My Girl Friday - Dog Training

10/11/2024

So.....I hate to ask but if you could vote for My Girl Friday - Dog Training (and me), that would be amazing! I had some issues with Google not verifying my business (please don't ask me about it now, the trauma is just starting to subside) and because of that, I had to create a new business page. I used to be at the top of the list when people googled "positive dog trainers near me" and now I'm not so....

Could ya vote for me? 😁 I really would appreciate your vote! 🤗

This is Maximum. He loves to rip things. And I totally let him! Wanna know why? ⬇️

He tears off legs, ears and arms and then pulls most if not all of the stuffing out. Until he finds the squeaker....

And then he looks at me....

And then I say "wanna do a trade?" and he gets up, squeaker in his mouth and trots off to the kitchen.

He goes straight to the treat cupboard (yes, I have a treat cupboard for my dogs....I also have one for us humans) 😁 and waits for me, tail and butt wagging furiously!

I get whatever treat is of equal or higher value and he opens his mouth, essentially spits out the squeaker and he gets his treat.

I have never had to take something out of his mouth. It's never been a game of chase. It's never been a battle or an argument. He knows that when he hears the word "trade" that something even better than what he has in his mouth is coming!

Wanna know how? Gimme a ❤️ in the comments and I'll send you the steps!

I have a confession...

I'm addicted...

To fresh air.
To coffee.
To overnight oats.
To my dogs.
To inhaling deeply and exhaling even more deeply.

I wish you a wonderful day, friend and remember..

Let them do doggie things!!

Hey there, friend! I hope you're having a FAB day?!?! 🌞

In case you haven't heard, I have an educational branch of my business called "Be Your Dog's Superhuman". The first BIG thing that's happening with that is....

Hey my Friends! If you get a request from me to add you as a friend.....CLEARLY since we ARE friends, I wouldn't be asking so....

Please don't accept any new friend requests from me (until I can change my password and up my security a wee bit more). :)

Thanks!

Hi all!
I've created a new training program where I do all the heavy lifting and you get a puppy that is set up for success and a life of learning! If you or someone you know doesn't have the time, energy or desire to "train" their dog, please do check out my Day Training - Puppies! program!
Thanks for checking it out and feel free to share far and wide! :)

In this program, I will teach your pup some essential behaviours and skills that they need to learn in order to thrive in our world. They'll learn some foundational behaviours (attention, touch, wait, leave it, trade, recall and loose leash walking) as well as some life skills (how to just be a dog,...

Hi all!
Do you have a new puppy that you want to help learn about our world? Do they need to learn some things that will help YOU to not lose your mind? If you need someone to help bridge the communication gap between what your dog needs and what you want, please do reach out!

This three session package will have your puppy on their best behaviour in no time...well, in three hours, actually. I'll teach your puppy to focus on you (which is important for everything going forward), to sit, to touch your hand, to "leave it" and to "drop it", and to "stand". I'll also help you...
