Just some beautiful pictures I’ve taken. Mister Kip is boarding while his family is out of town. He’s loving every second of Sean’s attention 😂

Due to recent events our policy has changed. As all of my current clients are aware I am very trusting and flexible. Sadly it took one bad egg to create a policy change.

Board and training is going to be put on hold until after January as I am working on some big changes for the dogs. I will now require half of the amount up front at drop off, and paid in full before time of pickup. Payments can be made in the interim of B&T. Must be paid in full prior to pickup.

It saddens me that I trusted someone to do the right thing and my future clients will now be affected by it.

I hope all is well! With all these nice days out let’s get some paws on the ground going for some nice long walks!

Kips basic manners have come so far. We’ve worked on his issues of nipping and dominance to where he is way more sound and less likely to bite

Something that I’ve learned over the years as a trainer/rehab/foster dog mom. Not all dogs can be positive trained, not all dogs can be balance trained, and not all dogs can be adverse trained. Each dog has specific needs. You can’t positive reinforce a 100LB bite machine just as you can’t adverse train a high anxiety abuse case.

Please remember if you aren’t seeing progress after months that your trainer could be using tactics that just isn’t suited for your dog. I personally balance train. I taper to what the dog needs. A good trainer isn’t going to tell you one way is the only way. A good trainer will explain to you a dogs behavior/body language, explain what they are doing and why, individualize a training plan that is for your dogs needs. All dogs thrive off of something different. Every trainer can always learn something new. I’ve been exposed to training since I was 4 years old. I’ve been a professional trainer for 8 years, I’ve shadowed under 5 trainers in different states, I’ve completed my CCPDT, I’ve worked closely with vets, I graduated from college, yet every good trainer STILL learns. Every good trainer will tell you that they don’t know everything. I’ve seen some great trainers on here and some that think one way or the highway. At the end of the day do what’s best for YOUR dog. If you don’t like something a trainer is doing speak up, if you’re confused ask questions. Trainers don’t fully run the show. We are here to guide you, teach you, and create the perfect bond between you and your dog. YOU call the shots.

My pack with a foster. 2 positive only, 1 adverse only, 4 balance trained.
