Professional Dog Trainer specializing in relationship-based balanced training for the Twin Ports.
"You can never trust a dog" is something I was told recently.
Maybe trusting your dog means understanding their natural behaviours.
Dogs act like dogs and can only act like dogs. Don't set unrealistic expectations, and hope they won't do what they've been bred to do.
You can build trust by acknowledging their genetics and breed specific traits and treating them as the wonderful dogs they are.

We will use primarily positive reinforcement to proof the following skills: sit, down, stay, touch, proper heeling on leash, come, leave it, focus, settle, how to politely greet people and how to politely greet other dogs in real world settings.

*REHOMED* ๐
๐ ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ! ๐ธ๐ฟ
Bramble is a 1 year old, female, spayed, Rat Terrier x Chihuahua mix (best guess). Sheโs been living with us for a few weeks now to work on training and socialization. Due to the progress sheโs made in a few short weeks, weโre now putting out feelers to find her the perfect home.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐โ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ?
If youโre an experienced dog owner, Bramble is an easy keeper. Nothing about her is overly hard to deal with and she doesnโt pose a risk to society. Bramble loves her people. If youโre looking for a portable lap-size dog that wants to do anything and everything with you, sheโs your girl! She loves walking, hiking and playing fetch or tug with her โbabyโ (alligator plush). Because sheโs young, Bramble thrives when sheโs given clear boundaries. This includes tethered place time, designated crate time and gates/fences so she isnโt given the run of the place. Sheโs a young Terrier mix, if you give her an inch, she will take a mile. I will request that the new owners keep up with these practices, as itโs immensely helped her learn how to self soothe and settle.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ด๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ?
I will ๐๐๐ be placing Bramble in a home where the owner expects to frequent dog parks or just laze around all day. Bramble is not the most biddable dog. She will not do something just because you ask for it, so if youโre looking for that kind of behaviorโ youโre better off picking a spaniel or herder. Bramble wants to know whatโs in it for her and then sheโll decide if she wants to partake. Bramble needs someone who will advocate for her space, just because sheโs cute and small does not mean she enjoys random strangers rushing up on her. Bramble is able to coexist just fine with other dogs, sheโs met and lived with my entire crew. However, I will not place her in a home where there is already another pushy female dog. Again, Bramble is a young Terrier mix, so she will push buttons, has prey drive and is not above taking cheap shots if she feels like she has a leg up.

๐๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ
โข Sleeps through the night, no accidents during the day. She will circle around and sit by the door if she has to go out.
๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐น ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ
โข Can be left alone for 6-8 hours, will also sleep through the night in a crate. Can use either a basic wire kennel or a plastic kennel.
๐ฆ๐ธ๐ถ๐น๐น๐:
Walks well on leash with a micro Herm Sprenger prong collar, tasty treats and a positive attitude. She does not care about basic leash pressure on a flat collar, she needs a tool that meets her where sheโs at. Sheโs unbothered by fireworks, loud sounds, thunder storms and most novel surfaces. Continued work on confidence building and exposure to new places would greatly benefit her. Sheโs been to the Park Point Art Fair, Canal Park, a few of my Group Classes, Home Depot and various breweries.
๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต & ๐ช๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ป๐ฒ๐๐:
Spayed. UTD on shots via paperwork she came with. Microchipped through PetLink. Registered in the city if Superior. She tolerates nail dremeling and teeth brushing. Bramble eats once a day in the morning and gets 1/4C of *Redpaw Poweredge 32K.
*She would do just fine on any of their other formulas or smaller bags, ie. Redpaw X-Series Perform, 4lb bag https://www.hollywoodfeed.com/p/101162/redpaw-dog-food-x-series-perform
๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ก๐, Brambleโs new owner would be a young 20 or 30-something who is eager to learn about dog behavior and wants a spunky adventure buddy to spend their free hours with.
If youโre interested in welcoming Bramble into your home (for FREE, no rehome fee required), please message my business page or contact me via details below. I will be picky in the placement of this sweet pup and should any problems arise I will take her back. She deserves it.

"My dog doesn't like car rides."
"My dog hates the vet."
"I can't cut my dog's nails."
"S(he) won't eat her food unless I add a little [human food] to it."
"My dog hates other dogs."
"S(he) will *be fine* once s(he) gets used to you."
"My dog is afraid of [thing/place/person/etc]."
"My dog hates the crate."
"My dog can't be left alone."
With precious few exceptions, all of these things are completely avoidable, so they never happen or can be fixed with appropriate effort.
The reason these behaviors appear is because owners never thought they needed to condition the dog to accept these things. At the very first sign of protest by the dog, the owner stops whatever they are doing and the dog registers that protest makes what the dog doesn't like, stop.
The next time the owner reenacts the same scenario, the dog doubles its effort, perhaps even quicker, and the owner stops again.
It doesn't matter what it is, what the dog's takeaway from each encounter, is when I fight, I win.
It could be as simple as holding a puppy, or putting equipment on the dog.
Owners make these things a struggle and heavily reinforce the dog every time they allow the dog to escape or avoid consequence for refusal or failure.
By the time the dog is a practiced adult, there will come a time where these things will need to be done, and either the owner, a veterinarian, some other caregiver, will be the recipient of a fair bit of fury when the dog exercises his memory of fast refusals at the first whiff of conflict, weighing in at adult weights, and having formed adult opinions.
It doesn't take much to prevent these things, but folks have their work cut out for them when they try to remediate these issues after they have been hardened by lack of conditioning.
Your dog is more than capable of learning how to be confined, restrained, groomed, approached safely by strangers, travel, etcetera.
What stands in the way of where you are now, and success, is knowing what to do, how to do it, and the effort necessary to get it all done.
We're here when you're ready.
โ๏ธ Mark your calendars, Summer Group Classes start next week! ๐๐

So many people get dogs on impulse. Craigslist, parking lot, shelter, or rescue. Their intentions may be good, but impulse buying a pet that will live up to 10+ years is not.
I have nothing against rescued dogs. Most of the dogs I work with are. However, many rescue dogs end up being rehomed several times. They are dumped, surrendered, and put down. Bad genetics, backyard breeding, and people not doing any research is the direct cause of this. I'm not saying you can't find an amazing family dog in the shelter. I run into them all the time. I am saying that research goes a long way when bringing home a new furry friend.
If more people researched pets before getting them, we wouldn't see every single shelter and rescue overflowing with dogs right now.
Put the time into researching a commitment. Just like you would (hopefully) any other big investment.

Dogs are dogs. They're not fur babies. They're not children. They're dogs.
That doesn't mean I don't love my dogs. It doesn't mean you can't call them your "kids" or "fur children." But for their sake, respect that they are dogs. Treat them well, but treat them as they should be.
People humanizing dogs is actually what's getting a lot of them put down, rehomed, dumped, and loaded with behavioral issues.
The best way to honor and love your dog is to respect the fact that they are different from us. That's part of what makes them so amazing!!
Bringing home a new dog and giving it whatever it wants, whenever it wants, is not setting them up for success. It may feel good to "spoil" them. I get it, but what you're actually doing is creating a brat.
I hear this often: "My dog bit our friend on the couch because he thinks the couch is his." OK, who let them think that? The dog didn't just waltz in and claim your couch. The dog wasn't given boundaries to begin with. I let my dogs on the couch, but if I tell them to get off and go to their bed, they will without hesitation. They've earned that privilege based on respect, trust, and understanding.
If you want to "spoil" your dog, do it by setting them up for success. Exercise them, give them boundaries, give them a job, and give them what they actually need instead of the latest squeaky toy. The time you spend playing with your dog means more than the toy itself.
Love your dog. Cherish your dog. Respect your dog, but for the love of the dog, TREAT THEM LIKE A DOG.
(And before anyone wants to say something silly...My dogs are my family. They literally signed my marriage certificate, but they also have boundaries. Just like any healthy family should!)

๐จ๐ฃ๐๐๐ง๐: There will be no Level 2 Group Class: Canine Good Citizen this Spring as there was not enough interest. If youโre looking to take the Level 2 Class with your dog, check back here late June, as that is when the next cycle of classes begins. If youโre eager to earn the CGC title and want it sooner than late June, I suggest reaching out for private lessons.
Per the AKC, there are no age limits for participating in the Canine Good Citizen program. Even though a dog may start CGC at any age, younger dogs and puppies are oftentimes developmentally more suited for the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Class.
โ Unlike the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Class, the CGC does not require a mandatory 6 week class to be completed prior to testing. This means that dogs can be tested at any time. โ
