Houston has graduated!

We did 6 private lessons with this little dude and the progress has been so rewarding to see.
When we first met he was a fence fighter, he was anxious and fearful even in his own front yard, he was going potty in the house and causing lots of chaos overall.
We firstly addressed the baseline structure needed in the house, then we taught them how to build a meaningful relationship with him through training and play. We taught him how to play tug properly to give him and his owners not only an outlet for his energy but also to help build their relationship and establish clear communication even through high arousal.

A scared dog might be willing to accept food, but they will never be willing to engage in play. Using play to rehabilitate fear and anxiety is such a great way to reveal the genuine mindset of the dog in front of you as well as being a great outlet for their desire to chase and catch and thrash.

Houston isn’t having any accidents in the house, yet we never directly addressed potty training. Simply fixing up the baseline foundation led to the unwanted behaviors disappearing.
He is now a confident little dog that will recall on a dime, climb trees that once terrified him, and remain neutral around new people and dogs.
We addressed his structure, we addressed their relationship, we sprinkled in a little obedience and a lot of play, and 6 weeks later we’ve got a new and improved dog.

If your dog struggles with anxiety or problem behaviors, shoot me a message so we can help!

Luca just arrived for his puppy board and train!
He is a 14 week old long haired dachshund.
Our main focus is on kennel training, potty training, leash manners, name recognition and proper socialization.
We are going to give this little dude the best possible head start in life so he learns from the very beginning how to be a good canine citizen 🖤
It’s only day 2 and we are already making some great progress!

Houston was so tired after our private lesson today. He just plopped down while I spoke with his owners about their homework for the week.
Making a dog think is far more exhausting than taking them for a run.
I’m not saying not to run your dogs, but if you’re looking for a way to burn some energy, put their brain to work rather than their body. Going for a run every day is simply going to build an athlete that wants to go longer and faster next time.
The key is finding the perfect balance between physical activity and mental activity. You still need to keep their body moving and fulfill those genetic needs as well, but too many people focus too much on physical stimulation and lack the mental challenges. Both are important to have a well rounded and completely fulfilled dog.

Here is a photo dump of a few of our current private lesson and board and train clients! (I’m sure I’ll get around to posting more of them soon, but no promises)

They’re all super cool in their own ways and I am so grateful to be helping them and their owners thrive.

This picture pretty much sums things up for me.

This is what I do this for.

This look from Jib is what fuels me.
It’s what fulfills me.

When Jib arrived he was nervous of his new surroundings and had almost zero value in humans.
He didn’t care to interact with me much, just spent his time at a distance interacting with the environment.

But now? I can’t get this guy off my hip(in a healthy way)
He thinks I’m the coolest thing on the planet.
The way he looks at me with stars in his eyes just shows me how far we’ve truly come.
He is engaged, he is eager, and he loves to learn.

Building this relationship with dogs and teaching their owners to do the same is why I do what I do.

This is what I was made for.

Lost dogs always seem to find their way to me.
After leaving a client today we saw this sweet guy, BB, running along a busy street in New Braunfels and scooped him up.
The fireworks hadn’t even started yet!
Luckily he had a tag with a number and address so we were able to drive him straight home and his family was so pleased to have him back safely.
We are gonna do a private lesson with them to teach him about threshold manners. He slipped out the door without anyone noticing and took himself for a little stroll. Luckily he is back home safe and sound and we have been allowed the opportunity to teach him not to do that crazy s**t again!
This is your friendly reminder to identify your dog with collars, tags, microchips, etc. it took less than 10 minutes to grab him and get him back home safely. That is rarely the case as most dogs are unidentifiable and end up in shelters or worse.
Stay safe tonight!
Keep your pets inside. In their kennel. If they need to potty, take them on leash.
If your dog struggles with fireworks, work with them before the holidays come! Training and desensitizing your dog to fireworks could save their life and save you and them a lot of stress.
Shoot me a message if you need help and we can get you sorted before the 4th of July.

Gracie learning place -> Gracie after learning place
Shelby learning place -> Shelby after learning place

Remember that sometimes just a simple training session with clear expectations can be more tiring and more fulfilling than an hour walk.
I’m not saying don’t walk your dog, but if you’re looking to tire them out, work their brain, not their body.

This is Noodle, formerly known as Omen. His full AKC name is actually MMKs Good Omen For The Wild, if we’re being technical. However. That name has evolved over the years to being mostly Noodle or Tony. The science behind this is as follows: Omen> Lomen> Lomen Noodle> Noodle Tony> Tony>Noodle>. Hope that clears things up! What did you intend to name your dog and what silly name has since taken its place? (And why, as pet owners, are we like this!?)

We are back from vacation!
Hit me up if you need to schedule a lesson, boarding or board and train!

Hunny was just here for refresher boarding after nearly 5 years and I was so impressed to see how well her training has been maintained. I love to see it!
