Welcome to the dojo of dog 😂🥋
If you know what command these hands movements shape, good job 💪🏼
(This is a joke y'all, feel free to laugh)

Day 3 of working "Under" with Cerberus. We expanded his training area by transitioning outside while maintaining a small learning space and began generalizing the command by introducing various objects for him to perform the command with. It's super important to break training down into steps like this. You also want to keep your sessions short and always end on a good note while your dog is performing well.
Some of y'a'll have been following me for a bit, and it's totally showing! Donna asked me to repost this comedy skit I made as a promo for one of our pack hikes a few years ago. Enjoy 😆
(This will probably be funnier for those who remember our old community pack walks.)
Perfect Vizsla puppy heel/strut in 3,2,1...
Only regret is that I wasn't recording from the other side 🤦🏼♀️
By now, you have likely recognized my affinity for shelter dogs. From a behavioral perspective, they present a unique opportunity for learning. In fact, they have significantly contributed to my understanding of canine behavior.
As a prospective pet owner considering adoption or fostering, it is essential to remember that patience is crucial. Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. developed the 3-3-3 guideline, which many rescues educate owners about. While the timeline is not the primary concern, it is vital to acknowledge that these dogs have often been subjected to unfavorable conditions and repeated relocations. Consequently, they require time to adjust to you, your family, other pets, and your home. Providing patience, space, and time to adapt is essential. Rushing the process can lead to undesirable behavioral issues, whereas allowing sufficient time sets your new dog up for a successful and fulfilling life with you.
As our city faces a stray crisis, there’s never been a better time to consider bringing a furry friend into your home. If you’re thinking about getting a dog, I sincerely hope you’ll consider adopting or fostering.

(Incase you were wondering, Helafax, the rescue in this video, has since been adopted ❤️🐾)
As requested, here's my thoughts on the city's decision to revert back to mass euthanizing for space
It seems we have a junior dog trainer in the LNL training family! Julie's grandson doing the Sit command with Bailey, using the ball as reward, is possibly one of the best things I've seen this week. Great job!
I'm loving these videos and updates y'all ❤️🎓🐾
🌟 Six Minutes with Axel 🌟
This evening was Axel's very first session with us, and I wanted to share some clips that highlight his impressive progress!
While other trainers might have hesitated to enter the house due to Axel's demeanor, we not only addressed his behavior, but also dove into leash training, worked on obedience, and had a lot of fun in the process.
It was an incredibly productive hour, and I'm so proud of what we accomplished together. If you have a "difficult" dog, remember—change is possible! Let's embark on this journey together.
Great job Kyndall & Axel 💪🏽🐾

Neveah's very first leash training session with Luna! Neveah gives a really nice correction with the leash right in the beginning of this video. A leash pop is just a simple flick of your wrist in a quick smooth back motion. It's not a pull. Pulling the dog back isn't the goal. The goal of a leash pop is to get your dog's attention and communicate with them to slow down. Ideally you don't want to have tension on the leash when you do it.
"Sniff" is the command or release word/cue that Naveah has chosen to let Luna know it's ok to wonder about and take a break. Very nice first session. Both these ladies did great.
Nala, a spirited dog with a high prey drive, takes center stage. Today marks a significant milestone as she steps outside her yard for the first time, ready to learn how to navigate the world with her e-collar. Her owners, committed to helping her manage her reactivity towards other dogs and distractions, have chosen this path to grant her both freedom and guidance.
As the session begins, Nala exhibits her usual curiosity, her eyes darting toward every rustle and movement. With the e-collar securely in place, her owners patiently guide her, reinforcing the importance of the “Come” command. Each successful response is met with praise, turning what could be a daunting experience into a rewarding one.
The progression clips capture the essence of their journey—Nala’s initial struggles transforming into moments of triumph. It’s not just about obedience; it’s about building trust and understanding. Training with the e-collar allows for immediate feedback, helping her learn that the command is serious, even amidst tempting distractions.
As the day unfolds, laughter mingles with focused training, highlighting the balance between seriousness and playfulness essential for both dog and owner. Nala thrives in this environment, growing more confident with each successful command. Today, she learns that there’s joy in obedience and freedom in understanding.
In the end, this training session is a testament to the bond between Nala and her owners. With patience, consistency, and a sprinkle of fun, they’re paving the way for a happy and obedient dog, ready to explore the world with newfound confidence.
Thanks to the cold weather, our indoor classes have opened up a whole other way to learn with a classic classroom environment that allows the owner the ability to retain and process information before applying to their dog. It would be unfair to those who pay for these classes to post and share them in their entirety. However, here is a sampling of Felicia bringing a bit of a comedic spin to the learning table.
**This video contains strong language**🤭
