Advanced class graduation tonight. Class got postponed on wed due to the winter storm. Im so proud of these three, they've come a long way since puppy class.

Huge thanks to The Green Grotto, cause these photos are amazing with that jungle background.

I've been meaning to make a post sbout Vali, but you know life gets hectic sometimes.

Vali is often triggered by many things in life, which has made walks hard for him and his humans.

Im so Incredibly proud of how far they've come as a team. Not only was it about working on redirection, and resets, but teaching his people to find ways for him to dog without concern, and to enjoy even the hard parts, which isn't easy. We are human and often expect bigger things not only from dogs but from people.

We often get lost in *this isn't the dog I expected to have* when in reality they are just dogs, they come with personality, behaviors, and quirks.

Vali has learned to use his nose instead of fixated on a trigger, hes learned to check in often for reassurance and guidance.

I am so proud of him, and all the work his humans continue to do with him. Its paying off.

Reactive dogs are not bad dogs, they are struggling. Support them, train them, and just remember they are having a hard time too.

After a minor sickness, I am back at it today.

Thanks to everyone for understanding, I super appreciate it.

I started the day with Penny, who has developed some new behaviours that her daily wanted to get a handle on. They are doing great so far with everything and have her set up for success. We discussed a bit more on boundaries and a plan moving forward.

Week three for these guys. I couldn't be more proud of them. Group stays/waits, loose leash walking past each other down isles, greeting staff, and being polite at the tills.

I couldn't be more thrilled at how awesome they all did last night at RONA Lethbridge

Apple came in for a nail trim last week, she has never been the biggest fan of nail trims. Her parents have been doing a great job on paw touching and all the things.

Her mom brought in a lick mat to her appt, and she happily enjoyed her yummy snack while I clipped har nails.

She totally rocked it.

When it comes to nail trims it can take some time to get your dog used to it.

Biggest advice I often huge is to massage your puppies feet, touch each pad between your thumb and forefinger.

The biggest mistake is when we pull out the nail clippers and hold our dog down or clip a nail while they as asleep.

The best advice is if you are uncomfortable ever clipping nails, get them done professionally. Don't attempt if you feel uncomfortable or unsure.

Work with your dog daily on feet touching, and touching the clippers to the toes, and have those high value treats ready.

Here's a link for a video with great tips on nail trims. Karen Pryor uses a clicker, but you can say yes when the clicker makes a sound in the video.

Let's take a second to talk about AI.

No this image is not AI, and yes these words are all my own. 😀

This post is not to have any form of debate, its just some thoughts I've been having.

I understand everyone has their views on it, and thats totally understandable.

Its here, and its a tad intimidating, sure you can ask it for all the help in the world, but just remember that having an actual human who is educated in that field is far better then a robot searching the internet for *possible correct* answers.

I mostly wanted to make this post directed to dog training. Sure you can ask AI for help with training, but its not a one fits all sorta deal, every dog is unique and their training needs can often vary. A robot wont know your dog, they can't see the behaviour, they can only go off maybe an image you share and how you feel about your dogs behaviours.

A trainer can assess in person, visually and provide you with proper tools and training tips and tricks. Im a pretty visual person myself, and learn by watching and then doing which is exactly how I teach.

So just remember, although asking AI might be easy, its not going to provide you with the same experience as a certified trainer can.

I am still taking on new clients and have openings in my wed day training for current/past clients.

Feel free to reach out if you need anything, most services can be booked right on my website under book online, but im always happy to talk on the phone, text or email.

Happy Monday 😊
