Meet Rob and Kobe - They are both learning how to walk more calmly outside. We first learned Kobe’s foundational commands before we brought him outside such as “Here”, “Look at Me” and nose-to-hand targeting. After just a few sessions, Kobe has become a lot more attentive to Rob during their walks. We are now moving to more advanced training to help Kobe in high distraction areas. Cheer them on as they continue to learn more about each other and communicate better! #DogsHaveChoicesToo #DogsLivingTheirBestLives
A Pet Parent Story | Justine & Wendy
"I love her so much. I would die for her" - We all love our dogs and I strongly believe our dogs love us back too!
Meet Justine and Wendy 💖 They enrolled to the Adult Dog Parent Course to work on an unwanted barking habit. Every time Justine would walk her or wherever they would go, Wendy would always bark. But because of the Adult Parent Course, Justine understood that barking isn’t a problem rather Wendy trying to communicate how she feels in certain situations.
Justine and Wendy learned how to communicate better and worked together to increase tolerance and reinforce calm behavior around Wendy’s triggers. It just takes knowing the right motivators and really understanding the root cause of their behavior.
Because of positive training, Justine and Wendy has an even stronger bond and walking outside became a more fun bonding activity!
It's never too late for your adult dog! This can be your story too. We'd love to journey with you and your dog and help you help your dog become the best he can be!

We all know Beagles. They are very active with no energy to waste!
Meet Bailey and Stephen. Bailey used to be a dog that loves to destroy things even in a puppy-proofed home. But thank you to his pet parent Stephen who believed in positive training and transformation, they now come home to a clean home without Bailey destroying anything! Bailey has been a very good boy since then who makes better choices!
Dog training is not overnight and is definitely a process. But having a positive outlook and a motivated mindset for you and your dog makes the process bearable and most especially worth it— just like Stephen and Bailey. This is why we are here to go through the journey with you and achieve these long-term results and transformation!

Pet Parent Experience | Alberto & Pin
Our primary goal at The Pet Parent is for our clients to have long-term results. We teach them how dogs communicate and learn, and how they can teach them in the way they can understand even after their program with us ends.
Here is one of my favorite dad-dog duo: Alberto and Pin. I am working with them to overcome Pin's fears and build his confidence. Watch how they work through a game I call "Trail of Treats" to create new and positive associations with going out of the door. The game is designed to use a dog's natural way of interacting with the world which is through sniffing. The trails of treats towards the door allows Alberto to feed Pin in the presence of a trigger, reinforce the anticipatory behavior, and get Pin to easily disengage and move forward to the door. Cheer them on as they go through this journey with us! #DogsLivingTheirBestLives
There’s NO need for a slip/choke collar to teach your dog to walk on a leash. Vida and her family are of the most dedicated pet parents we’ve worked with. She reached out to us to help Cooper with impulse control with an open door and with his leash walking skills. Here is Cooper and his family members practicing his new skills on his FIRST day learning it!We started with the “Touch” command in a low-distraction environment then moved to the garage with a few distractions such as cats and cars. Cooper is a really smart dog and responded well with his first exercise! But nothing beats continuous practice and positive reinforcement! Great job guys! #DogsLivingTheirBestLives
Having multiple dogs is fun but it’s not an easy feat! Anj, a pet parent to three wonderful dogs - Scot, Kaja, and Marshall are one of our graduates. She needed help with potty training, Scot’s impulse control, Marshall’s jumping, and helping Kaja’s recall and leash walking skills. I’m so proud of how Anj was able to consistently and patiently train her dogs and also to appreciate the reality that many dog owners face - that sometimes we need to also give ourselves grace and kindness when teaching our dogs because as they are learning new things, we, as pet parents, are also learning and adjusting as well. Training dogs is never just about the dog. It’s not just about the dog’s behavior. It’s about both the human and dog’s relationship. This is why we make sure that we help dog owners by educating them their “side of the training” so that they can enjoy long-term results and a stronger bond with their dogs. #DogsLivingTheirBestLives
Roselle and Cooper are one of our graduates from the Adult Dog Parent Course. It’s so amazing to witness their progress after just 4 weeks of working together! To Roselle, you are incredible! Training your dog isn’t easy but you made it! Roselle has been Cooper’s number one supporter and Cooper would not have gone this far without your love, understanding, and patience. Thank you for sharing your story to the world and for inspiring more pet parents to take a step to building a world for #DogsLivingTheirBestLives 🐕🌏♥️
