Meeting humans where they are.
My amazing client walks with a stick due to neuropathy, which makes traditional handling tricky. So, we adapted.
Instead of focusing on perfect leash skills, we built relevance through:
✅ Walks—teaching the dog to check in rather than pull
✅Play—making engagement fun and natural
✅ Eye contact—creating connection and relevancy.
Day 8 with Angel from @chinadogsflytousa I have been working her through her fear and doing exercises to build her confidence. I took her to the park today and she got nervous and triggered a flight drive. I went into the Jentle method to slow her down a bit and she relaxed. Practice - practice- patience- training- calm- confident.
Day 3 working long line and building more confidence
Not letting her hide away
Packing her in with me
Contrast of feeling
It’s all good - you don’t have to hide away
Brought her to her place to hide after working with long line and she makes the decision not to go
Viola!
Available for adoption through @chinadogsflytousa

This sweet 2 year old golden girl was rescued by @chinadogsflytousa - she was rescued from the China meat trade along with 9 other dogs. I was contacted by the rescue to help with her- she was shutdown and living in that state for 7 days- the journey begins… follow me here to see what the healing looks like.

Freedom!
It took a lot of work to get here.
When my clients ask “how long will
It take until my dog does……the answer is always the same-
Depends on how much work-practice- commitment and follow through you have with training
I can get your dog to do these things but the human guardian is the one that continues this work daily!

Experiencing stress with other dogs.
I brought Indy in to help.
My client wanting to use @oregontails Jentle method that we went over on our last session. He just went into it and Indy and I followed. We talked about energy and balance- it all worked out well!
This is an exercise in energy. I wanted to see if Indy would follow Jess just based on her energy and leadership with him.
Healthy play.
Many clients ask me about this. What it is- how to know if your dog is a good fit for the other play buddy- watch their body language- also be an advocate for your dog. If things get to rough know how to recall your dog out of play.
Once you establish leadership and relationship with your dog all else falls into place. #dogbehavior #healthyplay #dogsofinstagram #leadership #dogtrainingtips
