This month I have two 4 month old Malinois puppies to train. Today is Day 3 of Ahsoka’s Board and Train. I get Rex next week when Ahsoka goes home and then switch off again for 2 more weeks. Ahsoka’s progress is impressive in only half a week. 🤩

She’s learning manners, such as sit, down, touch, recall, place and not jumping up, along with foundational work such as potty training, crate training, socialization (exposure to new sights, smells, & sounds), bite inhibition, relaxation, body handling, desensitization and counter conditioning. 🤓

If you need help with your pup, message me for more info or to book a training consultation. I also do boarding and day care! 🐶💫

[I’m Vely (pronounced Vee-Lie) a certified rewards based trainer in Lakeland, Florida. What does rewards based mean? Making training fun for you and your dog while building a stronger bond. I find ways to motivate your dog to engage and learn using food, treats, toys, play, and life rewards such as things like getting to go outside, getting to play with other dogs, getting to meet people, etc. I don’t use uncomfortable force, prongs, or e-collars. I’m an advocate for ethical and humane ways to train dogs.]

Hi Pawrents! If you’ve ever wanted to come check out my business come see me December 14th. I will be offering free treats as always to anyone who stops by with their pup.

My new business cards are punch cards. If you buy 5 runs you get one free.

Previous clients please send me a message if I haven’t reached out to you yet.

I won’t be offering any new clients a run at this event but you can book a run in your home. I’ve come to realize there are too many distractions for a quality experience for your pup with their first run. I want your pup to receive the best time and that means from now on that time must be an in home experience. I am a new business and I’m still learning what does and doesn’t work. This is one of them.

Intro runs are now $25 and range between 20-30 minutes depending on how fast your pup learns the treadmill. Some dogs get on and run right away and some need a little encouragement with words. They get to choose their own pace since my treadmills are dog powered.

After that I offer 30 minute runs for $50.

Once I’ve met your dog I can also offer in home runs while you are away as long as your dog is accessible.

I am licensed and insured and only provide the best environment with top of the line equipment for your pup. I have air conditioning for the hot days and heat for when it’s freezing.

My forever baby. 🍼

This is 5 year old Mr. Wilson, the face of Starshine Canine and also my heart dog. He’s demoing that a baby wrap can be perfect for small dogs scared of fireworks. It works similar to a thunder jacket where constant gentle pressure is applied to release oxytocin and endorphins. A more natural relief than medication. 🤍

Mr. Wilson used to be fine with fireworks up until a couple years ago when we were at a Wild West theme park in North Carolina and he heard rapid loud gun shots. Now, he has ptsd. 🫣 Dogs can develop new fears at any age, so prepare to always be their guiding light to get through it. 🐶💫

Message me for more info or to book a training consultation. I also do boarding and day care! Have a FURtastic 4th of July, Star Fam! Have loads of fun and stay safe! 🐶💫

Xander, a 5 month old mini Goldendoodle is here for a 4 day board & train. While I don’t normally do board & trains less than 7 days, his owner was originally seeking help because Xander was playing too rough with their 2 year old mini Goldendoodle and was interested my day train services. Since she had to go out of town and needed boarding anyway, I agreed to help start the foundations of meeting new dogs with monitored play, learning to take breaks, learning how to work on food puzzles and play with a flirt pole, reinforcing his current cues of sit and down, and learning the “touch” cue which will transition to “come.”

He leaves tomorrow and has made great progress so far! Message me for more info or to book a consultation. I also do boarding and day care! Have a spectacular Sunday, Star Fam! 🐶💫

MEET YOUR TRAINER‼️
Hey there! I’m Vely (pronounced vee-lie), a CTA Certified Dog Trainer (CCDT) accredited through Catch Canine Trainers Academy. I’m also pet first aid and CPR certified. I use rewards based training methods, that means no aversives such as prongs or electronic collars.

My journey to dog training started in 2019 when I rescued Mr. Wilson, a 4 month old toy Aussie that recently recovered from a fractured leg. After teaching Mr. Wilson over 100 tricks, I rescued a Border Collie (Astrid) and began teaching her tricks as well. When undesired behaviors arose with my dogs, I dabbled into behavior modification training. I soon realized I had a passion for dog training and wanted to help other pet owners build a strong relationship with their dog as I did with Mr. Wilson whom became my heart and soul dog.

In 2021 I began offering overnight boarding/day care at my home and fostered for a rescue to gain experience with different breeds while continuing my canine education. A year later, I began offering dog training services. I specialize in puppy training, trick training, obedience behaviors, and mild reactivity/ behavior modifications. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, skateboarding with my dogs, going to concerts, and spending time with my husband and our family of 4 dogs. I look forward to helping you bring out the best in your dog and cultivate a fun and loving relationship. 💟
