I don’t like that the dog training professionals are in constant battles with each other. But I have hopefully made it clear to my clients and potential clients that Force, Fear, Pain and Coercion are NOT needed. I do think this post is clear and thought it’s worth sharing.

In a time when many dog trainers shy away from taking a clear stand against aversive methods, ’s message is bold and unambiguous:

Either you are okay using pain, fear, and discomfort in dog training, or you are not.

For Victoria, the answer is a firm “No.” And that is based on modern ethics and evidence.

Her stance is straightforward: no dog, not even “extreme” cases, should be coerced into compliance through fear or pain when positive, force-free methods are proven to be more humane and effective.

Victoria’s words are a call to action. It’s time for the dog training community to reject outdated practices and speak out against those professionals in the industry who still defend and promote them to a vulnerable public.

Another fun night of parkour I think the dogs and their owners are having a great time.

Happy international Dog Day! Let’s see your pups too!!

08/24/2024

I think the pups hate coming and playing Parkour. 😂🤣. We have fun and each pup is building their confidence. I have the best clients! (Didn’t get a picture of everyone 🤦🏼‍♀️!

Titan is also new. He’s a mix of a number of
guard dog breeds so when people come into the house that are not immediate family he struggles a bit to know what to do. He is a young puppy so we are doing a lot of confidence building and pattern games. The ‘obedience’ will come as he trusts other people and realizes he doesn’t have be ‘on guard’ every minute.

Wally had joined our group too! He’s a fun loving young cavapoo. Here are some shots from our session yesterday. Training should be fun and engaging for everyone!

When you find the right motivation and you practice your leash skills clear up quickly. Otis and Jill are a great team!

Welcome Layla and her family to our family! Layla is a beautiful Rottweiler who’s 10 months old. She is learning that people aren’t scary and it’s fun to learn. She even ignored the cat that wanted to get her treats today. Even when said cat thought it might be a good idea to get up on the gate Layla was able to ‘Leave -it’ and get cookies!! So excited to see all she is going to learn!!!

We had a lot of fun yesterday playing parkour! All dogs were doing fun things using positive reinforcement! No need to force a sit stay these pups and their owners had a great time and they were tired after using their brains!

08/10/2024

Do you want your dog to have manners? Do you want something more than forced place cues? Well here is a sample of all these pups doing something appropriate and using their manners and NOT one of them is on a shock collar WHAT🤯! Not one of them is being scolded! They are all having fun 🤯! This is what good positive reinforcement training looks like!!

So on Monday I recruited a few clients that are actually friends and we did a photoshoot with Captured Moments Photography! Courtney was up for the challenge and did an amazing job capturing what I was hoping to get! The photos will be used in a lot of ways! If you are looking for a photographer contact them!! There isn’t a bad picture!!

Shiloh and Boaz are how it feels after a nice long day of trainings! New pups starting! Shiloh is also resting up for her new skill set she will be learning! I was so busy with the new pups today I didn’t even snap a picture 🤦🏼‍♀️ next session I will!

Cleaning up some leash skills with Otis yesterday. He loves all dogs and people. He made a huge change in 30 minutes sometimes it’s having them remember they know how to do the skill.

07/31/2024

Shiloh did a quick trip with me yesterday to replenish some treats. All I said was you’ll have to work and she puts herself in a heel and then sits while in line. This is obedience but it’s more of a natural life skill we use often. If you wish your dog would do something like this you know what to do. Message me.

New puppy owners these are really good teething treats. They do come in different flavors but the pumpkin flavor has added benefits of probiotics.

What to talk about having a dog that can go just about anywhere with you? Well Shiloh and I were invited to Skye’s birthday party he just turned 1 he’s a client. Well, Shiloh only knew Skye and his brother and sister. There 5 other dogs there she NEVER met and their owners. Having taught her skills where I can let her off leash and wander with the others and people ZERO fear of her running from the area. This is because I have taught her how to be ok with a lot of things and the biggest thing I will say I taught her was to be ok to hang out. Are trainers talking about these skills enough? I don’t think so some are of course but the majority are preaching obedience! Nope I don’t need obedience I need and want my dog and others to have the dog that can hang out with them. If you want that send me a message or text me.

This is very normal and appropriate puppy & dog play. Shiloh is on the bottom and Boaz is on the top. They switch roles often. Shiloh allows him to use his mouth and jump on her because she knows he’s a baby needs to learn how to play. Who’s interested in some videos of appropriate play? Yes they bark or grumble because that’s also how they communicate.
