We are back from our cruise and training with Jochie went very well last night. Lots to work on! Remember, the small details matter! Blessed to have the best mentors and teachers to guide me through this journey. Crazy how fast time flies! Petra Vandalon

Playing hide and seek in the woods with Jochie. He caught on fast! Next, he will go behind me and bark. Then, we put someone different in the woods for him to find. And the game is fun! Crazy that they have no snakes or spiders or critters to worry about while playing in the woods here.

When training at the highest level, you put in all your heart, mind, and soul, time and money into your dog. My dear friend, Petra Vandalon put in 4 years with sweet Alya to be judged at her recent trial. She got 429 points out of 435 and passed with honors. I learned SOO much about trialing and also the differences in training styles. Even more motivation to press on toward my goal of competing here next year with Jochie. Lots of work ahead of us! Congrats Petra on a job well done!!

Jochie and I made it through TSA and all the headache of checking a dog. With all the correct documentation, it was a long process but no issues.

One take away for the process was to make 3 copies of all the paperwork. 1 originals to keep; 2 copies attached to the kennel; and 3 copies for the check in folks.

As a dog trainer, we can do a lot by ourselves BUT to produce the best of the best it takes a team! This is for basic obedience, advance obedience or high level sport training. I am extremely thankful for the countless people that have and will put on the bite suit (decoys) for Jochie and me.

Decoys can make or break your dog and play a crucial role in their development. They embrace their failures to learn and the pains to help them to grow, how to move next time, how to protect themselves, how to protect the dogs, their own physical stamina and experiencing how to work so many different type of dogs. These guys take a beating week after week! The saying blood, sweat and tears is so true in the dog sport world, especially for decoys. I cannot put into words my appreciation for their willingness, desire and passion to truly make our dogs better. BECAUSE IF THE TEAM WINS, WE ALL WIN! 🥇

Thank you decoys for suiting up and making a difference in each and every team you work with!

See this picture? It's an Australian Shepherd HERDING the sheep. See the nip? The push with her teeth/muzzle? She's HERDING, not biting! Some Aussies, especially young ones, may do this to their human - and be tossed out of the house for "biting my kid". The Aussie was herding your kid, slowing the kid down from running thru the house, turning the kid toward a different direction, etc...
So many Aussie end up in shelters because humans misunderstood the breed and, instead of teaching the dog appropriate herding behavior, their natural instinct, they toss the dog out of the house.
Make sure you understand what a bite is and isn't. 9 out of 10 times it was inappropriate herding and easily changed.

Nicky is 12.5 years old and has been a working dog until he retired at 10 years old. He started slowing down about a year ago. Which is to be expected but not this fast and I don’t want him to hurt. I went to My Family Vet in Woodforest and they suggested the Librela shot. Within 24 hours, Nicky was running around like a puppy. Two shots and he is chasing a ball again, able to jump up/ climb stairs and seems to be feeling better overall. 🥰

If you have a senior dog, ask your vet about it. If you’re in the Montgomery area, call My Family Vet 281-288-1221

🐾 Please read and share!!🐾

As you can imagine working in the dog world, I get asked to help strays and various rehoming situations every single day. I take every outreach seriously and try to help to the best of my ability.

This dog was dumped but he is healthy, sweet, good with other dogs, kennel trained, utd on vaccines, heartworm negative and vet thinks his about 10 months old.

1. I am looking for someone to adopt this sweet baby!!

2. Or I need to find a foster until we find him a forever home. I leave for Europe in just a few weeks. Please help me find this sweetie a home.

It is apparent that my page has been dominated by videos of my dog recently. Rest assured, there is a reason for this. I am getting ready to take my puppy, Jochie, to Europe to continue our training toward our KNPV title. I will be abroad for a significant amount of time and would love to share my journey with you. This is an amazing chance for me to enhance my expertise and bring back valuable knowledge to help my clients improve their relationships with their dogs. Please continue sending me pictures and videos of your dogs as they fuel me and bring me great joy! I appreciate each of you

My favorite part about training dogs this morning was loving on this little guy while his mom worked her pup. Love training dogs with friends that are like family. Christina Wu Hardy

Lily came for a little refresher while her mom is out of town. She came to me a wild child 😳 but what I LOVE about the dogs I’ve trained is their SOLID foundation! Which is why I will be able to get her back on track in a day or two. 🥰

Jochie is 17 months old and we head to Europe next month. This is an amazing learning opportunity for us! We have come so far and I couldn’t be more proud of our journey thus far. 🐕🩵🐕

I have two very happy campers right now. They are enjoying ol’ Betty as much as we are! 🐮

I went to Charlie & Paul’s seminar this weekend! I appreciate them for sharing their knowledge. “When you stop learning, you start dying.” Knowledge is power! Looking forward to our adventure to Europe together next month 🥰😬

Jochie’s progression on tonight’s bag session. He needs to let go of the tug and go back to the bag on his own. His out is good but then he just lays down right there. You’ll notice the last rep that he looks for the bag so I reward that!

Little by little - it’s coming together

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!
