Ollie was pleasantly surprised by how fun being in a new environment can be. He learned lots of new things at Sensitive Dog - got to be with his family and connect through deepened communication and meaningful work. Then everyone got to relax and feel tired and content - after a big expenditure of mental energy. What a great time! A for Attitude, Ollie!

If you know you know. And Kobri knows… Kobri is 14 and showed everybody today what a mature lady is capable of. She rocked scent training and then rocked waiting at doorways. She let her little brother work on Place because, frankly, she thinks he needs it more than she does. (She’s not wrong.) Kobri wants you to know that it is never too late to improve your communication with your dog, give them new ways to engage their minds and connect with you!

Parker and her family visited Sensitive Dog because she’s new to the family and needs help adjusting to her new life. We love helping families start off on the right foot with dogs of all ages. Parker has been in her new home for four weeks, and we were thrilled to meet her and her family to show them ways to aid her transition. Thanks for coming to see us! You’re a good girl, Parker!

We love working with pack dynamics! These two adorable masterminds have figured out a way to get undivided attention from their humans by getting into tiffs with each other. Pretty smart! However, there are better ways to give our dogs the connection they crave, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to teach their parents about this!

Ready for action!💥Can you see the energy radiating from this boy? Providing dogs with a constructive outlet for their intelligence and drive to do meaningful work is at the core of what we teach so many dogs and people, for so many different reasons! This boy was SO relaxed after he had the chance to show off his intelligence and work ethic!

✨Dogs are magic!✨ This angelic boy reminds us what a profound and positive difference clear communication can make to dogs. It may seem simple, yet a lot of people we meet are confused about how to clearly communicate with their dogs. We love resolving this confusion for our two- and four-legged clients!

We’re sure going to miss seeing this incredible girl and her mom at Sensitive Dog. Daisy is a character! Such a comedian, so full of love, and such a mastermind. Daisy’s favorite game is coming up with new and creative ways to outwit the humans around her—always with the biggest smile on her face. We love you, Daisy, and we are incredibly proud of the huge strides you and your mom have made. We know you knew the name of the game the whole time, so thanks for playing along. Your life-is-a-ball outlook is contagious, and you are a light in this world. Happy trails, friend.❤️

She's ONE! True to cattle dog form, Tansy is all the things — smart, sweet, loyal and pushy with big feelings and big ideas. She's our third cattle dog so we knew exactly what we were signing up for. Tansy was the perfect addition to our pack & Sensitive Dog. ❤️ Happy Birthday, Tans! You’re such a cool dog!

♥️ Differently Abled Dogs ♥️ Whether they’re like Cash, with three legs, or have some other impairment, these angels never cease to amaze us with their joyful hearts.

Cash is a remarkable tripod pup who overcame a challenging start after being hit by a truck as a stray. Now, he’s thriving with his loving family in Seattle. He’s a special boy, and we’re so proud of the good work he did today. Well done, Cash! ❤️

If you’re handsome and you know it, wear a bow tie! 👔Teddy reminds us that what most dogs crave more than anything is meaningful connection with their favorite humans through teamwork & shared tasks. This boy delivered some powerful messages to his humans tonight. Great work, Teddy! Now enjoy all those fun things you learned today!

✨Every dog is a teacher.✨Say hi to Gigi! This girl reminds us that highly sensitive, ‘reactive’ dogs thrive from having healthy boundaries with their humans. This girl has spent a few years pushing people around a bit, and tonight her Mama learned how to curb problem behaviors like jumping on guests and controlling attention, while building Gigi up and boosting her confidence. 🫶 It’s entirely possible to build your dog up while teaching appropriate behavior. 🫶We LOVE clarifying big concepts like this for people, so they can move forward with clarity and confidence, also! Good girl, Gigi!

This boy sure knows how to work a camera! Today, Cash joined us to learn not to jump on guests when they enter the house and to refrain from jumping on his humans when they hug and dance. Life can be exciting, but dogs can learn to control their impulses, and this boy rocked his session. Great job, Cash! Thanks for coming to see us! ❤️

Sensitive Dog is in full bloom. The flowers, berries and animals are loving the light and warm of the season. With family and friends visiting from different parts of the world, and all the expected and unexpected events life brings, we’re being intentional about taking it all in enjoying the ride. We’ve had so many amazing dogs come to Sensitive Dog this summer all with important things to teach their humans. Wishing you a wonderful season, wherever you are. #seattle #sensitivedog #dogbehaviorist #dogbehavior #dogtraining #dogtrainer #doglovers #obediencetraining #dogstagram #puppytraining #puppy #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dog #doglover #dogoftheday #dogsofinsta #doglife #teamdog #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescue

Fun in Cle Elum with my Pixie girl ✨

Our little cowdog,Tansy, learning to mind her manners in the “shoplifting” section at @allthebestpetcare. She’s learning that treats come from mom, not the bins! At least until we’ve purchased them. 😉

It was good to have the band back together yesterday. Tansy (Australian Cattle Dog) and her boyfriend, Sammy (Golden Retriever) are just two months apart!

We have a new nephew! 😍 This was day one of crate training for little Sammy. Such a breeze! #holisticdogbehaviorist #seattle #sensitivedog #dogbehaviorist #dogbehavior #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dog #doglover #dogoftheday #dogsofinsta #doglife #teamdog #goldenretriever #golden #puppies #puppy

Meet Yotee! (As in, “coyote”.) No, he doesn’t actually have coyote in him. Thanks to Embark, we know that this boy is Malinois, Malamute, German Shepherd, and a few other breeds. Yotee is skittish around people he doesn’t know and wary of things that look weird, like big backpacks on people. He started learning how to think while walking on-leash today, and he and his human did great! Good boy, Yotee. You’ve got this!#holisticdogbehaviorist #seattle #sensitivedog #dogbehaviorist #dogbehavior #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dog #doglover #dogoftheday #dogsofinsta #doglife #teamdog #coyote
