Do It For the Dogs

Halo says “Hey my mom has some news!”

I have big news! *cue party poppers*
Starting Monday 7/22/24 I will be a part time dog trainer at Marley’s Day Out Dog Training in Owasso, Ok. As most of you probably know my dream is to be a professional dog trainer and luckily I have this amazing opportunity to work with Heather at Marley’s. I am ecstatic to further my knowledge and experience with dogs and help others with their pets. I will eventually move up to full time so unfortunately I will no longer be taking new clients. I’m grateful for my clients that have stuck around or continued to share my name for the last few years and am forever thankful. I’m more than happy to give people recommendations for other sitters. Give your fur babies loves and kisses for me❤️

Did Santa bring a new furry friend for Christmas this year? How exciting! Getting a new pet can be very challenging as well if you don’t start training quick. Need help? No worries I can help set you and your new furry family member up for success! Keep reading for for information on training options and pricing.

Everything will begin with a meeting at the client's home to assess what our plan of action will be. Including discussing the history of the dog, what hopes are for after training and will use part of this time to see how the client trains and interacts with the dog. We will talk about the importance of working with the dog one on one and not only paying me to train them. It is also important to make sure you’re consistent in training in order to have a long term well trained doggo. I provide all of the training equipment for when I am training and will happily share links to where I get everything I use.

Option One- At my home training:
When having a session at my house depending on what our plan is for training the dog would stay with me for a minimum of 4 hours. In this time we would begin with basic training, we would train inside and outside in the backyard and depending on the dog we would leash walk in the neighborhood. I would then bring the dog inside, crate for a nap to give them time to decompress and give an enrichment treat. After they have a break I would then do another training session with them. I can pick up and drop off but it will increase the price.

Option Two- At your home:
Training sessions would be cut in half by only doing one round of training instead of two but will need gas reimbursement. In order to prevent distraction to the dog I would need privacy when training, meaning just the client, dog and me. When the home is full of people or distractions, we first train them away from the distractions so they can know how to act in situations where there’s lots going on.

Option Three- At your home just trainer and dog:
For clients I’ve been working with I offer session with just me and the dog. For instance let say we’ve been working together for a few weeks and you’re out busy all day but want your dog tired when you get home or just don’t have the energy to do any training. I can go over to the home and work one on one with the pet. I only offer this once I’ve worked with the client and they know how to continue training when alone. Any time I am alone and working with your dog I will send videos on what we are working on.

Pricing-
Starting will be $25 an hour in your home with gas reimbursement so you could expect it to be about $35-$40 depending on how far away you live from me for one in home session. Let me clarify that this is the minimum, depending on what our course of action is will determine the final price. My prices are more cheaper than other trainers you’ll find because I don’t have the 10+ years of experience and don’t feel comfortable charging the same as they would. That does not mean I don’t know what I’m doing!

Dog training is a passion of mine and I really want to seriously pursue more but need people to give me a chance! I would also love for the client to send videos of them working on training with their dog just to make sure that we are getting some progress and you can get your money's worth. Please message or text me for any questions or booking requests!

Got some one on one time with miss Nova this week. I started working with Nova at the end of November and we are starting to see some improvements! With her we are mainly working on her leash manners and door boundaries but also working on overall obedience. Message me for any questions on training!🐾

It’s important for your dog to be crate trained for many reasons! Halo and Setti willingly go into their crate and will lay down by choice because they enjoy laying in there. It’s not cruel to crate your pet! It’s safer for them and for you. As much as we want to believe our dogs are the best behaving doggos out there, it’s false! They are still animals and have a major language barrier between us and them. Sometimes it is absolutely necessary to crate them in situations where you can’t have them out anywhere. For example Halo can be reactive in high energy environments so when I have people over I sometimes will have to crate him but he is fine with it and knows it’s a temporary thing and will just lay down and relax. Even if you don’t have a reactive dog but a destructive one and every time you leave they tear something up or misbehave at night. Crates are the way to go! Crate training WILL take TIME but you must be patient and go at the pace your dog needs in order for them to succeed! Please message me or fill out the google form for any crate training services!

Since we had to say good bye to Honey last winter I haven’t posted at all. I’ve taken this time to heal and start a new chapter.
My new chapter begins with these dummies. Aria (left) is a border collie Great Pyrenees mix and about a year and half. Halo (right) is a white German shepherd. They are the absolute light of my life and help me get out of bed in the morning even if it is because Halo needs to p**p.
I’ve decided I am going to get more serious about dog training but will continue to do my current dog sitting which includes overnight and day dog sitting! Feel free to message me with any questions or booking requests!

Incase anyone wants to get dog stuff but don’t know what to get. I’m bored so I put together a list of things that I either own or have used so they work at least decently if used correctly. Enjoy
