Rusty did so well with his distance training and leash walking. Such a beautiful and smart boy.
Ani suggests that sometimes you should stop and smell the chalk. ๐ โค๏ธ
Hazel (Catahoula Leopard Dog mix) is enthusiastic and eager to learn. During today's session, she quickly learned concepts such as waiting for objects, bringing and dropping items upon request. I'm so excited for our next session!!
Charlie boy hopes that you had a wonderful Independence day and that you have a great weekend! โก
Happy Monday!
Who says that you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Nigel did amazing during his first leash reactivity session. His owner was so proud of how well he did. He was able to stay calm even with a dog directly across the street. Definitely a huge step in the right direction for this cutie pie!!!
Good Golly, Miss Molly, you did great on your fieldtrip to Port. Such a smart and pretty girl!
Little Golden Retriever pup, Franny was utterly exhausted after yesterday's session. Thinking wipes these pups out. Dogs who get the appropriate physical and mental stimulation typically don't have the energy to get into too much trouble. Franny's family is doing everything right, they started her training at nine weeks old and she's absorbing like a sponge. During this session, we learned how to greet people with manners. We also worked on leave it, a life-saving commamd. Franny was proud to show off that she could completely ignore cheese dropped on the floor after 20 minutes of training. Go Franny!!!!
Bebe (9 months) met a new friend today. โค๏ธ
Alfredo had an amazing time exploring so many new sights and sounds throughout downtown Cedarburg. He practiced passing people with manners and did so well! Also, he had many opportunities to greet strangers politely when given the command to visit. I can't wait for my next adventure with this cutie. ๐
Tillie had an absolute blast with her training. Mental stimulation is crucial in helping your dog feel content and fufilled. Dogs that are challenged in this way are much less likely to have behavioral issues. The first photo is of the beginning of our session and the last photo demonstrates perfectly how exhausted she was at the end. Who else has worked with me and seen this look?? ๐ Share photos if you have them!
Is it really that much of a secret? ๐ฅฐ
Whether your dog needs to learn how to swim or just can't get enough swimming, The Feed Bag Pet Supply Retail, Grooming, Dog Pool & Aquatics has a beautiful pool facility with wonderful staff to make your pup's swimming time a fun-filled experience!

Happy Monday from Pablo. โค๏ธ
Trying something fun and different for today's post: If you were stranded in the wilderness with your dog and he/she could only know (up to) five commands, what would they be? (I already know what mine are, but I'll wait and share at a later time). ๐๐
Go Archie. Dogs are amazing.
A dad and his 5-month-old baby were inside when the fire started and the family dog alerted them of the flames.
Anna, my third-generation dog trainer in training, had a great time joining me for Bring Your Child to Work Day. She assisted with training ten dogs, everything from puppy training to leash reactivity. She did a great job and worked hard, demonstrating a knack for working with dogs, just like her mom and grandparents. I am very proud of her!

Brie was so focused and ready to learn during her training session. She did awesome!
Bash is a dashing 13 week-old French Bulldog. During our session, we introduced bell training for potty training, we also helped Bash conquer his fear of going down the stairs and had a blast working on his recall. What a great session!
This post is in honor of Hendrix (three year-old German Shepherd). Hendrix's owner, Ted, had to say goodbye, very unexpectedly, and the loss is devestating. Ted put his heart into caring for Hendrix (just turned three) from the moment he rescued him. I remember the day that I met Hendrix, we had an instant connection. I got the funny crinkle ears, lowered head and butt wiggle that was reserved for his most favorite people. Hendrix was so loved and given the best life a dog could ask for and in return, Hendrix gave Ted his heart and was loyal to Ted in a way that I rarely see. Hendrix, you will be missed beyond words. ๐ข
Spring break time. See you in April! โค๏ธ

With a newborn baby, Cooper's leash walking was especially a problem. We did one walking session and he is transforming beautifully. His owner was thrilled with his progress as he walked nicely with the stroller. So proud of this boy. โก Go Coop!! โค๏ธ๐งก๐

Having a leash reactive dog is exhausting and scary. Check out these two. They were severely reactive dogs that have proven this behavior can be fixed/significantly reduced. I am VERY proud of Chloe and Bandit as well as their handlers who have done the work and it shows. Great job!

It's not too late to have a better walker this summer! Revy came to me with excessive pulling and reactivity. This is a clip of session two. This was 99% of our walk!

Dreaming of your dog being calm and settled when visitors enter?Look at this puppy as I ring the doorbell, enter the home and sit down with his family. I train this by breaking it down into a few commands and then put it all together.

Jett is the most adorable German Wirehaired Pointer pup that just wants to be a hunting dog when he grows up. โค He's certainly on track to being just that. Jet really worked hard on his distance training. There's something special about watching a dog's face light up as they are doing an enthusiastic recall. Such a fun and productive session.

This 6 month-old girl is almost completely blind but it's not stopping her. During our session, we worked on her recall and stay. We also utilized playground equipment to work on walking through, crawling under, stepping up and stepping down. Violet needs to trust our commands for her safety. She did fabulous.

Hazel lives on a large property with a pond and loves to chase wildlife. Her family needed her to come when called, even when it meant to stop chasing fish!

One of my favorite and most useful obedience training commands is teaching the dogs to "stay." Stay can be very useful in many different situations, from being able to give a visitor space when entering your home to allowing a dog to pass by on a walk. It's also very beneficial to practice your dog's impulse-control and, in some cases, can encourage calm and relaxation. Great job, Stone!

One of my favorite things to work on is overcoming fear. I love seeing a dog's fear melt away and be replaced with confidence. I also feel great joy watching families react when they see their dog conquer their anxiety. Rory is racing up the stairs in this video but 15 minutes earlier, she was fearful of the stairs. Great job to Rory on her first time up the stairs. So proud of you. โค
Chloe enjoyed her vacation very much. We taught her some fun little tricks like how to push the floaty, jump into the pool to "save" someone, hit the beach ball back and forth and more. ๐
Cleo is only 16 weeks old and yet look at this recall. She's also doing fabulous with sit, down, off, drop it, your spot, leave it and so much more. Don't wait it out and hope things get better. Do it right and do it early and you'll enjoy a lifetime bond filled with respect, love and trust.
Winnie started working with me last week to address reactivity to dogs/humans, severe leash pulling and jumping. We've been working hard to teach Winnie acceptable behaviors. Her owner just sent me this video clip...look at this beautiful heel! Winnie has a lot more to learn and it takes time but this is fantastic progress. Training will always be more successful when the owner commits to it. Good job Winnie and Rebecca!
