It’s never easy to say goodbye to a dog that means a lot to me. Bella was one of the very first dog that I started to take care of when I started Mutts In A Rutt. She stuck with me through many transitions in my life. from starting my business out of my parents house, to me buying my own house to now the current house Derrick and I live in. Bella set the standard high for all the dogs I will ever care for. I love you Bella! I hope you are up in heaven running around with your green ball and red frisbee. Rest In Peace girl ❤️
I swear I did not have any peanut butter on my face. They are all just simply that happy to be around me in our home ❤️ #dogsofinstagram #goldenretriever #goldendoodlesofinstagram #labsofinstagram #doodlesofinstagram
Keep calm and chase those frisbees is Roarys life motto
Nellie has to be one of the biggest transformations I have seen since I have been training dogs.
She came into training with leash reactivity, and much needed confidence around new places and people. Even though Nellie knew me before her training she got most of her confidence from her sister, Callie.
So when Nellie was by herself at my house it took her 3 days to finally become comfortable with me. Now we are best friends after I gained her trust.
Nellie in 2 weeks has very minimal reactivity on a leash now and is way more comfortable in unfamiliar situations.
Between all the lessons we did with her owners during the board and train and the progress during sessions with me, Nellie is a much more confident dog.
I cried tears of joy when I did her last take home this past weekend.
Great job as well to her family with working so hard not only with Nellie but also her sister Callie. I’m so happy I was able to work with such a Devoted family to their dogs. I know that they will keep up with the training.
Great Job Nellie, Callie and their family. ❤️

Willa is super food motivated which is amazing! In this exercise we are working how to work on impulse control and release words.
Willa is put in a place command while her food is put in front of her. Usually Willa will go ahead and eat her food right away if you did not tell her to wait. This is the start of working on her impulse control. Whether that is chasing squirrels, chasing cars, or even reactivity towards dogs. This is the start to training your dog to control themselves on their instinct and wait till giving permission.
The second part of this exercise is working on her release command. I train dogs with the release command of “all free”. I say different words in an excited tone to get dogs to understand that they are only released from the command until they hear those words, It’s very important to pick a word that is not thrown around a lot while talking such as “okay”. I also mark her behavior at the end when she is released with “yes”, that way she knows that she did a great job.
Communication is very vital when training your dog. Whether that is verbal,body language or leash handling they all come into play when training a well balanced dog.
