So unbelievably proud of and her boy Murph. She has been working so hard on boosting his confidence and increasing their trust in each other. The last time Murph was at the vet was a little rough. But he did SO much better this time when we took him in for a short visit. I love watching him gain more and more confidence every time I see him!

Look at walking like such a good boy. And so close to another dog too! His mom has been working hard with him to improve his leash walking, lessen his reactivity, and improve his confidence! I am so proud of them and how much progress they have made!!

Cleaning out my car today and Blue is hanging out with me. People, dogs, kids, all passing by. And while he might show interest, he's not getting up and invading their space. He's not on a place cue either. I pulled the bed out of my car and told him he could lay on it. But he doesn't *have* to stay there. He's just been taught when it's time to relax and when it's time to play. It's an important skill for any dog to have and it allows them to be more involved in your life!

Max is learning how to hold his sit even when mom walks away! And of course, supervisor Jack is keeping a close eye on things.

So proud of these two! Pippen struggles a lot with leash pulling and dog reactivity. But his mom has been working really hard to help him learn how to ignore distractions and pay attention to her! Being this close to another dog without blowing up is HUGE for him!

Obie might be cute as a button but he has a bad habit of wanting to eat EVERYTHING off the ground during walks! And being such a shortie it can be hard to catch him. But mom is doing a great job learning how to teach him to ignore all those tasty little landmines!

Max is doing a great job learning to ignore and not chase Jack the cat!

It's easy to understand fear that looks like fear, but what if it doesn't....

You see a dog at the front of her crate. She is growling and barking at you wildly. You go to get her out and she dodges your advances snapping at you every time you get close. The longer you try to leash her up you the more aggressive she becomes. You see another dog sitting in the corner of his cr...

At the end of the day, YOU are the one who trains your dog. You are the one that lives with your dog every day. Your dog trainer is merely your coach and teacher. If you don't have a coach you don't feel good about, whose beliefs don't align with your own, you will all struggle. Trust your gut and find a trainer who fits both you and your dog.
