Sit with your dog through their anxiety! Don't say anything, don't try to fix it, just sit with them through it! Once the anxiety subsides, THEN work on getting their focus. From there, you can begin practicing going on a walk, but don't expect to go far! Save both you and your dog the stress of an unruly walk and simply focus on getting outside and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air together! #dogtrainer #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining #obedience #obediencetraining #positivereinforcement #positivedogtraining #dogsofinstagram #puppytraining #puppylove #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #dogstagram #doglover #dogtraining101 #dogoftheday #doglovers #puppylove #dogmom #goldendoodle #doodles #doodlelovers

And just like that, our training session is over and Turner doesn't want me to leave 💔 I love my job. More than anyone could ever know!

Training tip Tuesday: once you get outside with your dog, you need to up the "yumminess" factor of the treats you are using! I recommend just using kibble indoors or basic training treats. There are less distractions inside your home and less anxiety. Step outside and it's a whooooole new ball game. New smells, new sounds, new people, new dogs. To regain that focus, you should plan to keep yummier treats on you, at least while you are trying to desensitize your pup to their surroundings! This is a slow process and requires patience and consistency! Let me show you how to work with your dog to build an irreplaceable bond that will have them listening to your every command, no matter what atmosphere you're in. ❤️

So many people ask me how to get their dog to walk well on a leash. It takes time, patience and consistency but before you know it, your dog will be ignoring all the other people, dogs, birds, squirrels, cars, sounds and any other distraction you may come across! That's because YOU will be better than everything else 🙏❤️

Just out here living our best life ☀️ Imagine your dog was so focused on you, they weren't distracted by other people, other dogs, other sounds... that's a dream come true. 🙏 Let me help you get to that point!

This has been one of my most rewarding training "clients" to date. 🙏 Seeing the progression is just so much freaking fun! Trust the process. Any dog can be a GREAT dog. ❤️

The best feeling is getting to a point where you can tell your pup to "stay" and walk around your house before giving them the "okay" to pop up! 🙏❤️

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?? Turner is 5.5 years old and before our first lesson he only knew how to "sit". By the end of the hour he was sitting, laying, staying and waiting until being told to "come". 🙏

Walking side by side with my little bud ❤️

Just out here practicing some tricks!

Heeling is one of my favorite "tricks". There is no better feeling when you walk side by side with your furbaby 🥰❤️
