Big news!! With my maternity leave coming soon I wanted to give my website a little revamp so it can work in my absence.

I've updated it to include new programs (including some new puppy options).

Take a look and help me make sure everything looks ok!

Meet Otis!

He’s a young Australian Cattle Dog with a big personality and even bigger feelings. Like a lot of herding breeds, Otis shows his excitement with jumping, mouthing, and trying to control the situation when things feel too fun or too stimulating.

His family loves him, but they’ve been struggling with his pushy behaviors, jumping, nipping, and not listening when he’s amped up.

Here’s the good news: these behaviors aren’t about being “bad.” They’re just energy and impulse without direction. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be teaching Otis how to slow down, listen the first time, and channel all that drive into calm, focused behavior.

Structure brings clarity. Clarity brings calm. And that’s exactly what Otis is learning now.

A little business update regarding maternity leave.

The plan is I will send my last training dog home at the end of November. From there I will be on maternity leave through Dec-Jan. I might take a few boarding/daycare dogs in Feb then taking training clients again in March.

I do have 1 more spot open for training before Dec, if you're interested let me know!

Meet the current training dogs!

Winston the 11 month old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He is reactive and likes to do things on his terms. His owner wants to be able to travel with him more, come when called and overall better manners.

Archie is a 2 year old Mini Schnauzer. He is also reactive. He has nipped at guests in his house. He becomes difficult to control in high stressful moments. His owners wants to help control the biting/nipping, have better leash manners so they can walk him, and have better guest manners since they enjoy hosting and having people over.

Reactivity doesn't mean a dog is aggressive or that they are bad. It usually means they're overwhelmed and don't yet have the skills to handle those big emotions in real life. That's what we're working on, helping them feel more confident, less frantic, and way easier to enjoy on walks.

Diesel graduated from our 3 wk Ultimate Family Pet program this weekend.

When he first showed up for training he was everywhere. Sweet puppy but had very selective hearing and listening only when it was convenient for him. His family wanted a dog that would listen, come when called, and walk calmly no matter where they went.

Now look at Diesel go!
- Coming when called! Even with distractions around!
- Calm and focused on his owners while walking through a public space. (even when it was super busy!)
- Better listening skills even with all the distractions.

This is the foundation we worked on building. He will continue to grow and get bigger and now his owners have the skills to confidently handle him.

So proud of Diesel and excited for all his new adventures with his owners.

Meet Snowball ✨

She is a sweet 2 year old Lab/Pyrenees mix and started her training program with us last week. I'm excited to help her step into a calmer, more confident version of herself.

Her family loves her to pieces, but they’ve been struggling with a few things like leash pulling, barking at strangers, and not listening when she gets nervous or overstimulated. It’s hard to know how to help your dog when their reactions feel unpredictable or intense.

The good news? Snow isn’t aggressive, she’s just unsure. And with the right structure and support, we’re going to help her feel more secure, more responsive, and a lot easier to live with day to day.

We’ll be working on:
✔ Building calm around new people
✔ Better listening skills on leash and off leash
✔ Reducing barking at people and things

Can’t wait to share her progress. She's already making some beautiful shifts.

Next up we have Rev!! He's a bernedoodle! He's a sweet guy but loves to jump and pull. Once you get past the shenanigans he can be a little shy. He's here for our 2 week In Home Manners program!

Now it's time to introduce Louie the Boxer. He's here for our Ultimate Family Pet program. His owners came today for a lesson and he did amazing. Crazy to see the progress he's made in such a short amount of time. He is a silly goofy boy that just needs to learn some impulse control. His owners are going to love his offleash skills!

A Love for Dogs

The Connective Canine came to life when I found my love and passion for empowering owners with the ability to live more free and calming lives with their dogs.

I know first hand how it feels to have a dog that you love, but is driving you crazy. I've been there. I have dealt with the embarrassment of my dog's behaviors. I have dealt with the guilt of considering re-homing. You are not alone with your struggles and there is hope.

I am Devon Albritton owner and creator of The Connective Canine. My husband Chris helps me run the business. My bonus son Noah helps as an added distraction when training.

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Biology and Chemistry (which has nothing to do with my dog training career, but Hey! I did a thing!) I am pursuing a more formal education in dog training and will be attending seminars over the upcoming year to learn from my mentors. I've been training my own dogs since I was 12. For the past 3 years I have been offering services to clients ranging from minor puppy training to the out of control crazy German Shepherd.
