SHOT
THERE.
AVENIDA HOUSTON, DISCOVERY
GREEN.
LOOKS SO GREEN RIGHT NOW FROM
ALL THE RECENT RAINS.
FROM POTTY TRAINING TO BASIC
OBEDIENCE, OUR NEXT GUESTS CAN
HELP YOU AND YOUR DOG WORK
BETTER TOGETHER.
>> I WAS LIKE, FOR POTTY
TRAINING FOR HUMANS?
WOW.
OWNER AND TRAINER OF BARK 5th
AVENUE, PENNY JOINS US NOW WITH
SOME COMMON MISTAKES PET OWNERS
MAKE AND HOW YOU CAN FIX THEM
WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
TRAINING.
WE SHOULD ALSO POINT OUT OSCAR
IS HANDLING LITTLE ZIZI HERE.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK.
SO WE OF COURSE KNOW THAT THIS
DOG, THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMING
GROUP OF DOGS, YOU HAVE TRAINED
SO WELL.
WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
BASICS.
>> YES.
>> SO PEOPLE GET A NEW PUPPY.
THEY GET IT HOME AND REALIZE,
THERE'S --
>> NOT POTTY TRAINED.
>> EXACTLY.
>> HOW DO WE START THAT PROCESS?
>> SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
ONE OF OUR MAIN TIPS THAT WE
THINK IS SUPER IMPACTFUL TO YOUR
SUCCESS WITH POTTY TRAINING AND
THAT'S NUTRITION.
SO THAT'S THE THING THAT WE TALK
ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT POTTY
TRAINING AND NUTRITION.
>> WHY IS THAT?
>> BECAUSE WHATEVER GOES IN A
DOG HAS TO COME OUT A DOG.
>> RIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT BASIC CONCEPT.
>> SO IF IT'S FULL OF FILLERS
AND GRAINS AND THOSE TYPES OF
THINGS, THEN IT'S EXCESS GARBAGE
THAT THE DOG DOESN'T NEED.
SO IT EQUATES TO YOU HAVING TO
DO MORE WORK TO GET YOUR DOG
OUTSIDE TO GO POTTY, WHICH
LESSENS THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCCESS.
>> LOOK FOR THE MORE
ALL-NATURAL --
>> WE'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR
GRAIN-FREE FORMULA.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR IF
POSSIBLE A BIOLOGICALLY
APPROPRIATE OR A PALEO DIET FOR
DOGS, THE RAW IS THE BEST.
>> A LABEL ON A COMMONLY SOLD
DOG FOOD.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
COMMON PET FOODS YOU'LL FIND IN
YOUR GROCERY STORE AS FAR AS IS
A PUPPY FOOD.
AND WHAT HAPPENS IS ALL OF THOSE
THAT ARE IN RED, THOSE ARE NOT
ONLY CONTROVERSIAL IN TERMS OF
YOUR DOG'S HEALTH, BUT THEY
SABOTAGE OR POTENTIALLY CAN
SABOTAGE YOUR DOG'S POTTY
TRAINING.
LOTS OF PRIVATES, LOTS --
PRESERVATIVES, LOTS OF SODIUM.
>> THERE'S A LOT OF INGREDIENTS.
>> NUTRITION IS ABSOLUTELY AT
THE ROOT OF A A LOT OF BEHAVIOR
PROBLEMS WITH THESE DOGS.
>> WE'VE GOT NUTRITION IN CHECK.
NOW, WHAT ABOUT LIKE CALLING
YOUR DOG, COME HERE, ADVISEI.
>> -- ZIZI --
>> WE JUST HAD A BETTER EXAM OF
WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
NOW WE HAVE THE GOOD LABOR DAY
UP.
-- LABEL UP.
>> MINIMAL INGREDIENTS.
>> FEWER INGREDIENTS.
>> A SHORT LIST LIKE THAT.
>> THAT'S A DOG RAW FOOD PANEL
AND THAT'S ALL MEAT PROTEIN WITH
A FEW DIFFERENT LITTLE
VEGETABLES THROWN IN THERE.
THAT'S PERFECT BECAUSE YOUR DOG
IS GOING TO HAVE VERY LITTLE
WASTE WITH THAT FOOD.
HE'S GOING TO UTILIZE --
>> YOU CAN READ EVERY WORD.
>> YOU CAN READ IT ALL.
IF YOU CAN PRONOUNCE IT AND READ
IT, YOU'RE DOING GOOD.
AS FAR AS CALLING THE DOG,
OSCAR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO WALK
OVER THERE, WE'RE GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES WE
SEE OWNERS MAKE IS THEY GET
FRUSTRATED IF THEIR DOG IS NOT
COMING TO THEM.
WHAT WINDS UP HAPPENING IS IS
THE DOG DOESN'T WANT TO COME TO
YOU IF YOU'RE SCOLDING IT.
>> THEY SENSE THAT, RIGHT?
>> YES.
THEY'RE VERY EMOTIONALLY DRIVEN
DOGS AND VERY SOCIAL ANIMALS.
SO WHAT WE LIKE TO TELL TO YOU
DO IS BE HAPPY AND BE THE SAFE
PLACE.
AND ALWAYS HAVE A FOOD REWARD
WITH YOU OR A HIGH VALUE REWARD.
SOME DOGS IT COULD BE A BALL OR
A TOY.
SO IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH
YOUR DOG AND YOU FIND YOURSELF
SAYING, COME, COME TO ME, HOW --
>> HOW DO YOU DO THAT.
>> LET'S PRETEND THAT ZIZI
WASN'T COMING.
IT WOULD BE ZIZI, COME.
YES, GOOD, YAY, GOOD!
SO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY AND YOU
ALSO WANT TO BE THE SAFE PLACE.
YOU NEVER WANT TO GET ON TO YOU
ARE ON TO YOUR DOG BECAUSE
YOU'RE FRUSTRATED.
SO YOU HAVE TO SHIFT YOUR
EMOTIONS.
>> POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT.
>> EVEN THOUGH YOUR EMOTION ARE
GOING MY GOODNESS.
ZIZI, CAN YOU COME?
YES, YES, YES.
>> AAH.
>> JUST BE HAPPY AND ALWAYS BE
THE SAFE PLACE.
YOU DON'T WANT YOUR DOG TO DREAD
COMING TO YOU BECAUSE IT THINKS
IT'S GOING TO BE PUNISHED.
>> WE'RE GOING TO STATISTIC
SHORT ON TIME.
THE REACTIVITY.
>> AND SO WITH REACTIVITY, WHAT
HAPPENS IS WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE TO BE PRO-ACTIVE ABOUT
REACTIVITY IN YOUR DOG.
SO IF YOUR DOG SEES SOMETHING, A
SQUIRREL, A PERSON, ANOTHER DOG,
AND IT STARTS TO BECOME
REACTIVE, THE WAY THAT, ADDRESS
THAT IS YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR
EYES ON YOUR DOG AND BE
PRO-ACTIVE ABOUT GETTING YOUR
DOG'S ATTENTION BEFORE HE EVER
REACTS TO WHATEVER IS COULD BE
AN ISSUE.
>> YOUR DOG --
>> SO GOOD.
>> EYES FIXATEDDED ON YOU.
