Offering real solutions to the most common challenges that pet parents face
Ace's Pace was born out of the love for a rambunctious, goofy German Shepard/Husky mix with big feelings who taught me how to truly listen to the dogs in my life and to take things at their pace. Ace taught me not only what it feels like to be a reactive dog parent but how to foster a relationship that accommodates to both the needs of the people and the dogs. At Ace's Pace, our aim is to provide
real solutions to the most common challenges that pet parents face. Through expert behavioral coaching and applying kind, approachable, and humane principles, we are here to help you alleviate all of that unwanted stress that can come with raising a dog. All services focus on providing quality knowledge on pet communication, socialization and science-based behavioral theory. No matter what service you book with us, you’re guaranteed to learn everything there is to know about what it means to share your life with a dog.

Once a year, we take Ace to go play in the snow. ❄️
Last year (pre-dog attack) we rented a cabin with lots of land, horses, and a couple of other dogs that he got to play with. He also learned how to use their doggy door because he didn’t want the play to stop. He made friends with the horses and then tried herding them when they got too excited for his liking. This trip was the trip that made us decide this would be a yearly tradition. He loves playing in the snow and experiencing farm life so much we wanted to give him opportunities to express that side of himself.
This year (post dog attack), our trip looked very different. We got a different airbnb with less land for him to run around on with no dogs or horses. We could instantly see how different of a dog he was compared to last year. He had a harder time with the trip and adjusting to a new place which really showed in his diarrhea and alertness to the environment. He was extra sensitive to me and my movements the first day or so but once we hit the snow, it was like nothing had changed. He romped around, bunny hopped, dug, licked and chomped on the snow.
Our trip this year was different. Not worse, limited, or lesser than before Ace struggled with reactivity. Just different. Living with a reactive dog is all about finding ways to let them be a dog in a safe way that helps them build confidence in themselves and the world around them. I get a lot of clients with reactive dogs saying they just want to be able to experience the world with their dog and to you I say, do it! Prepare for it, train for it, set your dog up for success, take baby steps, and do it. If you need help along the way or don’t know where to start, reach out and I’ll be there to support you the whole way.
The different sides of Ace ☺️
The sensitive side 🥺
The guy with big feelings that whines when people hand something to his people through the drive thru window. The one that runs home when a big dog barks at him. That paws for help when he hears noises that makes him nervous. The boy that just has a hard time with change.
The very dog side 🐕
The little boy that loves his sniffy walks, has high prey drive with squirrels & rates/mice, loves herding ducks, geese, and horses, and will lick and eat horse p**p if given the chance.
The silly side 😋
The Ace that bunny hops in the snow, that talks at you with his roos when you come home or to invite play. The boy that lays butt up, head down so that you can give him butt scritches. The one that always has to lay on pillows even if he can’t fit.
It’s not always easy living with a sensitive boy with big feelings about the world. Sometimes these feelings end up being directed towards me, his mom but without that very important part of Ace, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to learn and grow our relationship. Ace has made me a better dog mom, trainer, behavior consultant. He’s taught me not only the dog’s experience but given me real life experiences with the emotional human side as well. 🥰

It can be nerve wrecking trying to introduce your dog to another dog especially if there’s a history of fights. That’s where having a qualified dog trainer can really help take the stress off of you while keeping everyone safe. I offer this type of support FREE to existing clients to continue supporting them in their life long journey with their dogs. Read on to learn more about Ace and Scarlett’s play date walks!Scarlett loves playing with her human friends and has a history of playing with some other small dogs but is scared of bigger dogs. She wants to play but then immediately runs away when bigger dogs start running towards her or initiate play.Ace loves playing with other dogs and his people in 1-1 sessions but can get nervous and fearful around other dogs in close proximity. He’s still figuring out how he feels about other dogs and how to navigate social interactions post attack.Ace and Scarlett showed interest in each other in their first session and had a couple of greetings but were both still a bit unsure about each other. In their second session together, they were both much more comfortable being closer to each other right from the start! They started having more conversations about play while also learning to respect each other’s boundaries.🎉 Ace and Scarlett’s social skills have significantly improved over these last couple of sessions. 🎉Scarlett showed signs of feeling a bit conflicted about playing but was much more comfortable investigating Ace and co-existing at a closer distance. Despite their fearful learning history around other dogs, these sessions have shown to really leave both dogs and their people feeling excited about making doggy friends. 🐾We can’t wait for more session with Ace and Scarlett! They’re sure to be best buds soon! 😊#sacdogs #sacdogtrainer #sacramentodogs #sacramentodogtrainer #sacdogtraining #sacramentodogtraining #sactowndogs #sactownpup #reactivedogsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogsofsac #dogso
Happy Easter! 🐣We celebrated Easter with a little Easter egg hunt for Ace on our patio! This fun, easy, and cheap activity can be done inside your house, in a small yard, or any other place you can think of. As a reactive apartment dog, sometimes it takes some creativity to give Ace the fun outlets other dogs have easier access to but that won’t stop us from participating in festive activities! 🥳I got a small pack of medium sized eggs from dollar tree to make sure Ace wouldn’t accidentally swallow and choke on them and hid them around our apartment and on our patio. Ace was a bit unsure of what to do with the eggs at first but with some encouragement, was able to figure out how to crack them open! What a fun little activity for the season! 😊🐾#sacdogs #sacdogtrainer #sacramentodogs #sacramentodogtrainer #sacdogtraining #sacramentodogtraining #sactowndogs #sactownpup #easter #easteregg #easteregghunt2024 #dogeasteregghunt #reactivedogsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogsofsac #dogsofsacramento #reactivedog #reactivedogs #canineenrichment #enrichmentfordogs #dogparents #dog101 #dogtraining #dogreactivity #positivereinforcement #positivereinforcementtraining #poaitivereinforcementdogtraining
