Longsnouts Dog Training

Longsnouts Dog Training We would love for all dogs to be as joyful as Sir Winston Longsnoutl!

[We're named for a member of the Longsnout canine clan, but shortsnouts are welcome, too!]

In December of 2013, we - randomly, yet driven by synchronicity - had the opportunity to foster a purebred Black & Tan Coonhound found as a stray on the streets of southeast Detroit. He was taken under the wing of American Black & Tan Coonhound Rescue, his stay with us was coordinated via SE Michigan's resc

ue network, and he was named Sir Winston Longsnout. Despite being dumped, ridden with worms, and ridiculously skinny, the 7-9 month old male was the most naturally joyful animal ever encountered and our week with him was a whirlwind of tailwags, dog smiles, romps in the snowy backyard, and cuddles. We offer relationship-building tools via reward-based training in the form of: training walks, runs of all lengths, 1:1 training sessions, and small group training classes (coming in 2015!). It will be an honor to partner with you and your canine(s) to help bring that joy to your relationship.

Dougal + his ridiculous self.

In case you’ve ever wondered why I don’t often redirect Dougal for jumping on me: it was his SAR indication that he’d found the subject.

Did he take to an epic level? Yes.
Would I have preferred something civil akin to a gentle leg boop or even a bark? YES.
Did he choose this? Yes.

I can tell he’s feeling better in the hips and back because he’s tried a much smaller version of this several times. Which I love.

I also want him to live forever, so I gently discourage it. Which breaks my heart a little bit every time.

You guys!! YOU GUYYYYYYYS!!!!

I met Delores of fame waaaay back in the day when we were both affiliated with the (now defunct) Humane Society of Livingston County.

I also met Dougal.

And this absolute gem is the LITERAL MOMENT I realized I was likely bringing home a new puppy partner. Not kidding. THE MOMENT.

The litter had just come out of quarantine and we were assessing them…I mean PLAYING WITH THEM. This massive 12ish week old puppy made it clear we were gonna do things.

If I’d known then how *much* he’d change my world, how magic our relationship would be, and how perfect he would become…there’d have been no questions.

In that moment I was really f*cking shocked at the possibility of having a puppy in my life. (Note: I avoided puppies at that time in my life. 🤣🤣🤣) I am beyond grateful that Delores pinged this my way.

Gotta go kiss a Doogs. 🥹💖🥹💖🥹

April is Canine Fitness month!

To celebrate bodies moving, we'll be posting different ways for our dogs to incorporate fitness or parkour games into their daily lives. Like "regular" training, even a couple minutes can make an ENORMOUS difference.

Dog Nerd Bookclub!

Here's our next book! I've been eyeing this for a while, so when DogWise sent out their Flash Friday sale and it was "Dogs Are From Neptune" by the ever-wonderful Jean Donaldson...well, let's just say I took it to be a sign.

It's on sale today on the Dogwise website for less than $9. And I'm sure it'll be a great read!

https://www.dogwise.com/dogs-are-from-neptune-2nd-edition/?aff=371

We'll convene in May to discuss!

, March is bringing us MOAR daylight, BETTER temps, and the return of Confident Puppy class!

Our class sizes are intentionally small so no one is overwhelmed! We’re all about helping humans and their furry companions build a strong partnership, with a focus on confidence, body awareness, and—of course—manners. These are essential skills for a lifetime of fun and adventure together!

Plus, we’re excited to introduce our Confident Puppy Quick Start option for those who need help RIGHT NOW. These sessions are slightly different from our regular private sessions, offering targeted solutions for immediate challenges. Whether you’re looking for a full class experience or quick guidance, we’ve got you covered!

Workout Wednesday!

Cilla wanted a moment. You may remember we’ve been working on her hind foot placement to help create better posture, stronger abs, and help elongate her back.

While the 2nd photo is slightly exaggerated posture, what I *love* is that her feet fall into a more aligned position far more frequently than not. Her back is leveling out, even if it may not be perfectly flat because of the Shepherd slope.

She moves more fluidly.
Her shoulders are getting stronger to balance out her thighs.
She has the best sphinx down of all my dogs!

Simple, effective exercises, with minimal equipment (thus far).

Sidebar: I’m excited for more daylight and milder temps so we can work outside!

Your annual reminder to *take all the photos*! Find photographers with styles you like and schedule time for portraits. You don’t even have to be in them…but I recommend that you are.

Having photos of my dogs, especially now that some of them are gone, has helped me with my grief.
