Meet Draco, the two year-old male Doberman Pinscher, who was surrendered to me just in time for the Holidays in November.Draco is a goofy, fun-loving Doberman. He loves his people, and he loves to be active so Draco will fit Best in a home that is regularly active throughout the week and loves to spend evenings curled up on the couch. Draco knows all of his basic commands is potty, trained leash, trained, and crate trained. He is good with new people and new dogs but is to goofy for homes with young children. Older children do well with him and everyone loves his sweet chin resting cuddles. As much as we love this guy, it’s time for him to find his new home.Please tag people in this post who may be able to help us find the right match for him and as always, a share is greatly appreciated.

Behavioral Rehab/Modification is not for the faint of heart. ❤️‍🩹Those who can, don’t always do when it comes to this specialty. It takes a lot of patience, hard work and it can be emotionally all-consuming; it’s not glamorous or fast-paced. It’s the mundane, it’s reassurance, it’s practicing extra hard to attain everyone else’s status quo. But here’s the thing working with these cases teaches me a little bit more about patience, kindness, and understanding. So, even though it’s tough, it’s also rewarding to discover a piece of myself along their journey in recovery. 🐶

I mean…it’s perfect 😂

Todays enrichment activity is one of my favorites. It’s simple and quick to put together and can be set up for all experience levels. What is your favorite “simple” enrichment game?

Milo‘s first session, an introduction to leash pressure and his obedience, skills sit and come. Milo is not very food motivated at this time so we are not using food and treats, instead we are working with leash pressure and rewarding events with pets and praise.

Meet our newest Trainee, Milo. Milo is a 1.5 year old Golden Retriever who has been exhibiting some not so Golden traits: •Unfocused •Whiny/ Anxious •Puller •Jumper •Redirecting onto Leash •Human Reactive •Stealer of all the Things •Starting to redirect onto housemate (Shetland Sheepdog) •Inability to Settle •FOMO This boy will be learning the ways of calm and patience while in training with us on top of his other skills. Let’s get to work!

Kane’s adventures yesterday! Part 2/2 We started off with lunch on the patio @hubgrill . We showed up right before the lunch rush so Kane had a moment to settle in before all of the environmentals hit. We finished our adventure with a trip to the At Home store and he jumped up to say hi to the cashier over the counter and she even pet him! (All happened in one motion before I could intercept) Not what we were going for but it was a good moment nonetheless. I am very proud of how far this young man has co

Gemmie went home yesterday and I feel like a lucky one getting to know her. Gemmie returned home well mannered and with reliable obedience. Her confidence and skills will continue to grow as she settles in and explores her new world.

Malinois corrects Doberman

Correction is normal amongst dogs when things get out of hand. Fair correction and redirection/ reactivity are two completely different things. Arlo had plowed into Karma pretty rough 2 other times this morning, neither did he get corrected for, she just recovered and moved on. This was the 3rd time he decided, you can see when he does, to plow into her, he has about 25lbs on Karma so when he hits it hurts and knocks her over. She issued one very fair and firm correction then they both stepped away. Arlo didn’t run into her space again except when everyone decided to hunt together and that’s completely acceptable. This is much different from a dog redirecting their frustration onto another dog or even having reactivity issues. At no point does Karma go to far, at no point was her intent confrontation, only creating a clear boundary when it comes to being body slammed by an Arlo Truck.

We learned a lot this weekend, so excited to keep moving forward using it to progress myself and others.

Boring for some, informative for others. This is Felix, and this is what a morning looks like between us. I made 1 cut to take out the part where I walked away with the “vet” kit, that was of no value to you guys. Please ask away on questions. Felix submissive pees a lot so I want him to feel as free as he can so I let him completely off leash in a fenced in part of my yard. I monitor him from afar so he can go potty then after he’s had a moment I come in with the “vet” kit. Felix has very sensitive skin and a constant rash on his neck and chest, because of this we are doing a few things like changing his food to an allergen friendly food and I am keeping his neck as comfortable as I can including collar free time as much as possible (hence the slip lead) and daily cleaning and “medicating” the chest.

Our First Legal Threat 2023

Our name will be changing but the mission will stay the same. A company in Texas holds a trademark for part of my name and as a result I need to change mine or I’ll be infringing upon it. I reviewed everything with lawyers to ensure I wasn’t being scammed and they assured me I needed to make haste changing the name 😂. I did negotiate with the owner who was very reasonable and offered a few ways for us to partner together so I could keep the name, but this came at a price. I would have to raise rates substantially and I would not have the same freedoms I do currently. This is not my vision for United Canine Services LLC, now By The Dog LLC Training & Rehabilitation. My vision, the goal I have, is to not only help dogs and their owners but to also be a resource for our community. In the world of dogs there are so many mixed messages and conflicting teachings, the misinformation around rearing, nutrition and husbandry alone confuses even me when I do a Google search. If I were you, I’d be lost too! So here we are, rebranding and pushing forward, with just as much passion and drive to do good as I can.
