Improvement.
We all want it. We all strive for it. Some might succeed and others don’t.
Improvement in dog training can look like this, I said his name once and he responded perfectly! Or it can be the opposite! Improvements can be done from very bad situations to just bad. It doesn’t have to be the perfect recall. The perfect session or even the perfect try.
It could have just gone better than the day before, the session before or the try before.
Realize the way you have come, the improvements made and give to your dog what they have given to you.

Girls
Bella and Minka have taken a long time to get to this point. They have always just kind of done their own thing. And Bella mostly avoided or over-corrected Minka at all points.
This short clip is one of my favorites…since returning from lambing we have stopped throwing things for Bella and it has done some wonders in her ability to interact with her environment. Something something about quieting the mind and not letting a border collie become obsessed 😅
Who knew…
Anyways. They’re cute. That’s all.

SCRATCH BOARD - SESSION 1
Was the board hard to build? Nope.
Does it actually work though? Yes. Absolutely.
Where do I start? Watch this video.
Like, comment and share! Or send me a dm if you have a detailed question!
Scratch boards are a super easy way for your dog to shorten their nails without the added pressure of clippers or sounds of a grinder. Plus it is super fun, and your dog gets to use their brain 😊
Follow along while I teach my dogs how to scratch properly, and help them sharpen their thinking skills.

BELLA VS 210
Who do you think started it?
Is it the young inexperienced dog or is it the 4yr old ewe?
Watch to see!

Muzzle Training Session 6
It’s been a moment of training this skill, so my expectations for today were low. We started off with me showing her the muzzle because I wanted to see what Bella remembered.
The answer? A LOT!
So we got fancy and comfortable with straps today 🥲 slow and steady is what this progress is! Don’t rush it.

GLAMOROUS minute of DOG TRAINING
Oh I am sorry, did I lose you there? Yeah this is trainkng. Nothing flashy, nothing great, nothing about this screams “she’s a dog trainer and look at the fix!”
But I am a dog trainer, I am a canine behaviorist in training and this is what dog training should be like! Simple, boring and possible to do for anyone.
Criteria in this training session:
- head lied down on the couch - why? When Rylee lies down her head she is relaxed and calm and not “eager” to follow me everywhere.
Your dog might not require a head lie down, but mine does. Know your dog and my coaching programs take everything into account to help you understand your dog through and through.

Disengagement Treat Throwing -
What it is and why I think you should maybe add it to your daily walk!
First of all, let us shorten this mouthful to DT! Yes, the video is finally here to explain what DT stands for, and how to use it.
DT stands for disengagement treat, and it is the treat that you throw at an angle or not away from your body to the ground for your dog(s) to find.
Bella and Rylee absolutely adore this game and always are very eager to reengage with me, and scouring the entire snow for the treat. We make a fun 5-10 minutes out of this during our regular walks!
Let me know in the comments how your training is going! 👇🏻
Happy Training!

My mom was in town last December and I have missed her so very much!
We were just walking around outside, and Bella always ends up finding a ball in this field. So mom asked me if she could play with Bella for a bit, and I ended up videoing it, because while not appropriate fully she did seem to have loads of fun 💕
While not fully appropriate? Because she is balancing my mom and the ball (the inappropriate part).
