VERY HELPFUL FOR PUPPY PARENTS

04/08/2025

Lily and Lumi: Mini Goldendoodles (Lily is obviously going to be bigger 😂)
Puppy training and Behavior Modification Training for Lily: She had high attention seeking and demanding behaviors.
Behavior Modification Training for Lumi: She is an insecure and fearful girl. We worked through building confidence, structure, and boundaries.

Marilyn: 2 year old pit mix (name might change)
Basic Training: Marilyn is a special girl. She is deaf. All commands were taught in ASL. She's such a smart and sweet girl. Literally, she is one of the sweetest, most mellow girls that I've met. 💗 She has already picked up, sit, down, place, stay, come, wait, watch me. Her owners are working on the commands daily 😁

Milo: 2 year old Yorkie

Georgia: 4.5 month old Teacup Poodle, 2.5 lbs!
Puppy training, separation anxiety, and teaching impulse control. Very smart little girl!
*She's getting her first Grooming soon. Taught owner how to desensitize her to touching different parts of her body. She's a confident and happy little girl.

🐾Friendly reminder:
- A dog needs consistency with training
- Desensitization training with things that cause anxiety. (Zoe used to try to attack the vacuum and bite at the handheld part)
- Go over training they already know (Just because they had it down before, doesn't mean you stop continued with it)
- Mix obedience into play! Make it fun
- Do activities to build your dog's confidence 😊

I'm sorry, but I need to be transparent and vent. It not only breaks my heart, but also upsets me, so see how many dogs people are trying to rehome. I understand when it is physical emergencies (such as allergies, death, etc...). But a dog is a commitment. They aren't just things to throw away or give away like a Christmas present that you no longer use. To say, "We don't have the time to dedicate to them" or "The dog needs more space" or "We just can't deal with the behaviors" "We don't have the finances" just baffles me.
I am a dog trainer with my own business.
1. There are so many resources out there to help you with your pup.
2. Every dog will have some sort of behavioral issue, even over excitement, etc... Search to learn about Dog Psychology and Body Language. There are so many trainers even online that have reels, links, etc...
3. I have seen homeless individuals, take better care of their dogs, than those with have money.
4. Dogs have emotions, every time there is a big change, it takes them time to decompress and adjust. This usually is accompanied by behavioral changes and issues.
5. There is a pandemic in CA, the shelters are flooded, rescues are full and do not have enough fosters.
6. You made the decision to get a dog, now keep that commitment, and do whatever it takes to keep your furry family member.

❤️Update: A girl picked him up today and has experience with the breed! I'm going to help with any training and acclimating so that they all succeed! Me and another girl are also trying to help with housing resources. Thank you all for your desire to help! There is still good in this world 🥰❤️
🚨Emergency help for Dog🚨
There is a girl that needs to immediately rehome her pup. She's in a terrible situation, but knows she has to do what is best for him. She has been living in her car with her children. She can't keep her dog in the car, especially with the heat and her car overheated. She is in Anaheim. 1 year old Blue nose Pocket Bully. He's good with other dogs, great with kids. He is still intact. But he does not have behavioral problems. She doesn't want him just to go to anyone, for his safety. I have reached out to 2 rescues, but I haven't heard back. I'm just trying to help. She's heartbroken. He sleeps at her kids' feet every night. I have been in contact with rescues and I'm doing whatever I can to help.

Nalu is now 9 months. She met two other labs yesterday. She is doing amazing with her basic obedience and socialization. Teaching her owner how to read her body language and the body language of other dogs. She's made a few friends in the last 2 weekends. So proud of both of them!

A large percentage of dogs are afraid of fireworks 🎆
First: Make sure that your dogs have up to date identification: tags, microchips.
Second: Make sure to tired your dog out! Long walk, runs, mental stimulation activities, etc...
Third: If on hand, use a thunder shirt, CBD, trazadone (this is for severe anxiety).
Fourth: Desensitize your dog to firework sounds, YouTube, sounds on smart device, etc... Pair with positive, by treating and reinforcing calm behavior. Give a filled Kong, or frozen mental stimulation toy/activity, while sounds are playing.
Fifth: During Fireworks, Close blinds, turn on the TV or music on Loudly.
