ABA based animal trainer in Vermont. Author of A Guide To Living With & Training A Fearful Dog and Does My Dog Need Prozac? I worked as an RBT with kids pre-COVID. Trying to stay inspired, hopeful & engaged. I row, swim, bike & try not to fall down x-country skiing. I mostly love turning ppl on to teaching (any species) w/o using force, fear, pain or manipulation. AKA Debbie Jacobs RBT, CPDT
Puppy class. Fun. Play. Treats. Good social interactions with new people and other dogs.
To help people see the difference in a dog's body language when they are scared, worried or threatened i created a collection of scared/not scared images. The pics were shared by members of the Fearful Dog group on FB #dogsofmastodon
From an old #foodworks campaign to encourage people to use food to train dogs.
Puppies learning that paying attention to people often leads to treats. #dogsofmastodon
This pup's owner has started to call me now and then just to tell me how wonderful she thinks he is. That's bound to happen when we teach a dog to do what owners would like them to do. It's even more likely to happen when we don't use force, fear, pain or threats to teach. #dogsofmastodon "I don't poop in the house anymore and I come when called even around other dogs."
Maddie the bulldog wondering where the darn treat is already. Enough chatter lady show me the money. #dogsofmastodon
Windsprites can catch some air. English bulldogs are not impressed. #dogsofmastodon
I'm new to the world of #equine training. My friend & founder of Lemon's Hope Sanctuary in #Brattleboro, Sara is helping me learn. I don't mind that she thinks it's funny that I'm nervous about them biting me.They have giant mouths and big teeth and some are taller than I am.
