Potty training strategies really do work!

Stick to it NOW so you don’t have to linger in this pesky housebreaking phase very long. 😉

Not sure how? Check out my previous reel!

If only I had known…

“Down” is often the first word out of our mouths when our dogs are on a forbidden furniture item, or have paws on the counter, or jumping on people, etc.

“Off” is the word we’re actually looking for in those moments!

My advice: preserve “down” for moments when you mean “lie down” and start using “off” when you want them to get off of something. 🥰

When 2/3 of your pack are seniors, loss is inevitable. But that doesn’t make it any easier. 💔

Recently I had to say goodbye to Little Star, my oldest & the reason I became a dog trainer. I sent Star to a board and train many years ago for resource guarding, reactivity, same sex aggression, and being a pot stirrer. Her trainer, a friend of mine, suggested I start going to seminars and learning from others since I was heavily involved in fostering dogs, and usually the quirky ones. 🙃

Star went from being found in Sarajevo to live life to the fullest in the states, a little too full sometimes. 😂 We traveled to 35 states, conquered two cross country moves, and eventually she even willingly joined the rest of the pack by tolerating her ‘sisters.’

Twinks, thank you for keeping me humble, constantly challenging me to learn more about dog behavior, and for staying your true self through it all. 💖💫

These updates never get old. ♥️

What are your goals with your dog?

Farmers market? Calm walks in the park? Netflix and chill without barking? Crate without drama? Welcome guests confidently?

Whatever it is, I hope these alumni updates from my clients reassure you that your goals are possible.

If you’re in the Newark, Delaware area, I’d love to help. I am accepting new private lessons clients and my next group class starts on 9/13!

Link in bio to inquire about either. Hope to meet you soon. ❤️‍🔥

Advice is free ❤️‍🔥

I’ll be posted up at my fav coffee spot, , from 3-4pm on Saturday, August 30th.

I’ll have my fav drink, the Froot Loop Latte, with me (try it, it’s the best!).

I’m here to chat with anyone who has questions about their dog. You can pick my brain as much as you want!

Here are some questions I’ve answered for others:

❓How can I teach my dog to be calm and mannerly in dog-friendly places?

❓How to get that off leash recall??

❓Why is my dog still pottying in the house?

❓How do I get my dog to stop barking at the neighbors through the backyard fence?

And more!! I’m also happy to advise on proactive questions like bringing a new dog into the family, caring for an aging dog, preparing for a pet sitter, etc.

I’m here for you, so come on out and chat!

Tired of the canine chaos? Let’s restore calm!

My journey to become a dog trainer began as a journey to restore calm to my own household. I had two dogs with serious aggression issues, and I knew something had to change if I wanted to keep everyone safe, healthy and happy. I sent one of my dogs to a board & train program and when she was ready to come home I soaked up all the knowledge I could from our trainer. I committed to making the changes necessary to keep her in the best behavioral shape possible—and the results blew me away! This inspired me to embark on a journey to learn as much about dog behavior as possible, and ultimately set me on the path to becoming a dog trainer myself.

I chose to name my business “Chaos to Calm” because that phrase best represents what balanced training has done for my household. What was once chaos was now calm—calmer than I ever thought possible! It is no exaggeration to say that balanced training has changed all of our lives for the better, and that is what I hope to share with others.

If you need help with your dog, I hope you’ll reach out. I can be reached here on Facebook or through my website, ChaostoCalmK9Training.com. I look forward to meeting you!
