I'm a Dog Behaviorist and Trainer. I train you how to train your dog or puppy. Training since 1998. He was great with me and made a fantastic babysitter!
(36)

I grew up on a farm and was always an animal lover, especially dogs. My personal belief is the Japanese Akita my mom had when I was born played a role in my love and connection to dogs. He used to sit by my baby swing and run to get someone if it stopped. I started dog training and behavior in 1998. My first dog, Rocky, was a Shepherd/Collie mix and he is the reason I became a dog trainer. When h

e hit teenage hood I had to call in a professional trainer. During one of the training sessions the trainer asked if I had ever considered becoming a dog trainer. When I was a child I wanted to be a vet, but abandoned the idea when I thought about having to euthanize dogs. Dog training and behavior seemed like a natural fit. My training to become a trainer and behavior expert was via apprenticeship. To this day I am grateful that Rocky led me down this path. Dog training is not just a job for me, it is my passion. I take time with my clients and don’t rush them with an hourly fee. I truly believe once you start training with me, you are part of my dog training family. Your dogs become like my dogs and are treated that way. I work with the dog as a whole, meaning what a dog eats, its environment, physical, and mental needs all play a role in training. Plus, I am a practical trainer who takes into consideration your family’s schedule as well. Community involvement is another joy for me – whether it is teaching dog safety to children or working with organizations that help rescue dogs find permanent, loving homes. If I can educate people about dogs and further communication between dogs and humans, I am in my glory.

Sweet Finn has grown into such a handsome boy! I started puppy training him and his family as a young pup. He's 8 months now and just needed a training session because in his puppy teenager stage he had a new habit we had to reshape.

First picture was yesterday. Second was when I started training with him.

Finn and Reese LOVE to train! Their anxiety keeps improving! Every time I arrive Reese whines like she hasn't seen me in years lol. Sweet girl!

She was at Sims Lake Park practicing not walking her Mom, but instead walking with her Mom. We took a pause to get this cute picture! Do you have a dog that walks you? I can help.

She might look like a Goldendoodle, but she is actually part gazelle and drama queen 😂 She shakes her head an all when it's not going her way. She's fun and learning to NOT bark like a crazy dog at all the windows of the house. Plus walk like a lady.

Second training for Bently who's working through extremely bad anxiety. This is an approach to training that I use with certain anxious dogs. He fuels off the high excitement. It helps to raise his vibration so he can work through his anxiety.

This looks like a cute photo of a Shepherd mix. But what you don't see is the extreme anxiety this dog has. You don't see how he gives a ton of calming signals, canine communication signals that say how stressed he is. You don't see how badly sounds like the washing machine freak him out. You don't see how hard he had to work just to do a handful of tricks and dog training commands. He is a total sweetheart trapped in an anxiety prison. Luckily Bentley's family called me. I love my job as a dog behaviorist because I get to help dogs and their families like Bently and his family. Do you or someone you know also need help?

06/04/2024

I love when adopters of former Jail Dogs I worked with along with their handlers send me updates. This is Bohdi experiencing waves for the first time! He has the best parents and family! We fall in love with the dogs, but especially the ones that were at the jail a long time. Thank you Kelly Young for always giving me updates, it fills my heart with so much joy!

06/03/2024

What do you think Izzy was thinking about in this picture?

As a dog behaviorist I read the body language and the calming signals dogs use. Basically listen to the dog. It's as easy as breathing for me. I don't know why that is. Yes of course I have over 26 years experience, but it's always come naturally to me. It's like when I was introduced to it all those years ago, I was home. I just got it. I am grateful every day for this gift and passion. For the ability to help dogs communicate with their humans and help their humans communicate, understand, and meet the mental and physical needs of their fur kids.

Gigi at her first training session working on the brain work part. Brain work is the key to behavior problems.

05/23/2024

Sweet Gigi started training the other day. When I say her entire being lit up as we trained, it could have lit a town. With each thing she was praised for she glowed more. Poodles are brilliant dogs and she loved having her brain worked! We were getting a kick out of how excited she was! I adore her!

I love working on trust with puppies and dogs! Does your dog need help with confidence?

Took a drive with Mom and Apollo last night to look for deer. One of the things I love when coming home to Michigan is all the wildlife around Mom's. I grew up on an 80 acre farm. As I was driving yesterday I was thinking how great it is that there is still so much farmland here where I grew up. Especially because where I live in Georgia is being built up more and more.

05/11/2024

Apollo is my Mom's 170 pound Akita. Him and I went for Ice-cream the other night and a ride to look for deer. When we got back he was looking to see if his Doberman friend next door was going to come out to play. He did! But it was too dark to get a picture.

Let's take a selfie Izzy. I know you guys love these dog selfies! 😃

Too hot to walk your dog? Remember this test. GOOD RULE IS TO TEST WHEN AIR TEMP IS 70° AND ABOVE!!

Also don't forget decks, patios, driveways, sand, asphalt, sidewalks, can all get much hotter than you realize. Dogs can burn their pads. It's extremely painful. Keep your dogs and puppies safe.

Check out my friend Diamond’s Natural Store She got one of my favorite holders in her store. They help to keep dogs and puppies safer because the part you worry could cause them problems is stuck in the holder. Plus she has 10% off right now https://diamondsnaturalstore.com/

Complex snuffle mat for two of my client's dogs. I typically am not a fan of snufhle mats because I don't feel they are complex enough for the dogs. I do like this one my client and I found online. It's more complex so the dogs have to think and solve how to get the treats and toys out. #doggame #snufflemats #dogfun #dogtraining #dogbehaviortraining #cavapoo
