Beau crushed his training today! ⛰️🐾
Before our hike, we worked on sit-stays, and for the first time, I was able to walk full circles around him—with his brother as a distraction! And he held it like a champ!
Proof that practice pays off. Obedience training isn’t just about commands—it’s about building focus, confidence, and reliability in real-world settings. Plus, a little brain work before a hike makes for a more balanced adventure!
Who else trains before hitting the trails? Let’s see those well-mannered adventure pups! 🐶✨ #EvergreenK9 #TrainingForAdventure #SitStaySuccess
Gambit getting in the training reps before adventure time! ⛰️🐾
Before hitting the trail, Gambit worked on his place command like a pro! Teaching a solid place cue helps build focus, impulse control, and confidence—essential skills for any adventure dog. A little training before a hike sets the tone for a well-balanced and safe outing!

✨ The Best Part of Being a Dog Trainer ✨
People often ask me what my favorite part of training dogs is, and the answer is simple: the transformation—but not just in the dogs.
Yes, I love watching a nervous, reactive, or untrained dog grow into a confident, well-behaved companion. But the real magic? Seeing the transformation in the owner.
I get to watch people go from feeling frustrated, uncertain, or even defeated to confident, empowered, and in control. Seeing that shift—the moment when everything clicks, when they finally trust themselves and their dog—that’s what makes this job so rewarding.
It’s not just about training a dog; it’s about building a bond that every dog and owner should have. A relationship built on trust, communication, and mutual respect.
This is why I do what I do. 💛🐾

🐾 Question of the Day! 🐾
I talk a lot about training dogs, but I’d love for you all to get to know me a little better as your trainer! Today’s question:
💭 What inspired me to become a dog trainer, and how long have I been training?
Short answer: MILES.
I’ve been training dogs since 2018, specializing in behavior modification and service dog training. It’s been an incredible journey, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
Now, I want to hear from YOU! Drop a comment below and tell me:
🐕 What made you fall in love with dogs?
🐶 What’s something you’ve always wanted to ask a dog trainer?
Let’s chat! ⬇️
Even trained dogs need tune-ups! 🐶✨
Just like us, dogs need consistent practice to keep their skills sharp. Even the most well-trained pup can start slipping on commands if we don’t reinforce them regularly. That’s why ongoing training and relationship-building are so important—it's not just about obedience, but about trust, communication, and keeping your bond strong.
Check out Miles in this video—proof that even a well-trained dog can always benefit from a little refresher! Keep up the training, keep up the fun, and most importantly, keep growing together.

Dollar Tree Dog Treats: What’s Worth It?
I went through a lot of treats at Dollar Tree, and let’s just say… most didn’t make the cut. But there are a couple of hidden gems! My go-to? Buffalo lung treats—I chop them into small nuggets and mix them into my dogs' kibble for the perfect training trail mix. I also like the Spot Chews for small to medium dogs or puppies.
I challenge you to check the ingredients on your dog’s treats! You wouldn’t train for a marathon on Big Macs—so why feed junk to your pup? #DogTraining #HealthyTreats #DollarTreeFinds

Throwback to Fry Learning Heel!
Look at baby Fry working on his heel position! 🐶💛 It’s always fun to look back and see how #evergreenk9our pups have come!
A little about Fry: He’s my personal dog, a dachshund rescue from Tijuana, Mexico. 🇲🇽🐾 He may be small, but he’s got a big personality—and a stubborn streak that made training both fun and challenging! 😆
What is Heel?
Heel isn’t just walking beside you—it’s a precise position where your dog walks at your left side, staying aligned with your leg. 🦮 A solid heel means your dog is engaged with you, not forging ahead, lagging behind, or veering off to the side.
Why Teach Heel?
✅ Gives you better control in busy or high-distraction areas
✅ Helps prevent pulling on the leash
✅ Builds engagement and communication between you and your dog
✅ Makes walks more enjoyable for both of you
Fry started out learning with clear guidance, motivation, and lots of rewards! 🦴✨ With consistency and practice, he mastered it like a pro.
