It’s tempting to want to control a high-energy dog through strict rules, but the secret to success? Meeting their energy needs in a positive way!

🐾 Instead of scolding a barking dog, redirect their energy with training games.
🐾 If your dog jumps, reward all four paws on the ground instead of just telling them "no."
🐾 Mental stimulation (like puzzle toys) is just as important as physical exercise.

In my early days of training, I used traditional, punishment-based methods—and I saw firsthand how ineffective they were. When I learned about positive reinforcement, everything changed. I discovered that dogs learn best when they’re motivated and engaged rather than fearful.

✨ That’s why I now focus on making training fun and rewarding—because when dogs enjoy learning, they retain it better!

Did you know my love for dog training started right here in Garrettsville? My very first dog, Heather, was a Shetland Sheepdog that I trained as a child. That experience sparked a lifelong passion for understanding dogs and helping them thrive.

Over the years, I’ve trained everything from border collies to exotic zoo animals, but my heart has always been with helping dogs and their owners build better relationships.

𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞!

Do you find yourself correcting your dog more than praising them? A simple shift in focus can make training so much more effective!

✅ Instead of saying “no jumping,” reward four paws on the ground with a treat or praise.
✅ Instead of pulling on the leash, reward a loose leash every few steps.
✅ Instead of repeating “come” over and over, make coming to you super exciting and rewarding!

Your dog will love learning when you focus on what they’re doing right!
