When we say training for the real world, we mean it! Our group classes are done outdoors and in public settings, which gives us the opportunity to work around all sorts of distractions. This past weekend, one of those distractions included an off leash dog with a poor recall. Watch to see us work one of our dogs through the situation, in real time! If your dog is struggling with reactivity, know that life doesn’t have to be that way. Contact us today to get started in our group classes!#lightbulbdogtraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer #reactivedog #reactivedogsunite #traindontrestrain #womendogtrainers #womenownedbusiness #runyourdognotyourmouth #galveston #texascity #galvestonisland #galvestoncounty #texas #adopt
Some of you couldn’t believe our last post of how many skills Ruby already knows! Here’s a shot of her today, at 3 months and 4 days old, utilizing play for knowledge.
In this clip, Ruby is showing her skills of:
💡Name recognition
💡Introductory recall
💡Fetch
💡Retrieval
💡Sit
💡Wait
💡Drop it
If you’re getting a puppy, training starts the moment puppy comes home. We can help you set your puppy up from day 1 - our Puppy Success program will be launching within the month!

Astra - High Distraction Down Stay
Look at Astra rocking her down stay! This is a great exercise for her to practice. We are working on her ignoring the external stressors, instead of being hyper focused on them, and staying focused on her handler.
Good work Astra!

Heidi
Heidi the Labrador Retriever working on her social skills! This hyped up girl is staying with us to work on her overall behavior, socialization with dogs, and desensitization to cats. #lightbulbdogtraining
Remy - progress!
We have had Remy the 6 month old American Bully pup for a little over a week now and she is doing so well! 🤓💚💡
One of Remy’s biggest issues prior to training was that whenever she left the house on leash, she would put on the brakes and refuse to move. In Remy’s mind, she was thinking “if I just lay here and play possum the stressful things will go away”. We’ve been working with Remy to positively handle her stressors AND good girl manners - we are so proud of her!

Look at Penny and April rocking the recall game! This exercise has multiple benefits: practicing obedience and impulse control, building a foundation for recall, and most importantly strengthening the bond between dog & handler! #lightbulbdogtraining
Lyle socializing!
Lyle is making great progress on learning how to properly socialize and play with other dogs. #lightbulbdogtraining
Lyle - Day 1
Let’s talk muzzles! Muzzles are just another tool in our kit. Here, you can see the first session of introducing the muzzle to newcomer Lyle. He has some socialization deficits, and for everyone’s safety, will be on a muzzle while with other dogs at this point. So, we are teaching Lyle that the muzzle is a good thing. 🐾💡 #lightbulbdogtraining
