Not too long along, Ellie was dog reactive. Now, Ellie and her mom are working towards Ellie earning her Canine Good Citizen title. Helper dog, Gracie, and her dad helped out today with test item #8, Reaction to another Dog. This was so impressive! I'm so proud of Ellie.

Mooshi, Perfectly Imperfect and I are taking the Canine Good Citizen test next week. Today we meet with Emily Casteel at Lowe's Home Improvement to practice. Our biggest challenge is the three-minute separation during which Mooshi stays with the evaluator for 3 minutes while I'm out of his sight. This is very hard for him. If anybody wants to meet up with me this weekend to practice this, please let me know!

This is very interesting. Mooshi, Perfectly Imperfect gets startled and agitated by flashing or sudden lights when it's dark out.

How many of you know some dog breeds may be predisposed to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Many herding breeds have a high prey drive which can lead to stress/frustration related OCD when it comes to using laser lights/flash lights/flashing lights in toys for entertainment or training purposes. We ge...

I worked with Lucy 6 years ago when she was a puppy. Now, Lucy's family has Gus, an 8-week-old mini dachshund. So, not only did I get to work with this tiny cutie patutie, but I got to see an old friend! I love my job!

R***r is working towards becoming a Canine Good Citizen. He's one-year-old and 85 pounds of adolescent working dog. His dad works with him A LOT, and it shows! They have only been together for four months, working with me for three of those months. They are on their way to being an awesome team!

Pretty hound dog, Maggie, is so happy to have a Freedom No-Pull Harness that will help her walk with less pulling. Her parents are happy, too! We did lots of work on loose leash walking today.

Here's a clip from training on the Greenway with Bernie.

We can now PASS BY another dog without him reacting with barks and lunges and flips. It's not perfect, but we're not after perfection. We're looking for progress.

Practice makes PROGRESS!

Mr. Biggs & his mom are practicing "BED" with duration and distance.

Here's a clip from training on the Greenway with Bernie. We can now PASS BY another dog without him reacting with barks and lunges and flips. It's not perfect, but we're not after perfection. We're looking for progress. Practice makes PROGRESS!

Bernie used to scream, lunge, and twist in the air when he saw another dog on leash. He reacted the same way if a car passed by him. His reactivity was extreme, so his parents stopped walking him. I have been working with Bernie and his parents for about a year, and this video shows how Bernie NOW reacts when two dogs pass by him. He is doing so much better walking in his neighborhood (on his turf) and amazingly well in parks (off his turf). I have huge respect for his parents who committed to the process and work with him diligently in between our sessions. I am proud, proud, PROUD of them all!

Teddy and his mom are getting better and better with their loose leash walking during our private lessons. This is a difficult skill to teach humans and dogs, so it takes a lot of concentration and repetition. You know what I say, "Practice makes progress!"

Here is Chimi (short for Chimichonga) and his dad learning "look". Look is an easy way to get your dog's attention, redirect their focus, and help calm them.

Check out Ruger and his dad practicing waiting for permission to go out the front door. Ruger usually drags his dad out the door before going on a walk. This is much safer and much more polite!
