Train Play Live

This is an awesome five month old Presse Canario puppy that we just graduated. SUJAH did an awesome job while he was here. He was not a fan of the treadmill the very first time he tried it out but after that, he knew it wasn’t going to hurt him and he trusted us and he started walking like a champ. With thunder storm season coming up and fireworks and all of that other jazz that the summer brings. Having a dog drain mental energy by walking on the treadmill a couple times a day is very very helpful. Even if the weather is beautiful outside, it can take the edge off their over excitement, or even help a dog that is anxious drain that anxious energy so they can focus better on behaving calmly, and completing obedience tasks.

We definitely love to see small dogs behaving well ! Many people tell us that when they bring us little dogs that are yappy and overly excited and can’t control anything about their life, that they will not be able to be trained. All dogs really speak the same language and we love proving the point of view that little yappy dogs can’t be trained wrong! But mostly we just like seeing our clients have a more stress, free life and great relationship with their new calmer puppy regardless of the size. Great work Elsa and Billy!

Here is another video of this wonderful group working in the same session. What you don’t see here is the 400 pound building that we helped these guys move from their property right after the group class. The boys that helped us there were absolutely wonderful young gentleman. We put our heads together and they stayed safe while putting this heavy building on a pretty small lawn more trailer. You can see the character that has been built through this ministry in these young man’s lives. I was very impressed and humbled at how God orchestrated the whole thing!

We have been praying for ministry opportunities and are so blessed that God has placed One7 in our lives. It is amazing what they are doing in East Charlotte!! Check out this video and the next.

Happy Mother’s Day from Train Play Live! I know I shouldn’t be working on Mother’s Day, but I asked Heather what she needed me to do and she told me to make a post because we’ve been too busy to do that in the last week or so. Enjoy watching one of our clients who did some preprogram puppy lessons and has been rocking out his homework with his high energy labrador puppy. We are very proud of Brent and Zeus. Socialization and creating a balanced dog is definitely more important than obedient of the young age but this guy has let us help him get both with this wonderful puppy!

Raylie is one of those dogs that pulls at our heart strings. She has obviously been through so much. Shotgun injuries and obviously other trauma… Thank God, dogs live in the moment and can change in the moment. We want to help Miss Raylie and her owners live that less stressful life they deserve. Even though she weighs twice as much as she should…. She has a big heart and did a slow 2 mile jog with hills! She has a very strong spirit and we can’t wait to see what she can do!!

Hello! (Please watch this spectacular client and her dog, even if you don’t read the post) Our sincerest apologies for not posting in a while. We have been slammed with several phone calls being scheduled a day and now the influx of puppies coming in from Christmas 🙂 We are certainly not complaining, as we feel very blessed to have two wonderful trainers that are awesome in training the whole dog through behavioral and obedience exercises. They do an awesome job helping me get to every dog several times a day. Heather Green Sherrill and I now have time to make sure our clients are taken care of after their dogs go home at a very high level because of their awesomeness! Speaking of awesome clients… I wanted to feature Julie Stevens and her dog Ponce from our last client meet up on January 8th. Both her and her husband are awesome examples of our ideal clients. They worked really hard through their initial programs and came to every extra thing that we offered. We are result and relationship based trainers and do not offer time for dollar type training. We believe in supporting the owners and their dogs for the life of the dog and giving them lots of opportunities to take advantage of that neither Julie or I had any idea that we were going to interview her as she was working Ponce. Notice that there are 10 other dogs doing confidence building in the background and we will post some more of the activities that we did in our last client meet up in the next few days. Thanks Julie. You are one of many of our clients that have gone on to do extra special things with their dogs and we are so glad that we had the privilege of helping you get started :-)

We often have dogs on medication or dogs needing insulin shots, special diets and even wound care. Here Sam shows off how well Pepper is doing on her inhaler for her chronic bronchitis! All dogs can learn, even ones with physical challenges. We are glad to have a staff that excels at this so we can accommodate a variety of needs. #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #insta_dog #dogsincharlotte #doglover #ruffpost #bestwoof #puppy #doglovers #dogloversclub #dogtraining #dogtrainer #boardandtrain #doglessons #doglife #puppyplaytime #dogtrainernearme #ilovemydog #doglove #trainmydog #doglessons #trainplaylive #TPL #looseleashwalking

We were so blessed to receive this video this morning. We have awesome clients and we are so thankful for all the hard work they put in once their dog goes home. Many owners do not realize that just because their dog does awesome things for us, it doesn’t mean that they automatically do that for them as soon as they go home. Clients like Marissa make us so proud when they get it! They understand that the amazing transformation they’ve seen their dog go through still takes work after the Go Home Lesson and all the Follow Ups take place Marty was a tough case and totally did not trust strangers. He and his brother had some major 90lb spats. Life was becoming stressful for this awesome young lady and her Mom Thank you Marissa for helping Marty live in the moment! You worked through all of his fearful/reactive moments with his brother and out in public. I’m so glad the reward of the vet visit came to fruition today! Remember, without you doing your part, trusting the process and expecting what you ask for, this wouldn’t have happened 😃 Clients that listen and apply what they have learned rock!! You are in our top ten list!!
