https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tracyfranken I am so excited you are here! Hey there!

Do you long to have a happy, confident dog you can take anywhere and everywhere? Are you worried your reactive, fearful dog may hurt someone - or something else? Do you have to “prepare” yourself just to take your dog for a walk around the block? I will help rebuild trust and confidence for you and your dog, to have the calm, joyful life with your dog that you always imagined. I’m Tracy, a retired

vet tech turned dog trainer, mom, wife and all-around dog lover. I have had dogs all my life but when my first dog bit my friend, I was so horrified and ashamed. I immediately turned to dog obedience training books and classes, but it didn't help. This time my dog bit someone very familiar to him and in that moment I knew - this wouldn’t be fixed with simple obedience. I finally realized the key to building confidence in my dog was understanding him on a deeper level. Tossing treats and teaching tricks wasn’t going to cut it. After years of research, trial and error, and discovering a method and a lifestyle of living with dogs based on understanding, respect and communication and not obedience, I'm excited to share what I've learned with you! Now I have a pack of “just good dogs” I trust to take anywhere. Our lives are calm, peaceful, fun and most of all inclusive. My goal is to help you to establish routines that build confidence, develop effective communication strategies, and how to address fear-based behaviours and techniques for enhancing social skills- without spending countless hours and dollars on dog obedience training that just doesn't work. If you are ready to have a happy confident dog you can trust to take with you everywhere, Beyond Obedience is for you! Grab your leash and collar because we are about to jump in!

Selfies with dogs

07/16/2024

Happening tonight @ 5pm EDT! Karen Laws - The Ontario Dog Trainer will host this live stream discussion.
Fun Fact:
You don't need to have all the newest and fanciest dog training gear or treat pouches.

You don't need the best treats, toys or even the best dog bed!

Nope!
You are enough.

You can be a tremendous influence in your dog's life.
And once you figure that out... everything else gets easier. (even training)
Why?

Because it’s easy to train a dog that WANTS to follow you.

So glad Karen Laws stopped in on her way through her East Coast Tour. Of course in true “dog trainer fashion” we both took more photos and videos of Pippy and Nike. Noting how well each of them did greeting and being together. We are such dog nerds! 😂. Anyway it has been way too long and we had so much to catch up on. Looking forward to to future RVing with you my friend! Love you lots! xoxox

Let’s talk about proper socialization shall we?

05/07/2024

If you have a fear reactive dog, you know better than anyone about threats and threat levels. You know about living in survival mode. So how can I help? Please let me know what you think you need to help you and your dog be successful? And what does “successful” look like for you and your fearful dog?

Building trust takes time and it can be challenging when you have a dog that is afraid of people. Here’s why and what to do about it.

04/01/2024

my dog is nipping and chasing guests… is it fear or fulfillment?

03/26/2024

Ask the dog: small dog edition !
Small dogs quite often get the short end of the stick when it comes to choices in their life. We often don’t take them seriously when they disagree with something and after a while that can affect their attitude, do you ask the dog?

Our Story

Hi, My name is Tracy. I am a passionate public speaker, author and all around dog lover and I help people live better with dogs. Sometimes that looks like dog training... but I am NOT a dog trainer, at least not in the traditional sense anyway. My heart tells me that my work transcends "just dog training". That the core of my work is to help dog lovers like me be better humans for their dogs. Dogs are perfect at being dogs, but can struggle in Humansville. We, the humans struggle to guide them in a way that makes sense to them. If we work on ourselves, and start to see the world as our dogs do, well then, everything around us changes, including our dogs. Join me on an ongoing journey of personal development that you take with your dog... Your dog will thank you. 💕
