Dog
training at a red carpet Beverly Hills restaurant,
was quite an Eat with your Paws dog training adventure
Dog training at The Farm of Beverly Hills®
189 The Grove Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90036
This dog training article and video is about the America Eats with your
Paws event at The Farm of Beverly Hills® at The Grove.
The Eat With Your Paws event was an interesting adventure, especially
for my friend’s dog. It seems that her dog can be a bit intimidated
by novel visual and environmental stimuli as well as unusual noises and
the Big Eye we call a camera. It was interesting to see how this dog gradually
adapted to the stimulation of The Grove’s touristy shopping environment.
Go to this page to see more about dog training in
other Los Angeles tourist locations. Our four legged companion required
quite some time before it habituated enough to the environment that we
could actually walk all the way to the dog event. This proved to be rather
interesting, and it has made me begin to reconsider how I plan to classify
Lifestyle Support Dogs®.
The main training technique we used to get this dog used
to our new and stressful environment was to wait until the dog habituated
to a new location. Once the dog was comfortable in the new location we
could get it to walk until some unexpected event would again over stress
our four footed best friend. If this dog is moving it can tolerate more
stimulation than when it is stationary.
The technique that worked the fasted was to have
the dog walk between both its owner and myself. This is a technique I
often use when training dogs with clients. The other helpful dog handling
tip with this k9 kid is to keep the dog away from overwhelming pedestrian
traffic. We walked in the street, between the rivers of pedestrian traffic
that moved in front of the shops and stores.
You will notice in the video that the dog is wearing
a pinch collar. I usually don’t use a pinch collar for this type
of dog. However when it was suggested a different collar be used, my friend
told me that, this is the only collar the dog cannot slip out of when
he panics. It’s for this very, “cant slip the collar in a
panic,” that I usually use a slip
collar (choke collar). I feel some type of constricting collar is
needed for taking dogs out into public. This is for the dog’s safety
and the safety of society in general. Many people who are concerned about
the negative publicity associated with the slip collars can accept a limited
slip collar such as a martingale collar. Another good combination is a
head collar
in combination with a slip collar.
The
Eat with your Paws dog event was in celebration of national dog week.
However, on my calendar, dog week kicks off 49 days of dog centric self
improvement that start on June 21st, the first day of RenChenZa®.

The
press material said that the Eat With Your Paws For a Good Cause benefits
Much Love Animal Rescue and other animal shelters across the county. There
were three promoted players in this event. The three companies involved
are Wholemeals™ made by Waltham®, The Farm of Beverly
Hills®, and Much Love Animal Rescue.
The
Farm of Beverly Hills® has a patio area that is dog friendly.
Our doggy adventure was rewarded with a free snack at The Farm of Beverly
Hills®. The human food was very good, but our tail wagging
friend was a bit too stressed to eat. We took his meal home in a doggy
bag. However, if you watch the video you will see other canine gourmets
enjoying a Wholemeal™ feast. Overall I would recommend dinning at
this dog friendly restaurant. However, we did discover one negative to
visiting this location, and that is the price for parking. Expect to pay
more for parking than for a meal. In whole this event was fun, we enjoyed
great food, saw some interesting dogs and got to mingle with some great
dog owners.
