I am a professional dog trainer specializing in positive based training methods. I have over five years of experience working with dogs in a shelter based setting. I have five years of experience working with shelter volunteers and fosters to train dogs to be more adoptable. Four years ago I decided to leave full time shelter employment, and train dogs full time because I want to help owners keep

their dogs instead of surrendering them. A rescue group pulled her off a euthanasia list at a large county shelter when she was 8 months old. She has challenges like many dogs, but I couldn't love her more. I want everyone to enjoy their life with their dog as much as I do!

100%

When we punish dogs for growling, even if they're growling at our child, we aren't helping them feel better about whatever it is that is threatening them. Instead, we are teaching to stop letting us know when they feel unsafe.

The result? A dog who stops giving us warning signs and "bites out of the blue."
And, that's how we create dangerous dogs. I'd much rather have a dog growl and tell me they're upset (so we have a chance to intervene and help them) than a dog who just bites without any warning signs.

One of my clients is missing her two beloved kitties from Hidden Springs Condominiums in Lewis Center. Stanley, the brown tabby was wearing a collar and tag at the time but may have lost it since. The black and white kitty is Kiki and does not have a collar or chip. Please reach out with (nearby) sightings! 614 284 8751

What do you guys think about this approach to loose leash walking?

Let's get real for a second.

The world often paints a picture that dogs who live together are best friends and do everything together.

This is just not true. Many many many multidog household utilize management in different situations to allow dogs personal space to enjoy things such as:

- feeding time
- chew time
- play time
- attention time

This. Is. Normal.

Just because someone utilizes management, doesn't mean their dogs don't enjoy each other's company or have fun together. It just means that there are certain activities that they prefer to do on their own.

And I will tell you firsthand that implementing safe space zones and time apart can be so beneficial to the relationship between two dogs.

Think about it-- do you enjoy doing every single activity that you do at home with your spouse, family, or sibling RIGHT there? I don't think so.

So let's normalize management between dogs who live together!!
