From scratch to smooth steps! We put in the work for the heel foundations with Reykja using food luring! Teaching her to follow movement and stay connected builds engagement, rhythm, and focus before we ever add structure or cues. Every smooth heel starts with these baby steps! 🐶✨ So much progress has been made! Keep it up pretty girl! 🥰 #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey #heelwork #progress #chusky #chowchowoninstagram #trendingaudio❤️

Reykja showing off her lightning-fast recall skills ⚡🐾 Even a little slip couldn’t slow her down — the moment she heard her name, she turned on a dime and came flying back! Practicing recall with distractions helps build that reliable, ready-to-respond teamwork every time!

🐾 Platform Perks! 🐾 These pups are loving their “VIP spots” — aka elevated platforms! At Collared Conduct, you’ll often see us using raised platforms (sometimes called place cots, Cato boards, steps, even tree stumps!). These simple tools are surprisingly powerful for helping dogs learn faster, feel more confident, and stay engaged. Why do we use them in training? 🎾 Clear Boundaries: The raised edges make it easy for dogs to understand where they should be — kind of like a seat at the table just for them. 🎾 Impulse Control: Teaching your dog to wait calmly on their platform helps them practice patience and self-control. 🎾Confidence Boost: Stepping up onto something new builds body awareness and helps shy or nervous dogs feel braver. 🎾Consistency: Once your dog understands “go to your platform,” you can transfer that skill to real-life spots like their bed at home, the vet’s scale, or even a picnic blanket at the park. 🦴 Did You Know? Working dogs — from police K9s to agility competitors — are trained on elevated platforms too! Platforms help them learn lightning-fast position changes (sit, down, stand) and build the body awareness needed for precision tasks. If it works for professional dogs, you can imagine how helpful it is for pet dogs as well! Waiting for their full potential 😋 #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey #k9 #platformtraining #catoboard #naturesplayground #impulsecontrol #petdog

🌟🌟Building Confidence with Pressure, Recovery & Rewards 🌟🌟 When introducing dogs to something new, we sometimes use gentle pressure. Pressure in training isn’t about force — it’s about providing just enough guidance or encouragement to help a dog step slightly beyond their comfort zone, while still feeling safe and having trust. What matters most is: 🦴 Controlled exposure at each dog’s individual pace 🦴 Quick recovery from startles — noticing how fast a dog can bounce back after a surprise 🦴 Willingness to try again — each attempt usually looks a little more confident than the last 🦴 Positive reinforcement — reassurance, praise, and treats to make new experiences rewarding This way, dogs learn that the world is safe, that they can handle surprises, put trust in their handler, and trying is always celebrated. Henry, Hazel, Duke, Zuko, Reykja (whose first reaction was to bail out 🤣), Coco, Misty (who bravely went halfway for a treat! 👏), and Matilda (who chose not to touch the teeter totter — and that’s okay 💕) all worked on this process at @chasingtrails.dogs ! Every attempt, whether it’s one paw forward or simply engaging with curiosity, builds resilience and confidence for next time. Moving objects take resilience and time!⭐️ #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey #teetertotter #agilitydogsofinstagram #dogagilitytraining #dogenrichment #dogtrainersofig

🎯 Targeting with Coco Bean Targeting means teaching your dog to touch a specific object—like a target stick, your hand, or a mat—with part of their body (most often their nose or paw). 🧠 How do dogs learn it? Through classical conditioning! Every time Coco touched the target stick 🎯, something positive followed (a treat, praise, or play). Over time, she built an association: stick = good things happen! That makes her eager and motivated to interact with the target. ✨ Why is it useful? • Builds focus and engagement with the handler • Strengthens body awareness and confidence • Helps channel energy into a constructive “job” • Serves as a foundation for more advanced skills like loose-leash walking, agility, service tasks, and fun tricks For Coco, it’s both a brain workout and a stepping stone toward bigger goals! 💪🐶 🐾 🐾 🐾 #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey #classicalconditioning #targetstick #smartpuppy #doodlesofinsta #yes

Building food drive with recovery movement for Petey ft. Zuko🍖🐾 With Petey’s CCL tear, our focus is on slow but steady progress — using platforms and guided exercises to encourage safe weight-bearing and controlled shifts onto his healing leg. 💪✨ These low-impact activities are key for strengthening muscles, improving stability, and supporting a return to a healthy, balanced gait. Zuko’s food drive > Petey’s food drive 😆 Recovery is a journey, and Petey is putting in the work every step of the way! 🐕❤️ 🐾 🐾 🐾 #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey #ccltear #fooddrive #luring #catoboard

Tuckered Out Tuesday 💪🐾 Petey put in the work today! We focused on walks with the pulling harness — giving him a safe outlet to lean into that natural drive without it turning into a battle on leash. 🦮✨ Pulling isn’t always “bad” — sometimes it’s about teaching dogs when and how it’s okay. A structured harness gives dogs like Petey the chance to move, explore, and burn energy in a way that keeps things fun (and keeps shoulders safe 😉). Now? He’s snoozing hard, proud of himself for a job well done. 💕 But give him an hour and he’ll be ready to go again 🤣 🐾 🐾 🐾 #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey #pullingdog

💡 Why Every Dog Can Benefit from Muzzle Conditioning 🐾 Muzzles aren’t just for “aggressive” dogs — they’re a valuable safety tool and a life skill that every dog can benefit from learning! ✨ 🎾 Vet Visits & Emergencies – Even the sweetest pup can nip if they’re in pain or scared. 🎾 Public Safety – Muzzles can provide peace of mind in crowded or stressful situations. 🎾 Adventure Ready – In some places, dogs are required to wear a muzzle in public. Being prepared keeps outings fun and stress-free. 🎾 Confidence Building – With the right introduction, dogs learn that wearing a muzzle is no big deal — just another “silly hat” that earns them treats! 🧢🍖 🐶 At Collared Conduct, we introduce muzzles through play, rewards, and patience so pups learn: muzzle = snacks & fun! Think of it like teaching your dog to wear boots, a harness, or even costumes. The earlier and more positively you introduce it, the easier it is if they ever need it. 🐶➡️ Every dog deserves to feel safe and prepared. Let’s make muzzles normal, positive, and even fun! 🐾 🐾 🐾 #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #muzzletraining #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey

✨“Only Paolo can take THIS and THIS… and give you—a Princess.” 👑 Reykja recently completed a week-long boot camp where we focused on building essential skills like engagement, attention, and leash manners. She’s a naturally confident pup, and helping her channel that confidence into thoughtful choices makes her shine even brighter. 💡🐾 She’s already a confident girl—but a confident girl who uses her brain?

☀️ Hot Weather Ahead! ☀️ Cleveland’s about to get toasty—and that means it’s time to adjust your dog’s routine for safety and comfort. 🐶💦 🔥 If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Here’s how to beat the heat while still meeting your dog’s needs: 👟 Paw Protection – Dog shoes or booties can help on short outings, but when in doubt, stay off the pavement. 🧣 Cooling Bandanas & Vests – These are more than cute—they actually help keep your dog cool during potty breaks or car rides. 🏬 Field Trip Fun – Try a pet-friendly store adventure (Always double check, our pets are not service dogs and do not have public access rights!) for sniffing, training, and A/C comfort. 🏠 Indoor Rentals – Book a private session at a local indoor dog gym or rental space for safe, fun playtime. 🧠 Mental Work = Physical Tired – Snuffle mats, puzzle feeders, scent games, or a mini training session can be just as tiring as a walk. Use this time to train a few tricks! 🍦 Cool Treats – Frozen lick mats, pupsicles, or ice cube games are a great way to chill out. Remember: Dogs don’t need a walk every day—but they do need engagement, mental stimulation, connection and safety. 💛 Do you have a favorite local spot or activity you do? Share it with us—we’re all about building confident, happy dogs (without heatstroke). 😎 #HotWeatherTips #DogSafetyFirst #CollaredConduct #PawsOffThePavement #DogEnrichment #staycoolpup #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey

🏃‍♀️🐶 From fear to fun through thoughtful training! This brave girl started out unsure about her slat mill, but with desensitization, counter conditioning, and creating a positive conditioned emotional response (CER), she learned to associate it with safety and fun within two days. By gradually increasing exposure and pairing it with things she loves—like tug!—she’s now running with confidence and joy.

🐶☀️ Staying cool and looking cool—because hot weather safety never goes out of style! ☀️🐶 ☀️ Warm Weather Safety Tips for Dogs ☀️ 1. Walk During Cooler Hours Early mornings and evenings are best—avoid the midday heat. 2. Paw Check Test pavement with your hand. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws. 3. Keep Them Hydrated Always have fresh, cool water available. Bring a portable bowl on walks and outings. 4. Shade is a Must Make sure your dog has access to shady spots when outside. 5. Never Leave Dogs in Cars Even with windows cracked, cars heat up fast and can be deadly. 6. Watch for Heatstroke Signs include excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, glazed eyes, weakness, or collapse. Seek vet care immediately if you notice symptoms. 7. Use Cooling Products Cooling vests, mats, and bandanas can help keep your dog comfortable. 8. Avoid Intense Exercise Keep activities low-key in the heat. Overexertion can quickly lead to overheating. 9. Brush Out Extra Fur Regular grooming helps with airflow and prevents overheating—especially for double-coated breeds. 10. Know Your Dog’s Limits Brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds, seniors, puppies, and dogs with health issues are more heat-sensitive. #dogsofcle #clevelanddogs #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #clevelanddogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey #dogsafety #coolingtips #waterdogsofinstagram #grassrollies #staffymoments

Ondie & Lizzie had a paw-some boot camp stay full of friends, modeling fun, and fresh veggies! These two tried peas and sweet potato—turns out they’re big fans. Lizzie focused on walking without pulling, sharpening her listening skills, and mastering commands like sit, wait, and release. She also worked on giving space to others and respecting thresholds like a true pro. ⭐️ Ondie enjoyed some relaxing sniff walks with her buddy Theo and soaked up the city views.

Milo just wrapped up a month-long board (with his cousins) & stay boot camp, and what a transformation! He’s built structure, shed a few pounds, and picked up some extra brain cells along the way. 😋 Over the past month, Milo has walked an impressive 25 miles—not counting the mid-air breathers he took to give his luxating patellas a little TLC. One of his biggest victories? Conquering the stairs! Now, there’s no getting stuck (or hiding from him!). He’s mastered coming when called, waiting in place, and has done plenty of socializing with other dogs. Keep up the amazing progress, Milo!

☀️What a beautiful day to take this “dog” out on a walk! 🐲Bearded dragons need actual sunlight (not just artificial UVB bulbs) because natural sunlight provides a full spectrum of UV radiation, including UVB and UVA, which are essential for their health. Direct exposure to the sun helps them synthesize vitamin D3 more effectively than artificial sources, allowing them to properly absorb calcium and prevent metabolic bone disease. Even the best UVB bulbs can’t fully replicate the benefits of real sunlight! 🐲 #dogsofcle #cledogs #clevelanddogs #dogsofcleveland #clevelanddogwalker #cledogwalker #clepetsitter #dogwalkersofcle #cledoglife #clevelanddogsofinstagram #clevelandpets #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #dogsofig #petfriendly #beardiesofig #beardienation #beardiesofinsta

Zuko doesn’t just wake up this cute! 🐶 Regular grooming isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good too! Keeping up with your dog’s breed-specific grooming needs helps maintain a healthy coat, prevents matting, and supports overall well-being. Between professional grooms, use the right tools to brush, bathe, and care for your pup at home. Zuko gets brushed out at LEAST twice a week and sees his groomer once a month! A little upkeep goes a long way in keeping them comfortable, healthy and happy! 🌟Don’t forget to start introducing your puppy as early as 10 weeks to Husbandry and Cooperative Care training! This helps them build confidence and ensures stress-free grooming as they grow! ✂️🐶 #clevelandpetcare #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #balancetraining #ConsistencyIsKey #sitstay #exposuretraining #socializationtraining #buildingconfidence #doggrooming #doodlegrooming #husbandrytraining #cooperativecare #positivereinforcementtraining #desensitization

Perfect for recall training, confidence building, and controlled exploration—without the risk of your pup going rogue… Unless you’re Petey 😅🚀🐶 #clevelandpetcare #dogfriends #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #dogadventures #sniffari #leashboss #carharttdog #zoomies #arcadiatraildog #LongLineLeash #RecallTraining #AdventurePup #snowpuppy

Building confidence through the world around them 🌎 🐾 Exposing dogs to diverse environments helps them develop resilience, curiosity, and self-assurance. • Adapting to Movement & Surfaces: Standing on a playground swing challenges balance and coordination, teaching them to trust their footing. • Overcoming Heights & Obstacles: Climbing onto tree stumps boosts confidence by encouraging problem-solving and spatial awareness. • Engaging with New Surroundings: Investigating different textures, scents, and structures fosters curiosity and a positive association with novel experiences. Through guided exploration, dogs gain the confidence to navigate the world with ease, making them more adaptable and well-rounded companions. 🐕🐩🐾 #clevelandpetcare #dogfriends #confidencetraining #cleveland #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram #dogmontessori #dogadventures #sniffari #canadapooch #ohiocity #brecksvillereservation #westcreekreservation

Friendship takes time, patience, and the right environment to thrive! Selective socialization helps dogs build confidence by meeting compatible friends in structured settings. Pack walks provide the perfect opportunity to practice neutrality—learning to coexist, walk together, and develop positive habits. Not all dogs need to play to be social; sometimes, the best friendships are built side by side. Through solo walks, small trials, and intentional pairings, we create opportunities for dogs to bond in a healthy and controlled way! #clevelandpetcare #packwalknation #dogfriends #socializationtraining #cleveland #snowwalks #dogsofcleveland #cledoglife #clevelandpets #clevelanddogwalker #dogtraining #walkies #cledogs #dogsofinstagram

We’re out in the field working our tails off and teaching patience! We hope that your recall is effective enough that you “COME” back to learn more about us very soon! If you don’t think your recall is solid or even if you do, use that follow “tool”!
