🐾 Why It’s Important to Interview Your Dog Trainer 🐾

One of the most important — and often surprising — things to know about dog training is that it isn’t a regulated profession. That means anyone can call themselves a dog trainer, regardless of their education, experience, or understanding of canine behavior.

Unfortunately, this can lead to confusion and even harm if outdated or punishment-based methods are used. A trainer’s approach can have a lifelong impact on your dog’s confidence, trust, and emotional wellbeing.

Choosing a dog trainer isn’t just about who’s closest or cheapest — it’s about finding the right fit for you and your dog. Every trainer has their own style, education, and philosophy, and that can make a big difference in your dog’s progress and your overall experience.

Just like you’d interview a babysitter or teacher, you should interview your dog trainer, too! This helps ensure your goals align, your values match, and that your dog will be trained in a way that’s safe, humane, and effective.

Here are a few important questions to ask when interviewing a potential trainer:

✅ What methods and tools do you use — and why?
✅ What kind of education or certifications do you have? (Don't be afraid to ask for a copy of this)
✅ How do you handle unwanted behaviors like barking, pulling, or reactivity?
✅ Can I be involved in the training process?
✅ How do you set dogs up for success during training?
✅ Do you offer ongoing support after sessions end?
✅ Can you share success stories or client references?

Remember, a good trainer will welcome your questions and happily explain their process. Transparency and communication are key to building trust — for both you and your dog! 🐶💛

👉 Taking the time to find the right trainer sets you and your pup up for a lifetime of success together.

🎓🐾 Graduation Time for Sadie! 🐾🎓

Sadie has officially graduated from Behavioral Adjustment Training! 🎉 While she’s not quite at her final goal yet, the progress she’s made already is incredible. Her bond with her owners has grown so much, and their walks have become calmer and more enjoyable! 💕

We’ll definitely be seeing each other again soon to keep building on that progress — next up, helping Sady feel relaxed during car rides and fine-tuning her leash skills even more. 🐶✨

So proud of this sweet girl and her dedicated family for all their hard work! 💪❤️

🎓🐾 Graduation Time for Acadia & Sandy! 🐾🎓

These two amazing pups have officially completed their third and final course — Advanced Obedience! 💪

It’s been incredible to watch their progress from basic manners all the way to mastering reliability. Their bond with their humans has grown so much along the way, and now they’re getting ready to take on their AKC testing! 🎉

⭐ Acadia will be testing to earn her AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy title, showing off all her hard work and great behavior.
🏅 Sandy is preparing for her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test — a huge milestone that proves she’s a polite and well-mannered member of the community.

We’re so proud of both girls and can’t wait to cheer them on as they take this next big step! 💕🐶👏

🐾 My heart is so full right now! 🥹💖

About a year ago, I worked with this amazing family and their dog — who just so happened to be my very first aggressive case. Together, we built trust, communication, and confidence, and seeing how far they’ve come still makes me so proud. 🐶✨

Recently, I found out their daughter still remembers me and even drew a picture of me! 🖍💛 She told her parents she wants to be a dog trainer when she grows up — cue the happy tears! 🥹

Moments like this remind me that dog training doesn’t just change dogs — it inspires the next generation of compassionate, patient, and dog-loving humans too. 💕

BRAIN UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The challenges of the teenage dog.

There’s a saying that most parents of teenagers can relate to - "Parents of teenagers understand why some animals eat their young!"

The changes that happen in the brain of a teenage dog are not that different to a human teenager.

The brain undergoes a period of "pruning" and "re-wiring". This process can cause some parts not to work, work sporadically or work too much.

To describe it in the simplest of terms -the prefrontal cortex of a teenage brain is at the “back of the queue” in this process. It’s still “under construction” and still developing. This area of the brain is responsible for making “logical” decisions, controlling impulses, learning, remembering, problem solving and social interaction.

Because the prefrontal cortex is being reconstructed, the brain relies more on a part called the amygdala to make choices and react.
The amygdala is involved in the “big feelings” we may see - emotional responses like fight or flight, anxiety, excitement, reactivity, impulse control and instinctive behaviour.

Being aware of the physical changes the teenage brain is going through in the process of maturing, helps us to be more understanding and accepting.

Statistics show that many dogs are surrendered or re homed during the teenage stage as their owners no longer “like” the way their dog behaves, can’t handle them or just give up on them.

Please don’t give up on your teenage dog. We need to manage our expectations and frustrations during this phase.

Understand and acknowledge what is happening in their brain. Help them through this stage with patience, consistency, love and acceptance.

🎓🐾 Graduation Alert! 🐾🎓

This super excited pup just graduated from Basic Obedience and is already bouncing into Intermediate Obedience! 🎉

We’re so proud of all the progress made — from learning manners to building focus and communication with their humans. Next up, we’ll be fine-tuning those boundaries and tackling that sneaky habit of counter surfing 😅

🌲🐾 Family Adventure at Acadia National Park!🐾🌲

Even trainers need a little time to recharge — and what better way than exploring the beauty of Acadia with family (and of course, the dogs)! Adventures like these remind us why we do what we do — strengthening the bond between people and their pups through trust, communication, and shared experiences.

Training isn’t just about obedience — it’s about creating a partnership that lets you confidently explore the world together. Whether you’re hiking mountains or strolling through town, a well-trained dog makes every moment that much more special.🧡
