Congratulations, Hiya! 🩷🎓

Hiya and her owners have been working extensively over the last month (in the dreary English weather) on her reactivity issues. With what started as lots of discomfort around strangers that would turn into an explosion of barking, we’ve been able to build up Hiya’s confidence to walk down a busy side walk without issue. I’m so proud of her progress, and I know daily walks are going to get better and better!

And that’s a wrap for UK Clients in 2024! Thank you to everyone for your continued support. 🙌🏻

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🦃🍁

If you plan on sharing dinner with your pups, be mindful of what they can and can’t eat. Check out this infographic from DailyPaws for what’s safe this holiday season ⬇️ For any concerns, please call your veterinarian.

Have a safe and happy holiday. I’m so thankful for all of you! 🤎🧡💛❤️

💜

No one is the same as you. No dog is the same as your dog. No one is walking the same path as you, never has and never will.
You can’t be behind and you can’t be in front, because you are exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Keep your pups safe in the summer heat! ☀️ Outdoor temperatures +/- 80°F is when dogs may start to experience these issues!

WEEBIE 🖤 the 4 month old Dachshund and his owner joined me for the Puppy Foundations program last week 🐾

Setting your puppy up for success when they’re young will help create a happy, healthy, and well-adjusted dog. I’m so excited to watch this sweet pup grow!

Be prepared for the upcoming holiday! 🎆

The Fourth of July is under 3 weeks away! 🇺🇸 Here are some safety tips to help your pets during the holiday celebrations. 💥

🐾 Call your veterinarian for prescribed medication ASAP if your pet is extremely anxious from fireworks.
🐾 Be sure your pet has a correctly fitted collar with an ID tag with updated contact information.
🐾 Keep your pets leashed and supervised while outdoors. Scared animals can and will find ways to escape!
🐾 Have a recent, clear, and front-facing photo of your pet to post on social media pages if they escape.
🐾 Confine your pets to a safe space in the evenings (crate or room). Play music or have a fan running to help block sounds.
🐾 Keep your pets busy with toys or enrichment activities to distract them from noises outdoors.

‼️ More pets go missing over Fourth of July weekend than any other time of the year ‼️
Keep your pets safe and enjoy your holiday celebrations!

Just wanted to share some exciting news 🎉🥳

Today, I submitted my application to renew my CPDT-KA certification with the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. 🙌🏻 My test this fall is 200 questions on knowledge and skills in ethology, learning theory, dog training technique, and instruction.

Each and every client I’ve worked with in the tri-base area in the last two years has helped me surpass the minimum eligibility requirement of 300 dog training hours. So THANK YOU for being wonderful, dedicated clients! ☺️

ANGEL 🩵 the 8 year old Lab Mix is currently enrolled in the Managing Reactivity program. 🐾

Our goals are to manage walks and make them more fun for all involved, and to help build this sweet girl’s confidence to live a happy, healthy life. I’m looking forward to our next few lessons!

Congratulations, Jager ❤️🎓

Jager has completed the Managing Reactivity program. 🐾 This big dude has made so much progress over the last month! Overall, he’s less stressed, redirects well, and recovers quickly. That’s a win in my book. ✅

Keep up the great work!!

Congratulations, Pancake 💛🎓

We had our last lesson today in the Bury St Edmunds city centre. This sweet girl has gained SO much confidence and is doing an excellent job ignoring challenging distractions…people, dogs, birds…Before, Pancake was lunging toward and jumping on everyone to say hello, now she’s very polite and can nicely walk by. Great job!!

My schedule is closed for the next two weeks due to family visiting 🎉 I look forward to resuming lessons with my remaining clients in June. 🐾

Enjoy your time off - practice with your dogs! 😉

Congratulations, Whiskey 🎓🧡

Whiskey has officially completed the Walk & Train program and I’m amazed by his progress! He no longer pulls you over chasing after birds and squirrels, and is able to walk calmly through the “forested” areas and not whine from excitement. Great job, kiddo!

Check out a quick before and after video below ⬇️

Congratulations, Hagrid! 🎓🤍

This big pup has completed the Obedience Training program and has learned all of his basic commands. As he continues to grow (in size 😵‍💫) and maturity, having this obedience foundation will help him navigate the world much more easily! Hagrid is going to do great things!

WALLY 💚 the 2 year old Labradoodle is BACK for more training! 🤩

As a 2023 Managing Reactivity program graduate, Wally and his owners are back for additional lessons to keep his obedience skills sharp, improve his recall around distractions, and to continue decreasing his excitement around other dogs. A happy face like this makes training fun! 🐾

Rain 🌧️ or shine ☀️, big pups practice good behavior!
