Help me find Neil a home or a foster! PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS POST 🙏.
Neil was found in October of 2024. I picked him up, his owner had been sent away for a long time and just let Neil out with no home. Family didn't take ownership. He was about 4 months old at the time. When I picked him up it was about 5 months after. So he's presumed to be right about a year, maybe a year and some change.
Neil is so sweet. He loves love. He's very smart. Easy to train. He's a very hard playing dog. He's a prey driven dog (as is true to his breed), so I wouldn't recommend cats or small dogs. I don't have kids so I don't know how he would be with small children, so to be on the safe side, no kids under about 14. He is very active but also loves to lay and relax.
He is heartworm positive which is being treated. Treatment is just monthly HW preventatives.
I WILL DO TRAINING FOR FREE.
Located in Statesboro, GA. You can contact me to set up a meet and greet. You would have to fill out an application through @fixingtheboro to adopt.

I want to say this loud and clear: I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR KINGS OWNER.
She came to me desperate for help and acknowledging that she had created the problem and that it is her responsibility to fix it. So she rolled up her sleeves and got to work 😤💜.
Upon first meeting King, he almost drug her across my lawn. Upon me picking him up to start his board and train, he flew out of her vehicle, launching himself in any direction. The word that comes to mind is CHAOS 😳. When I got King home, for the first 2 to 3 weeks, I could hear him breathe at night because he was so obese.
We are on the 5th week of training. These videos are from the 3rd and 4th week of his board and train when I was beginning ecollar work (hence the reinforcement of the commands). Just last week, I had a friend's horses 🐎 in my yard with King out and off leash with an ecollar, and he followed every command. He walks like a pro on leash in a heel, and he knows how to restrain himself inside.
We began sessions with his family last week, and they are as eager to learn how to work with King as I am to teach them. At one point, I think his owner maybe thought he was unteachable (she will see this, so I'm sure she'll confirm or deny that 😆).
I write this post, this long post that you've probably stopped reading (if you haven't, hit the like so I know you're here), not to brag, but to show you what a dog who was almost loved to death looks like. Putting your emotions aside and teaching and guiding your dog can literally save its life. ✨️THIS✨️ should be the goal of every pet trainer. This dog was headed down a path that only ended negatively.
Love your dog so much that you are willing to not give them everything YOU want to give them. Love your dog so much that YOU are willing to set boundaries and teach them how to learn. Love your dog so much that YOU put aside your selfish, self-fulfilling emotions.
Thank you for coming to my KerriTalk ✨️💜✨️

DOG TRAINING IS....not easy all of the time.
DOG TRAINING IS....not about your ego.
DOG TRAINING IS....a unique binding experience for you and your dog.
DOG TRAINING IS....humbling.
DOG TRAINING IS....something that forces you to look at yourself from a different perspective
DOG TRAINING IS....not a cookie cutter process.
DOG TRAINING IS....something that can and will save your dogs life one day.
DOG TRAINING IS....everyday, whether you realize it or not.
DOG TRAINING IS....not something you can force into a timeline.
DOG TRAINING IS....enriching for your dog and nourishing for your soul.
Today, this 8 month old German Shepherd went home after completing training with me. Working with Jazz was wonderful. He has so much potential and I can not wait to see how he evolves from this puppy to a big kid to an adult.

Teaching your dog how to switch from play time to listening time is very important if you have a dog that you want to take into other people's homes or in public ir anywhere besides your home and around anybody other than yourself.
Teaching a dog to work through being overstimulated can mean a world of difference in your life and the dogs life. Having the ability to command your dog through seeing a group of kids kicking a ball or seeing another dog or even another person they really like creates healthy communication between you and your dog and let's those around you feel safe knowing that you can control your dog!

It's been a while since I've posted. I've just been really busy! But this is a topic that has come up A TON in the last 2 weeks. Expecting certain things from your dog is normal. But expecting one dog to be just like another dog you had is completely unfair to the dog you are working with.
Some of us get tunnel vision and fail to see the great things about the dog in front of us because we are expecting the dog to be just like another one.
This doesn't only happen with owners, but also with trainers. Have you ever met a trainer who only works with certain breeds? Or are you a trainer that gets tunnel vision when you work with a lot of a certain breed so you start treating them all the same instead of recognizing their own unique personality traits? If you are, this is your call to do a little self reflection. Whether you're an owner of a pet, a handler, or a trainer, be sure to manage your expectations and recognize the dog you have for who they are. 💜

It is time for my yearly public service announcement.
Please don't look at my dogs or other trainers' dogs or TikTok influencer dogs and think that you are getting that when you go get a puppy. Unless you are putting in the dedicated time to train a dog to that level, you are getting a baby. A baby that needs to be potty trained, a baby that requires veterinary care, a baby that is going to destroy things you spent a lot of money on but to them, it just felt good on their teeth.
You are getting an attention seeking, broke best friend who doesn't speak your language and demands to be fed. PLEASE don't get one if you can't make the commitment they require.

I brought Neil in to the office a couple of days ago to see how he would react to being inside and he did not disappoint. He's officially a ham. A whole ham Sammie!
SOMEONE ADOPT THIS HAM SAMMICH 😭

I have shared Neil before but I'm going to keep sharing until I find his person! Neil is about 8 months old. He was abandoned by his owner, left outside from about 4 months old until about a month or more ago when I picked him up (thanks to a call from a saint of another dog lover). He didn't have a name, a home, or a future. He has a name and and his future is looking bright! Let's get him a home!

Welcome this adorable little monster to the program! His name is Dre! Don't let all that adorableness fool you. He IS still a Malinois 😈☠️.

Teaching Freya to find an exit. She's still learning but has really caught on to a couple of different tasks. She's so smart and so sweet. I'm so happy with the direction she is headed.
Yes, I forget to record sometimes, but the route I took through the store from when I gave the command is the route she took me. My priority is to train, not record. But I'm glad I was able to record some of it 😊💜.

Freya has done a great job being the best girl she can be. Every dog has their challenges and Freyas biggest challenge right now is being distracted. So I laid the ground work for her at home and out in the yard, then gradually moving her to higher intensity public spaces.
If you tell me your dog can sit, my immediate question is going to be "where and under what circumstances". If you want your dog to be proficient in public, then you have to start by teaching them that YOU are the focus and what the standard is. Then you transfer that expectation from the house to the sidewalk, from the sidewalk to a parking lot, from the parking lot to the vet waiting room 👩🏻⚕️, from the waiting room to outside dining restaurant 🍽, etc.
Not sure where to even start 😔? Contact me, and we can go over training packages. 😊

Please always remember 2 things when watching my or any other trainers videos. 1) The training session is always longer than the video. I sped up and cut out things to meet 90 seconds. (2) The dog(s) in the video typically have been IN training for a few days to a few weeks, and for my personal dogs, a few years. Don't compare YOUR training or where YOUR dog is at to anyone else. You're where you're supposed to be!
Tony, the black and white mixed breed, came to me with dog reactivity. Tony's story is long, with most of it unknown. He is from a shelter in NY and was generously saved by my client and fully paid for training to get Tony where he needs to be. This video was taken on the 6th week of Tony's 7-week program. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work. This is the first time doing this exercise to this extent. I typically start with one dog and recall and reward the dogs around each other. No reward and verbal correction and placing the dog back if they come when their name is not called. I introduce one dog at a time, always ensuring the dog in training isn't showing signs of high stress or on the verge of reactivity. Brought 4 other dogs into the picture and repeated the process each time, remaining consistent.
I made sure to have one of the dogs run into Tony's view to test his reactivity, and he did a great job remaining in place without correction. Most of his reactivity comes from not knowing what to expect. REACTIVITY DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN AGGRESSION. Tony has no idea how to play or engage properly with other dogs. Doing exercises like this allows him to learn boundaries and that he can be around other dogs in a static position.
