Never Fear Dog Training

Lucy is a black mouth cur pup just under one year. Like many adolescent dogs she has a hard time calming down. Lucy's people have been working with Never Fear Dog training to teach Lucy settling skills and different activities that can use all her energy in a productive way. Today we learned how to walk on a long line and play with tug toys at the park. Lucy worries about noises and gets overstimulated outdoors. A long line gives her more freedom and choice outside and makes her feel more confident. I cant wait to see this pup's progress!!

New year, new pups! Meet Mabel, a soft coated wheaton terrier puppy, one of my new clients in 2025! I haven't been posting much but I'm happy to say I'm still training dogs every week and loving it 😍 Mabel is 7 months old and is working on building her confidence and learning manners and basic obedience.

Mick and Rivera at their final session with Never Fear Dog Training! They have made a lot of progress over the past months getting braver and bolder. Yesterday we enjoyed a beautiful decompression walk in the woods :)

Today Mick and Rivera took a special field trip to the horse barn! Mick and Rivera can be a bit timid so we worked on building their confidence by exploring the fields and barns! We met horses, donkeys, a pig, people, and several off leash farm dogs. Way to be brave pups!

I met this little girl, Jolene, last week! 💖 Jolene has big feelings about people entering her house. We practiced small approximations of me coming in and out of the house with lots of cheese involved 🧀 By the end of the session I could leave the house and come back inside without upsetting Jolene. Her mom left a review: "Natalie came over tonight to help us with our extra barky Chihuahua, Jolene. I'm very impressed with how much we learned and how well our girl did in just our first 1 hour consultation. 10/10 highly recommend 👌🏻" Do you have a dog who barks at visitors? I would love to help!

Aww hi Oliver and Ginger! Oliver and Ginger are two young pups working with me and their humans on having a rocket recall! 🚀 These guys get to run at a big off leash dog park but they are not always reliable at coming back. Ginger especially is very invested in tracking and hunting so we are using tools from predation substitute training to meet her need to sniff and track while working with her to be more reliable. Keep it up pups!

Yikes.

Wow. Please don’t ever sign an agreement like this with a trainer or training company - or ANY service company for that matter.

If your trainer is censoring how you speak publicly about them and the quality and outcomes of their services, you shouldn't hire them.

Aww hi Ellie! Ellie is my new German Shepherd client 😍 she's working on emergence recall so her people can call her away from chasing behaviors when she goes off leash for exercise at the field nearby. Ellie is also an undersocialized pandemic pup and fearful of the vet so we are coming up with strategies to help her feel safe and grow her trusted inner circle.

Today Daisy worked on watching a stuffed dog walk passed by her house (fake dog movement courtesy of her person). Daisy gets really excited when she sees dogs on her leash or through the window, so much so that she barks and lunges at the dogs. We played Look At That and Up Down, two of my favorite training games for leash reactivity. Way to go Daisy Dog!! 🐶🐾🐕🐾

Not the best picture but at least I finally remembered to take a picture 😅 here is Reese pup who is learning to walk on a leash! Reese is a 6 month old German shepherd mix and he is a love! I am so excited to be working with a puppy -- my favorite 🐾 Reese's people are setting him up for success with his 5-session training package! We will cover recall, loose leash walking, focus and attention, and finding appropriate outlets for Reese's adolescent energy. We chose these goals based on his family's priorities. 🙌
