I got the sad new this week that sweet, soulful Gypsy had passed. She lived a wonderful life. My dog Sunshine adored her. She went on many adventures with the TDC family. We'll miss her and are keeping Rosanne and Cathy in our hearts in this difficult time.

So glad this program is in our community. The best thing you can do for the feral cats you know and care for.

Sadie has been a runner in the past when she saw an opportunity and made a dash for it. Rebecca is learning to teach her one of the two most important skills a dog could know. How to come when called! What skill do you think is the other most important one your dog should know?

Zoey is the cutest pup! She enjoys zipping around as happy as can be. Olivia is doing the hard work of potty training and everything else that goes along with raising an active puppy. Can't wait to watch this little girl grow and help Olivia teach her the essential skills all dogs need to thrive in life.

Welcome, Olivia and Zoey!

Jane and Shakespeare make such a great team. They're back for a little touch up work after training with us 9 years ago. You may remember Shakespeare was in training to pick up items, including dropped credit cards. I said back then he was the most stable dog I knew and that's true today. So good to see them both back and smiling!

TDC Taste of Tail Blazers
This past Saturday morning, our Group Social attendees were treated to a wonderful adventure on the trails of a stunning 2,000-acre property, thanks to our gracious host, student and friend, Jane and her dog, Shakespeare. It was truly a special day. Jane didnโ€™t just share incredible trails and beautiful viewsโ€”she made sure everyone, both two-legged and four-legged, went home with full bellies and happy hearts.

I canโ€™t wait for our next adventure with the all new TDC Tail Blazers where we take you and your well trained dogs out on new adventures in our community and beyond!

9 month old, Norman, was causing chaos in his normally calm home. His people are enjoying him and he's enjoying life more now that he's learning lots of new skills with the main one being self-control.
Smart pup, dedicated family. Happiness.

Thank goodness Tex's people started their training when they did. We thought we had until May to prepare him for all the changes and help him overcome his sensitivity to sounds. They had their last lesson today and move in two weeks!

I'm so happy to say their dedication to the work has helped Tex relax and ignore the triggers that would set him off. He'll be better prepared for the new baby arriving aptly after the move and life on an air base!

I'll miss seeing Tex and his family!!

Blue skies, little buddy.

Hayley and Maverick and family are moving in the next few weeks. A cat lives in the home where they will be staying for a bit, so it's important for Maverick to have a bomb proof recall. Hayley has don't a great job teaching him the basics, now we need to ensure he listens when the leash is off around big distractions so he can enjoy the great big yard he'll have!

Nice work Hayley!

Wore out some good dogs and their owners yesterday! Met Nosey and his person for the first time. Nosey is very shy especially with men, so we worked a bit on some techniques to help him. As you can see from his smiling face, he warned up to me nicely. He's eager to learn and curious about the world.

Teddy had a big day even before arriving for his lesson. He went on a run with his person then a visit to a local pet shop, and by the time we were finished going for a long walk on a long leash he was too pooped to sit for the photo. Lol he did give us his eyes though.

Sweet Kross is learning to focus on his people rather than other dogs so everyone can enjoy a good outing. Recall will be key to his success. (Also one of two of the most important skills a dog can learn, in my opinion.

Teddy and Robin! Robin said she can't believe he's the same dog. Who's a GOOOOOOD boy!?! He's stolen my heart.

Our Story

At The Developing Canine, we specialize in off leash reliability so you can be sure your dog will listen to you around your home and beyond the garden gate. We've been training animals since 1984 and can help you enjoy your dog to the fullest. Carolyn Weinbaum has been a professional animal trainer since 1984 when she began her career at the Miami Seaquarium training and presenting shows with Orcas, Pacific white-sided dolphins, California sea lions and Pacific harbor seals.

In 1989 Carolyn was asked to develop a training program with the New Orleans' Audubon Zooโ€™s five California sea lions. While in New Orleans, Carolyn expanded her training skills by training white rhinos, red wolves, and primates.

After obtaining her certification as a dog trainer in 1995 from a nationally recognized dog training school, Carolyn founded The Developing Canine Behavior and Training.
