Bruno is such a good boy!!
Canāt wait to get in the games!!
Loading up that CLICKER!!
One of the best tools I use to quickly change the emotions of a dog..
Could be a nervous dog like Cleo ..
Or a knuckle head like Frank!!
Id be lying if I told you it was easy.
Like everything it takes practice.
Timing is of the utmost importance in order to build on what you have. You can never go to slow.
In this industry slow IS fast!
Itās MOST important to have fun!
Watch his eye ball lol.
Satisfied
Getting in some reps on the outside of the local dog park..
Frank did amazing !!!
I am gunna look into a body cam for sure Iām missing all the best footage!! Bc I have to stay in the moment with my dog!!
Update on Frank!!
I have to say our improvements exceed what I ever expected..!!
Today we passed a few dogs with no problem at all!!
One of the dogs we passed was being a TOTAL jerk like how Frank was..
YES PAST TENSE .. I feel it is safe to say we are not out of the woodwork Iām sure but holay cow!!
Iām so proud today not with just how far Frank has come, also the fact that I am finally LETTING IT ALL GO!! Honestly and truly how much time do we have left on this planet?!
I love what I do AGAIN!
I hope it shows!!
Update on Frank since the Seminar.
Well itās been almost a month now.
Since learning at the seminar and implementing new techniques.
Soon as we got home I immediately gave Frank a bath and THEN played with Cleo. He smelled so dirty lol. Frank and I had a good conversation during his bath time and we agreed to do better at working with each other. Not against each other. Phew.
Till I took him for a walk and we both spiralled back into old ways. Literally forgot everything we just learned. (Sh*tShow)
Made it home to prep myself for the next walk.. and I have to say it was only the first walk that I had the issue bc when I started using the same words and energy I was taught in that room.. things were much much better ..!!
Iām happy to say Frank has been a super star in his decision making since.
#Grateful
Here we are having a nice walk with our neighbour up the street..

So many dogs at the parade today!!
Be sure to stay safe today drinking all that wine my peeps!! #Grape&WineFestival
You know instead of trying to make this fancy for social. I decided to just give it to you uncut and raw as boring as most will find this.. this was the highlight of our weekend.. š„°
To be meet with and be coached by one of the greatest trainers IMO @larrykrohn and meet so many in the industry that were kind and encouraging to me.
I learned about a year ago I didnāt know as much as I thought I did and I canāt stress enough to anyone that calls themselves a āDog Trainerā KEEP LEARNINGā¦
This could not have been achieved at all without the help of Jay Jack and his expertise in reading my Frank.
Shout out to @joel_dogtrainer for his participation and making a point to come and talk to me if he saw me outside and
I was with Frank in all areas of the hotel. He always stopped and made it a training choice for Frank..!!
Big shout out to @dankroftk9 for catching this moment in time.
I am forever grateful for this experience
So much sweat and tears I left on that floor this weekend
THANK YOU..!!!
Yaāll are sleepinā like I was, till I met this guy.. if you donāt know him let me tell you about MY experience with this trainer.
This is Jay Jack.
A serious dude that loved on Frank better than I EVER could!!! Frank doesnāt kiss (lick) me .. I was too jealous to see this side of Frank. He was giving Jay all the love bc he was so happy to finally have PROPER communication. It was like best buds ON SITE!! No joke.
Frank f**ked up A LOT. But Jays calm demeanour it was hard to catch how he straightened Frank out. My mind was BLOWN. Frank on a flat buckle the whole time, popping off like nobodyās business.
As you all know I have struggled with him for too long. 2.5years.
Jay showed me how to give Frank the things he needs to better communicate and read each other. He also gave me the tools to manage MYSELF better!! Lord knows I fall apart for this dog and itās been a stressful ride but I wouldnāt change a thing bc Iām climbing up that ladder of INFORMATION.
This weekend was a ROLLER COASTER of emotions. It was so worth every bead of sweat.
So happy there was a lot of footage from all who attended. I hope to put together something fun to watch. From different angles. Itās so basic to most humans but to anyone that knows Frank or works dogs like him, the footage to me is astounding. I shed a tear every time I watch it.
Iām happy to release some exclusive video of us real soon.itās the grand finally of the seminar. So rewarding!
Big thanks to everyone playing a part in our journey.. everyone there came up to me and congratulated me bc it was
NOT F**KING EASY!!
I donāt do this for the money ..
I do this for the love of my pitty heart.
The most misunderstood of all K9ās.
Also banned where I live.
We are learning some really great stuff here with Larry, Jay, and Joel.
Jay IS AMAZING and has Frankās approval!!!
Joel was teaching us movie training tricks
once they let us know the doās and dontās.
Aha I am gunna teach Frank to āplay deadā
Sit stay is so crucial for your dog to learn and practice
Everything extends from this command.
Lets replace bad habits with good ones.
Then repeatā¦
We were not able to do this overnight !!
Teach your dogs not to pick up things on their walks.
Commerical treats can be super expensive. Nothing beats the real thing for dogs. Dogs perceive this as high value. Check out that PRICE!!!
Cleo on command 3
