I’m coming at this argument from all angles here. I’ve trained service dogs professionally for the last 5 years, I used to have a service dog of my own, and I’m also a behavior consultant who does a lot of work with shy, reactive, and aggressive dogs. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS TYPE OF TRAINING AT HOME. Note: she has been a neutral demo dog for behavior modification training for years, has extensive training/testing for ladder aggression, and she’s been schooled on how to do this stuff safely. I’m thankful to have a dog like this in my life. A lot of dogs have learned great behavior from working side by side with Miss Monster. ![]() We start and end our sessions with play to keep things positive and fun. If given a release cue from “work” though, she will burst into butt wiggles and bows trying to get the dog to play. I’ve never met a dog who didn’t learn to respect her, and eventually mimic her good behavior. Her corrections are more fair, well timed, and consistent than most humans can give. He’s technically “fully trained” by another trainer but he does not meet my standards by any means nor is he where his handler wants him.įaith gets pretty snarky if working with a misbehaving dog, and will actually get snippy if the dog breaks a stay, starts pulling on leash, etc. Just over the top and all over the place, paying little mind to his handler. I brought her in to work to help set a dog straight today.

The tendency towards dog and cat shapes is common and natural, so referencing is very important, especially when it comes to unusual species.Faith is a Miniature American Shepherd trained as my medical alert and psychiatric service dog. ![]() It varies widely depending on the species and subspecies, but is important to keep in mind in order to get the animal to look like what is supposed to be. ![]() This is fine if what you’re drawing is a dog or a cat, however in wild animals, there is a tendency towards a less pronounced stop. It can be caused by a tendency to draw a more familiar shape- most of us have seen a dog and come in contact with them regularly, for many people 'dog’ is the default shape for a four-legged mammal.Ĭats too will have a stop that tends towards being more pronounced. This pronounced, low, sharp stop is what I am referring to by ‘dog stop’ or 'dog muzzle’. It can vary depending on what the dog is bred to do, but is generally going to be very sharp. On dogs this tends to be much more pronounced due to our breeding of dogs with more anthropomorphic qualities. The stop is the part of an animal’s face where the muzzle meets the forehead. Many of them have very dog-like stops, so I’ll briefly go over what this means. I notice a large contributor to many pictures’ dogginess comes from the muzzle.
