I just walked into my house. This is the reaction you want from your dogs. They don't care if you come home and they don't care if you leave. There is no anxiety with anything. They are completely and totally independent. I walked in the door stood there for about 10 seconds and took this picture. These are dogs that have no anxiety. These are dogs that are respectful. These are dogs that are happy, they don't have to worry about me.

Today's in home was with sweet, timid Roxy. She had pretty severe separation anxiety. Would totally trip out in the crate. We have a game plan. Looks like she's going to do great with it.

Spring is on the way...There's going to be more and more foot traffic walking by your house. There will be more people coming to your house. The days are going to be longer and warmer. You're going to be taking your dog out for a walk more often. There will be more time spent outdoors. I think you should probably get scheduled with me to help with some of those pesky behaviors (you know the ones) Maybe you need a refresher or a little tune up 🙂 My first openings aren't until April. Don't wait too long, because if you wait until Spring to call, I probably won't have an opening until mid Summer... just a little friendly reminder guys. 586-549-8605.

What does your dog need from you? That is the big question. Some need this and some need that. What is this and that? It all depends. I'll figure it out for you right then and there on the spot. 586-549-8605.

Multiple dog households...You have multiple dogs with multiple issues...Right? The issues themselves, in general, is from a lack of understanding of those dogs...your dogs. You've been doing the things the way you've been doing them for a while now. Now...you have to change the way you do
things/approach things...Or else, there will be no change in your dogs behaviors. Your behavior dictates your dogs behavior...If you go back to your old ways, so will your dogs. And don't forget, that each dog may need a little different version of YOU during certain situations. There's nothing cookie cutter about it...Just keepin' it real.

Straight forward approach that empowers you and teaches your dog trust, respect and independence. EVERYTHING is interconnected and easier than you think (for the most part). My experience has taught me that. All issues you may be having with your dog can be alleviated with the proper approach and mindset. There are limitations to the easily though :-) some of those dogs of yours may need a few sessions. YOU may need a few sessions 😃 if you believe it can be done then it can be done. I got you.

PUPDATE: APOLLO Not mugging the kids😃

PUPDATE: LOKI This is big stuff right here. Phone consultation with how to guide Loki on a treadmill. Loki was a legitimate scary dog at the door and with anyone he didn't know. Two in homes with him and his human really jumped in feet first to help train him. He needs his human tremendously. His fear and reactivity level was right in my top 10 percentile...Copy and pasted. Yes I did speed it up but it won't let me download more videos. I had him on a fast walk 30 min ...will keep increasing as the days go by .

Gooo Lions!!!!

An AMAZING!!! PUPDATE: This was just sent to me. These two were never going to get along LOL. Oh wait, the humans took their time, followed my instructions. Boom!!! Look who's becoming buds! ❤️ We can't thank you enough! ❤️

Todays Pack Walk...

PUPDATE: LARRY Being normal at the fence line finally. He's the big guy on the right.

Meaty in the wild...

Bruno say goodnight....❤️ Goodnight Bruno.

PUPDATE:WEASEL...he's a pack walk member and has lots of pent-up excitability and energy. I wanted his humans to take him for a bike ride. They said he kind of struggled and I said just do it again and get him used to the bike. It'll be great for him. They just sent me this. Just a real quick video. Weasel looks pretty good. Copy and pasted: Got Weasel out for a bike ride! He was a little apprehensive at first. I hooked him up and rode around the yard a bit, then once he got comfortable we hit the road. He did great! There were a couple dogs that barked at him and several squirrels but he didn't pay them much attention at all.

Todays packy walky...

The epitome of balanced dog training... we use positive reinforcement throughout using clickers and treats. But, when that wasn't enough we used the vibration collar. When Chance dog broke from the fixation by the vibration collar, he was then praised and given treats... and this of course is not ME using the technique. This is a client. I'm not just walking around showing everybody what I do. It's not about me. This is all about you, the client. Is it perfect? No. Nothing is. But we build from there. We evolve. The dog evolves.

Today's in home was with Auggie. I don't know. Looks pretty good to me :-) his human just needed a little bit of proper technical training to achieve desired behaviors. Now to stay consistent and active.
