Who's a happy boy!?! A Bundle of energy and chaos needs people who know how best to expend that energy, mentally and physically, so the mind and body of the dog can relax and live in a calm state when it's time. Teddy is the embodiment of love and light. 😀

I love getting updates from happy clients and dogs, what a great family living their best life!! It's so important to trust that your dog will still listen to you when you take the leash off. This is what we specialize in at The Developing Canine. Susie and Gnocchi were spectacular in their training and finished just before moving to a place where dogs are ALLOWED OFF LEASH AT THE BEACH! Lucky them!!!

"Hi Carolyn!

I wanted to share these videos of Gnocchi at the beach with you! I finally got a license to take her on the beach off-leash! One and a half years after living here 🤪. She did so great and had SO much fun! Grateful for you, because without you this probably wouldn’t be possible!"

Week two of intermediate Rally O was a blast. Practicing the new signs then running a modified course to include them. Rosemary and Angus are an incredible team who've come so far from the days he would lose his mind barking if they opened the freezer or pantry, vacuumed, sneezed, you get the picture. He was also not fond of greeting people. He now loves meeting people and is a doll around those past triggers. Rosemary has been the person Angus needed to overcome his fears and anxieties!

We missed Nacho and Molly and their people this week. Beau, Jean, Sally and Finley had fun learning the new signs as well!

Industrial farms are showing bird flu infection in Georgia and across the country. It's a good idea to take note of this and keep your pets safe. Link in the comments.

What life could be like after training with The Developing Canine.

Tucker had his last lesson with us October 30th just in time to enjoy Christmas up north with family and their dogs. His people report he was wonderful. He's just about a year old and fully trusted off-leash in safe places. This is a brand new place for him.

Good boy, Tucker!

So good to see him and his people back at Group Social this afternoon.

Tex likes to boss around the television which makes relaxing an impossibility. He had a great lesson today learning to focus a bit more on his people and allowing them to decide who needs bossing and who doesn't.

OMG, A corgi!!! ❤️

Banks was the bestest boy on his Christmas vacation up north with extended family and their dogs he had never met. Apparently he was the best behaved of all.

He and his people had another excellent lesson learning to have greater freedom when out and about.

Daisy was a stray taken in by Lori after she was hanging around her house with no Owner to be found. She's the new kid who is upsetting the life of the old kid, Rosie with her youthful exuberance.

Lori is learning to teach both dogs to relax in each other's presence and listen when Lori speaks to them so she can guide them through the process of having a peaceful and fun life together.

There are lots of other ways to help a dog overcome their apprehension to novel objects, but this way worked well with the boxes. She was a nut.

Nacho had an exciting time at Three Dog Columbus the other afternoon. A boxer came in who was extremely happy to see him and Nacho was able to work through the situation and focus on his person while the boxer did some shopping. Nacho was able to hold a relaxed down while Dezi showed off his Birthday photo where he was wearing a birthday hat the bakery carried. AND the oven timer went off with no discernable notice. Good job Dezi and Nacho, and thank you Three Dog for always welcoming us to your shop!

8 month old Tucker and his people had an excellent time walking in the district and working on his off-leash reliability. We were all startled by a neighbor dog behind a fence. We all regained our composure only to be met by a cat as we turned the corner. Tucker didn't see it at first but was interested once he did see it. We heeled past and ended another great session. They are so advanced in the training they were able to join the group social Saturday! #thedevelopingcanine #puppytrainingcolumbusga #dogtrainingcolumbusga #dogtraining

When you train with The Developing Canine your private lessons include monthly group outings so you can practice your skills with distractions and enjoy spending time with other people with well behaved dogs. #thedevelopingcanine #puppytrainingcolumbusga #dogsofinstagram #columbusgadogtraining #gooddog

Perfect day for our Group Social outing. First time Tucker and family joined. They still have one lesson left but are doing so well they got to join us early! So good to see everyone else. Enjoyed spending the morning with all of you.

Allowing your dog freedom to sniff and explore on a walk is important, so is having your dog walk nicely beside you. At the Developing Canine, we teach you to do both in a relaxed manner. Pulling on the leash is a thing of the past. Get in touch if you would like to enjoy your walks like my students do.

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 Zoo’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.
