Quest is so fun! Love the relationship we worked so hard to build 🐾
I usually get asked, when is my dog allowed to sniff and just be a dog!? Whenever you like! However, if you’re looking to have a good “heel” position but you never practice it or it’s inconsistent, chances are your dog won’t be consistent in that behavior either. Keep it nice and balanced 🐶 #renotahoedogs #renodogs #renodogtraining #renonv #renotahoedogtraining #bernedoodlesofinstagram #looseleashwalking

All of the pups are working on their skills 🐶🙌 Just another day in the life of a dog trainer who loves her job 🤗
To all the women out there that have raised something with love and affection, Happy Mothers Day ❤️ #renotahoedogs #renodogs #renodogtraining #renodogtrainer #renonv #mothersday #dogmom #doglover
Touching up on some leash training with this sweet girl🐶 You can spend time taking short cuts or you can spend time teaching your dog and having fun. What do you think is going to last longer? I have absolutely no issue with using different training tools to enhance training and give clients better control over their dogs. Spend time teaching your dogs what you want first though. Skip the basics and it’ll show in your training eventually. Challenge for you this week: Say “heel” to your dog. Are they able to find the position on their own without help from you?
The bestest boy has a birthday today! 🎉❤️

Quest having a bit of fun in the morning working out his energy by doing some fun freestyle tricks. We really have a great time together 🐶
When possible, train to prevent problems, not fix them. You can’t train your dog from the couch. Get off social media and get creative training your dog 🐕
We don’t miss birthdays around here even if they’re away from home and in training! Happy birthday to Targhee 🧁 #dogbirthday #cutedog
Louie has had a rough start in life but thanks to a kind soul in Los Angeles he was taken in and then adopted out to a wonderful home here in Reno.He is the definition of a neglected dog who was not socialized to the world and has attachment disorders.We’re going to work on his confidence and train him so we have a way to communicate with him. I had to figure out what works for Louie and what doesn’t. It’s really important to keep giving 100% even when your dog doesn’t care. Not everyone knows how to do that and that’s why I’m here. It’s ok to push your dogs boundaries in a safe, healthy way and slowly build on it. Keep offering food. Keep offering play. Keep reassuring your dog that you’re a safe place. Keep boundaries around what’s acceptable behavior and what’s not. Keep it consistent and your dog will blossom, I promise. 🐾 #renotahoedogs #renonevada #renotahoedogtraining #renodogtraining #renodogs www.renotahoedog.com
Things to look for: I use a lot of hand motions with my cues and that helps my dogs understand what I’m asking them to do. There are commands where I don’t use my hands sometimes and I will create different words for different positions (sit, down, heel left/right/middle, stand, etc).
A massive thank you to all my clients who have supported and continue to support my dog training dreams. I couldn’t do this without you ❤️ After my retired demo dog, Quinn, got diagnosed with Addisons Disease I knew it was important to my business to add a new demo dog to my pack even though it felt odd at the time. I really focused on what I wanted to bring to the Reno-Tahoe area and adding Quest has already helped me re-discover who I am as a dog trainer, hence his name. We have already helped so many of you with your dog training goals and I can’t wait to meet more of you in the future. This job was always going to be an adventure, (a Quest!) and I’m excited to bring my passion to life. If you are still looking to discover your passion, some words of advice: surround yourself with people who share common interests, never take your eyes off of your goal, and be ready to work 💯 📸: Casey Simon Photography IG: @ _csimon_

Want your puppy to be potty trained and you don’t know where to start? Want to be back to having more sleep? Let’s get in touch! Email: [email protected]“Dak” is here making friends and getting on a good potty schedule so his owners can get married without the hassle of worrying about the potty training the week of their wedding! We’ll be socializing and introducing some obedience training as well, keeping it age appropriate of course! 🐶
I love the compliments on Quest but just know he wasn’t “born this way”. Training him involved me investing so much time into him and the work we did. It wasn’t always easy training but so worth it 💯
