Gotta Love Dog Training at Creekside Canine

Dog Training for the Real World. Private, Affordable, Reliable Dog Training in Southeast Kentucky. I attended several training seminars to continue my education.

Using reward-based scientific approach to dog training, I use knowledge of animal behavior, canine body language, classical conditioning and other training techniques to tailor a behavior modification program specifically for your dog based on their breed, energy and lifestyles. In addition to have 10 years experience training my own dogs for the show ring (Obedience, Rally, Musical Freestyle, Con

firmation and most recently Trick Dog and Dock Diving), I have multiple degrees in Veterinary Health Science which involved taking several animal behavior, handling, health, anatomy and nutrition classes. I've have 3 years experience working with shelter and rescue dogs. I also had the privilege of working with wolves in a research internship (18 months) where I was able to work with some amazing creatures as well as study them for a research project where I looked into the trainability of wolves and wolf dog hybrids. I started training dogs part time when I was 16 years old. Through college I cultivated a nice side business that has developed to what it is now in the past 6 years. Today, it's a service I am happy to offer full time to anyone in the Southeast Kentucky/Cumberland Gap Region. If you have any questions fill free to get up with me!

Check out my flying springer! EmmyLou did her best so far this season with two different jumps at 20ft and the others all over 19ft! (For reference the average distance jump for springers is 13’6”) I’m super proud of how she’s doing this season & to own one of the top springers in the country❤️ EmmyLou & I will be be competing at the Southeast Regional Championship at the end of the month! Because of this I will not be taking new clients until after Labor Day - I would hate to start a dogs training & then have to take off in the middle of it. I have BIG things to announce soon for Gotta Love Dog Training so please Like & Share so you don’t miss anything! Happy Training - KB

If I could give any advice as a dog trainer, it would be to research your breed - extensively - to know what you’re getting into BEFORE you get the cute puppy. If you don’t get a dog that fits your lifestyle, then owning them will become your lifestyle. Almost every dog in a shelter started out with an owner with good intentions. German shepherds are smart, loyal, protective, & confident. So a GSD is going to confidently bark at strangers or people approaching your home - that is a characteristic of the breed, meaning you can’t train it out of them. At best you can manage it down to a few barks instead of the entire time a person is in their territory. If you don’t train them, they will train you. Hound dogs howl. Huskies Howl, Dig & look for escape routes like it’s their job. Retrievers like to steal items like socks or trash & run around with them - because they’re retrievers & unless you teach them a proper return (dogs not naturally know how to fetch) they think they are retrieving the item. Aussies, Cattle dogs & even the cute little corgis all go through a nipping/biting phase - it’s not aggressive, it’s a herding breed. Some dogs aren’t meant to be pets - they were meant to work. And keeping them in a crate all day or in a fence just running in circles is not managing your dog. It’s just a mindless existence for them. All can be MANAGED through training, but none can be “CURED” because it’s an ingrained personality trait & in some breeds not allowing them the opportunity to do what they love/were bred for is just cruel.

Sometimes you just need a snack when you’re exercising 🤣🤣🤣

“Real Dog Training for the Real World” Welcome to Gotta Love Dog Training Here our number one priority is not the number of tricks or commands we can teach your dog - it’s about building a strong communication bond with your dog through training. The point is to make your relationship better with your dog in order to enrich both of your lives. Dogs bring so much joy to a family, but it’s important to remember good dogs aren’t always born - they’re made! Let’s work on making your dog the best version of themselves 🐾. #606dog #dogtraining #tiktok #followmeformore #pinevilleky #bellcounty #Kentucky #dogtrainer #dogtricks #dogtreats #dogtrainingisfun #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining101 #smallbusiness

Not too bad for the dog who wouldn’t sit - I guess we could call this Savannahs final exam 🥰 It took a while for Savannah to warm up to me & training but she feels like a completely changed dog compared to what first walked through my door.

Generalizing Place with Tess the Aussie. Place is a super versatile command to be used as an extended stay. In Tess’s case place is used as a command to channel her energy - she’s too excited & work motivated to want to be calm. We also taught place outside as “porch” so she will go to the porch on command. #dogtraining #606dog #dogtrainer

Thor is such a well behaved pup! He’s almost finished with all of his basics & we start public training next time💚 FYI - Gotta Love Dog Training & my kennel Creekside Canine are happy to welcome all breeds at our facility. Cane Corsos, Dobies, Rotties, Pitties & the like. Ain’t no stereotypes keeping me from training some fantastic puppers! As I like to say when people ask if I’m worried about them being too much dog for ‘lil ole me, “I worked with literal WOLVES, I think I can handle some pit bull snuggles” Happy Training ~KB #dogtraining #pitbull #pitbulllove

I wish I had a video to show you what I started with on this dog. Maggie it’s still a very excitable lab who has a lot of “puppy“ in her but she is doing so good with leash walking. Now I am using a prong collar on her, but if you notice in this video I have also switched to using verbal corrections over leash pops with prong collar corrections. We’re slowly phasing out the need of the collar and if she matures she will no longer need the training tool. Training tools are just that - they are tools of the trade but they are not a crutch. They need to be used for & with training methods, not just a fix all. I have been working really hard on teaching Maggie verbal corrections and verbal cues when we’re walking and it is starting to pay off. As you can tell us video she is completely loose leash with little to no physical correction from me! If you are unsure about using Training tools like prong collars you need to find a professional trainer who has experience with them to help you. They are not tools of abuse, they do not cause extreme stress or discomfort if used correctly. And training tools should be brought in after the dog has had some training not at the beginning of training. I did not strap on this collar the first day of leash training. I also do not use adversive training tools on puppies under six months old. Happy Training ~KB🐾

My Story

Dog have always been apart of my life. I started training and showing dogs when I was in middle school and I never looked back. At one point I started volunteering at the Bell County Animal Shelter and I was shocked at the number of great dogs turned over due to "behavior problems" - problems such as chewing, jumping, barking, and hyper-activeness; Basically just dogs being dogs. Problems I, as a dog handler, understood and could aid in correcting. I wanted to help educate owners to understand their dogs and that their behavior weren’t necessarily 'problems'.

I was only 16 years old when I came up with this hair-brained scheme to start my own dog training service here in Southeastern Kentucky. I honestly had no clue what I was doing. I just knew that I’d always had a connection with dogs and I believed that, combined with my experience training my own dogs for the obedience ring was a decent foundation to build on. It started small, a few people took a chance on me and I would train their dogs after school when other kids my age would be at sports practice or pep rallies. One client turned into two, then four, then six and soon word of mouth spread about my dog training.

Over the next few I have trained a lot of dogs, learning as I went – self-taught from books, extensive online research and a few training clinics here and there. I trained dogs through high school. I started college and in the haze of juggling exams and credit hours, I still managed to wiggle in at least one client in a semester. For me each dog I trained was a challenge, puzzle that I solved. It always helped that I felt I was doing good and that I was helping others bond with their dogs better. But I didn’t really know where I was going with training thing. It was a little bit of cash in my pocket, fun to do - a hobby more than anything, really. Right?

What am I doing here today, six years later? It started with a wolf, um, a wolf-dog I should say.

Last year I actually closed up shop in order to focus on my education. GPA is what gets you into Veterinary School after all, but I missed training terribly. Over the summer – the first summer I had ever not had a training client by the way – I took up an internship at a wolfdog rescue and sanctuary. There I met all of these wonderful wolfdog hybrids. The plan was to make observations of behaviors in a little leather notebook that I could use for my Senior Research Project. The plan was not to train the wolfdogs. It really wasn’t. But that’s what it turned into. Then my little brown book became a place to store training progress, record behaviors and note training techniques that seemed to work on wolfdogs and of course the ones that didn’t. It was during this time that I realized I didn’t have to give up training dogs just because I wanted to go to Vet School. That maybe training might actually help me get there.

This page is of course, my business page. The one that I will use to sell my dog training services, but I also want to share my passion. I want to show people what canine behavior really entails. Dogs have been man’s best friend for 15,000 years – they have the capability to bond with us in ways no other creature on earth can. My goal is to help people develop that bond and to build a partnership between dog and owner through private, individualized dog training.

I hope you enjoy.
