🚨 Ed Sheeran, Dane Mix in Need of Your Help! 🚨
CRATEESCAPE PAWTASTIC PET CARE SERVICES LLC

Ed Sheeran is a beautiful dog with SRGDRR, but his journey hasn’t been an easy one. In the past month alone, he’s been adopted twice and sadly returned both times due to severe behavioral concerns. His history includes resource guarding, which led to a human bite, lunging at people both in and out of his crate, and demand barking. His powerful size and behavior have even allowed him to break through regular crates by bending the bars.

Ed Sheeran urgently needs an intensive board and train program, and while the training will be provided by me, a volunteer and the Director of Training for SRGDRR, we need your support to purchase essential tools to help him succeed. A board and train program like Ed Sheeran’s would typically cost thousands of dollars, but his is being done entirely on a volunteer basis. One critical item is an Impact Collapsible Crate—the safest and most secure option for a dog like Ed who has broken out of traditional crates. Without this, his safety and that of others is at risk.

This isn’t just a training program—it’s Ed’s last chance, as we are currently evaluating him for behavior euthanasia due to the bite(s) on record. Our goal is to give him every opportunity to live the life he deserves with the right family, but he needs your help to get there. The link to donate - https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=25Q2LH74WA738 ! Any additional funds remaining after the purchase of his training tools will go directly toward his ongoing care and any other needs while he’s under my care and that of

Could you be the one to open your heart and home to this sweet girl? We transport nationwide! If any of my Indy friends are able to foster her, I’ll provide in-person training. For those out of state, no worries—I’ll offer virtual training support! Callie gets a little nervous during thunderstorms (but honestly, who doesn’t get startled by a loud boom?). We can definitely work on easing her nerves. She’s a playful, ball-loving girl who just wants to be with her people.

🐾 Training Success Starts with You 🐾

Dogs can only succeed when we, as their humans, teach them how we want them to behave. They look to us for guidance and direction, so expecting them to know what to do without proper training is setting them up for failure.

💡 Consistency is key. Training takes time and repetition, but with patience, your dog will learn. It’s important to be firm, fair, and—most importantly—have fun with your dog throughout the process.

Remember, the bond you build during training is just as important as the commands they learn! 🐕✨

🚨 Exciting News! 🚨 Athena has safely arrived in Indiana for her board and train with CrateEscape Indy! 🐾 Athena is available for adoption through Save Rocky Great Dane Rescue Rehab.

As a giant breed, Athena is a strong girl who knows her power, especially when she’s on the leash. We’ll be focusing on:

✨ Leash Manners: Athena tends to pull ahead when meeting new people or spotting other animals. We’re working on teaching her to walk calmly by our side.

✨ Dog-to-Dog Etiquette: Athena isn’t aggressive but struggles with proper greetings due to a lack of socialization. We’ll help her learn how to interact politely with other dogs.

✨ Resource Guarding: Athena has shown some resource guarding tendencies, growling at her foster parent’s daughter around food and water bowls. We’ll be working on preventing this behavior.

✨ Foundational Obedience & Off-Leash Reliability: Athena will also be learning essential obedience commands and working on becoming reliable off-leash.

Follow along on her journey as we help Athena become a well-mannered and confident pup! 🐕

Let’s give a warm welcome to Athena as she arrives in Indy for her very first board and train with CrateEscape Indy! We’ll be tackling leash pulling, reactivity to other dogs, and potential resource guarding. During her stay, Athena will learn foundational obedience skills and commands, and we’ll work on achieving off-leash reliability. Excited to see her progress! Athena is available for adoption through ! I’ll be documenting her entire training journey and progress.

Today, CrateEscape Indy is celebrating the life of Natalia, a spunky cat who always found herself in the most unexpected places—on top of doors, inside baskets, and never shy about voicing her opinions. This candle honors a beloved family member who will gain her wings tonight at 6:30pm. Reflecting on my journey, I never imagined having quality of life conversations with pet owners, but it’s become a heartfelt part of what I do. Please keep Natalia’s family in your thoughts tonight. 🌈

It’s a rainy day in Indy! What’s better than the look Scotty is giving me in the first picture I took! I think he might like me just a bit! We’ve spent pretty much all of May together. His pawrents have had a lot of travel this month! I get to look back at the picture and remember exactly why I do what I do! It’s all about the pups and their owners! This job isn’t always easy! It’s time away from home and my dogs! I love what I do and I’m doing what I love! Thank you to all my owners that allow me to take care of their four legged family members!

🎶 Ed Sheeran just arrived in Indy, and we’re less than 48 hours into his board and train. Already, he’s gone from barking and whining in his crate to learning how to stay calm! 🐶 How did we make this happen? We kicked off his board and train with structure, boundaries, and rules, focusing on building leadership skills so Eddie understands he’s not in charge of the house. 💪 Each day, we do three 30-minute training sessions, starting with crate drills and a slip lead. Once he was consistently entering his crate without trying to escape the lead, I named the command “crate.” 🏠🐕 If you’d like to support our training efforts, consider donating here: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=25Q2LH74WA738 #dogtraining #boardandtrain #dogtrainer #savealife #blackdog #blackdogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedog #dogtrainers #femaleowned #smallbusiness #donate #donations

Did you know? Even professional dog trainers face challenges with their dogs! Meet Huey, a Bulldog mix, and he’s one of my dogs. I adopted him a little over a year ago. He’s been a menace the entire time. Huey knew some basic obedience commands. He enjoyed tearing up his expensive dog beds, running chaotically from room to room, signs of barrier aggression/anxiety, biting at my Great Danes’s ankles, and so much more! I am gone from home a lot to take care of clients’ homes and pets. I always made excuses for his behavior. Until this last week when he redirected on me and attempted to bite my hand! I finally had enough. Yes, I train dogs and own a dog with behavior issues. We are on day 3 of his Cut the Sh*t Dog Training Bootcamp. He has learned the place command and off-leash walks on my property in heel command! Place Command: Teaching Huey the art of doing nothing as a dog! This creates a calm state of mind! It’s something Huey has never experienced. He has always been highly aroused and constantly going. Off Leash Heel: Teaching Huey to focus on me while out walking vs everything going on around him. It will also give him the freedom he deserves while we are outside. It can even help build confidence where it might have been lacking. We have a lot more work to do over the next several days! What if I told you that this was achievable with your dog too? Training doesn’t have to be hard! I would love to help you and your family! Contact directly me to learn more! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainersofinstagram #consistencyiskey #cutthesh*t #dogtrainingbootcamp

What is the place command and why do we use it? 🐶Place Command is teaching your dog to go to a specific place and settle, for example - bed, raised dog cot, place board, rug. Why do we train place command⁉️ Place teaches your dog to settle no matter what is happening! Doorbell Rings, Children Playing, Watching TV, Holiday Parties, and so much more! Comment below on how place has helped you and your dog! Follow along for more helpful training tips! #placecommand #dogtraining

Love spending time with Peach. Her mom @magenp and @pbandcorg gave me a candle! I love it! #petsitting #petsitter #dogwalks #dogwalker #indiana #indianapolisindiana #femaleowned #smallbusiness

Super proud of this girl! Ellie has been working on this skill for quite sometime now. Last week we had a breakthrough! She used to pull me out of the garage as soon as it started going up. Fast forward to two weeks ago! She’s sitting patiently and waiting for my direction to start walking! I used the command words - wait and stay! #canecorso #brownsburg #brownsburgindiana #dogwalks #dogwalker #trainingcanecorso #dogtrainingisalifestyle

This is Huxley. He crossed the rainbow bridge just this year. I had the pleasure of watching him a few times before his departure. Huxley had kidney disease among other things he was a fighter. Kidney disease does not discriminate. Don’s forget to check on friends, family, customers who are grieving the loss of a fur baby. It’s just as hard as losing a loved one. Pets are family too. #rainbowbridge #petloss #petsitter #petsitting #petsitterlife #indiana #indianapolisindiana #indianapolis #petsarefamily
