Client Moose learning the ways of “place” while mom cooks dinner.
There is never any reason your dog needs to be in your kitchen or cooking area while you’re cooking. They can get under foot and if you have anything hot in your hands…well they become a tripping hazard and one or both of you end up hurt.
Nice work Moose and his owner putting in the time for training.

Keeping my boy sharp! Being without dogs the next few days means quality time with my personal dogs. We needed some stuff from Lowe’s so that was a great opportunity to get him out and about 🐾🖤#dogtraining #dogtrainer #australianshepherd #bordercollie #lowes#workyourdog #environmentalexposure #avonlakedogtrainer #femaleownedbusiness #femaleownedandoperated
BNT Minnie went home this past weekend 🥹 She moved past a lot of her issues during the time she was with me. She used to bark at all different kinds of things from barking dogs on tv to people coming through the door. She liked to control the walks she went on with her owners as well. I’m happy to say I see more walks in their future that will be a lot better and more enjoyable 🐾🖤

Minnie has the zoomies up at Redwood!
Door manners are a must if you own a dog! Pups shouldn’t see an open door as an invitation to run out. 1. It’s a safety issue 2. It’s rude to knock people over or push past them to get out the door first.
Nice job Minnie!

Minnie showing off her leash manners with dogs in the distance.
Minnie is two weeks in to her board and train. She struggles with reactivity when she sees other dogs on walks. She gets over aroused and wants to pull, bark and go say hello. The goal is for Minnie to maintain neutrality when passing dogs on walks. We happened to encounter these two dogs being walked ahead of us and used that to practice leash manners and remaining calm. So far she’s doing really 🐾🖤 #icandoitevenwhentheysaidicouldnt #avonlakedogtrainer #localdogtrainer #boardandtrain #femaleownedsmallbusiness #dogtraining #workyourdog
Standard boarding clients Kelani and Archie 🐾🖤 Kelani loves the Dog Pacer and gets right on each time she stays here. Archie is enjoying a bully stick on place ☺️ When clients board their dogs with me, they are in a home environment with someone “on site” essentially 24-7. They get lots of playtime with other dogs as well outings to the park, hikes, chew bones, access to a treadmill and being around a family who loves each dog as our own. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #standardboarding #chocolatelab #shepski #femaleownedsmallbusiness #icandoitevenwhentheysaidicouldnt #avonlakedogtrainer #localdogtrainer
Frankie goes home today!
Frankie holding a downstay in this environment was next to impossible when he arrived four weeks ago. Since then he’s learned to tolerate everyday things that spook him. He has learned to leave things alone in the house that are not his. He loves to walk and go places now especially since he’s learned that the outside world isn’t out to get him and that are some super nice things that happen outside. He recovers a little better now after getting scared of something or someone. He’s made so much progress here and I’m so proud of him!

My best boy 🖤🐾
I hear from folks “I wish my dog can be as obedient as yours!” To that I say “your dog is a reflection of you.” This doesn’t have to be a pipe dream for those who want to have dogs that listen. This was not achieved overnight or even in a few months. If you want to get your dog into dog sports, be ready to dedicate lots of time to it. If you want your dog trained to a measurable standard, that takes time too.
There were times I wanted to say the hell with it and that was usually when he was still tied to my bike and learning the “stop”, “left” and “right”. I’ve been pulled off my bike when Davis was working through his reactivity to other dogs he saw. We have been chased by off leash dogs and I’ve crashed into a fence line and a telephone pole once…but we kept going.
Now, I’m not saying this is a thing you have to do with your dog. This is my way of getting his physical needs met. If you want that long down stay and you’re moving away from your dog, you must practice long downstays at home and then in different environments with varying levels of distractions. You start close to the dog and then build distance. Downstays help a dog practice impulse control. Getting them to think instead of act all the time. Watching a dog use their noodle is one of my favorite things about this job 😁
A dog that listens to you isn’t completely out of reach. You get out what you put into your dog.
From being absolutely terrified of the vacuum to being on place and existing while I run it. 🙌🏼 🐾🖤
Picking up my kiddo from school means a perfect time to work on some down stays around distractions. No way could Frankie do this a couple weeks ago. So much progress has been made with this sweet boy 🥹 #dogtrainer #dogtraining #femaleownedsmallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #avonlakedogtrainer #supportfemaleownedbusinesses
