Tough life of Board and Trains in my home. Friday (my couch friend’s name) sure thinks so.

I try many new products and have been returning to Freedom Harness for years.

Meet Wolfie. I helped him become a better boy for his family years back. This is his personal couch. He is allowed the 😀. I came back to help his new sister. So nice to visit previous clients. It is like running into old friends.

I am going to have to write off my living room rug as a business expense as my tiny Board & Train, Dusty, the Doodle, wears out a path.

This video is from 2011. I was working with my Dane, Vito, on match to sample. He was such an awesome dog.

When Vito was 9-11 months old we played around with Match to Sample. We have not touched it for the past 7 months. I wanted to see if he still remembered. He...

Meet Barley, the Beagle pup. The cutest of the cutest 4 month old. But beware, Beagle will make you a better trainer.

Took my clients, Hamish (cream) and his sister Hazel (black) swimming at AquaPups in Charlotte. All Hazel wanted to do is dunk her brother and take his toys 😂

Hamish is thinking about being up to something. A moment of pondering before taking off.

Earl, the Griffi, my Board and Train, does have eyes. He really does. They are there, I promise.

My student, Phoebe, says the chewie helps her think better.

Who says dogs are not self-sufficient. My friend’s pup carries his own “bag”... and a leaf.

The yellow fuzzy is my past Board & Train, Bella, who is visiting my friend, April. My guests are always well socialized.

Board & Train Dobby is enjoying our back yard.

My Gaia and OBie are on a shady walk on a hot day.

These are the days we need a good laugh.

My OBie is climbing on JoggADog. Such a good dog.

My past Board & Train, Bella, came back for a visit while her family is on vacation. So frequently small dogs are underestimated in their toughness and intelligence. Bella is super smart and very resilient. You should see her try to kill a stuffed bee 😂

Viruses pass, well trained dogs
are for a lifetime. I am giving away FREE 45-minute consultations via Skype or FaceTime for owners of puppies under 6 months or recently adopted dogs. In these troubling times we cannot underestimate the importance of puppy training or incorporating newly adopted dogs.

Elizabeth and I went for a walk at Freedom Park. Number of other dog trainers we saw - 5. Number of electric collar buttons per dog trainer in the park - 2.5. We brought the average down. 😀 Elizabeth said she had fun.

So proud of Monte. Before our training sessions he used to bark and lunge at other dogs. All in an attempt to meet. Now he is calm with expectations of simply walking by. Good job Monty and his parents.

Look who I got to work with 😄. Melon and Mango. Yes, these are their names. Who could ever forget these adorable Corgis?

It has been raining non-stop. I now have these guests in my household: a Rottweiler, a Golden Retrievers and 3 Dirt-a-Doodles 😀

Max is 4 months and 1 week of age. He has been with me for 2 weeks in Board and Train Program. One more week left to perfect his skills. He is practicing settle the cot. Handsome and smart! What a combination 🙂
