Hey folks, just a reminder that this girl is still in need of a permanent home. Harper is a year old. Irish Setter/Golden Retriever mix. She’ll do best in a structured home with no children. She’s gone through training and knows all of her commands. Adopt her and I’ll help you maintain her training…free. Let’s spread the word and get her adopted quickly.

This young boy came in for a brief consult but these little ones with the baby faces are the ones to watch out for.
It starts innocent enough…a little extra affection here and there, a chuckle at their bossy demands, maybe letting them slide when they ignore a rule.
Then—BANG!—They’re running the house.
Lesson of the day: Set the rules first. Be the leader.

I put a good amount of work into this dog, as he was a challenge to work with. Many late nights repeating behaviors and sharpening skills. In the end, I can confidently say that he’s better off with his training and as a family pet than he was when he first arrived. I’m proud of you Apollo and I’ll miss your craziness, maybe.

Eowyn is nearing the end of her first week of training. That first week can be a shock to the system for some dogs. The structure, the training, the establishment of new boundaries…all can take some time to adjust to. Yet, once they turn that corner they often begin to see their environment and handler in a new light. No doubt that it can be stressful for myself as well. Good thing I took my Tylenol.

This beautiful girl went through a board and train with me a few months ago. Incredibly sharp, quick learner. Now, Harper, needs a new home. Let’s help her find one.
An Irish setter/golden retriever, she’s a one year old, who is incredibly sweet and high energy. The ideal setting for her would be preferably with no children and an owner who can engage her in an active lifestyle.
I offer additional training and support to anyone who adopts her. Send me a DM, text me, or leave me a message in the comments and I’ll reach out to you.

Eowyn (Lord of the Rings character. If you know, you know) came in a few days ago for a full month of training. Sweet girl but not entirely confident and feels the need to guard the new baby in the family. No good considering she’s used her teeth in the past. I have plenty of time with her to help establish some good positive habits. Good vibes all around.

Tonight’s distraction training will be large bright orbs in the sky. The ballon festival has begun. I don’t think Apollo’s impressed.

The initiative aims to address the persistent issue of animal cruelty in the county and prevent convicted abusers from adopting or purchasing animals.
This boy just signed up for a 3 week board and train, and damn is he a sweetheart. Looking forward to spending time with you Roscoe.

Overstimulation is one of the biggest struggles I see in dogs today.
Birds fly by, a dog walks past, the doorbell rings—and suddenly it’s chaos. Many dogs take all their cues from the environment, and every little thing becomes a reason to lose control.
Sometimes, it doesn’t even take much. A guest entering the home, or even just a human touch, can send a dog into wild excitement. We often accidentally reward it, which only makes the behavior stronger.
That’s why one of the most valuable skills a dog can learn is calmness and stillness.
Apollo is in week two of his three-week program, working on exactly that. Right now, his body is restless because his mind is unsettled—but each day, he’s learning how to slow down, relax, and focus. The progress is real, and the transformation is already noticeable.
Calm isn’t just a state of being—it’s a skill. And it’s one of the most important ones your dog can learn.

I’ve been working with dogs in one capacity or another since my childhood in Brooklyn. My love and affinity towards animals made it only natural that my progression should be towards helping them navigate their way through life.
The culmination of my education (although the learning never ends) had led me to try different methods and approaches when working with dogs and seeking an outcome but one thing has remained a constant and that is the focus on the relationship between human and dog.
As I continue in my career, the need to educate both ends of the leash becomes an obvious means of achieving the results that my clients want. Ultimately it means a life with mutual trust, respect, and understanding.
