I was asked to be a Mentor for aspiring dog trainers going through the same program as I did with . Eric is my first mentee and he shadowed through Gimlets puppy training for each session. Yesterday I did one of his 3 evaluations. Eric and his dog Vader did great! Eric works with K9 Warriors Inc (K9W) they are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 2014. Their mission is to provide training for veterans and their K9’s while facilitating their transition.

Cant wait to start working with Miss Carly and her Mom! She had a rough start at life. She has big big feelings about people at the window, coming in her home and on her walks. During our consultation we went over goals, management and things they can start to do right away to help her stress level. 🐾💛

I know it can be incredibly upsetting when your dog reacts.
Lunges❗
Growling
Barking💥
It really is an emotional journey for you both, clients just want to help their dog and their dogs are struggling.
Take a step back....write down some commonalities you have noticed.
Is 25 metres away from a trigger, but 15 metres too close ?
Great !!!! That's information you can use !
There is a brand video in the comments about how to shut down a reaction quickly and also how to really help a reactive dog.
Feel free to have a looksie.

Ever wondered what makes a therapy animal different?

It’s more than just a friendly face. Unlike service animals or emotional support animals (ESAs), you can go up to a therapy animal and ask to pet! Check out the other differences!

Did anything on this list surprise you? Leave us a comment!

Great info

Why do we only concentrate on the audible🤔
If we only wait for the bark, we are missing some BIG opportunities to make real change.
That barking is often the end result and if we only wait for that....we are missing the point completely.
Your dog was likely struggling before that bark and we need to start to recognise those little changes to really help them.

Rip and his Mom and Dad had their first training session today. They have done good work with him prior to me. We worked on focus, reliable sit and down and a heel exercise with an auto sit. He also wanted to share his new party trick! 🤣. Great job team Rip! 💛🐾

Great job Beignet and her Mom! Beignet is a sweet girl she is still decompressing with her new family. Her previous home she never was walked on leash and lived with multiple dogs. She has some leash reactivity which can be tough in a busy area. Mom has the tools to work with her now and this was today’s success. Thank you Nina and Buffy for helping out!

Team Gimlet graduated yesterday! I loved working with this family. I remember getting the call from them that they were getting a standard puppy and then starting puppy training. Watching him grow up and do so well throughout puppy training into basic obedience was awesome! Great job!
