Who needs this for their dog?! (Or should I say, whose dog NEEDS this?!)
I am super excited to announce that I will be offering Pack Adventures one day a week for current and past clients with dogs that have trained with me.
How it works: I will pick your dog up at a pre-established pick-up location, adventure all day (paddle boarding, swimming, hiking, xc-skiing, biking, etc) and then bring them back to the pick-up spot where you will take home a tired, fulfilled pup. 🤗
If you would like to get your dog out of the house for some mental and physical fulfillment with a well balanced group of dogs under a professional trainer’s supervision and guidance, this is for you! Comment “Adventure” and I will DM you with more details for signing up 🫶

When I begin training with any dog, leash work is the foundation of communication that we start with. Leash work looks like this ⬆️ When a dog understands how to move with you and yield to pressure from the leash, it makes these moments so much easier to navigate.

Dogs LOVE movement! Don’t forget to move away from them while you teach recall. You will become much more interesting 👌

The answer to most of your dog problems is simpler than you think. Put the LEASH on! How do you stop your dog from counter surfing? Use their leash. How do you teach your dog to stop pulling on walks? The leash. How do you teach your dog to come when called? Leash. The list goes on! Using the leash is always step one in creating clear communication with your dog!
If your dog is deaf to your commands, has bad behaviors, or if you want to teach them a new trick, you need to use your leash to guide them through right and wrong decisions.
Start having your dog wear their leash around the house while you are home. Even better: tether them to yourself so that you can hold them accountable to everything you ask AND interrupt them when they do things you don’t like. After some consistency, your relationship with your dog will start to improve and both sides of the leash will be happier for it!

Set your puppy up for success on walks! This whole process is making Vixen more confident, neutral to other dogs (even crazy ones) and most importantly, it is elevating our relationship and I am becoming the most trustworthy and important thing to her. If you need help training your puppy, book a session through the link in my profile 🫶

Hot topic! I get asked this question a lot, especially with reactive dog owners: “what do I do if an off-leash dog comes up to me and my dog?”
Hopefully this helps!
In this video I am working with a dog named Golly that struggles with reactivity. As he sees the off-leash dog running up to us, you can see his body posture stiffen, tail raises, hackles raise, and he lets out some whines and growls of frustration as the dog gets close. All of this is a reaction wanting to happen, but with the right management, it can usually be avoided.
I bring Golly close to me as soon as we see the off-leash dog, and I basically attach him to my hip with very little wiggle room on the leash, this helps me keep control of him while I also discourage the other dog from coming into our space by using my body as a barrier and spinning the end of my leash quite abruptly. I keep very calm and neutral so that Golly can feel confident in my leadership. If I were to overreact or become anxious, it will transfer down the leash and make him more tense and likely to react.
This dog was off-leash in a “leash only” area. Unfortunately, that’s pretty common almost anywhere these days so it’s good to know how to set you and your dog up for success in these scenarios.
