Even small dogs can be difficult to handle when they’re reactive to other dogs.

Once again, Diesel is here doing what he does best.

Meadow, the beautiful XL Bully. Super strong and reactive, she was a challenge for her family to handle outside of her home We were able to teach her how to remain calm and focused around people and dogs and show everyone how sweet she really is.

Meadow was here because she was almost impossible to control around other people, and she also was also reactive to other dogs. After a few weeks of training, we couldn’t be prouder of her progress. Thank you Kristi and Miguel for trusting Bullys Behaven!

Thank You for the Love and Support

I want to thank everyone for all the kind messages and condolences following Dash’s passing. He was a member of my family and I am grateful for the joy and memories he brought.

I miss him every day, but I carry on this work in his honor, helping dogs and their families live safer, happier lives together.

I want to let everyone know that losing Dash is not stopping my work. If you’re thinking about training or know someone who needs help, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help, and Dash’s legacy lives on in every dog I work with.

Thank you again for the love

- Mike

REMEMBERING DASH: A GENTLE GIANT WHO CHANGED LIVES

💔 🌈Yesterday, we said goodbye to good boy Dash, our calm, gentle giant who loved meeting people, playing with children, and helping the many reactive dogs that came to us learn to relax and trust.

At 90 lbs, tall and muscular with strong features, Dash may have looked intimidating at first for some, but he had the kindest soul. He played a huge role in our training, helping dogs and people shift their mindset about what’s possible.

We wrote a tribute to honor his legacy and the impact he made on som any people and at Bullys Behaven.

Rest easy, Dash. You were one of a kind.

We honor Dash, a gentle 90-lb pitbull who changed lives by helping reactive dogs learn calm behavior. His legacy continues at Bullys Behaven.
