What’s even better than working with puppies and dogs!? (I know, is there anything better?!) . . . .

It’s getting to work with a former student and his puppy! Meet Rocky! And his people! I am so excited!

Rocky is a 15 week old, Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. He is a sweet heart and a little on the shy side.

While proper socialization is important for all puppies, it’s extra important for Rocky. He was living on a farm and now he’s in an apartment with lots of people, dogs, noises, and smells. It’s all new to him. One of our goals in training will to be to support Rocky as he becomes comfortable in his new world.

He’s also going to be a BIG boy, so leash walking skills is going to be really important too.

I am really looking forward to working with Rocky and his people!

Meet Layla Mae! 😊 She’s a sweet and energetic 10 week old puppy! Layla Mae is smart and eager to learn!

My puppy package is designed to help meet the developmental milestones appropriate for the puppy’s age. I also take into account the specific needs of each individual puppy as well as the goals of their people with each training session.

Some of the things I will be helping Layla Mae and her person with is socialization, recall, potty training, enrichment, crate training, and an introduction to leash walking.

I am looking forward to working with Layla Mae and her person!

Meet Nash and his brother Blue! I am really looking forward to working with Nash and his people!

Nash, like so many of my clients, is an adolescent pup. 😊 Sweet boy! So much energy and not exactly what to do with it all. He is excited and eager to learn!

We are planning on working on some basic skills, coming when called is an important one as well as leash walking. We are also going to work on appropriate interactions with big brother Blue, so everyone is happy.

My training packages come with a snuffle mat from Piggy Poo and Crew, treats Big Daddy Biscuits, and a Best in Dog branded treat pouch from The Doggone Good Clicker Company

I know I have said it before and I am going to say it again . . . I LOVE MY JOB!

I am truly fortunate to have the opportunity to work with some of the very best people and their amazing dogs.

Yesterday I finished up two training packages. I had the pleasure of working with June and her people and Louis and one of his people.

Finishing a training package is bittersweet. While I am sad to see my clients go, it feels really good knowing I was able to help them support their dog and develop their relationship. I also know it is never truly goodbye. 😊

Look at the absolute joy on June’s face as she comes when called! And Louis loves to learn! Pure joy in working on “place”.

A big THANK YOU to all my clients and their pups who give me an opportunity to do what I love!

LET THEM SNIFF!

Dog greetings are often full of enthusiasm and excitement with lots of jumping. I find that using a snuffle mat or a game of “find it” helps to make greetings calmer and more manageable.

Sniffing is relaxing. Most dogs are food motivated and interested in foraging for the treats found in the snuffle mat. I find that they do a little bit of sniffing, come and say “hi” and are easily redirected to sniff some more.

With a Best in Dog training package you get a snuffle mat from Piggy Poo and Crew, a bag of Big Daddy Biscuits, and a Best in Dog branded treat pouch The Doggone Good Clicker Company
