Something I hear from clients is that they feel bad telling their dog “no”. Their dog just melts their heart and they have such a hard time setting boundaries. The reality is that dogs CRAVE structure and boundaries. It makes decision making for them so much easier, because they know what’s expected of them.

Tip: if you find yourself struggling to set boundaries, pick one thing and start with that. See how much your dog changes and how your relationship changes!
A few examples of boundaries can be: no jumping on the furniture, sit and wait for food, don’t run through the door before a walk.

Let me know in the comments what you’re going to start with!

Meet Heart 🐶

You may remember Heart from my post of some graduates from the Standard Session Package. Heart is a Pomsky and is quite insecure. You couldn’t pick up the leash or even touch him without a yelp, quiver, or potential nip even. During our sessions, we worked on all the basics for obedience, but more importantly, we focused on how to desensitize Heart to normal life. We built trust, pushed behaviours, and saw great improvement in him in just 5 weeks! There’s still so much work to do for Heart to get him to where he needs to be, but am I ever happy with the results that we have already!
Heart’s parents are doing a fantastic job at getting him where he needs to be!

Everyone loves a good cookie! 🍪
What are your favourite brands for your pups?

03/04/2022

We've all been there.

Your chair is now "their" chair.
Your pillow has morphed to their body shape.

The living room is their personal playground.

Sometimes this is not a big deal, but always make sure your dog understand and respects your boundaries that you put in place!

There ain't no party like a party 🥳

We love giving updates on our furry clients, and this is no different!

This is Harvey! Harvey is a wonderful and excitable lab. He loves when people come to the house but he was a little too intense with his greetings. During training, we worked on getting him to calm down faster. I was able to teach his owners and give them the tools to manage his overexcitement so they can have friends over.
Harvey did excellent in our training and so did his owners!! Keep it up! ☺️

How many of us have been in this situation.

All is well. Tails wagging, ears flopping. 🐕

Suddenly, a yelp, and you're not sure who got upset with whom but now you're checking for ouchies.

Learning the body language of our pups, and building a strong, loyal relationship with them will save us a lot of future conflicts.

Do you struggle with knowing what is friendly vs. disaster play?

Do you know why your pet pulls on their leash?

The world is big and exciting, and our pets just want to see and sniff it all. Most of the time, the pulling is a result of a lack of impulse control.

Next time you're on a walk, try doing 180 degree turns. When they go ahead of you, turn the other way and use the word “heel”.

Once they catch up to you, you can continue walking that direction, or turn to where you were going before. Anytime they go ahead of you, turn and say heel.

Let us know if you try it! 🐾

❓Did you know that founder, Lyndsay Breukelman, is also a registered veterinary technician❓

Understanding the health and needs of a dog has been priceless in training pups. Especially since our pups are priceless to us. 💛

Meet Kane

Kane is a 3 year old Saint Bernard 🐶

His problem areas
▪️over excitement
▪️Addiction to attention
▪️Separation anxiety

Kane’s owners consulted with other trainers before me, and were told that he is aggressive and needs to be euthanized!
When I met Kane, he was muzzled for everyone’s safety, but I knew right away that he was not an aggressive dog - and his owner knew the same thing!
Kane’s addiction to attention is what resulted in him being a “bull in a China shop” and nipping to get your attention. His separation anxiety also played a part in that.
By his second or third visit, his muzzle was off and he was the sweetest dog!

I’m so glad his owners didn’t take the other trainers advice, and I’m so happy I got the opportunity to train him!

Kane still has a bit of a journey to get to where he needs to be, but he has come so far! His owners have put in so much work, and he’s trying his best to be the best dog!

Hey everyone! 👋🏻
I’ve had a pretty busy October with some vacations and lots of training clients! I’m so thankful for each and every one of my clients that trust me to teach them and their dogs. They also put a lot of trust in the process, and it makes me so happy to see the results! 😌

I want to highlight some pups that have completed training with me. I’d like everyone to meet Krueger, Lola, Rosie, Moose and Bear, Walter, Axel, and Brandy! 🐶

They are all so unique and did so well in training! They all made so much progress. My goal in training is to give dog owners the confidence and knowledge to continue training when I’m not there so they have an amazing companion! Each of these dogs have some pretty great owners that have put in so much work, so I know they are doing well!🐾

12/10/2021

🤩Russel and Annie🤩
These two are siblings and incredibly beautiful! During our session today they decided to curl up with each other! Russel makes the picture extra cute with his tongue hanging out! 🤪

02/10/2021

Rosie is the sweetest golden retriever! She quite literally smiles and squints her eyes when she greets you!
She did so well with her training and her brother absolutely adores her!

23/09/2021

Meet Moose and Bear 🐶

These handsome guys just finished the Standard Session Package!
We worked on over excitement, resource guarding, loose leash walking, and just better manners. They have both come so far and I’m so happy with their progress!!

Keep up the great work!! 💪🏻

15/07/2021

Amber and her humans! She finished up training a few weeks ago and is just the most adorable puppy. For a lab, she’s extremely calm actually! I know her family will continue to love her and keep up with the training. They’ve all come so far and I’m happy they allowed me to be a part of their journey!

29/06/2021

The spunkiest little Miniature Schnauzer you’ll meet! Max rocked it in his training and was great at looking cute at the same time!

If you’re looking to train your dog, shoot me a message! I have a few spots left in July!

24/06/2021

This is Pluto! He’s a very energetic boy, but also just so sweet! He absolutely rocked it in training and his parents worked so hard to get him to where he’s at right now! I know Pluto is going to be an amazing dog for his owners to enjoy!

17/06/2021

Another Focus First Dog Training Graduate!
This is Petey! Petey is the sweetest walker hound you’ll meet. He was having some trouble with walking well on a leash. He got scared of other dogs and was pretty unsure about them. We helped Petey work through this. There’s still some work to be done, but he’s come so far! His owner can now walk him without getting a sore arm, and walks are enjoyable!
Keep up the good work! 🥰

16/06/2021

Meet Luna
Luna is a very high energy pup with lots to love! She needed some help controlling her energy and finding better uses for it. She’s highly intelligent and loves to please, and boy did she please me and her owners! In 5 weeks, she made so much progress and loved showing off her skills when I was there!
It was such a pleasure working with her and her owners. It’s dogs like these that make me love my job! 🥰

11/05/2021

Meet Zeus, everyone! 🐶 He is being the best boy (and cutest!) in his “place stay”
His owners, Taylor and Jesse, have worked so hard with him and it’s paying off! 💪🏻 He’s completed his standard session package and I can’t wait to see the updates about him!

Message me if you want your dog to listen as good as Zeus!

04/05/2021

C**t did so well in his training session today!
He couldn’t walk past another dog, let alone a shepherd, without barking, howling, and lunging! Now look at him!
Keep up the good work C**t! 💕
