Do you have a dog you can't trust? Always pulls on your walk? Annoys and jumps on your guests? Maybe even a new puppy!? Well help is on the way! Give me a call or write me an email so we can discuss what I can do for you!
Let's take a moment and appreciate Pancake's nail transformation! She would not let her owners trim her nails which made them a dangerously long length. Nails that you can hear on your floor are TOO LONG! And nails that are too long affect their gate, bone structure, joint pressure, and causes ALOT of discomfort. Imagine wearing high heals all day long, not so great. But we have come such a long way working every day ensuring not to grt her quik a single time. I'm so proud of her!
Add structure into your ball time to make it even more beneficial. This helps so much with impulse control as well! I refer to it is red light/green light we all remember playing as kids. Go run play chase, but stop when I need you to!
Good morning from my favorite little red head 🖤
Pancake is so proud of herself during her field trip this morning! Check our our video we posted!

It sure looks like it is going to be a beautiful day! How so you plan to take advantage of it?!
These 4 hot dogs had quite the fulfilling day!
Confidence building can be practiced is so many ways! Pancake did NOT want to step foot on this log. So we practiced and she quickly made it fun!
Aspen apparently has strong feelings about collecting eggs together and her not getting one 😋🤣

Pancake can not believe the AUDACITY of the old man hogging her place while she played 🤣🤷♀️
Some special bone broth in the slow cooker for my crew! This batch includes fresh fennel bulb, dandelion root leaves, cumin, fresh ginger and fresh tumeric, beef marrow bones, along with dried chamomile and peppermint tea that will steep later as I let the broth come down to room temp. It is high in vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, iron, and potassium. Can help with indigestion, gas, and general GI health.
What another beautiful day!
When you're having the best 2 week staycation EVER! Tongue out...Thursday 🤷♀️

Jay says a few more minutes please 😅
Everyone stay safe in this afternoons round of storms! We are all hanging out indoors until it passes over!
Pancake had her first swim here during her 2week Stay & Learn!! School with My K-9 Trainer, LLC is fun 😉
Pancake is having fun during her 2 week Stay & Learn! Today is Day 3! Her sit and down have become much stronger and reliable on many different textures. Leash walking has greatly improved. She has become mu h more aware of "no jumping" on guests. That means it will soon be field trip time!!
The girls, Pancake & Aspen, have clocked out for the night. A day full of fun and plenty of brain work wore her out! Proud of this sweet girl we are making baby steps in the right direction.
Little bit of free time down my the pond. Lots of noises and distractions she handled great. We've talckled alot of her trouble areas today and she has aced all of them. No jumping on people, whining is improving, the vaccum was a breeze, nail trimming is improving. She is very eager to learn and aims to please.
Everyone was happy that the sun finally decided to come out! Working on recalls and boundaries for some time!
We are onto day 2 with Pancake! She did great overnight and I am eager to work ALOT with confidence building today. She has a tendency to whine...alot. Out of arousal weather that be from excitement, anticipation, insecurities, she struggles peocessing those big emotions. Also having some codependency of needing to be around other dogs. With more confidence she thrive in so many more areas!
P.S. they all say it's too early for pictures and cuddles are better 🤣
You guys...PLEASE READ this pupdate I just got from Rocky's mom:
"An update I posted … I am sooo proud of Rocky and how great he is doing while camping! He has had two training sessions over the last month and we work with him daily and it shows! No pulling when on walks, no reacting when other dogs are barking at him while walking or when they walk past our campsite."
I AM SO FREAKING PROUD of his family!! Now Rocky is able to enjoy camping with his family and SO many more opportunities! You make my heart so happy!
Pancake has been dropped off for her staycation! She is taking advantage of our Stay & Learn program to help with jumping, impulse control, whining, bratty behaviors like hogging beds, space, etc, not attacking the vaccum, barking at loud noise, general confidence building, on and off leash skills, being calmer with nail trims, and more!
🖤 I am proud of you and your dog!
Rayne did AMAZING with Aspen during her Out & About lesson today!! Rayne struggled in the past with insecurities but has made leaps and bounds of progress! I couldn't be more proud of her!

One of the many aspects of my 2 week Stay & Learn Program that I take pride in is how your pet will be treated as one of my own while they're here...aka spoiled rotten 😘🖤
This is what training with your dog should look like. Not flat, not sad, not only corporation. Training is all about building trust, teamwork, and a healthy relationship. It's not a bardering system! Look at who aced her second "real world" training field trip! Pancake did excellent managing her excitement around other people and other dogs (even the little ankle bitter that wanted to eat her). She was able to regain focus smoothly after distractions and calm herself much quicker. I am LOVING this girls blosoming confidence in herself.
Pancake had fun in her first field trip while here for her 2 week Stay & Learn! Loaded up in the kennel like a pro, stayed in a down during the drive, waited to be released to come out of the car, and had the expectation to stay calm and no whining during all the above! She LOVESSS people, that was her biggest challenge. Staying focused took a little work in the beginning as well. Otherwise she did well!
SHARE Please be a responsible pet owner this year!
Pancake got to practice real life training while our chewy package got delivered and got to practice manners around the driver! Great work girly!💪💪💪
Early afternoon woods stroll! The crew enjoyed collecting sticks, running as fast as they could to see who was fastest, jumping and running over logs, practicing "leave it", come when called, sit and down stays, all while making it fun!
The Place Command is useful in MANY scenarios! My personal favorite way to utilize it is when having guests over. The doorbell rings, I ask my crew to go to their Place, and I can trust they will remain there until released. The foundation of teaching that AMAZING skill (you will also look realllllly cool to your guests) is this exercise here. Practicing sending them to their bed. This is the most common area where where dogs get confused. Where do I go?! But Pancake is nailing it!
Pancake is prone to getting car sick when traveling so we have been working on desensitization to the idea of going for a car ride. If you think about it, we get dressed, get our shoes on, certain leash and collar, certain bag, grab our keys, all in the anticipation of going for the car ride. All of these can be triggers for your pet inducing stress! Another example being how amped up a dog may get going for a walk, jumping, biting the leash, spinning in circles, etc. Whining when they notice that you put a certain pair of shoes on or grabbed a specific item. All of these are stress responses and over arousal that should be managed! Desensitizing is about teaching them that these routines and actions aren't something to weigh concern on. Still encouraging them to be excited about these ideas but not encouraging the overthinking to begin!
How your dogs respond to stressors is a result of your efforts with them! Such as the vaccum, if they attack it, become anxious, hide, etc., you haven't done your homework on desensitization with this item! It is easier than you think 😉 reach out and I can teach you how!
Unlocking off leash freedom!
Only on day 4 of Pancake's 2week Stay & Learn! Look how well she is doing!
4 dogs & 1 door way. Practice impulse control in every day scenarios!
Mid day swim time!
Nail trims don't have to be a challenge when properly conditioned to the task! I'm am very very proud of Miss Pancakes progress!
The girls decided to tag team and "sneak" up on Legend 😅😅 I won't be the one to tell them that he totally saw them coming
This journey has been such a blessing, it has taught me SO much, all the blood and sweat that went into it. I am eager to welcome your K9s and share our indoor kennel & training space for their 2 Week Stay & Learn, Day Training, and more!
Mia did excellent in her first lesson this afternoon! This gal can be quite impulsive, alot of jumping, play biting, pulling, etc. Today we gave her the confidence to slow down and learn how fun walks actually can be!
No matter the distraction, no matter the environment, you & your dog should be able to enjoy your time together!
