Clean marking optimizes your training sessions and creates confident and happy dogs! The majority of people are not aware that they are not using their markers correctly and/or consistently. It's easily the most common training error across all of my students. Does your dog look like this when you use your markers? If not, you're not maximizing your training sessions!
The Magic of Marking Workshop Starts tomorrow, June 5.

Six week Online class "Creating Optimal Drive State for Learning & Competition" starts June 1.
Understanding and managing a dog's arousal is critical for training and trialing. It's quite often misunderstood. Even when recognized, how do we control it??
We will start this class by learning how to recognize your dog’s various drive states and how your dog moves between them. With practice, you can learn to quickly recognize subtle signs that indicate your dog’s mental and emotional state. We will look at techniques that bring your dog’s drive state up, as well as down. We will put those techniques on cue and teach them to your dog. The end result is the ability to read your dog’s mental state and adjust it up or down as needed, immediately and on cue! This is an incredible tool that will greatly benefit your dog when training and trialing. Click on the link for more info and to sign up.

Hind end slumping down, slipping on non-carpeted floors, difficulty climbing stairs, knuckling, stiffness, and difficulty rising from a laying position are just a few signs that your senior is weakening in the hind end. Hind end weakness comes with age, but it doesn't have to rapidly get worse. You can even reverse it to some extent. Physical therapy can help your senior gain muscle mass, increase mobility, and decrease pain from muscle tension. We do our best to get your pup to live at their highest potential, no matter what age!

Check out and join my Membership Forum offered through Petra’s Dog Resource Center. It’s new and improved! My vision is to create a space where we can gather and learn from one another. Members drive the content I add to the site. The forum is a place where we can talk about training and trialing. I’m there to answer questions, review video for eligible members, and provide encouragement and support. My ultimate goal is to create a community. A place where we can enjoy training together, engage in communal problem solving, share challenges and accomplishments. I have some other ideas and as the community grows, I’ll be adapting the site to YOUR needs! Join Petra’s team and become part of a positive, progressive and supportive community!

Meet Diamond! He is a 3 yo Rottweiler that suffered from TWO FCE's. An FCE is a spinal cord stroke. When a dog suffers from this they become paralyzed but usually only in one or two hind legs. Diamond suffered two separate stokes leaving his hind legs weak and his left front paralyzed. He came into our facility unable to walk without support from one or two of us. After weeks of therapy he is able to stand and walk on his own! We were so excited to see his progress!! We will miss this guy 🥰

Happy National Puppy day!!!
Hey everyone, Nicole here. This is Koru when she was just 5 months old. I miss it so much!
In celebration of national puppy day post a pic of your puppy in the comments so we can "awwwwwww" at all of them and wish we had another 🤪 Can't wait to see them all !

Meet Zima! She came all the way from Massachusetts to stay with us for rest and rehab after experiencing an FCE (spinal stroke) which caused almost complete loss of function in her left hind leg. After almost a month of intensive rehab, she regained a significant amount of use in that leg and she was at the point where her family felt comfortable taking her home. She will be continuing rehab with a facility close to her home in MA. We wish you the best of luck, Zima!! Cornelius Chizbagawitz

Whether your dog already had CCL, Hip, or Knee surgery, or is in need of an alternative to surgery, canine physical therapy is the answer. A dog will stop using the injured limb as much as possible when they are in pain and that leads to muscle loss. Muscle loss and pain leads to overuse of all other muscles. Overuse of other muscles leads to more injury. During physical therapy, exercises and tank sessions build muscle while massage loosens overused muscles. We will help get your dog to reach their highest potential post surgery or injury. If your are interested in learning more about our services you can check out our website www.petrasdogresourcecenter.com or give us a call at 973-732-7085.
