🐾 Pup-date time from Victoria and Palestina
Victoria and Palestina have been busy this November and December working with four amazing dogs. Here’s what they’ve been up to:
✨ Trumpette — our adorable Chinese Crested
She’s been building confidence out in the world, especially around other dogs! Trumpette completed private sessions with Victoria and our Curbing Adolescence class. Their final session included recall practice at the beach — and she rocked it!
✨ Regina — mixed-breed princess
Regina just graduated from Good Manners Level 1! Victoria also visited her home to help with some specific concerns, like barking at squirrels through the window and getting comfortable going into her crate. Go Regina!
✨ Texas (Tex) — the sweetest pup from… Texas!
Tex struggled with seeing dogs on walks and remaining calm when his humans contacted us for help. Trainer Palestina has worked to teach his family several pattern games to help Tex keep focused on his handlers when out and about. They also worked on reducing conflict around high-value items and some resource guarding behaviors. Tex has made wonderful progress — great job, buddy!
✨ Marty — our mini poodle class pet
Marty has spent most of his puppyhood in day training, so Victoria recently visited for a transfer session to review skills and answer his human’s questions. Marty showed off his “go to place” and leash-walking skills like a total star!

Leash Walking Equipment 101 🐾
There are so many options out there—flat collars, martingale collars, front-clip harnesses, head collars, slip leads… it can be overwhelming! 😅 While the internet is completely flooded with opinions on what’s “best.” Here’s the real secret: consistent training + proper enrichment.
If your dog is cooped up all day and only gets a quick 40-minute walk around the block, of course they’re going to pull!

We love recommending Freedom No-Pull Harness, Balance Harness, and Comfort Trainer as training aids—not magic fixes. These pieces of equipment help lessen the intensity of pulling so we can teach loose-leash skills. While training to walk nicely on leash we encourage clients to make sure your dog gets the enrichment and exercise they need beyond just walks.

✨ Bonus: A Freedom No-Pull Harness is included with every Good Manners Level 1 registration!

Overall as trainers our goal with any leash-walking equipment is to help you fade it out over time so you can eventually walk your dog comfortably on a flat collar or back-clip harness, if that is a goal for YOU.🐾
