Mr Fetcher is going home today!
He just graduated our Board and train program and I know his family will be excited to see him!
Fetcher came to us because like most dogs he is large and rambunctious. He would jump on people, he was reactive to other dogs and people and struggled with anxiety.
If this sounds familiar send me a dm and let’s see how we can help you. 🐕

Say Hello to Bennie the Poodle 🐩. Bennie is here for our Board and Train program. He came to us because he struggled w/ reactivity to people/dogs, pulling on the leash, jumping on guests and chewing things he shouldn’t. During our Board and Train we focus on training that’s tailored to areas your dog struggles in. If this is something you’re interested in DM us to chat.

Meet Spike and Ash. Just a couple of brothers that needed some extra training. Spike and Ash had gone through a basic puppy class when they were younger but their owners wanted to focus on more advanced behaviors. Our board and trains are currently booking into May so reach out to reserve your spot.

Car crashes are not just potentially deadly for humans but for your dogs as well. When traveling your dog should be kenneled but at the minimum harnessed and buckled in.

Allow me to introduce you to Cowboy the cattle dog 🤠
Cowboy is here because of aggressive behaviors. He’s bitten several people and even caused someone to get stitches. Were focusing on positive associations with people but also recognizing not every dog needs/wants to be pet. Although dogs are cute it’s important to recognize their body language when they’re “telling” you they don’t want to be pet. Correcting this behavior is important but what is more important is showing him he doesn’t “need” to bite to create space but you as the owner willl advocate for him and not force him into an uncomfortable position.

I never had a dog growing up and with my crazy schedule in the military I couldnt make the commitment to get one. Shortly after getting married we passed a cardboard sign saying “AKC German Shepherd puppies so we called and went to pick one up ( I wouldn’t recommend getting a dog from a random breeder like that but here we are 😂).
Phoenix has taught me so much. He’s not the perfect dog but he was the perfect dog for me and my family. He’s the goofiest bestest boy and today he’s 5 years old. Happy birthday Phoenix!

Meet Jade!
She’s here for our board and train program. She came to us because her owner struggles with Jades’ strength and rambunctiousness.
It’s really important for you to have a calm dog in and outside the home.
So today we took her to Armature Works! It’s a perfect spot to work with distractions and being calm in public! 🥳

Meet Westley 🐕 Westley is in our Board and Train program. He came to us because of fear and reactivity. He’s a big dog that would pull the owners and bark at other dogs. It got so bad that his owners weren’t able to take him out in public because they were afraid how he would react.
After two weeks in our program, Westley is going home 🎉 We’re so proud of how far he’s come! He enjoys going out, playing and exploring the world! Not only is it enjoyable for him but his owners will also love it! We’re gonna miss him!
Now booking for October, send us a message if you want to experience a better life with your pet.

Walking on a leash is one of the most common things people want to work on with their dogs. It’s a great way to implement structure with your dog while doing something you do every day. The key is consistency and showing your dog what you want them to do.

If your dog hates the rain and easy thing to do is to take them outside when it’s raining and just relax. You can go for a walk or you can just stand but show them that water isn’t scary. They’re not gonna melt. Take some treats or their favorite toy if you can but just existing in the rain is a great training session#dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #tampa #tampafl #tampadog #tampadogs
Your dogs should have water frequently. I carry 2 bottles of water with me every where I go. You need to know if where you’re going has water and even then you should still bring water just in case #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #tampa #tampafl #tampadog #tampadogs

DAY 30 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ Today is the last day of the run your dog challenge. It was so cool to push myself to come up with 30 running themed tips for dog training. I hope you enjoyed it.Stay tuned for more dog training content#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
Properly socializing your dog actually means taking them places and showing them the world not letting them meet every dog they see. Take every opportunity to show your dog something new #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 29 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ If your dog got loose how would you get them back?Every dog should have some form of identification We love our dogs and would hate for them to get lost and not be able to find them. There’s several options you can choose. I’d tags, Apple AirTags and @fidog collars are great choices#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
My dog had diarrhea yesterday. I always keep bone broth and pumpkin on hand for situations like this to help my dogs get over their episodes. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 28 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ I tend to not trust people especially with dogs. I have no idea what their dog is like and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “He’s Friendly!!”No thanks I’m not interested. I teach people to not let their dogs interact with random dogs and part of that is managing your dogs placement and what position they’re in#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
Dogs are naturally fearful of things And that’s ok. It’s up to us to help them overcome their fear.Take some time to help your dog whenever you see they’re scared 😱 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 27 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ Your dog should not be eating stuff that you don’t give him permission to. Dogs tend to not be the wisest at choosing a snack and some tend to eat poop or socks or AirPods. The leave it command is some that you say as a preventative but also need to follow through and not allow them to pick something up#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
DAY 26 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ If you have a multiple dog household you should spend time with each dog individually.This doesn’t have to be every day but it should be part of your schedule. Dogs live a short life and it’s up to us to make the most with them#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
DAY 25 Run Your Dog Challenge 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ Does your dog yank you around? Do you get nervous seeing a squirrel or another dog and wonder how your dog is going to react?These are not behaviors that you can just hope to go away. They HAVE to be dealt with. It takes 0 seconds and little effort for your dog to react and cause you to fall on the ground.If you struggle in this area reach out a local dog trainer. They’d be happy to help you#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
Vernon Dog Training has a new addition im excited to share with you! We’ve had him for a few weeks and love him already! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 23 Run Your Dog Challenge Running in Florida is HOT. Make sure you’re staying out of the sun whenever you can and make sure you wear your hat 🧢 😂#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
Every moment with your dog is a training opportunity. Your dog is taking in everything and analyzing the results. So if your dog is fearful of a situation and they try to run away and you let them, you’ve just taught them they are successful in running from their problems. It’s up to you as the owner to recognize your dogs fear and help them overcome it.#dogtraining #dogtrainer #tampadogtrainer #tampadogtraining #vernondogtraining #tampadog #tampadogs
DAY 22 Run Your Dog Challenge Being able to pick up your dog is a goal you should have starting the day you get your dog. Now you should NOT try this with every dog especially if you don’t know the dog very well. Start slow with this but picking up your dog can be crucial in many ways. Loading your dog into a vehicle, carrying them over an obstacle or carrying them while they’re injured. Start slow and reward often#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
DAY 20 Run Your Dog Challenge I walked outside yesterday with my dogs and there were 4 wild hogs 🐗. I do NOT want my dog being reactive and causing the hogs to chase us😂. I also want to make sure that if my dog were to chase them that I can call them off and have them come back to me#Vernondogtrainingrun #VDT30daychallenge #tampadogtrainer #stpetersburgflorida #tampaflorida #tampadog
DAY 19 Run Your Dog Challenge Do you know if your dog is having a heat related injury?1. Excessive panting or difficulty breathing. If your dog is panting constantly or faster than normal (hyperventilation), they could be overheated. Dogs with flat faces like pugs are more susceptible to heat exhaustion because they cannot pant as efficiently.2. Dehydration. Signs of dehydration include dry nose, visible tiredness, excessive panting, and sunken eyes.3. Excessive drooling. Keep an eye out for lots of drool, or drool that is thicker and stickier than usual.4. Fever. If your dog’s nose is dry and hot instead of wet and cool, they could have a fever. A body temperature above 103°F is considered abnormal.5. Bright red, gray, purple, or bluish gums. If your dog’s gums are a different color than normal, they could be dehydrated.6. Lack of urine. If your pet has trouble producing urine, they could be dehydrated or overheated.7. Rapid pulse. The easiest way to take your dog’s pulse is to place your hand on their chest near their front elbow joint. If their pulse seems elevated, they could be overheated. (Normal pulse rate depends on the size of your dog—bigger dogs tend to have slower pulses, while small dogs and puppies have very quick pulses.)8. Muscle tremors. If your dog is shivering or shaking regardless of outside temperature, it may be caused by heat exhaustion.9. Lethargy or weakness. Overheating can cause dogs to nap more than normal or having trouble standing up or walking.10. Vomiting or diarrhea. Abnormally soft stool, or stool with blood in it, is a big warning sign for heat exhaustion.11. Dizziness. If your dog seems to have trouble walking in a straight line or keeps bumping into furniture, they might be lightheaded from dehydration or heat exhaustion.
