We're aiming for a functional "heel" not a show/working "heel".
The heel is a useful command for every dog! It can be used anytime you want your dog walking closely at your side; moving in and out of storefronts, walking past people or dogs, walking as cars are passing, or as a reset if they start pulling on their leash!

Graduation posts are never easy... we get so attached to our puppies! 🥹
*not so little* Argo graduated from our Puppy Foundation Program! His feelings about his puppy training were much more positive than his feelings about that stupid graduation cap... but he's a good sport! 🥰

Does it get any cooler than this guy!?
Milo has been with us for a couple weeks now, enrolled in our Loose Leash Program!
He's just so excited about life, he feels like he needs to pull his owners to get there faster! Milo is learning that walks are far more enjoyable without pulling and that his parents are exciting and rewarding!
Did you know that we use no tools for our Loose Leash Program? Just the flat collar and leash you already own. Our goal is to teach each dog how to correct their own pulling, making your job super easy!

Happiest of graduation days to this fuzzy wuzzy bear - Thebe!
This little guy and his family were such a treat to work with. I'm always amazed how much owners and pups can learn in 6 weeks, especially as unexperienced dog owners!

Ahhh clicker training... what a beautiful tool, let's talk about it!
Clicker training refers to using a small tool that creates a click sound when you press it. This click sound is introduced to our dogs and we create a positive association with it, they learn that the click sounds means a food reward is coming.
From there the clicker is used to mark wanted behaviours. These behaviours can be prompted with a cue (asking them to sit) or can happen spontaneously (sitting without being asked to). The clicker is pressed as soon as the wanted behaviour is performed and a treat follows shortly after.
The clicker will never replace a cue, you still need to talk to your dog! It is simply a consistent and distinct communication tool.
Clicker training can be used in many different training scenarios, including reactivity training!

A sneak peek into a week in my life as a RVT and dog trainer!
Every day and every week looks a little bit different, which is such a perk of this job! Grateful to be doing what I love every single day, wouldn't trade it for the world. 👩🏻⚕️🐶🐕

We mean this in the best way!
Training is supposed to be a slow, safe and positive process. Using "quick fixes" can cause confusion or negative emotions in our dogs and they often don't address the cause of the problem.
It is a red flag 🚩 when trainers claim they can solve you and your dogs problem in one lesson.. if it sounds too good to be true, it's probably not true!
Positive reinforcement training is THE most effective dog training method but it takes time, consistency and repetition.

One shoe DOES NOT fit all when it comes to socialization training... mostly because dogs don't wear shoes 😜
Socialization training can be used to show a nervous dog how to enjoy new environments or it can be used to teach an overly excited dog how to remain neutral in stimulating environments.
Our Private Socialization Program is designed to be adjusted to suit each individual dog's needs! •
