Mr. Bootz is picking up on his (āRecallā to āPlaceā) commands great!
Working dogs are great to work with!
Little Ms. Arlo came to me with a fiery side that was hard to contain and direct. She is 12 weeks old and ready to take on anything! This is a little preview of her first 6 days! She has 7 more to go and Iām sure will continue to strive, and impress myself and her owners! Sheās as wild as they come but controlling it makes her so much fun!
If you or anyone you know are having problems with puppy training you can contact me!
Follow along to see Ms. Arlos and her progress!
Let me teach YOU how to train your dog! Not only do I offer board & train programs but I offer hour long sessions where we work on the specific issues you are having with your dog. Sometimes itās just a few things we are doing wrong as owners, that can change the entire dynamic and relationship we have with our dog. I have been lucky enough to work with animals and people my whole life and have picked up a few tips & tricks I would love to pass on.
Here we have Rusty an 18 week old puppy who is head strong and loves to pull. Here is a one of the several drills I use to stop that behavior. Stella is a 6 month old Dalmation with the same issue! Notice both handlers are using different techniques? Thatās because all dogs are different and it requires different strategies for different dogs. Allow me to help you get on the right track.
If you or anyone you know is having issues with their dog you can reach me on all social medias or contact me at (276)639-1661
My dogs first day on the agility course!
Medusa & Roxie are coming up on their first birthdays so I decided to get them a gift, that all my clients can use as well. A win win of course, but we wonāt tell them!
Both of my dogs have an enormous amount of trust in me so for their first day they made it look easy! We worked some jumps, tunnels, and most of it was off leash. I canāt wait to see some clients show their dogs off on this new agility course!
If you or anyone you know are ready to tackle this course or learn how to, send me a message or contact me @ (276) 639-1661

Mr. Coti
Coti is a young lab that has problems with leash pulling and jumping around other dogs and people. Thereās not a mean bone in this guyās body but 80-90 pounds of excitement and energy can be a lot to handle! In this video you will see Coti improving his āwaitā and āheelā commands. Then taking these skills and putting them to use while my two girls served as distractions. Coti has been amazing to work with this week and his manners have improved incredibly well!
If you or anyone you know has a dog that has these same issues & need help. You can send me a DM or contact me at (276) 638-1661
Ms. Addie
She finished up her one week board & train last night. From being mouthy to the point no one could be around her, to a nice loose leash BEAUTIFUL heel and a wait and place command. She still has a long way to go with lessons and lots of hands on work. But we are all very excited with the progress we made in a week!
For everyone who is following Ms. Addies journey, our rambunctious Dutch cross! This is Day 4 and she has made tremendous progress, from tail tucked fear biting to playing & obeying commands while enjoying life. No dog is untrainable, and there are none I will say no too. Sometimes it takes some tough love & understanding to get them where we need them to be to have a good successful life as a dog, but being persistently consistent always does the trick!
If you or anyone you know are having issues with your dog that donāt seem fixable, I will always try! Shoot me a message or call me at (276) 639-1661.

Ms. Addie
This week I have brought her into my training camp due to many issues. She has bitten dogs & people, is mouthy and overall untrustworthy. You can see here in the video I use multiple tools (catch pole, and muzzle) to keep her from making those same mistakes again. They are not to hurt or punish her, but to create it harder for her to fail and more likely for her to succeed. This is a small video of her first day progression! After this week of training I hope she has more trust in people & other dogs and her owners no longer have to be in fear of her hurting anything. She is a very fun loving dog once you gain her trust but it takes a lot. We have multiple walls and layers to break down and peel back before she is where she needs to be but her progression has been wonderful already. Follow along for more of Addieās journey!

We had a great group session Friday with Luna the Husky, Riley a young male German Shepard and Mr. Diesel. All of these dogs have concentration & attention issues. We worked our āwaitā & āplaceā commands heavy with this rotation which offered multiple opportunities for distraction. I am now offering group lessons throughout the week! If you and someone you know are both having issues group sessions are a great way to introduce or refresh your dogs skills!
Send me a message or call me at (276) 639-1661 to start today!
A little action from todays walk around lesson with Big Diesel! Heās completely overcome his leash pulling issue, now itās on to bigger things. Attention while In strange areas, and also using our āwaitā & āplaceā command!
If you or someone you know need your dog trained I offer lessons and board & train programs! You can contact me through messenger or at (276) 639-1661.
Big Boy Diesel.
Diesel is a beast of a bull dog that has come to me for leash pulling, jumping, and overall obedience. Heās a great dog but has attention issues, he loves to keep his nose on the ground and has tunnel vision wherever he goes. In this video you can see me bringing his head up multiple times, to make sure heās looking at me before I give him anymore direction. This is day 2 and heās coming along way!

Here we have a small group lesson with Finlee and Cash. Cash is learning his āsitā and āwaitā commands while Finlee is working her āplaceā command. Cash is a young intact Corgi who hates leashes and being told what to do. Ms. Finlee came to me with a barking problem because sheās a nervous little girl who doesnāt do well around new people or dogs!

Today Ms. Finlee took her new found skills out into the real world. We worked on her control on a leash while being on un comfortable raised surfaces. Along with working her āwaitā command along the way! She is really picking up on all the commands and making great progress!

Ms. Finlee,
Today was a big day for our girl. Most of the time when watching dog training videos you see the perfect moments. Today I wanted to show you all that itās not always perfect. The beginning is a little sloppy but you can slowly watch Finlee gaining the trust to look at me for direction. (Attention, Direction, Correction). That is the order I try to do while training! In a matter of minutes you can see her start to understand the āwaitā command along with a āturnā on different obstacles. It is only day #3 but Finlee is on her way to be a great dog and companion!
