Spending alot more time at my desk
Signed my acceptance letter to veterinary school today
I signed my letter of acceptance to vet school today. Talking about why I decided to apply in the first place, and how I am working diligently, so I am prepared both financially and education wise. #dogtrainer #veterinarian #vetschoolat50
A little overwhelmed right now
Soo excited to have been accepted into veterinary school. This is something I have wanted since I was a a little kid but life took some detours. (why I ended up devoting my life to helping dogs as a trainer the past 30 years) Reality is, once you get something you always wanted it can be very confusing and scary. But very very exciting! #dogtrainer #futureveterinarian
Flirt pole exercise with Rottweiler
Flirt pole exercise with my Rottweiler, Susitna. It is essential to have a daily physical and mental exercise, plan for your dog. #dogtrainer
Fetch & Train with Rottweiler
Last round of Fetch and train with Su today! #dogtrainer #rottweiler
Rottweiler training
Basic obedience with my Rottweiler #dogtrainer #rottweiler
Minnie is going to be my helper today with client dogs. She is very excited because she knows her travel bag means we are going to do something together. I briefly take her through the steps before loading her into my car. Admittedly, I repeat, commands a few times and say extraneous words which I tell my clients constantly not to do. A good Dog Trainer is self-aware and learns from their mistakes with humility versus defending and making excuses for not giving the most of their effort at all times or working on achieving to do so. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #thedogsavant #balancedtraining #positivereinforcement #yorkshireterrier
Morning tug with Rottweiler
Rottweilers (and most dogs) love to chase, bite, and tug. Your dog is hard wires to be a hunter and killer. Not a fur-baby! #dogtraining #rottweiler #furbaby
Intense fetch and tug with Yorkshire terrier
First time Minnie wanted to play with the big dog toy. It weighs as much as her! #yorkie #yorkshireterrier #cutedog #fetch #dogtraining
Long distance training with Rottweiler
500 ft. distance Implied Down command to recall. In video I get excited & say it's 1000 feet. But it's more like 500. Still an impressive performance by Big Su! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #balancedtraining #positivereinforcement #rottweiler #thedogsavant
Another day of training dogs
Just an update on some of the cases I'm seeing today and structure of how I work with clients. #dogtraining #dogtrainer
