Doggie Do-Over

I am a professional dog trainer. I am certified through KPA. I am continuing to educate myself through positive and science based techniques.

I love dogs and I love being able to help owners rediscover the joy of owning a dog through training.

Congratulations to Max on graduating from Doggie Do-Over!
Max had issues with being overly excited about dogs on leash and accidentally tripped his owners leaving them with some injuries. His owners reached out after referral from a friend to help build their confidence back up walking him and to teach him how to walk nicely and calmly on leash.

Max loves to train and is super smart so he was a very easy dog to work with! We established a training regime for them to work on at home in a low distraction environment. We then started to meet downtown to put his training into action. After a couple times of me working with him downtown and walking him, I had our last session be with his owners being the only one to walk him. They both did really well and Max listened fabulously to them.
We even passed a few dogs and they did great keeping his attention.

His owners are very happy with where he is and are excited to continue working with him. More importantly, they have the confidence back to walk him!

Thank you to the owners for being consistent and eager for Max’s success!

Meet the litter of 9 puppies!
These pups are 5 week old mini bernadoodles! Their human Mom Josie Di Bernardo, Olympic Peninsula Service Dogs is an ethical and responsible dog breeder. Both her dog, Tonka and the sire have been vetted to ensure they make healthy and strong puppies!
Josie is working with a service dog trainer to determine which puppies will become service dogs and which ones will not.

Our puppies will be trained for medical alert (asthma, seizures, epilepsy, etc) and non-bracing mobility tasks such as retrieving dropped items or locating and retrieving medications or inhalers and other tasks that might make life a bit easier for their human.

The puppies that don’t have the natural temperament that would make such a life rewarding to them will be adopted out at 9-10 weeks to good homes after completing several weeks of fundamental training with Kendra at Doggie-Do-Over!

If you are interested please go to the website olydogs.com to learn more!

I have bittersweet news to share…

Doggie Do-Over is moving. I am forever grateful for my clients in Washington and starting my business here. Your pups will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you for giving me my start and trusting me to guide your training journey with your furry friend. I hope that you have enjoyed our time as much as I have!

As much as I will miss all of my clients here, it is time for me to move back home and start a new journey there. I will be opening a dog daycare and boarding/training facility, which is much needed in the area I will be moving to.

I will be taking clients here up until June 6, 2025.

Much love 🐾 🐶

A female lab was found at my friend’s ranch. We believe she was dumped.

She has been taken to the vet, no microchip but otherwise healthy and friendly, about a year old. She is very skinny though.

We are hoping to find her a home. She has a place to stay tonight but she will need a new home.
Please message if you or anyone you know may be interested.

Congratulations to Jack for graduating from Doggie Do-Over!

Jack needed help solidifying good manners and listening to his owner in distracting environments.

Jack had an incident where he turned on his owner during a dog fight. His owner reached out looking for answers and help to make sure it didn’t happen again.

Through management of his surroundings like avoiding the alley where it happened and training in a calm environment we were able to get Jack to a place where he is listening to his owner more and feels safer in his neighborhood.

Jack is a smart and very sweet dog who loves to train! Thank you to his owner for her dedication to him and helping him meld into a well behaved boy!

This is Bubba. I take him for monthly walks/training sessions while his owner continuously reinforces what we work on.

In this video, I am describing what I am doing with him as I’m doing it.

As with all reactive dogs, they have a threshold to where they can see their trigger and not react. Some dogs it’s 20ft away, others it’s 50ft, 100ft etc…
Reactive dogs, more often than not have a CER (conditioned emotional response). When they see their trigger they get certain feelings about it. Most of the time, those feelings are negative and fear based.

Our job as owners and trainers is to find their threshold and work towards helping them make happy, positive associations. You want to find the sweet spot where your dog sees their trigger but doesn’t react.
(When they get to react - barking, lunging etc.. it will further engrain their reactivity)

Instead you want them to engage in decompression and sniffing exercises with you, as shown in this video.

Reactivity and CER’s are not easy things to work with. All the obedience in the world will not change how a dog feels about a certain trigger. It’s my job to help your dog learn to turn those bad feelings into good feelings and to help the owners learn how to do that as well.

This is Rue. She is looking for a furever home! She is currently in a foster home patiently waiting for someone like you!

Her foster hired me to walk/train her until she gets adopted so I am working on leash walking, reactivity and basics with her. She has met a couple dogs on leash and sounds like a gremlin with them, she is very bossy but has not tried to hurt any dogs.

She had a play date with my husky Vettel - I am attaching the videos in the comment section because it will not let me add to the post. They played very well together. Again, she is bossy but listened well to Vettel’s corrections and human voice correction if they both were playing too rough.

Rue is very sweet and I can tell she just wants someone to love on her. She would make a great hiking partner!
I think she would do well with a dog that doesn’t care who is the boss. She may be better with male dogs but I have not introduced her to a female yet but I think if the female was calm it would be okay.

Her foster is waiving the adoption fee but would like the owner to continue training with me for 2-3 months to make sure her transition is smooth and the owner is prepared.

If you think you could provide her with a good home, message me so I can get you in contact with her foster!

Congratulations to Remmy for graduating from Doggie Do-Over!
Remmy is an Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Her owner reached out because she is also a shop dog but she was chasing out parts guys that would come in through the back door and biting at their heels. She growled at strangers coming in through the front door and people would try to pet her over the gate and she would nip at them. There was a sign put up instructing people not to pet her and that did help.

I worked with Remmy and her owner for about 5 months 1x/week to 1x every other week. At first I tried to get her used to people coming in through the doors but after continuous effort, it was not sticking with her due to no one being able to implement the training while I wasn’t there because they are busy running their business!

The owner and I decided that muzzle training was the best solution for everyone involved. After about a month of working on getting her used to the muzzle, she let me put it on today. She kept it on for a few minutes and then I took it off. I did this several times with her, making sure to give her lots of treats for having it on.

She is comfortable with the muzzle being put on and that is a huge step for her journey! There was a couple times where I showed her the muzzle and she backed away, at this point I did not force it on her - instead I put it away, gave her a break and some love. When I presented it again, she put her nose in it. I then worked from there and was able to put it back on her after a couple of minutes.

I had her owner do the same steps while I was there and she let him put it on too.

I am so proud of Remmy for getting to this point. I am proud of myself for helping a dog get comfortable with a muzzle. She is the first dog that I have had the opportunity to work with on this.
I am proud of her owner for his patience, understanding and willingness to work with Remmy and do what’s best for her.

Go Remmy! Thank you for accepting me into your friend group and trusting me through our training journey. ♥️

Congratulations to Blue on graduating!
Blue is a Black Lab/Airedale Terrier mix. His owners reached out needing help teaching him to be calm as people passed the house and not jumping on the door when someone knocks.

After a few weeks, Blue has made some massive improvements with the training and is learning quickly. His owners have done a good job keeping up on his training as well.

Blue has shown an eagerness to learn and really enjoys his training sessions! Now his owners just have to continue reinforcing the training we implemented and Blue will continue to shine and learn that he doesn’t have to bark at everyone.
Go Blue!

Here are some graduates from a couple months ago! Comet & Yeti (left) and Violet (right)

Both dogs and families were pleasures to work with. Violet now has an excellent recall off leash and gets to play at the beach with other doggie friends!
Comet & Yeti bark less at the neighbors fence and have a better recall!

Come see me at the Port Angeles Petsense adopt-a-thon event today from 12-2!
Oh and bring your dogs!

Congratulations to Goose for graduating from Doggie Do-Over!

Goose is a doodle puppy and he needed help learning some basic manners like not biting the leash when walking and being calm when he saw another dog.

He is so smart and learned very fast! He was such a joy to work with and his owners did great foundation work with him to make our training journey a breeze.

Isn’t he just the cutest!? ♥️😍
