Sweet Nova has made tremendous progress in the last year.
Her owners have stayed committed to her plan and put in the work to get her from reactive to both people and dogs…to this. They were out enjoying the Phoodery this weekend. 🥰
Our first session together the sight of a person or dog far off would set her into a frenzy.
So proud of Nova and excited to see her continued adventures.

Sorry for all the short clips but I had to make them “text” size.
Amazing behavior out in the stores today. He was unphased by the people, a few loud booms in Bi-Mart but he handled it well. What a good boy.

Bed and crates are a place to decompress and of safety. All dogs that come here are taught not to approach another’s crate or beds stay. It’s rude. And by protecting/advocating for their peace they are more relaxed in their place. Otis is doing a great job in his place work despite who or what is going on. He has graduated from needing to be back tied as he has continued to show the desired behavior.

Calm is a learned skill. We are doing decompression work with Oliver. He is GREAT at working, following, cuddling and finding things to do but he doesn’t have a great “off” switch. This is a great activity to practice with your dog. Oliver has had all his needs met and he is back tied so he isn’t able to wonder away from his bed. I am not putting him in any sort of spoken command, simply ignoring the whining, the anxiousness about not being able to follow me around and letting him get comfortable with being bored. Resume your lifestyle as normal.This overall process took about 30 minutes of him pacing and not settling to a calm resting state. the more you practice this the faster they will learn to settle.Only start this activity if you are committed to seeing it through, patience is key. You don’t want to release them when they are not fully settled.

We have done lots of play and leash work today to help develop our relationship. This is part of his second “place” session.
I am free shaping this behavior. There is no commands right now, just some initial food luring and then patiently waiting for him to offer the behavior I want and marking accordingly.
He will be using this “place” command in the future quite a lot as we start to work on his impulse control.

Meet Otis!
He is here for a private stay and train.
He comes from a farm and is going to be tuning up some off leash basic obedience as well as working on people and dog neutrality.
Currently he charges new people coming into the home and charges after other dogs.

Lost dog.
A few people were going door to door with her, they originally found her on Prune street. They walked all surrounding neighborhoods and no one knew who she was.
I took her to the vet, she didnt have a collar and she is not microchipped. I am currently caring for her until her human is found. I have registered her as a “found” dog through JC humane society.

My girl Nesta and I had a great day on the field at club. It sure felt good to be back out and in the sunshine ☀️ with some amazingly talented handlers.
🙏🏼Thank you 🙏🏼 Rogue Valley Shutzhund for all the help and guidance as we prepare her for her BH in May, it takes a village. 🤣🥰

I am currently booking private train and stays for June as I take some much needed time away to govus on my pups and to prepare them for trial.
♨️I am still booking private house calls!
