Research and development are the first to clock in.
Had the pleasure of training with Kevin Bain from K9 Foundation this weekend. Kevin was quick to read Yo Yo and gave her what she needed to further her protection skills, thank you so much Kevin!
Feeling a little threatened by the new dog trainer in town. 😂
We took in two fosters from different rescues last week. One is very dog reactive and the other doesn’t like reactive dogs. I’m glad the two girls were able to sort things out.
Found some sweet photos from the workshop.
Thanks for being a good sport Hopper!
Had the pleasure of attending Mia's seminar in January, loved it! Just ordered her new book, I am sure we will love it as well!
Highly recommend this book!
Yay! 🤩 My book is now available in English!
Order it here: puhutaankokoiraa.fi/en
Note! Bundle shipping is much cheaper, so if you have friends who want to have my book too, make one order together 👍
Example:
The shipping costs to US 🇺🇸 are for one book 26€,
but for 5 books they are 9,75€ per book.
You can also get my book signed with a handwritten note ❤️
Train them right, then let them fly!

Last week, while attending a seminar at , I submitted and passed the practical exam. This means Thuan and Melissa are both Certified Training Without Conflict dog trainers.
When we started this business almost 5 years ago, we invested heavily in learning from the best trainers. We wanted to earn the trust of our clients and take good care of their dogs. We strived to provide the best training that is proven to work while being ethical and fair.
Thank you Ivan Balabanov for making your life's work available for others to learn from. Also for inviting world class trainers to your facility to expand upon the knowledge. Thank you Erick Aguirre for doing your magic and putting the course together in such a well thought out manner.
Thank you to all of our clients and supporters who follow and enjoy our training videos. We would not have made it to this point without you all! Happy training!
After much rushing around last week, finally got an opportunity to write this.
We attended Mia Skogster’s seminar last weekend. Yo Yo and I were able to work with Mia on the field and get personal advice on our training. Mia's incredible connection with dogs and her ability to fine tune how I communicate with Yo Yo, down to my facial expressions and how I breathe😂, is an experience that I will treasure forever.
Mia made me much more aware of how purposeful all my body movements needed to be as a handler. Super super awesome stuff!
Mia has a book that is coming out next month, cannot wait to get my hands on it!
Very grateful to Ivan Balabanov, Natalia Balabanov, and their TWC team for putting this workshop together. Also for providing TWC trainers the opportunities and encouraging us to learn from other wonderful trainers around the world ❤️
I earned his trust, made a new friend. ☺️
When a rescue dog rediscovers the joy of a frisbee. 🤣

Pro tip: When socializing your pup, embarrass him in front of strangers so he will develop a thick skin.

Little Watson learning to solve problems independently. He is working his way around a circle track we had laid down earlier. We’re using his high food drive as a motivator to overcome his insecurities.

Thanks for the photo
You kiss your handler with that mouth, Archer?

Steadily the back field gets cleared for a fenced in training area. The girls already know to ignore the neighbor’s dogs.
We’re moving to the country! Fay Fay, Yo Yo and Huya will have the freedom to run. Melissa and I will have to space to move forward with our dog training plans. 👨🌾👩🌾🐕🐶🐯
The next step is turning the #play and #relationship into #dogtraining . Happy, confident dog training.
Had the great fortune to work with Jany Böhm in the last couple of weekends. He really brought Yo Yo to the next level and helped us see what we needed to work on in the future. A truly gifted helper who is quick with his mind and actions, definitely worth the 17-hr drive to get there.
Not bad for two weeks with us. The ball was just a vehicle to communicate with Hall. I hope he gets a chance to show off his new skills at the adoption event tomorrow! #germanshepherd #rescuedog #adoptme #markandtreat
Our tracking is coming together, but most importantly, Yo Yo developed a love for it. #igptracking #dogtraining #malinois #markandtreat
No food lure, no e-collar stim here. Just a dog and a trainer trying to communicate and figure each other out. Hall has unknown history, but I’m sure he enjoys getting a reaction out of me. #dogtrainer #germanshepherd #rescuedog #markandtreat
I got Rose to play! 😅 After 3.5 weeks with very little improvement, I was loosing hope. But one day she grabbed a ball in the way to the backyard to potty and we built it up from there. I’m relieved, Rose is much happier and on her way to getting her mojo back. The lesson here is: if a dog is crazy about a toy, learn to use the toy as motivation. Don’t take away their love of life for the control you think you gained. In reality you get depression, not calmness.#chaseandcatch #trainingwithoutconflict #dogtrainer #markandtreat #australiancattledog
