New graduate!!!
Ivy completed our 4 week on and off leash course and made myself and her mom so incredibly proud. Ivy had now learned so many practical commands for off leash excursions, and also received incredible structure and consistency during her stay as well. Her mom is on top of all of Ivy's needs and I can't wait to see this pair in action soon! Good luck Ivy!

Finley has been with me for the past few days and we have been working on appropriate leash manners with dogs & children. Today we took Finley to the park that has TONS of kids, and she did great! Using the prong collar, I was able to give her the instinctual correction that mama dogs give their pups, when she decided to act undesirable. We celebrated with a dip in the river! Good job Finley!

We have another graduate! Congratulations to Peppa, for completing our 3 week "Summit" board and train! This sweet girl used to pull like a sled dog on walks, jump all over guests, and knew minimal obedience. Now Peppa has a perfect "heel" and no longer pulls on walks, she no longer greats guests with her two front paws on them, and has a phenomenal recall. I'm gonna miss this girl!

My most recent board and train, Jake!

Jake is here with me for a 4 week behavior modification for dog aggression. Jake is 3 years old and just the sweetest thing! He has already picked up on all of his commands in just the first week he has been staying with me, and also has been working great with slowly introducing new dogs into his circle. Jake struggles with anxiety, and the end goal for his training to to boost his confidence and overall sense of self to allow him to have appropriate interaction with dogs and people.

MY FIRST OFFICIAL GRADUATE!
Today was graduation day for Miss Charlie. Charlie did an outstanding job with completing the Peak training course with absolute flying colors. Charlie now can heel and recall off leash, and even was able to withhold her "Place" command for 45 minutes with distractions. Congratulations Charlie and Hannah!

Mojo popping in to say "It's the weekend!!"

Besties who are trained together.. stay together! Rosie and Charlie both were both more reserved around other pups when they came here for obedience training. They just preferred to stay in "their lane". But these two have become so bonded, and train SO well together. I know Rosie is going to miss Charlie when she leaves Sunday. These girls are doing great with distraction proofing, Charlie will "Place" while Rosie "Heels" around her, Charlie will "Come" while Rosie is in a "Down". They have both come a long way!

Charlie is killing it with her Peak program! In this video, I show you how we use e-collars appropriately, efficiently, and in a non-invasive way!
This collar used muscle stimulation, no shock at all! As you can see, once I gave Charlie the reminder that she needs to stay by my left leg, she positioned herself right back to how she is supposed to be. We love e-collars and all the benefits that come with them!

Mojo is getting the hang of "sit" and "down"!

Say hello to my FIRST board and train, Kilo!
Kilo is a 5 month old Goldendoodle who is here to learn the basics of being a good puppy.
Kilo will learn to effectively communicate when he needs to go potty, that jumping on people is not allowed anymore, and that he is not allowed to nibble on humans! Kilo will be with me for two weeks, and he is already learning so quickly.

My name is Kaitlyn Braly and I am from Chattanooga, TN. I enjoy hiking, traveling, trying new local food, and spending quality time with my friends and dogs. I grew up on a farm in Dunlap, TN and my love for animals started when I began horse shows. As I got older and graduated from school, my two childhood dogs Belle and Pokey crossed the rainbow bridge. After a while, I decided it was time to get another dog named Zaxby and the rest is history. With Zax, I discovered how rewarding it was to train a dog from the ground up.

Throughout my time here at Highland I have grown in various ways but I would say the biggest is understanding how dogs communicate with us and amongst each other. I have also learned to be more patient with dogs and how to communicate with clients more effectively. My favorite portion of this program thus far has been learning in-depth how to properly train with an e-collar ending the stigma of them being cruel.

I have learned so much from Freya and Remi as my practical dogs while here at Highland. Freya was s***ky, energetic, and eager to learn. She caught on quickly and I learned from her that my sessions need to be engaging and interesting. I saw how varying my reward truly helped motivate her to try harder. Remi was a tough little dog who was fearful of new people, unengaged, and defiant. Together we formed a special bond to the point that he would get excited for me to get him out and start training.

My advice to anyone starting as a trainer is to learn how to understand a dog’s language and to keep training sessions quick, always ending on a good note. This is so much more than just “playing with puppies all day.” This career is rewarding and fulfilling but requires a lot of commitment and consistency. You need to be willing to be open-minded to new techniques and strategies in your training career. I love being a dog trainer, and after coming to Highland I have fallen even more in love with my job as a dog trainer.
