Honestly, it's one of Gus's favorites 😂😍
It's such a great outlet for his energy - and any frustration accumulated during our walk.
And he obviously really enjoys it!
So we use it!
Remember, anything your dog LIKES can be a reward - so get creative!

I'm introducing a new program to fast-track your dog's progress: ✨ Day Training! ✨
Here’s how it works:
🐾 Morning pickup (8–9 AM)
🐾 A full day of personalized training and enrichment
🐾 Evening drop-off (4–5 PM)
Your dog will come home happy, fulfilled, and calm.
Looking for faster results? I also offer a Boot Camp—the supercharged program. One or two weeks (Monday–Friday) focused on building solid foundations so you can enjoy your dog at their best.
Spots are limited, so reserve your dog’s place today!
DM me or clock here 👉 https://www.qysdogtraining.com/day-training to learn more & sign up ♥️
SANTA YNEZ AREA ONLY (for now)
Stop staring at dogs you don't know.
Everyone's life would be so much easier...
And dogs would be happier, more confident, and less reactive...
If y'all would STOP STARING.
Help the dogs you encounter (and their people) by being polite and respectful.

Structure is how you set your dog up for success.
It's how you answer all of your dog's questions.
It's how you teach them good habits and give them the skills they need to navigate our world effectively.
Too much freedom doesn't feel good for an anxious dog - it feels like a lack of clarity and much-needed guidance.
But being strict means giving clear communication, so your dog knows what they're supposed to do. And that can alleviate SO MUCH STRESS.

Your dog needs to learn how to be at PEACE rather than BORED.
And that takes practice.

Great recall, walks in a heel - he's a pretty good dog 😆
THE TEEFS!
It cracks me up every time 😂😂😂

She's not GIVING ME a hard time; she's HAVING a hard time.
So I took her time to get her engaged and responding appropriately to the leash.
This is why I do a warm up with EVERY dog:
1️⃣ To help them focus BEFORE we do anything challenging.
2️⃣ To guage how distracted they are, so I can adjust our activities accordingly.
It makes a WORLD of difference.

1. Leash pressure and recalls
2. Drop leash and recalls
3. Off leash freedom
