POV: Your dog judging your holiday survival tactics 🐾🍷 While Meadow keeps me in check, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for all of our amazing clients, their pups, and the Willow Tree Dog Training crew. You all make what we do so special, and I couldn’t be more thankful to share this journey with you. Here’s to making the holidays a little less ruff together!

When you start as frenemies but end as besties because you pushed through the tantrums, emotional rollercoasters, and stubborn standoffs to find that sweet spot of trust and understanding 🐾💖

From chaos to connection, this 4-week journey is what makes the hard days worth it.

Welcome, Oliver! This handsome boy has joined us to tackle some behavioral challenges, including conflicts with a more submissive dog in his home and nuisance barking. He’s also picked up a few habits we’d love to see him leave off his résumé! With the help of our Mesa trainer, Karli, we’re diving deep to address the root of his struggles, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build confidence through solid obedience. We’re excited to help Oliver find a new rhythm and put a happier tune in his heart!

Recall, Sit, Duration Down...our training session today was out in the forest. The two teenagers did great and had a blast as well.

Off-leash dogs can turn any peaceful walk into a stressful moment for you and your pup.

Here's how to stay prepared in the face of an unexpected approach:
•
Stay calm and assertive - your dog looks to you for guidance.

• Use your body as a shield to protect your pup.

•Command the off-leash dog and keep your dog focused on you.

•Carry safe deterrents like citronella spray or pet corrector

•KICK THE OFF-LEASH DOG. Defend if necessary - if an off-leash dog becomes aggressive, don't hesitate to protect your dog. Physical intervention, such as kicking, can be a last-resort method to ensure everyone's safety. Your dog's well-being is your top priority.

Dog training isn't just about commands, it's about leadership, safety, and trust. →

The “place” command is a game-changer! 🐾 It teaches dogs boundaries, builds impulse control, and creates a safe space to relax—perfect for busy households or families with kids. Plus, it’s an amazing way to promote healthy socialization by exposing them to new environments in a calm, controlled way. 🐶✨

For Lucca, the livestock guardian dog, obedience is something rather unnecessary. But since Lucca doesn't live outside with a herd of animals to guard, he needs to learn to behave like a civilized gentleman to fit into our world as a pet. Today Lucca learned to load into the truck and crate.

Today I thought I will take both boys together through the store. Tito and Dodger did great and even people talking to them didn't bother the two.👌

E-collar training helps reactive dogs by interrupting fixation, promoting neutrality, and reinforcing calm behavior. Paired with positive reinforcement, it teaches dogs to stay focused, keep it pushing, and confidently move past triggers. Here at Willow Tree Dog Training, we use E-Collar Technologies 10s unit, which offers precise, low-level stimulation and 100 levels of adjustability to ensure clear communication tailored to each dog’s needs.

Sissy is learning a solid recall for her golf course adventures, walking nice on the leash to help prevent her dad from being wrapped up like a present, oh and manners! - Trainer Karli

More off leash work for Dodger. We had to maneuver around people since the store was having going out of business sales and lots of traffic there.

Dodger and Tito practiced the "Leave It" command and duration down in the house today. Both boys did great and were allowed a piece of lunch meat as a reward.😁

Lucca had his first training session today. We started with some leash walking rules...I say where and how fast we walk...😉
Since Lucca is a livestock guardian dog, he had to meet my horses as well.

Little Tito is working on door and threshold manners. He needs to wait, in a sit or down, until he is called into the dog yard. We were practicing off leash heeling and even though I continue walking through the gate, Tito knows, he has to wait.👌
