The Bryi's Dog Training

The Bryi's Dog Training Science based dog training, utilizing games to help your dog make great choices in real life scenari I was the kid who gravitated to dogs.

I’m not sure I can remember a time when there wasn’t a dog or cat in my life, from feisty Jack Russell terriers to laid back German Shepherds and a host of the most fabulous Heinz 57s. It was a random Golden Retriever my family met on the beach who got me to take my first steps into the ocean, it was my wonderful beagle/Jack Russell cross, Jody, who showed me how well cats and dogs can live togeth

er and Lara my rescued lurcher who had to be mother to anything she met, including kittens. We just seemed to understand each other, it just seemed natural. Then one day we took in a stray border collie who was terrified of the world and five weeks later she had pups. One of the pups that we kept was shy but a few things happened that just made her fearful of the world. That’s when I became involved in agility and competition obedience: I knew I needed to give her the tools to function in the outside world. For the past eight years we have been on a huge journey to find what works for her and she has been a most patient and helpful teacher in this process. She’ll never be a dog that wants strangers to pet and cuddle her but she can go and play in a dog park and go to the vets without needing a sedative. Evy taught me how much of a journey helping a dog can be and how wonderful it is to be able to help your best friend. During this time I also became a qualified agility judge in the UK and took UK kennel club puppy foundation courses at my local dog club. Moving to Texas allowed me the opportunity to leave the corporate world and spend more time with my pets as well as completing a diploma in dog training. I believe passionately in positive reinforcement, letting a dog know what they can do is so much more enjoyable for both you and your dog than reprimanding them when they do something you don’t want them to. Having six dogs of various breeds and mixes has also given me a wonderful insight into how different dogs can be, that no one training method suits every dog and that you have to be willing to adapt to succeed. I’m forever thinking of new things to do with my dogs, whether it’s bringing in the mail, rolling themselves in a blanket, or putting their toys away; they all have different things they enjoy so I work with that to find new things for them to do. I realize that not all dogs are able to attend group classes for training — it can be too stressful or exciting for them to concentrate. That’s why I will come to your home and meet with you and your dog. We will set up a personal training program and can progress at a speed that’s right for you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs.

📸🐾 National Dog Photography Day is July 26! 🐾📸

If you're anything like us, your camera roll is probably 90% dog photos... and we're not judging. 😄

Over the years we've learned that the best dog photos aren't always the perfectly posed ones. Sometimes it's the head tilt when they hear their favorite word, the goofy grin after a walk, or that peaceful moment when they're curled up in their favorite spot.

One of our favorite photography tips is to help your dog feel comfortable before you ever pick up the camera. Dogs who are relaxed and enjoying themselves are much more likely to give you those natural expressions we all love. And don't be afraid to take lots of photos: sometimes the "accidental" shot ends up being the best one of all!

So in honor of National Dog Photography Day, we want to see YOUR favorite dog photo!

📷 Share your favorite picture of your dog in the comments below and tell us:
🐶 What's their name?
❤️ Why is this photo your favorite?

Whether it's a professional portrait, a hilarious blooper, or a candid moment that perfectly captures their personality, we want to celebrate the dogs who make our lives better every day.

We'll be featuring some of our favorites throughout the week!

Ready... set... share those pups! ⬇️

📸🐶 National Dog Photography Day is July 26!

If you've ever looked at your dog and thought, "I wish I could capture their personality better in photos," this is the perfect excuse to sharpen your skills.

As pet lovers, dog trainers, pet sitters, and photography enthusiasts, we know there's nothing quite like preserving those special moments with our dogs. Whether it's a goofy tongue-out expression, an action shot during a walk, or a beautiful portrait that captures their soul, great photos help us celebrate the dogs we love.

To help you take your dog photography to the next level, our friends at Village Books have some fantastic photography resources available through their online store. Two great places to start are:

📖 https://myvillagebooks.indielite.org/book/9780240812151
📖 https://myvillagebooks.indielite.org/book/9781967679065

And because National Dog Photography Day should be about celebrating your dog, we'd love to see your favorite photo!

📷 Share your best dog photo in the comments and tell us a little about your canine model. Bonus points if you tell us what makes them such a great photography subject (or why they make it nearly impossible!).

Who knows? We may even feature some of our favorites in a future post.

And remember Bryi's Pet Sitting clients get a discount!

Happy photographing!

Many dogs struggle with distractions: other dogs, wildlife, people or vehicles. So often we ask for a sit in an attempt to stop some type away unwanted behavior. However for many dogs having to sit still and watch those distractions get closer means their arousal levels keep rising and they are like a cork in a champagne bottle: just ready to pop. For many dogs diving them something to do that encourages engagement with something else and movement (targeting an object and moving to get the food rewards) can really help. Nell is demonstrating this brilliantly but always remember it’s important to teach the new behavior away from distractions so your dog can learn what’s is involved. You wouldn’t jump in the deep end of the swimming pool if you couldn’t swim and you can’t expect your dog to medically know what’s expected of them on a walk.

Sniffing is important for our dogs but if you’ve dogs that s***f at different speeds, what do you do? Lara has learned that if I stop and she feels tension in her leash she needs to stop. I don’t need her to come all the way back to me: what I do need is for her to take the tension of the leash. This allows us to have a much more relaxed walk and we all appreciate that.

🔥 July 15 is National Pet Fire Safety Day 🔥

Our pets are family, but they cannot make an emergency plan for themselves. That is why fire safety preparation should include every dog, cat, and other animal in the home.

Pets can also unintentionally create fire hazards. A wagging tail can knock over a candle, a curious paw can reach toward a hot pan, and an unattended pet may accidentally turn a stove k**b. A few simple precautions can make a life-saving difference.

Here are eight ways to help protect your pets and your home:

🐾 Extinguish open flames and never leave candles, fireplaces, or cooking surfaces unattended around pets.

🐾 Remove or cover stove k**bs when the stove is not in use.

🐾 Choose flameless candles for safer ambiance and emergency lighting.

🐾 Use metal or plastic water bowls outdoors. Glass bowls left on wooden decks may concentrate sunlight and create a fire hazard.

🐾 Keep collars, leashes, carriers, and other escape supplies near an exit.

🐾 When you are away, keep pets in an accessible main living area rather than a hard-to-reach part of the home.

🐾 Place an updated pet-alert window cling where first responders can see it. Include the number of pets in the home and a current phone number.

🐾 Create a family evacuation plan. Decide in advance who is responsible for each pet, then practice the plan with a fire drill.

Preparation matters during pet-sitting visits, too. Clear instructions about carriers, hiding places, leash locations, alarm systems, and emergency contacts help professional pet sitters respond quickly and safely.

Today is a good day to walk through your home and ask: Could I safely get every pet out during an emergency?

Share one fire-safety step you already use: or tag a pet parent who needs this reminder. ❤️
