Sharing more of what we do 🐾

Some wise words from Cooper:

🎾 don’t worry if it’s messy at first, keep practicing

🎾 never stop trying to catch snowflakes ❄️

🎾 train often, none of this one time a week stuff, we learn better with consistency!

🎾 take time to watch geese together

🎾 believe we’re trying our best, don’t get frustrated with us

🎾 be clear — tell us what you want, then show/help us

🎾 sometimes we need some physical or tactile cues/prompts to help, don’t worry - you can fade them out as we learn

🎾 always have fun!

Holiday dog thoughts 🐾 🎅🏼 🎄 🎁

Dogs need more meaningful interactions than giving them a new toy to shred and letting them hang out in the backyard.

Play alone won’t fix issues, but it can help build a skill set and communication system that’s applicable to various situations.

And really… sub out dog with kid, still holds true.

Quick thoughts on how my trainings changed over the last few years and the reason I’m getting the itch to do board and trains..

If you’re not truly playing with your dogs, you’re missing out on something big. 🎾💛

If you’re someone who has spent hours doing place training with your dog you understand the monotony and the patience it takes. As far as I’m concerned, every part of dog training (and life) takes patience, but it doesn’t all have to be boring. I recently heard a dog trainer say in order for d...

Had a great session with my 2nd favorite pack today. 😉

We focused on navigating multi dog play. What’s appropriate, when things go from good to not so good, how to handle these situations, what to look for, and how to communicate with all of them in a manner they understand and listen to.

They are the sweetest, most fun pups. And the owners are the kind I always hear about, the clients that turn into friends 💞

‼️ Heads up for local people with pets — Fireworks tonight (Derry Ag fair) and tomorrow night (Crabtree).

• Exercise your dog well - still have a few hours left to do so safely today, and get at it in the morning and afternoon tomorrow.

• Use physical and mental stimulation

• Make sure they have ID on them

• Make sure your dogs are inside before dark

• If they go outside at dark make sure they’re on a leash (fence or not) and a tight fitting collar or slip lead.

• Cover their crate or make a den area for them to feel safe in, and or play some music/background noise to muffle the sound

🎆 Hate to see anymore lost dogs 😣

Jake 🐾 is working on better behavior while still having a good time.

I want him to know we’re on the same team and he can trust me.

Think about the people you’ve learned best from in your life… You probably liked, trusted, and respected them.

Thats the goal with Jake. 🐾 Once we have this established the rest will fall into place rather easily.

Watch it twice. Parents if you have kids watch it more than twice. Never say never, every dog is capable of biting.

Humans dont tolerate rude behavior from other humans…

We’re fortunate most dogs tolerate it from us but most don’t even realize it, bc most don’t know how to read these signals the dogs give us.

A bite never comes out of no where. It comes after plenty of signs most just don’t know to look for, or see and dismiss thinking it’s cute/funny or their dog would never..

Proud of this review for so many reasons, so I had to share here. 🫶

People often want a fix for stopping certain behaviors — and I’m usually not the trainer for them. I find they want a faster approach that I care to take. So when they said they were about at their wits end I was a little skeptical if it would work…

I think the first words out of my mouth at our session were something like “Hear me out — it’s not going to look like much at first…”

I’m so glad they were open to something different. 🥰

Side note - I don’t believe in asking for reviews. So when I get them, I truly cherish them.

I’m so glad I was able to help 💛

I wil be closing my books to new clients until closer to summer. Current clients can still book their remaining session 🙂

Looking forward to some exciting changes to come. ☺️
