisa Skavienski

I’d love puppy owners to worry less about “manners” and more about teaching pups the world is safe.  

They are babies.  The best puppy training focuses on gentle exposure to things they will encounter throughout life (people, animals, sounds, body handling), and pairing those experiences with something they naturally love, like high value treats and play. 

Puppies are sponges for good experiences and sitting ducks for bad, and exposures now have lasting impact.  We have their entire lives to teach dogs to greet without jumping and other skills, but we don’t get a do-over of this fleeting developmental stage.

Nickala Squire

You see your dog every day, but how well do you know them? 

People often have preconceived notions about what dogs should enjoy and how they should feel in various situations, based on societal claims or past behavior. This can distort the lens through which you see your dog’s current body language and behavior, unless you practice your observation skills! 

Describe your dog in objective terms including eyes, ears, mouth, head, body, tail, behavior. Do it again later, in a different context. And again. 

Recognize and check your assumptions with what you see on a regular basis. Observe your dog.
