Happy National Dog Day!
To celebrate, drop a pic of your favorite pup below 🐶❤️🐾
Miss Molly graduated today! I was thrilled to take her home and have her demonstrate how trustworthy she is now off leash. Her world will be bigger now that she can be trusted to come when called around distractions. I got to see her siblings Beethoven and Hart who are also graduates of Flat Creek training!
For those who ask if a dog is ever to old for training, Molly is a great example that it’s never too late! 🐾❤️🐾
A gorgeous nature walk in the park with the pups this morning! 🐾❤️🐾
First lesson with Duke and his family. Got a lot of work to do with this fella around how he feels about strangers.
Working on bringing out Molly’s playful side!
Welcome Molly! This older gal is here to gain off leash obedience so she can enjoy the freedoms of exploring just like her canine siblings who have completed training with me. We’ll be helping her with her social skills as well while here.
I know Molly very well as I used to board her and have worked with her mom multiple times with other dogs. She’s a solid and sweet pup, so the next couple of weeks are going to be a fun reunion! 🐾🐶🐾
Took advantage of today’s gorgeous weather and less humidity to take a long walk with the pups. Thoroughly enjoyed by all ❤️🐾🐶
Miss Skye graduated yesterday and wowed her parents either her off leash obedience and listening skills. We had a wonderful scenario of a baby deer running literally in front of us to recall Skye, and she performed beautifully! Thankful to have worked with her and her family multiple times to help Skye be her best! 🐾🐶🐾
That’s a wrap for Meeko! This handsome dude completed his Board & Train today and did so well to grow his skills and manners. Great job buddy! 👏🐾❤️
Photoshoot with Skye today 🐾❤️🐾
Welcome back Bailey! Bailey is a Goldendoodle who I’ve worked with previously and is now here to enhance her obedience. She is one affectionate pup who will be learning all about walking on a loose leash, recall and more!
If _____ was an Olympic event, my dog would be in Paris right now. ….and go!
Meeko begins his final week of training this week and is doing really well. He’s already demonstrating reliable recall off leash, and we’ll be adding even more distractions to test his skills in the upcoming days. 🐾❤️🐾
Breakthrough lesson with Tucker and his parents today. Change is possible and doesn’t have to take forever!
First lesson today with Tucker and his parents at the park to work on his manners!
Meeko has come a long way with his understanding of leash pressure and learning when he needs to walk with me and when he is free to explore.
Field trip with the Goldens! 🐾❤️🐾
Hello! You coming outside?
Tootsie will be hanging out with us for the week. Meeko and Skye welcomed her with open arms and plenty of enthusiasm!
More of a Pack Hike this morning, and we all loved it! 🐾❤️🐾
Working to boost Skye’s confidence one play session at a time!
Out and about with Meeko this afternoon. Use of long line for freedom to explore and play as well as practiced heeling around all the distractions. Great job buddy!
Meeko and Skye really hit it off when they met as I anticipated they would. But they are also learning how to be together without playing when inside.
His expression is not indicative of his mood most of the time!
Another beautiful Golden arrived today! Skye and her parents have completed basic training with me previously, and she’s back for another Board & Train to take her skills to another level. She’ll be working on impulse control around people and dogs and working on her off leash reliability amkng a few other things.
Welcome Meeko! He starts his Board & Train today to improve manners, leash walking skills and gain off leash reliability. He’s a sweet and playful Golden, so the next few weeks are going to be a blast! 🐾❤️🐾
Got to meet and work with a Frenchton today! Met with Cocoa, 7 months old, during an in-home lesson at the beach. What a fun little pup! 🐾❤️🐾
Morning walks look and feel a little different when you have reliable recall! 🐾🐕🐾

Molly is earning off leash freedom and is loving it! #flatcreekpetcare #flatcreekdogtraining #dogtraining #ecollartraining #offleashtraining
And just like that, Bailey has earned off leash freedom. 👏🐾🐶 #flatcreekpetcare #flatcreekdogtraining #dogtraining #doodle #offleashtraining #offleashlife
After each has had time out to walk, potty, play and train, we chill out inside with chew time. Gotta teach Bailey how to do this, so the leash is a great way to show what we want. #dogtraining #flatcreekpetcare #flatcreekdogtraining
Meeko has come a long way with his understanding of leash pressure and learning when he needs to walk with me and when he is free to explore. #dogtraining #flatcreekpetcare #looseleashwalking
Moose is a smart pup but needed help slowing down his mind and actually listening as he tends to get easily aroused. And he’s a strong lab so his desire to immediately chase after or lunge towards animals isn’t fun or safe when walking on leash. He’s starting to really pay attention and understand what is expected of him. Great job Moose! 👏
This is really the only way I advocate for or use dog parks…to practice dogs outside of the park. Yesterday’s session was much louder as Mojo expressed his big feelings of excitement. Happy with his progress today. Good job Smarty Pants! 👏🐾🐶 Shallotte N.C. Holden Beach, North Carolina
I’ve noticed that Berri has shown some sensitivity to loud truck noises, so we’re taking advantage of lunch time traffic in town for a nice walk with some exposure. Even trainer’s dogs can use some fine tuning at times! 🐶🐾❤️
Pack Walk 4.6.24 Urban spaces offer so much exposure to various sights, sounds, and textures for dogs. 🐾🐶🐾
Needed a before video to show just how much progress Maggie is making with her loose leash skills! 👏🐾❤️🐶
Practice makes progress. When Thor started out in Place this morning, he struggled a bit, especially seeing the other dogs in the room. Lots of whining for about 10 minutes. Several attempts to walk off, but I kept putting him back on and finally he is settled and able to focus on chewing a bone. Meanwhile Penny snoozes nicely in the background in Place. 🐾🐶🐾
More practice heeling with Penny at the park. Penny absolutely loves people and tends to lose control of her mind and body in order to greet someone. This week we’ve spent time exposing her to people and children so that she can still be held accountable for the skills she has learned (heeling) while still observing everyone around her but staying calm. Practice, practice, practice!
