No Harm No Foul Dog Training LLC

06/25/2025

Hello all! With my senior lil man’s passing I am finally getting back in the swing of things. With his passing I also have potentially changed my long term plans with my current pet sitting service offerings! I have decided I am looking for 2 - 3 people or families who are in need of a long term professional dog trainer who would also provide drop in visits as needed, and would stay at their home to pet sit for their dog(s) when they are away. I currently have 3 clients who I am offering these type of services to long term and I have absolutely loved it, and my clients seem to be very pleased as well so I would love to expand on this type of long term client relationship at this time!

Ideally this would be most beneficial for a dog with sensitivities, potentially departure related stress and a household that is busy or travels fairly frequently! The only week I will no matter what never be available for this my over night pet sitting service is 4th of July week and weekend! (Although this year my entire July is booked for pet sitting. I am only offering drop in , or dog training sessions. My pet sitting books are back open for August!)

Are you or someone you know in need of such services? If so, please reach out, or leave a comment or tag on this post! My dog training business is No Harm No Foul Dog Training LLC. No force. No fear. Just science!

Feel free to check out my page and my google reviews!

Also - This is ✨Brody✨.
One of my current furry clients who has been through my private training sensitive dog training program, has been enjoying my enrichment drop in visits often, and I also come to his home to stay with him when his parents go out of town! ♥️🐾

No more farting around! Noise phobia is not something they will just “out grow” or “get over”.

The best single thing you can do to help a dog who is afraid of fireworks is to see your veterinarian. Do it now, before the noisy holidays arrive.

Your pet’s emotional tank is always in flow — filling and emptying throughout the day.

Every experience your pet has, from a noisy neighbour to a lack of rest, adds to the tank. Left unchecked, that full tank can spill over into stress-related behaviours like reactivity, withdrawal, or even aggression.

This graphic highlights two essential truths:
1. All events and stimuli can fill the tank — including things we may overlook, like hunger, being denied choice, punishment based learning or not having proper outlets for natural behaviours.

2. All pets need healthy ways to empty the tank — through rest, enrichment, species-appropriate activities, reinforcement based training, and pain management.

When we balance the flow, we set the stage for emotional wellness, safety, and trust.

✨ The goal isn't an empty tank — it's a regulated one.

🐶 Why Do Dogs Hump? Spoiler: It’s Not About Dominance 🐶

Let’s talk about the awkward moment when your dog decides to throw it back—on another dog, a pillow, or your unsuspecting guest’s leg. Contrary to popular belief, hu***ng isn’t about “dominance.” In fact, science says otherwise.

🧠 The Real Reasons Behind Dog Hu***ng
1. Excitement or Overstimulation – Dogs often hump when they’re amped up, like during play or greetings. Think of it as an energy overflow.
2. Stress or Anxiety – Hu***ng can be a displacement behavior, like humans biting their nails or pacing during a Zoom call.
3. Attention-Seeking – Some dogs figure out that mounting = humans instantly notice them. Even if it’s, “OH MY GOD, STOP THAT!”
4. Play Behavior – Puppies and adolescent dogs might hump during play. It’s part of learning how bodies (and boundaries) work.
5. Medical Causes – Sometimes it’s not behavioral at all. UTIs, skin irritation, or hormone shifts can make hu***ng feel… necessary.

😂 A Lighthearted Reminder

Your dog isn’t trying to reenact Game of Thrones. They’re either overstimulated, under-stimulated, or just… a little weird. Same, honestly.

🛑 What You Can Do About It
• Redirect the Behavior: If you see it starting, guide your dog toward another activity or toy.
• Teach Helpful Cues: Use cues like “sit,” “leave it,” or “go find your toy” to interrupt the moment without shame or punishment.
• Don’t Punish: Punishing hu***ng can increase anxiety, which might make it worse.
• Talk to a Pro: If it’s excessive or out of context, check with a vet or behavior professional to rule out medical issues or develop a training plan.

Dogs deserve trainers who understand their unique needs and behaviours.

Professional trainers must observe, ask questions, and approach each situation thoughtfully, rather than rushing to conclusions.

When we prioritize the dog’s well-being over ‘quick fixes,’ we ensure a compassionate and effective training process.

Every single detail matters when it comes to creating an appropriate training plan with a dog. Especially when it comes to a dog who has experienced trauma, stress, poor socialization, a mother who gave burg under stressful conditions, medical struggles, procedures, etc. The only way you can help a dog like that is by slowly, isolating exposure to certain variables to collect more precise data in order to help the dog in the real world, eventually. Trying to teach a dog behaviors right off the bat when they are experiencing stress in a busy environment is like if a teacher said, “Hey guys! We are going to learn advanced calculus at a club on a Saturday night!” And then test the students the next week on what they learned and when most fail the test the teacher blames them for not being smart enough, or calling them stubborn or defiant.

Meeting your dog where they are at will produce so much more peace and security in your relationship! Therefore training will go a lot smoother, for both of you! 👏👏👏

Hypervigilance: Why is it a concerning behaviour?

In humans, this is a condition in which the nervous system is inaccurately filtering sensory information and the individual is in an enhanced state of sensory sensitivity. This appears to be linked to a dysregulated nervous system which can often be caused by traumatic events or complex PTSD. Hypervigilance may bring about a state of increased anxiety which can cause exhaustion. Other symptoms include high responsiveness to stimuli and constant scanning of the environment.

Does your dog suffer from this behaviour?
