Do your walks feel like you are wrangling an alligator before even heading out the door?? 🐊
Practice the leash transition! 🐕
Even if you are just working on putting the leash on and taking it right back off.
Every step may need to be slowed down for your dog to understand & get their gears turning!
Taking your time to show your dog the expectations of the leash coming on or going off is the first step to those calm walks/transitions.

What a beautifully challenging journey with Chowder. This man made such amazing strides throughout his 3 weeks with me & he is back home making even bigger strides with his family! 💪🏼🐕
Thank you to those who were watching his journey with me! The support from all of you keeps this small but mighty business going. 🫶🏼
Did you know we offer Graduate Boarding?? 👀
It is exactly what it sounds like. We offer structured overnight boarding for all clients who have gone through our training programs.
This is a great option for those wanting to ensure their pup is safe & sound, while their training that you have been working so hard on, stays maintained while you are gone! 🐕
Snag your spot now! 📆
As they are always limited.
We have been hard at work with Mr.Chow Man. 🌟
A structured heel not only gets his state of mind right, it allows for us both to have an easy & enjoyable walk together! (Plus it makes navigating any leash reactivity so much easier) ☺️
Looking for help & not sure where to start? We have so many options to help you get there! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #pecatonica #illinois #trainyourdog #blasersbarksnbreakthroughs
Chowder’s owners dropped him off believing he was developing mean bones in his body due to the reactive behavior he was displaying towards people & humans.
I figured out right away that, that was further from the truth! Today we caught a great example of just that: the reactivity he displays is far from anything aggressive & more due to overarousal towards the triggers in the environment.
Coming from multiple homes before- that did little to no socialization with Chowder, seeing those triggers can cause an explosive reaction simply because “HEY, What the heck is that???”
Which is most cases when it comes to “Leash Reactive” dogs.
*Be sure to watch our stories to see how awesome Chowder was doing during this session!*
Got questions! Is your pup displaying their emotions like this?? Reach out! 🐕🙌🏼
Did you get a dog to have a dog?
Or did you get a dog to live your life with?
I am such a huge advocate for people living their best lives with their dog.
If you got a dog simply for the sake of having one, I challenge you to do something brand new with them.
Even if that means taking them on a single walk that you otherwise don’t do. 🐕☀️
Or letting them eat their dinner scattered outside in the grass.
Our dogs only get around 12 summers with us.
So rather than coming home from a long day where they have waited all those same hours for you & reaching for the social media apps to fill the rest of your time.
Try something different that could enrich both of your lives, together.
Something as simple as 10 minutes.

Sunny girl is back for boarding! ☀️
Structured boarding is something I offer to all of my clients who have worked with me & have graduated from our Board and Train programs. 🐕
Structured boarding is exactly what is sounds like. We offer 24/7 comfort & care while you are away, all while maintaining the training that you have worked so hard at! Although this is not regular training, additional refresher training can be added onto their boarding stay if you feel you may need some tuning up. 🐾
This is such an awesome perk I am happy to be able to provide for my Breakthrough Graduates & I always enjoy having these guys back for a visit. 🐾☺️🐕
