Happy Monday everyone! Here’s a bit of an update for all my followers:
I have been ridiculously busy with life, my second job, & my personal dogs the past several weeks! Ziej (pictured below) & I are currently trial prepping for our PSA PDC (Protection Dog Certificate) that will take place in May. We will be traveling to Kansas for this! Trial prep is no joke, & takes a lot of commitment. Wish us luck on this new endeavor for us!
In order to better balance my personal life & business, I will now be posting available time slots for training that can be claimed on a first come first serve basis. These time slots will be updated every two weeks! I will keep the post pinned to the top of our page & you may message or comment to claim.
This new system will start NEXT WEEK! Please keep your eyes peeled if you want to book a session with me! They are very limited! Due to the limited availability, prices will be going back up to $60 for a private session. I will still offer discounts for packages.
Thank you everyone for understanding & consistently supporting us!
🗓️Private sessions available for next week 1/28- 2/3🗓️

Despite the awful weather that has plagued Evansville this weekend, we got out & worked!💪
Can’t train outside? Thank God for pet friendly stores! Scarlett had a great session today & we tackled her pesky problem of eating popcorn off the floor at Rural King. I also took some much needed time to work my personal dog, Ziej in a pet store!
Contact me today if your dog also needs some help focusing while in public! We can fix that!😉🐾
We had another great lesson with Watson & Holmes today! These boys are such quick learners! We worked on their sit stays, lay down, & place.🐕🐾

If your current dog trainer uses “alpha” in their terminology, run the other way! Alpha theory is scientifically disproven & I would be happen to cite sources to anyone concerned. Here at Influential Canine in Evansville, IN we promote engagement & a healthy relationship with your dog! Rather than force submission, we teach you to communicate! ❤️
Watson & Holmes the Cavalier brothers have been joining me for training walks! These training walks allow me to work on their obedience & leash walking skills one on one, & then return them right home afterwards! 😁
These boys are such a joy to work with! Watson (tricolor) is a curious dog who has a “what’s in it for me” attitude! He requires me to be much more engaged & energetic in our training. Holmes (blenheim) is easily excited & ready to please! He can get easily distracted so we have to be more calculated in our training together. Very fun differences between these littermate brothers!
I can’t wait to continue the journey of teaching these boys to be better behaved & more confident! With positive reinforcement techniques these two are learning fast.❤️ Thank you to their owners for trusting me as their dog trainer!
🦃🍂Happy Thanksgiving! From my family to yours! 🍂🦃
Watson & Holmes joined me today for their training walks! 🐾 These two beautiful boys are just a joy to work with!
Your dog will benefit far more from 1 hour of daily training, than 8 hours of daily daycare.
Did you know that proper use of ecollars is hand in hand with positive reinforcement? We use this brand of collar, & love the graphic & information below! Give it a read!
Dogs day out! 🐾
Toad enjoyed his trip to Rural King today where we worked on leash walking, stays, handler focus, confidence building, & stranger neutrality! This 10 month old puppy is such a joy to train! 🤩
Want similar for your dog? We offer day trains! Your dog joins us daily to have similar adventures & train with a pro 💪
Thanks for coming out tonight everyone! It was a great evening working dogs! 🐕🐾 Stay posted for our next class!
We are BACK! After a much needed break we’re back to training your pups to be well behaved canines! 🐾
Join us for Obedience on Friday, or message us for your training needs! 🙌
We are on vacation! All inquiries will be responded to upon our return! Thanks!
We haven’t had a pup-date in quite a while! Enjoy some pictures of our latest board & trains, & demo dogs! 🐾

At Influential Canine, we believe in bond-based dog training, using balanced methods.
Dog trainers don’t possess any magic. What they do possess, if they’re good at their craft, is a highly developed set of skills. But remember, at one point they knew very little, and likely got into this line of work because they were struggling with their own dogs.
So what’s the difference between a skilled and knowledgeable dog trainer and a struggling owner? Yep, you guessed it, skills and knowledge.
These people that you now hire for help were once struggling much like yourself. What did they do? They developed within themselves—likely with the help of another dog trainer—what was necessary to be able to solve their problems, and now, with all that ability, they help others with theirs’.
But, and this is a big but, all they can do is help. They can share information, teach skills, coach, and root you on—but only you can put in the work to take what is being shared and make it something personal, integrated, and useful.
You don’t have to become a dog trainer, but you do have to become a skilled, and knowledgeable owner—to whatever extent needed to match your goals.
Otherwise you’ll have to settle for watching your dog “magically” excel with your trainer, and “mysteriously” deteriorate with you.
Happy birthday to our demo dog, Ziej & his littermates! 🐕 This also means, our spring giveaway is now closed & we will announce the winners tomorrow!

Does your dog really know sit? Every dog knows sit! Right? You’d be surprised the astounding amount of dogs that in fact do not! In short, if you tell your dog sit with solely a verbal command & they do not respond then they do not know sit. Most dogs respond off that treat in your hand or the hand motion you subconsciously make each time. My challenge for you this week: evaluate if your dog actually knows sit, or down, or whatever command that they’re blowing off that you thought they knew. Work on removing that hand motion & strengthening their response to a verbal command. In turn, you will eventually get those snappy transitions Ziej is able to accomplish.
At Dog Day Downtown in Evansville, IN last weekend we used the day as an excellent training opportunity. With dogs everywhere, loud noises, & some insane distractions it was perfect to work on some engagement! Dog Day provided a small little agility course. Ziej has never been exposed to any agility before. We did a couple of runs & practiced a bit going over & he got the hang of it after a while! Once I felt comfortable I decided to practice some stays & going over the jump, which he executed perfectly in this clip! A high distraction sit stay can be a lot for a dog, asking them to stay in their place while something is more interesting across the street. Then I proceed to recall him OVER a tall a-frame? You can see in the video I did a little with the toy before to get his attention. Then proceeded to reward him when he completed what I asked. Agility is a wonderful confidence booster for your dog & creates a great bond as you work together. And of course it’s fun for both dog & handler! Next time you see an opportunity similar to this, use it as a learning experience with your dog! Both of you will benefit! I must say I was proud to see him complete an advanced stay & call over the a-frame in front of all those people watching!
Little bit of impulse control on a high value item. You can practice this with many commands, we personally use wait. Leave it is also good or even a simple stay that’s been properly proofed.
