How big is your leash??

We should be able to safely and comfortably walk a 60+lb dog on a 1/4 - 1/2inch wide leash! None of these giant horse-rope leashes, harnesses with leashes attached all over and even those giant "no pull harnesses". Why? If you go out ready for a rodeo you're going to get a rodeo.

Giant or heavy duty leashes, collars and harnesses tell your brain you're up for a struggle with your monster of a dog. Your mindset really affects how you handle your dog and how you handle your dog affects their behavior. Treat them like they need heavy duty handling and it will be hard to get your brain to embrace that you can do it with a pinky - and hard to convince *them* you don't want a rodeo.

Another benefit is that walking them on a leash not much bigger than a shoe string makes your brain think about how to not pull on your dog - "yikes, what if the leash breaks?!" - so you learn better ways to walk with them. You learn to use your voice, your body, your expressions to keep your pup with you.

A soft, slack, tiny leash is a beautiful way to show that your relationship with your dog is healthy and happy.

And you can get that! Call us and get the relationship with your dog that makes people stare at how well behaved he is.

Easy, fun training for dogs and their people!

A friend dared me to video a message about my dog training business - "right now! No lights, no makeup, no nuthin'" What do you think? Ok, so I forgot to give my website... Lol! But I did get my phone number in there near the end, yay me! You can schedule a call at Www.homeschooledhounds.com to talk to me about your dog and what needs to change or you can call me directly or text or pm.

Stay while I make a fuss over someone. 😁

We have to make sure our dogs REALLY understand Stay, even when we're busy doing something else. So proud of these students!

It's NEVER too late! For her entire 8 years Tillie screamed and barked and spun and flipped at the end of the leash any time she saw a person or stroller or especially a dog. Even though her dad really wanted to take her for walks and to get a coffee or have lunch, obviously this curtailed her activities because no one enjoyed it (especially her!). Her dad tried! He asked for advice and hired trainers. After working with her, TWO other trainers told him that it was hopeless, that he wouldn't be able to fix her problems, that she would be happy enough staying home in the backyard. 🤔😱 He knew what a good, loving girl she was but it was impossible for them to even get to their sidewalk without her flipping out. He was frustrated! After all, she was 8 years old and maybe they were right... But! Her vet recommended one last ditch option. He knew Trish was back in the area and had specialized experience with this kind of problem. Her vet knew there was a very good chance Trish could fix it. If not, Tillie would miss out on all the fun of seeing the world for her next 8 years too... So her dad called Trish and now Tillie is joyfully meeting people, walking past other dogs, she's not afraid of men anymore, she walks around downtown and the farmer's market, goes for coffee and is living a fun and happy life. If you know someone with a dog that's not being able to live a full and fun life on walks or in the house because of fear, crazy leash behavior, aggression or any other reason, help them out. Let them know Trish can and will help. She guarantees the results.

Does your dog have issues that you'd like to get started on right now "but December is so busy...!" I can help. I have TWO open spots in my December program schedule I can do this with. (The third to last spot was just taken by a person with a very scary dog we're already well on our way to fixing.) Here's the deal - IF YOU RESERVE YOUR PROGRAM BEFORE DECEMBER 1st you will get an extra month of FREE group walks or lessons. That way we can start getting results right now but you won't feel pressured to get it all done right now.

And I made someone smile too! Call me! Don't waste another day wishing your dog was better! 803-574-3647 or go to my website and learn more. www.homeschooledhounds.com/start-here

Look what happened today! I made someone cry but in a good way! This is a part of my program for reactive or fearful dogs. You can get in on one yourself and feel this good. www.homeschooledhounds.com/start-here

To this... (couldn't get it into the comments! Technology hates me tonight.)

From this.... ("to this" in the next post and in the comments) in just a few days. Yay Julie and Strider! Awesome work. I'm so proud! Julie is awesome; working mom, three young boys, FIRST DOG! In the Remote Training Classroom she read the lessons, did what they say, asked great questions and is well on her way to guiding her puppy into a great dog.

Yep, Lassie.

I really do want everyone to be as happy as Lassie and her family. Yep, it’s maybe a pipe dream but I’m making a difference one dog at a time. As a trainer in the Bay area for decades I’ve learned about the difference between what a trainer wants a dog to be and what a family wants their dog to be. So I’ve morphed over the years and am sure to put your family’s needs over my training ideology. I know that we really just want our dogs to BE GOOD. We don’t want to have to micromanage by telling them what to do all day every day. You shouldn’t have to tell them to Sit for everything, they’re smarter than that! They absolutely can learn to know what to do and not just “Watch me” (oh, I hate that command... want to know why? Give me a call! (408)710-2883) or Place (ugh, same thing). What I do: Change bad behavior by teaching life skills like - *No more leash pulling! *No more barking and growling on walks *No more jumping on people *Come when called *Use good manners in the house For people in my teaching programs I offer special classes in: Rally Obedience Nose Work Temptation Alley (Come no matter what’s on either side!) Canine Good Citizen Who I do this for: People in the San Francisco Bay area with dogs that * just need help to be the great dog their family knows they can be Special Work with: *Dogs that behave aggressively *Dogs that are fearful or shy *Dogs that are “anti social” *Dogs that have been turned away from classes by other trainers What I don’t do: *show or competitive Obedience *Protection Dogs DON'T keep wasting time and energy on methods that don't work. click the call button and give me a call or send me a message to get a free phone consultation. I have new programs starting soon, let’s get going!
