It’s pretty amazing to see photos from way back in the day and better understand why I am such a dog lover. It’s in the genes!
This is my nana, Patty, and one of her German Shepherds, Rebel. She bred and trained GSD’s and my other grandmother had Dobermans. 😆 Who would have thought that this would be my life now? I feel so blessed to be able to carry on their legacy. I hope they are proud!

Do we want our dogs to be excellent at everything from obedience and party tricks, to interactions with dogs and new people?
Yes, of course we do!
Do we want our dogs to have a sense of confidence, mental well-being, autonomy and the freedom to choose their own state of mind?
Yes, we absolutely do.
I have found that sometimes the value in a training session is to show the dog how they can choose a relaxed state of mind. We can do this by validating their early stress cues, and giving them time and space to regulate their emotional and physical state before they feel like they have to escalate into reactivity.
By observing when a dog would decide to opt out of a scenario and occasionally letting them do so, we honor their mental health.
We don’t oversaturate their relationship to us with stressful training exercises, which nurtures their bond with us. This says to them, “Hey, I’m looking out for you.”
Sometimes, it is necessary to push them out of their comfort zone when we need to change certain behaviors and help them overcome fears.
However, trust is the foundation for that kind of work. By choosing to hear our dogs out when they say, “No thanks, I think I just wanna chill,” we show them that we won’t always push them to their limits of what feels safe to them.
Is your dog reactive?
Message me and we can work together to learn your dog’s early stress cues, and what you can do to help build their confidence!
It was a beautiful day for a walk with Piper!
There are a few perks that come with having your dog walked by a dog trainer, such as:
•we know how to safely handle reactive dogs
•we encourage loose leash walking
•we can provide insight into your dog’s behavior
•walks build the relationship for future training sessions
We have a few spots available for week day walks, but they are filling up fast! Message us to see if your neighborhood qualifies for week day walks!

Cane corsos are fascinating dogs. The devotion and love they show to those they identify as family is unmatchable. As a guardian breed, it’s instinctual for them to be on the look out for threats, and to fearlessly act if a situation arises that leads them to believe they’ve encountered one.
I’m lucky to have developed a bond with Zeus. He has come a long way towards managing his guarding instinct, looking to his owners and myself for guidance, and learning that new doesn’t equal dangerous.
Socialization is so important to prepare dogs to respond safely in new and unexpected scenarios. If you want your dog to be calm out in the world, showing them what the world is like must be a part of the equation.
This is why I offer day training services. I’m here to coach you and your dog through any scenario!
Karl is an angel, you can just tell by that face. 🥹😇
Jumping through hoops to build this dude’s engagement with me. Must be a husky thing. 💆🏻♀️😂
Hope to see you there!

Reactivity can feel discouraging, anxiety inducing, and embarrassing. If your dog struggles with reactivity, PLEASE reach out. I can coach you through the tough moments and show you how to create good moments with your dog. You deserve to enjoy spending time with your dog! I’ve been walking Piper twice a week since April. Piper was a rescue, adopted as an adult. She went through a training program before I started working with her, but she still struggles with her fear when she sees other dogs. Piper has a lot of food allergies, so she can’t have treats. She is also too hyper vigilant outside of her house to accept any food or feel relaxed enough to play. The only rewarding interactions I can give her for good behavior are physical and verbal praise, and space to sniff and explore. My goal for Piper is that one day she will feel so safe away from the house that she can relax enough to stay engaged with me. Until then, I’ll keep helping her soothe and deescalate when she gets worked up. Even though I know she probably won’t care about the new toy I got, I bring it anyway for her to try—just in case one day she is able to let go of her fear and play. #adaptivedogtraining #itsmorethanawalk #reactivity
I taught Harley who is here for our board and train program to clean up her toys.. because why not 😆 #adaptivedogtraining #americanbully #boardandtrain
Before, during, and after clips of our training session aimed at managing and deescalating leash reactivity to other dogs with Mia and her owner Lisa! So proud of how much improvement we were able to achieve in this one session. Dog training isn’t always pretty or easy but it is necessary and SO rewarding. It means the world to me when I can help humans connect with their dog and help dogs understand their human! I’ve done my job when it’s all smiles, newfound confidence and a feeling of relief at the end of a training session. 😌 Great job Lisa and Mia!#adaptivedogtraining #leashreactivity #germanshepherd
