When practice and consistency come together, you get amazing results! Kaya making us proud in New York with her new parents! So proud to be a part of her journey! It’s great to see hard work paying off! Cheers to the good life Kaya! 🫶🏼🐾🐕
On super hot days our training is limited. Very little walking but that doesn’t stop us from becoming the next top dog! Inside ~ Day Training ~ where we are practicing inside the house where manners tend to lack a bit.
Rocky, Duke, Bailey, and Lucy rocking it! Moo & Lilly my little foster girls know the drills. #rescuepups #rwtastudent
When the bell rings 🔔 everyone comes running for school! It’s amazing how these girls remember how to get to school! I believe they wished school was everyday! #rwtastudent #traindontcomplain
Good girls Lucy & Bailey! 🐾❤️
Meet sweet Lillian! Lilly is a precious tiny pint sized husky mix. We believe she’s full grown at just 25 pounds. As you can see Lilly and Alice became fast friends! Both are available for adoption Cypress Lucky Mutt Rescue.
Muzzle training ~ takes time, practice, and patience! It should be fun for them to put on if acclimated properly. A muzzle should allow for eating, drinking, and functioning. If your dog can’t function with it on, take more time training. For Jp it’s used while at the vet with uncomfortable things happening.
JP is doing a fantastic job! #rwtastudent #traindontcomplain #rescuedogs
I’ve been asked, ”how do you walk 2 dogs?!”
🐾 first we need a few foundation skills
🐾 practice one on one
🐾 practice together
Note: neither have ever wore a pinch or shock collar, they are from two different households (just met yesterday)
Loose leash walking takes time and practice. Reward big for big results! 🐾🫶🏼

Loose leash walking takes time, skill, practice, and patience. Harnesses don’t encourage pulling, lack of training does!
This is a happy dog enjoying his walk not fearing a snap, shock, or pinch.
Everyone has an opinion on training styles, this is the method I choose especially when working with rescue dogs that didn’t have a perfect start to life.

Happy Pupdate 🐾
A message from Tillie’s forever family:
“We will forever be thankful for you! I know fostering and training is not easy but you made a huge difference for Tillie!”
I love seeing all my students out living their best lives! Tillie spent several months with us, learning how to trust. Leaving the Academy isn’t easy, finding the right home isn’t always easy, Tilly sure makes it look easy! #rwtastudent #traindontcomplain #rescueismypassion 🐾❤️
If this doesn’t change any uncertainties about Pitbulls nothing will! Not 1 but 2 Cypress Lucky Mutt Rescue pups living the best life in New York with their humans! #raisethemright #educatedontdiscriminate #traindontcomplain
This crushes my heart 💔 Meet Deacon ~ petrified of everything, would rather run away than to be touched. Such a shame what humans can do to animals in just a short time. He’s only about 6 months old. Obviously needs lots of rehabilitation, which is exactly what we will do for him.
It makes me happy to be a part of their journey, but rescues can’t provide training without help from donations. I work with several amazing rescues that don’t give up on these guys, they spend the money to help them. Please consider even a small donation to help Cypress Lucky Mutt Rescue help Deacon. #rwtastudent #rescuetorunway #rescueismypassion
Proud Trainer moment ~ We believe Mr. Teddy has had his share of bad experiences, very possibly while on leash or chained. This guy spent time on death row at Barc.
Today we watched him overcome some fears! It made my heart so happy and so very proud of Teddy’s progress in our program.
Sheba was eager to take on the mission today! Not knowing what to expect, she did some great work. She knows without Stan here she’s back to full-time work! #rwtastudent #rescuetorunway
