We firmly believe that all dogs need a foundation in obedience. We are not common dogs.”
He wasn’t.

In our experience, many problematic behaviors can be prevented by an obedience-based understanding and respect between the dog and their family. Additionally, the path to eliminating existing problem behaviors also starts with structured obedience. Our job is to help you and your dog become a great team - a great companion while you’re binging TV, a polite host when guests come to your home, a bud

dy to go with you to the local brewery, or a workout partner on that jog at the park. The original "Not Common Dog" was a German Shepherd named Duncan. He came to Mallori at 4 years old with awkward social skills, extreme (extreme) situational anxiety, and limited housedog experience. Throughout his lengthy training process she always told him: “You’re better than this. And neither is yours. They’re exceptional. We just have to show them what we want.

I know we're all feeling wiped, but it's - it's time to love our community.
I am passionate about the work going on at The Homeless Alliance.

❗️Email me proof of any donation (monetary or clothing) you make to The Homeless Alliance between now and the new year to enter a raffle for 1 FREE private lesson.

Here's a link to learn what they need, but I know that new underwear, new socks, new warm hats, gloves, men's pants (especially smaller sizes), winter coats, and blankets are welcome - especially as the weather gets colder. https://www.homelessalliance.org/donate-items

If you'd like to drop clothing donations off to me, I'm happy to deliver them!

❗️Additionally, Offbeat Obedience will match your monetary donations up to $500.

Being unhoused is complex. It is far more complicated than "get a job" - I encourage everyone to learn more about the reality of transitioning out of homelessness. The Homeless Alliance is a great place to start learning, donating, or volunteering.

One entry per person; drawing for 1 free lesson will be announced on Facebook on January 5th. Lessons can be for your or can be gifted as a set or individually to other families.

Grand Blvd Park Squirrel Patrol , a.k.a. The Offbeat Pack, worked on impulse control and slowing things down today.

Redirecting a dog from a hardwired desire to chase squirrels is tough! These guys are rockstars!

Meet Bonnie! Look at those attentive eyes!
This girl is already showing me how smart she is and it's going to be a blast working with her over the next few weeks. She's big but she's just a puppy. She's silly, sassy, and eager to please.

As always, you can watch Bonnie's progress in the stories here or on the Offbeat Obedience Instagram page.

Today's Pack Walk theme was hiking, but the skills can be applied to any casual walk with freedom of movement, a campsite, a field... Sniffari skills!

The Pack has homework:
1) Stay Close: enjoy freedom, but stay within a radius of the human
2) Wait: stop any motion that isn't toward the human
3) Alternating from a casual walk to a heel

Have I mentioned the Pack Walks are only $5?
After working with me to establish some foundational skills, Pack Walks are an awesome way to continue proofing your training.

These are not common walks and these are

LEAP (Learn Everything At-home Program) is a faster-track cooperative training program that combines the best parts of a board-and-train program with the personal attention of private lessons - without removing your dog from home.

I come to your house and train your dog 3 times a week, then meet with you on Friday to discuss progress and assign homework for the weekend. If you're interested in learning more, let me know if you'd like more detailed information.

I only have 1 spot remaining for December’s LEAP session! I also have a-la-cart appointments available between now and Christmas!

Are your dogs ready to greet guests at the front door without running down the street or jumping on your granny? Are they ready for the temptation of an unattended mashed potatoes?

There is still time to work on household holiday manners, but we need to start now.

Here's a great Halloween infographic from the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

I want to see your costumes this year!! Human or dog! Post below!!

⚠️Wind advisory today!⚠️

Be sure to check your fences and gates before letting your dogs out to potty!

It’s time for the annual Halloween safety reminder!

• If you are welcoming trick-or-treaters with your social dog, I suggest leashing for the evening, and tethering them to some thing stationary if necessary (with supervision, obviously).

• Make sure your dogs are wearing a collar with identification tags even if they have a microchip. Halloween continues to be the second highest holiday for lost pets.

• At the end of the night, make sure that all candy is stored in a cabinet or at the top of the fridge.

• If you have a reactive dog, this is *not* the time to work on training. Jump scares might be fun for us, but probably not for your dog. Be their advocate and don’t set them up to fail.

• For the humans!!! There are plenty of dogs that feel confused or stressed by costumes. If you are going to say hello to an unfamiliar dog, you should remove masks, set down props - think about any part of your costume that might be intimidating.

Have a safe and spooky weekend!
AND SHOW ME YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES IN THE COMMENTS!! (Human and dog! I love them all!)

Training isn’t just for “problem dogs”, worst case scenarios, and last chances.

Training is for building relationships, communication, and problem prevention.
Start early, train often.

All. Dogs. Need. Obedience.
