Poppins showing off her dance moves we promised!
Colt during the blow drying portion of his grooming was so precious, I’m so impressed and loved getting to give him such a positive first time experience 🙌🏼
Test numbers 2 & 3 for Virtual Home Manners class is Sit and Down on command with no lure! That does not mean no hand signal so it’s possible to accomplish these items in many ways, here are 3 dogs with versatile command signals!
#8 on the AKC Virtual Manners test is to demonstrate the relationship you have with your dog.. an option to use can be a trick you taught the dog. Waya is my youngest and he recently is learning about agility with me, here he is demonstrating our “magic” ❤️ some other options are: Hide and Seek, Scent Game or Playing with a toy!
Waya had a blast and picked out a new toy during his first time visit to Pet Supplies Plus - Green Bay, WI He was so well behaved and made me excited to continue with more outings. During our outings I’d love for anyone that’s interested to join us in training with the public, we love friends! I will post some dates and locations so keep an eye out if you are interested in gaining more exposure with a professional trainer at your side!
That burp… here’s a video showing my own boy being a bit slow to respond when I’m asking for his attention. He obviously was on his own agenda ✌🏼
Heel through tempting distractions takes a ton of practice! I was so proud of Morello when we accomplished this, here’s a video from 2019 when he was completing his public access training
Rookie the Great Dane pup is learning “Place” his first day at it and he is a fast learner! I’m excited to continue progressing with his commands!
The cold nights of begging and bribing Andy to come inside are in the past! So proud to share this accomplishment my clients worked so hard to achieve, and just in time for this weather changing to freezing 🥶 🐶
Colder weather means Andy the Bernese Mountain Dog LOVES being outside no matter what his people say… unless it’s a large bone then it may be worth it… but that’s not ok, watch for an update on his progression as we change his “hell no” to a “hell yes!”
Waya learned a new trick this weekend, he loves trying new things!
Our group class tonight worked on walking by another dog and ignoring it! The hard work is showing off, way to go!!

Last day of Day School for the boys was spent outside for extra distraction and good ole fresh air!! Here’s a short clip of our enjoyable time together 🩵
In preparation of the summertime Holidays I will be holding a Desensitization class!
Please message me to get your dog on my schedule, this is a limited time offer and it’s crucial that dogs learn about big noises, chaotic crowds, exciting events and that we as leaders know the correct way to help our specific dog!
More pets run away on 4th of July weekend than any other weekend throughout the year. Animal control officials around the country experience a 30-60% increase in lost pets between July 4 and July 6.
Welcome to Day School Q and Luke! I’m looking forward to the next 4 weeks of watching these little minds grows, they are already so smart so this is going to be fun 🤩

Just a little Day School clip from today, Maya and Ziva are excelling together. It’s hard when you’ve got two youngsters that would rather play than train so this program has a lot of focus on them existing while accomplishing tasks, I played a little doggie calm music and it helped so much to gain more focus!
I have Mondays available for Day School starting May 15th and that’s a 4 week program, get on my list as it’s filling fast!
Maya and Ziva attended my very first Day School program today! I had such a blast working on communication with them, I love learning new things from each and every dog! 💞
I’m looking forward to many more days like today!
