Changes begin with you the owner,
then the dog.

I never have to tell people to love their dogs more. It's always the opposite.

Adding structure, leadership, and discipline will help you to achieve a balanced relationship with your dog.

That balance is how we are able to have so many dogs coexist together. Dogs of all shapes and sizes and dogs who've previously had difficulty with other dogs.

Remember, you can't have honey without 🐝 bees.

Puppies!!!

It’s National Puppy Day!! Who doesn’t love seeing those squishy faces and smelling that puppy breath.

Show me some puppies ⬇️

It can be a puppy you have now or a picture of your current dog when they were a puppy. Let’s see some pictures 🐶🐾❤️

Yes💯. Association my friends! Every single interaction you are telling them something about you. Dogs are visual learners. They watch and they learn. So what are you teaching them???

You don’t have to *actually* train your dog to engage in problematic behavior, you only have to allow it — from there nature will do the rest.

It typically starts out as a small, “no big deal”, testing of the waters. And because the behavior is so small and seemingly benign, many let it go. But as the waters repeatedly permit the tiny, seemingly benign behavior to be repeated over and over, something strange occurs…

The once small, innocuous, “no big deal” behavior has now become anything but. It now occurs far more frequently, and it’s far stronger and firmer in its presentation.

This is the place where many owners reach out for help from professionals. And usually they will relay a story of the issues coming virtually out of nowhere. But that’s never the case. Problematic behavior always starts small (that’s the “out of nowhere part”), and always grows into something more if allowed.

So here’s one of the most important tips I can share with you. What you allow is what you train. And the reason you allow it is almost always because it doesn’t appear to be that serious initially. But then at some point it becomes something you’re no longer able to ignore. So instead of doing what so many do, and falling into the trap that so many fall into, work to see the small moments of unwanted behavior as your “go-signal” for addressing the issue. These are your chances to head problem behaviors off at the pass, and also to ensure your relationship dynamics never end up in the dysfunctional space that so many owners end up in.

And maybe just maybe, you’ll never need a professional to help — because you never allowed the small stuff to become the big stuff. :)

Let’s congratulate Tater and Stephanie on their successful completion of our basic obedience course! Also, let’s wish Miss Tater a Happy Birthday too!🎂🐾❤️

It has been so fun to work with this crazy duo! Tater is so smart and eager to learn. Stephanie is an excellent client. I don’t get many clients that come through and try to understand the why behind things.

The why is what makes everything click for you and your dog. If you understand why you are doing something it makes the process easy. Most people just want a quick fix or they just go through the process. When you understand why you do things a certain way, then you see the dog for the magnificent animal they are.

I will definitely miss hanging with them! Congratulations Stephanie and Tater!👏🏻🎓🐾❤️

Happy 1st Birthday Tater!🎂🐾❤️

Charlie’s Dog Obedience Training would like to congratulate Jessica and Riggins on their successful completion of basic obedience training!

The first time I met Riggins, we had to coax him into the training center. He was very nervous and avoided many things.

Now, he comes in with his butt wiggling to great me. Some days he could be a little crazy 🤪.
He is all about climbing on the platform and bridge, which I wasn’t sure was going to happen. I’m very pleased with their progress. Definitely will miss seeing those team every week!

Congratulations!👏🏻🎓🐾❤️

Charlie’s Dog Obedience Training would like to congratulate Jordan and Walker on their successful completion of our basic obedience course!
This being Jordan’s first dog ever, it was quite overwhelming for her. She has gained confidence in her ability to train Walker. She now has knowledge to maintain and improve his training skills.

Congratulations!👏🏻🎓🐾❤️

Client update: Buddha and Sydney:

Sydney-“Had Buddha out with me while I was washing my car, I didn’t get the beginning of the interaction but me and a neighbor said hello and she passed by. No reaction, he’s doing great still! 😊”

Fantastic job Sydney! I’m sooo proud of how well Buddha continues to do. Keep up the good work!🐾❤️ Sydney Marshall
