Olive - 8.5 yrs
Janey - will be 3 yrs on July 5th!

People who have more than 1 dog, no matter the age, let's see the difference between them.

-😡Who is the meanest? Neither are mean, but Olive will make it clear to Janey in no uncertain terms which bully stick is hers.

-🤢Pickiest? Either will eat any kind of meat, cheese or yogurt. Once in a while Janey will eat a blueberry. Other than that, no fruits or veggies for these girls.

-😏Who is the sneakiest? Janey isn’t sneaky but she’s a very fast opportunist if I accidentally leave something within her reach on the counter.

-😢Who is the sensitive one? Olive

-🦹🏽‍♂️Who is the daredevil? Neither

-🛁Who is the cleanest? Janey

-🗣Who is the loudest? For years this was Olive, but Janey just found her big girl bark when the neighbor was singing and making didgeridoo type noises. She was very suspicious. So now Olive has competition.

-🙇🏻‍♂️Who is the most dramatic? Olive

-🎤Who barks the most? Olive alert barks, barks to wake me up, barks to be let outside…she’s very vocal. She also has a multitude of adorable whining and moaning noises when I should be paying attention to her.

-👩🏻‍🦽Most likely to take care of you? Neither…they’re very self-centered.

-🌪 Likely to cause you to lose your mind? Janey

-⚰️Who would help you bury a body? Olive. She’s my ride or die.

-👵🏽Who is likely to give you grey hair? Janey. Just keeping her safe from her impulsive antics is a full time job.

Live Online Consulting & Training

For years I've been telling my clients that my job title 'dog trainer' is wrong - most of my time is spent training people how to train their dogs, not actually training dogs myself!
​
These virtual consulting sessions will prepare you and your family to train your dog so they will listen to you. Live online training is very efficient because you'll begin training your dog yourself immediately as soon as the session begins.
