Robin is thriving at Do Better Training 💙
We’ve been gearing up for his upcoming vet visit with lots of Happy Visits and practice sessions to build the skills he’ll need for a confident, Fear Free experience. From chin rest work to cooperative handling, this boy is showing us every day just how hard he’s trying — and we’re so proud of him! 🐾✨

Robin is available for adoption through A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter in Naperville — and he’s going to make an amazing companion for a very lucky family 💛

🎉Our Swamp Monster Princess is turning TWO this Saturday, and we celebrated in true Willow fashion today! 💚👑🐾

Willow hosted the ultimate doggy Rage Room Party at the training center—shredding cardboard boxes, tearing apart paper bags, and living her very best chaos-gremlin life with all her friends! 💥📦🤣

After the festivities, everyone enjoyed adorable paw-printed photo ops 📸🐶 and the most delicious dog-safe carob cake from Wet Nose Co. 🍰🤎 (Willow may have requested seconds… 👀).

To wrap up her big pre-birthday bash, Willow and her bestie took a magical adventure walk at Pottawatomie Park—sniffing, splashing, exploring, and celebrating the joy of being two and wild and wonderful. 🌳✨🐾

Happy early birthday, Willow! We love you, our muddy princess 💚✨

🌾🐴 When the trainers clock out… they still train! 😉

This year has been all about helping Sparrow feel safe, confident, and connected 💕 Watching her learn and grow alongside her steady buddy Rio is pure magic ✨ These two are starting to explore pattern work together — slow and steady, one step (and one snort) at a time 💪🐎

Because no matter the species, it’s always about building trust, creating calm, and doing better — together. 💚

🎓 Feisty Fido: Week 2! 🎉

Scoop had an absolute blast in class today — he showed off all his progress and really shined! 💪🐾 Of course, in true Scoop fashion, he decided to go full Kool-Aid Man through a barrier at one point 😅 but hey — what’s learning without a few joyful hitches along the way?

We’re so proud of this goofy boy and how much he loves learning with his friends at ADOPT Training for A Sound Beginning! ❤️ Every class is another step toward calmer, more confident walks — and a reminder that learning should be fun for everyone. 🐶💚

Happy 9th Birthday to our sweet Scoop! 💛 He’s been part of Dr. Andy’s family for just over a year now, and we can’t imagine life without him. After being abandoned, Scoop found his way into our hearts and has become such a joyful, loving, and resilient part of the Do Better family. We’re so grateful for his big heart, his gentle spirit, and every single smile he brings us. 💕

🦄🐂🦁 Happy Howl-oween from Do Better Training! 🎃✨

Halloween can be a blast—but it can also be overwhelming for our pets. Here are some Fear Free tips to keep tails wagging and stress low:

👻 Costumes
🎯 Train & Prep Before the Big Day – introduce costumes slowly with short, positive sessions. Let your pet sniff, explore, and wear it for just seconds at a time, rewarding calm behavior.
🙅‍♀️ Ditch It If It Causes Stress – costumes should only stay if your pet is comfortable. If you see signs of stress (stiff body, lip licking, trying to escape), celebrate with a cute bandana, collar, or themed toy instead.

🦴 Enrichment Over Candy
🍬 Chocolate & xylitol are toxic. Instead, keep pups busy with puzzle feeders, frozen Kongs, or special chews while you enjoy your treats.

🚪 Management Matters
👶 Use baby gates or keep pets behind closed doors to prevent accidental escapes during trick-or-treat hours.
🏷️ Double-check collars & ID tags, and make sure microchips are up to date—just in case.

🌙 Quiet Time Is Okay Too
Not every pet wants to join the spooky fun—and that’s perfectly fine! 💕 A cozy, quiet space away from the action (with a favorite bed, toy, or calming music) can be the best treat of all.

Because when we know better, we do better—our pets deserve a Halloween that’s fun AND fear-free. 🐾✨

✨ Sometimes the best moments come when our dogs just get to be dogs. 🐶💨 Today, Lulabelle had the time of her life “hunting” a chipmunk… let’s just say the chipmunk won. 😉 But the joy was all hers (and ours too, watching her!) 💕

🐕 Allowing our dogs to safely explore their instincts, sniff, chase (within reason!), and enjoy the world around them is such an important part of enrichment. It’s not always about “success” — it’s about the freedom, the fun, and the wagging tails. 🌿🌞

So here’s to celebrating the little adventures that make our dogs’ lives fuller (and way more entertaining for us)! 🐾✨

🎉🐱 Happy National Cat Day! 🐾✨

Cats aren’t just couch potatoes—they’re curious, playful, and oh-so-smart. 💡🐈 Let’s celebrate by giving our feline friends MORE:

🌿 Exploration – safe adventures on a harness walk or a catio
🧩 Enrichment – puzzle feeders, boxes, and scent games
🎯 Training – yes, cats love learning too! Try “sit,” “high five,” or even leash skills
🎭 Playtime – feather wands, tunnels, and chase games keep those big cat instincts happy

Because when we know better, we do better—and our cats deserve it! 💕🐾

How are you celebrating your kitty today? Drop a pic below 👇 of your fabulous feline living their best life! 📸✨

✨ Trainers never stop learning ✨

Even Scoop (Dr. Andy’s own dog!) is working on some big feelings. To help support him, Andy and Scoop joined the Feisty Fido class through A Sound Beginning hosted at ADOPT Pet Shelter in Naperville.

The class was a lot of fun 🎉 and such a good reminder that no matter how much you already know or how long you’ve been doing this, there are always opportunities to learn, grow, and do better.

At Do Better Training, we live by our motto: “When we know better, we do better.” 💙🐾
