Just a quick reminder. Not all dogs are dog-social and THAT IS OKAY!!! 😊❤

Nova has not always been a fan of other dogs, her adoptive parents got her from the shelter a few months ago. Picture 1 is from day 1 of our Socialization training last week. Nova was not happy Charlie was visiting and definitely didn't want him on her couch or near humans. The last picture is on day 4. Nova and Charlie CHOSE to lay together like this. Nova was there first, Charlie hopped up and she stayed next to him 🥰 all it takes is proper introductions, structure and eliminating fear-based behaviors by showing dogs that they can trust US to make sure they're safe. 🙏

Practicing "place" with not one but TWO anxious dogs is a workout for not only their bodies, but their minds too!

04/14/2021

Structured fun in the sun for these two!! Keeping them in control while they play is the best way to work their bodies and minds!

Y'all, meet my handsome new friend, Bodie! He is a sweet almost-2-year-old rescue who is learning some basic manners and off-leash skills 💙

Such a beautiful afternoon for a mid-day playdate (and of course, built-in training session) while Luna's parents are out celebrating their first wedding anniversary! 💕

Wilson graduated today!! He and his family were such a pleasure to work with. Wilson is now a fully-off-leash, electric-fence trained pup with excellent recall and a happy family 💕

Niko had a habit of LUNGING at cars and always pulling on the leash. He and his dad have been working SO hard. This is serious progress in sitting when cars go by and HEELING!!

07/15/2020

The first time I met this pup, he nearly took my hand off for a toy 😂 so much progress with my Mighty man 🥰

07/06/2020

Niko has mastered Stay, Place, and Come in the last 3 weeks! You can even hear his dad saying random words and messing around in the kitchen, allowing time for Niko to potentially move or become distracted, but he sits and stays until he hears "come." I'm so proud of this training team 🐕‍🦺🥰

06/22/2020

2 weeks of progress with this pup, I couldn't be more proud of Niko and his family working so hard on his training!

06/14/2020

Mr. Wilson started training this week. He is a handsome pup with selective listening skills 😂 We will be working on proper greeting, food reactivity, leash walking, and trusting his new owners. 😇🥰

This sweet girl was EXHAUSTED after her first training sesh with The Grateful Dog Pet Services. Hope learned 3 new commands today, including "wait." Follow Hope's progress over the next 6 weeks as she goes from stubborn, spunky pup to obedient, spunky pup 😉

06/05/2020

Six-week and eight-week sessions are booking quick for June and July. Message me asap to secure your pup's training slot!

The Grateful Dog is back in action and taking new clients!! We are taking safety precautions while conducting training sessions.

05/26/2020

Photo shoot with this little princess!! 😍😍😍

03/24/2020

My dear clients, friends and family,

It is with sadness that I have to postpone all training and photo shoots for the month of April. I will be contacting you all to reschedule.
If you are a CURRENT training client, we have the option to use Skype for training sessions!
If you are a prospective training client, please reach out to secure a training slot for the month of May.
If you need pet-sitting, I will be still taking on pet-sitting clients on a case-by-case basis at this time.
I hope you and your furbabies are staying safe and healthy. I am always here to answer questions and help as much as I can through this difficult time. Thank you all for understanding and supporting The Grateful Dog Pet Services. ✌❤

Harley, Max and Tessie weren't too sure of Charlie at first (barking, running, hiding) but after some time and reassurance, this is what we call PROGRESS 🙏

03/08/2020

What a beautiful day

03/08/2020

PROGRESS 🙏❤

😬These parents have tried everything to help their pups learn manners. On day one, Bruno and Buddy are:
⚠️Jumping
⛔nipping when taking treats
❌no respect for personal space of humans or each other
🤦‍♀️don't know "down"
😱scared of new people to the point of aggression
Stay tuned to see how Bruno and Buddy ⭐transform over the next 8 weeks from ⬇️THIS⬇️ into 😍well-behaved little minions❤

Meet my new friends Bruno and Buddy!! We are working on fear-based aggression & anxiety as well as basic commands. These two already made tremendous progress tonight 🥰

Ruby has a habit of pulling her owners while walking on leash, and let me tell you, this little pup is STRONG. This is after 15 minutes of her first time practicing heel!

02/15/2020

Willow is proving to her parents everyday that she can be the best sibling to her new little human brother or sister coming very soon❤

02/10/2020

So many distractions! Willow officially balances treats on her paws and leaves them for almost a full minute!

02/04/2020

Ruby has a silly habit of darting through doorways and not wanting to come back in. She also HAS to be wherever her momma is, especially the bedroom. Ruby has been working REALLY hard. Last night, she proved that she CAN be without her momma and not try to escape through open doors. 😊❤

It's not magic. It's saying the same command so many times you start to hate your own voice. It's walking back and forth so much in an hour that your smart watch thinks you are working out. It's giving in to their cute puppy dog looks and wagging tails. It's learning about your dog's needs, communication, and what works best for them. Is it hard? Yes, but it's WORTH IT. 🥰

01/26/2020

Ruby thinks when her parents open the fridge, she has to be by their feet just in case they drop anything 😂 she also loves to invade their space on the couch! While there is always time for snuggles, Ruby's learning that calm behavior in her own PLACE is just as rewarding ❤ so proud of this family and Ruby's progress already!

01/26/2020

Miss Ruby is starting to understand listening is fun because she gets yummy treats after 😇

01/25/2020

This is the first time we tried this with Willow and she NAILED IT!!! 3 treats, 2 paws and 1 very smart, patient puppy 🥰

01/24/2020

World, meet Ruby!!
She is a ~1.5 year old boxer-pit mix who needs a little help with being stubborn and listening to her parents 😊 follow ms Ruby over the next few weeks as she learns new skills!

01/21/2020

Socialization is so important! Let's teach your pup that they can love new furry friends ❤
