Say Hi to Chewie!

Chewie was at the county shelter on the euthanasia list when his new family adopted him. He’s a sweet sweet boy with tons of energy and drive without a proper outlet, very high prey drive, and was spiraling quickly in the shelter environment.

Chewie will be staying with us for several weeks as he learns some manners, how to play, how to focus and listen to commands, given a constructive outlet for his drive, and learn to be a well mannered good boy in society.

We’re excited to be a part of this boys journey, and can’t wait to watch his transformation!

Over the years, many of you have enjoyed the frequent appearance of Travis, our helper cat. He pretty much thought he was a dog, and helped countless dogs over the years learn to coexist, or at the very least to have self control around cats.

His personality and affection was unmatched by any cat we have ever seen. He was a special creature indeed.

This morning, we had to say goodbye to Travis as he crossed the 🌈 bridge. At 15, his aging body was beginning to fail him. 2 weeks he was aging but stable, and while his bloodwork was fairly normal, we discovered a tumor on his lungs, along with some other old kitty issues. We were advised to just monitor and continue doing what we were doing.

Over the weekend, Travis’s health began to deteriorate. We planned to bring him in Monday for some pain management protocols. By Sunday night/Monday morning, Travis had made it clear that he was tired, and he was ready.

Please keep Travis, and the TLC family in your thoughts. Drop a ❤️ if Travis has helped your pup over the years, and hug your fur babies extra tight tonight.

Travy Cat, you will be greatly missed 💔

Making sure to take Fu on trips to Tampa so he knows something other than country life. While all the pups love living in the country and the privilege of running in big fields every day, it’s important to make sure they get worked in other environments. Tampa can be an overwhelming and terrifying place if you’re not used to all the sights, sounds, and smells.

Fubar definitely saw some new things that weirded him out (a fire hydrant, a storm drain, people on bicycles), but we worked him through it, and he knows that he can come out of stressful situations on top.

Don’t shelter your pups from the world, teach them to face stress head on and come out top.

We love getting these updates!

Blake’s mom realized that she had been managing his reactivity to other dogs (you can’t bark/lunge/growl if you’re in “heel”), but if left to his own devices, or if she didn’t catch it in time, he would choose to show off his big feelings when other dogs are around.

Now that we’ve given him a proper outlet for his drive, and he has a clear understanding that lunging is not an acceptable behavior, he is a much calmer and happier boy when there are other pups around.

Good job, Blakey!

Who Is The Loyal Canine?

Kim Brewer and Lewis Collins have both had a passion for dogs their entire lives, and have worked with dogs in different aspects for many years. Then they came together, learned from each other, and formed TLC Dog Training.

Kim is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Sciences, and a certified Professional Dog Trainer from the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers in St. Louis, Missouri. For over 10 years, Kim has worked at boarding/daycare facilities, Humane Societies, and as a Bed Bug Detection Dog Trainer. After completing the Professionals and Masters programs at the Tom Rose School, she worked for a prominent training facility in St. Louis. In moving to Florida, she worked with her former classmate for over a year, training with his in home pet training company. Kim is currently competing with her dogs in AKC obedience and the sport of Schutzhund. She continues to add to her training toolbox by attending classes/seminars, and working with and learning from many of the best dog trainers and behavior specialists in the world.

Lewis has recently retired from the Air Force, where he was a Military Working Dog Trainer/Kennel Master for a majority of his career. While in the military, he acquired a variety of different certifications, specializing in scent detection and protection work. After several years and deployments as a K9 handler, he began training new dogs and handlers, working his way up to Kennel Master. During his last year in the military, he began training with Kim, and learning to apply his military dog training knowledge to the pet world. Upon retirement, he continued to work with Kim, and began training with their company. He is currently training his puppy, Ziva, with the goal of obedience competitions in her future. He continues to build on his training foundation by working with some of the top dog trainers/competitors in the world, and attending training seminars.

After working together for several months, Kim and Lewis decided to form a business of their own, focusing on personalized training to meet the needs of the individual dogs and their owners. From puppy imprinting, to behavior modification/problem solving, to advanced obedience, TLC Dog Training strives to maximize the relationship and communication between a human and their dog.
