Goodbye November, Hello December 👋🏻

Dogs, family, and food pretty much sums up November.

Dogs have always been and will always be a part of my life. They're not going anywhere.

I try, however, to do things without dogs sometimes. I actually went to a family Thanksgiving and didn't bring dogs! Shocking, right?

I also try to find hobbies that don't include dogs. Cooking and working out are both things that I do for myself. It's the only time I can shut off and not think about the many dogs that I see every day.

Don't get me wrong, training dogs is so much fun, and I love it. But going through training with your dog can also bring up a lot of other emotions, and it can be physically tiring as well. It's important that we find time to do things just for us simply because we like to do them.

And for me, that's cooking and moving my body. What about you? What's something you do simply because you enjoy it?

Trying to take pictures of moments that make me happy. No surprise that most of them include dogs 🖤🖤🖤

And they love every second of it 🥰

Calm observation is definitely something that we should practice with our dogs! Being able to process the world calmly is super important and makes life so much easier for both you and your dog.

If you want a patio dog, do this.
If you want a dog that's calm when people come over, do this.
If you want a dog that doesn't react on walks, do this.
If you want a dog that you can easily take out in public, do this.

I promise it will pay off and help your dog have a calm, neutral mind.

Happy Training!

Lunch breaks are quiet and peaceful. And I love every second of it 🖤

Happy Halloween!! 🎃

I hope it's wonderfully spooky!! ☠️

Also, remember that time I decided I'd make and sell dog bandanas, and it lasted all of 5 minutes. Good times. 🤣

Did your dog dress up this year? I wanna know all the costumes!

10/26/2024

Don't ask me how I got here because I literally have no clue. 😁

I've always been someone who gets stuck in the planning stage. I like to make sure things are perfect in theory before actually moving forward with an idea. Downside of that is that nothing actually gets done lol

So, in this case. I planned absolutely nothing. I went with my gut and decided I'd figure it out, and I went, and here we are. I needed more space for my day trains, so a van it is!

Is it perfect? No. It needs some love and converting it to how i want it will take time. But she's ready to hold crates, treats, fans, leashes, place boards, and most importantly, dogs.

So everyone. Meet Maeve. The newest addition to Canine Composure Family Dog Training 🖤

You're about to get a lot of van conversion content 😂

I give a lot of face to face advice on a daily basis, so I figured I'd share some with yall!

1. Let your dog rest after eating in order to avoid bloat. Definitely more of a risk for larger breeds or deep chested breeds. However, any dog in my care is resting for an hour after meals. Rest allows food to properly digest and adds a nice bit of structure to your dog's routine. If your dog won't rest, you can feed them in their crate and then leave them be for a little while longer.

2. Getting two puppies at the same time can cause Littermate Syndrome. It won't always, but it's not something I would risk. One puppy can be a lot more socially reserved and kind of always in the background or worse, they can start fighting each other. It's definitely something I don't recommend.

3. If you're getting frustrated or you've had a stressful day, pause and breathe. The more frustrated you are, the shorter you'll be with your dog, and that's no longer a productive lesson. It's okay to walk away for a minute to reset. It's okay to crate your dog so you can have a moment to regroup. It's also okay to completely end a lesson and try again later once you're in a better mindset. Give yourself grace ❤️

Have your own random bits of advice? Share them below! You never know who they'll help! 👇🏻

What are your favorite hiking spots with your dog? In any state, not just NC!

Not me wanting to cry while making this. 🤣

I feel so lucky that I get to be surrounded by so many dogs. They're so special, and we're fortunate to be able to spend our lives with them ❤️

Our Pack Walk Fundraiser was a wonderful success! We raised a total $320 for Lancaster County Animal Shelter 🎉❤️

Thank you to everyone who participated. We couldn't have done it without your support!

09/20/2024

My purpose is to share the joy of dogs with as many people as possible, and I think this picture does a great job at summing that up 😊

Have a great weekend, everyone!

I've always heard that if you have the passion, you'll succeed. I didn't truly get that until this year. It doesn't mean that because you have the passion, it'll be easy and you'll be successful.

It means that when things get really hard, the only thing that will keep you pushing forward is your passion. If you don't have the passion, you'll quit when it gets hard and therefore won't succeed.

This year has been my hardest one yet business wise. I learned some hard lessons like I'm a business owner first, a dog trainer second.

I've been forced out of my comfort zone, but it makes me excited for the future.

I've realized that I can't do this alone. I'll only get so far. I have to get out there and meet people and create relationships.

I'm thankful that I've always had a strong support system. I just haven't always used them. When things get tough, I retreat into myself to try to fix everything first. But this year I've reach out when I was struggling, and it's been so helpful. I wouldn't be here without them.

Being a business owner is the hardest thing I've ever done. But it's also extremely rewarding and so much fun. Thank you all for being a part of it! ❤️

Shout out to dad because he's the only reason that the floor got done. 1. It took longer than expected. 2. I cleaned pretty much the entire time. 3. I've realized that I VASTLY underestimated how much work converting the van would be. 4. I'm thankful for a dad who I skilled in a bunch of random things. The flooring is now way better! It's better insulated and easier to clean, which is all beneficial for the Day Train pups! Next up, electrical ☠️ #dogtraining #charlotte #caninecomposure #explore #trending #reels #vanconversion

Trying to bribe a nervous dog with a treat forces them to interact with you before they're ready. You're unintentionally putting pressure on them, and it can make trust happen slower. If you're around a nervous dog. IGNORE THEM. I promise they'll come up and sniff if/when they're ready. Also! Them sniffing you is not an invitation to reach out and get them. Literally pretend they're wearing an invisibility cloak! Take things slow and let them approach on their own time. Trust and security are more important than getting a quick pet in! They will feel safer around you if you don't put pressure on them to interact with you before they're ready! Questions?

Part of Nelly's lesson today was jumping on things. High walls, benches, picnic tables, and finally, the bleachers. Part of having a puppy is helping build their confidence. I love a confident dog that believes in themselves. My job during these moments is to support Nelly and hype her up. I know she's capable of doing it, and i want to show her that she can. She was nervous about the bleachers but she did it! Once she got off, high praise, and then we move on. And guess what? Right after doing all of this, she jumped in my car for the first time. Go Nelly! #caninecomposure #dogtrainer #charlotte #dogtraining #explore #trending #reels #portugesewaterdog

Calm rarely happens on its own! The pattern I do when working with a dog is- Activity Rest Activity Rest On repeat, all day every day. I work the dog first so that they're more likely to welcome the rest versus resist it. You'll often hear, "well your dog has energy, so go exercise them and they be good" while that's partly true, exercising your dog also creates endurance and if you're relying on exercise to have a calm dog then you've screwed yourself. Yes, we need to exercise our dogs, but we also need to teach them to be bored. That part is just as important! So, Activity Rest Activity Rest Have questions?
