Hi Annie, a quick email to me at learn@alaskadogworks.com with your scores is great, then I can input them into your profile in my system.

I’m so glad you’re already noticing huge differences in the approach. Each dog has their own personality and this program gives you a way to develop and train for those personalities.

Happy New Year and I…[Read more]

Jenna we have done some updates to the program, did you find the complete button?

Hello Jessica
Thank you for getting me your personality profile numbers.
I will send a message to you via text regarding the schedule for the next class. This coming week is really slammed for me.

Renea and Mark
Thank you for the update and I will have Robert, my husband and page administrator to find the test results.

Piper
My apologies, I just got this message. I’m still in recovery and unable to drive – might be released tomorrow.
I’ll see you guys soon.

Jeremy
I didn’t see your message until today. Surgery did not turn out as planned – ended up having two. I’m on the mend. I hope training with DD is moving along. You should’ve gotten the email from Joel telling you that your program was approved and you’re sponsored by the ELKS Lodge. I’m not cleared to drive yet, hopefully tomorrow. Text me so…[Read more]

Use of treats is up to you, praise is expected. Over use of treats in dogs with higher prey drive than your Rags can cause problems. 🙂

All of those commands are excellent for teaching him to get in the car. We say “load up”
Remember when unloading to say “wait” before allowing him to exit, think of a release command for exiting and then encourage him to stay near, or even sit by the vehicle with leash on until your ready for the next step.

Anne
Sorry for the delay in answering your questions. I’m not on the PupPortal daily so I miss things. In regards to his reactivity to noises at the door and window…best case is to catch him in the act and tell him to “check it” – if he looks without jumping or barking excessively then praise him for it. Teaching him a command for the thing he’s…[Read more]

That’s awesome!
We just dropped your order in the mail, you should get it in a couple days.
Thank you

Hi Audra
The numbers do look pretty close.
Try using all numbers between 0 through 10 as scoring choices.

I scored Teddy Prey 68 Pack 55 Def. Flight 60 Def. Fight 40

Then you compare your numbers to the scenarios to see which one is closest and it’ll explain how to work the dog through the drives into PACK which is optimal for training retention.

Tammy
A lot of this is addressed in the first meeting – please text my phone number to schedule that!

Please retake the test and utilize all numbers between 0 and 10, not just 0, 5, and 10. I apologize it is confusing directions. But I would also imagine that is about correct for his breed type. Also, you both should take the test individually…[Read more]

Hi Carlotta, Just got this message, my apologies I have to get physically on a computer to see these. Like I mentioned earlier we need to remove her from her “comfort” area which is your home. Drive her to another place in the neighborhood to get her out of the spot.

Great job you guys.

Go back and match her numbers as closely as you can to the descriptions (i.e.) junk yard dog, teachers pet etc. to see which type she’s most like.

To keep her out of that defense drive and in pack drive we’ll use prey, like toys and treats to capture her attention

Jessica, the program is set for 90 days access. We will extend it for you for another 90 days. Keep working hard. Michele

Hi Dawn
1. Tikahtnu Commons – Lowe’s parking lot.
2. June 4th is Friday and drop off is fine but unfortunately it’ll need to be late – I’d prefer you drop her off on Saturday the 5th at 3:30pm and I will send a text message when we get closer to firm this up.

As far as pick up date its the 18th, 19th or 20th unless you’d like to add a week and…[Read more]

Good Morning Simmons Family!

Please go to the Ascent Course and do the Getting Started part, take the personality profile using number 0-10 for scoring. Then send me a picture text to 907-841-1603 of the scores for me to review. Then follow the Week 1 on the Ascent Course and look at or print the following from the Projects section: Command…[Read more]

Thats great, no one has ever shared with my like that so it may take me a bit to locate.

I’m going to just put this note here that I am calling you right now!

Looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow morning!
Michele
