🔉🔊Volume on BUT down for this video!
Please welcome Archie into the Anxiety Program!
I’m extremely grateful for his mom to allow me this opportunity to help Archie through some of his anxiety and take progressive steps towards a calmer more confident mindset.
Archie really struggles with being alone without his “sister” Rosie where it has created a very unhealthy level of attachment to her.
He’s been using her as his “emotional support pacifier” and due to this he doesn’t know how to relax when left alone.
Archie also get extremely anxious when guests come over and barks excessive for long periods of time.
In addition to his major anxiety he also has a high prey drive which makes the cats who also live in his home pretty stressed out.
This is currently how Archie reacts to simply being in a crate without Rosie.
He’s fully comfortable physically.
He’s had breakfast, water, potty break, has a comfy blanket, AC is on and yet.. mentally he’s not ok. His adrenaline levels are through the roof because he (currently!) doesn’t know how to cope with being alone.
Stay tuned for his journey!

Please congratulate Murphy on completing his first week Behavioral Modification Stay and Learn!
He’s making great progress and has achieved several goals so far.
Those goals include:
🦴Increased confidence with being alone, learning in a new home, being around other dogs he doesn’t know
🦴Starting to understand E.Collar pressure
🦴Stop jumping on people
🦴 Continuing to learn he shouldn’t be using his mouth to “say hi” when he’s excited about seeing you
🦴 Going to Place and remaining there
His biggest accomplishment this week:
🏆🏆🏆🏆
🦴 Leaving an item and then coming when called!!
Because Murphy doesn’t like to share whatever item he deems as his (toy, bone, wrapper on the floor etc) teaching him to leave those things and coming away from something he wants is HUGE!!
We are starting small with not follow allowing him to be immersed in having the item but this is a fantastic step forward for him!!
Mr. Murphy is doing great!!
Here he is patiently waiting to be released from a sit and to come politely in the door from outside.
He’s working on his impulse to rush in and out of the door because LIFE is EXTREMELY EXCITING!!
How do you think “Mr. I’m super excited about life!” Is doing!?
More updates coming soon!

My birthday gift to myself.
This is me making ALL the noise giggling like a hyena my first time meeting Sol! I was SUPER excited to get my first Malinois and couldn’t stop giggling and laughing at her tenacity and just being adorable.
She’s definitely kept me laughing since!

‼️Only a 1 spot left in August and
2 spots in September for your dog to join my Stay and Learn program ‼️
Mochi making mistakes because learning NEEDS mistakes to happen! We can’t learn in a bubble my friends and dogs are the same way 🥰
You’ll see her get off, pop back on, jump on the couch and over all *happily* making mistakes because they ARENT a bad thing!
I want her excited to train with me, excited to learn and try to figure out what I’m asking her so she can get that reward!
Good girl Mochi!!

Reggie is making great progress!!
He’s now able to hold Place for a full hour while I:
1) Walk in and out of the room
2) Open and shut doors
3) Drop food near him
4) Walk a dog within 6feet of his cot

🐾🐾 You’re NOT going to want to watch this video…. I’m warning you now!🐾🐾
Why? Because most training that’s done where I am changing a dog’s emotional state (also called Behavioral Modification) is slow, at the dogs pace and often boring to watch.
It’s not flashy, fast, or engaging content to catch your eye.
However it’s the behind the scenes and this “boring” stuff that’s the “meat of my training sandwich”!
Here I’m working with Reggie on his basic obedience skills while he’s in a small pen and using his dinner as his reward.
Why does this matter?
Reggie feels uncomfortable in small spaces when people encroach into his bubble. I’m working to show him that people will respect his boundries while also asking him to push his comfort zone out and trust me.
Sit is easy, down requires more trust in me and Come is harder because I’m asking him to enter in my “bubble” of his own free will.
This is my foundation of which I will use to build trust and confidence in Reggie that will allow him to grow and consistently improve his socially acceptable skills. This is also something his owner can working on in addition to showing him he can move away from the person making him uncomfortable.
Reggie is doing great and I’m very happy with how much more willing to engage with me he is!
