FURocious to FURiendly: Certified Dog Trainer Kelcey Van Horn - ABCDT
Certified Dog Trainer The first thing you should know about me is that I'm married to a wonderful man who made this business possible!

I owe it all to him! I also love animals and people! I love to watch people with their dogs as they see what works and see their dog responding positively! I am a huge Marvel nerd as well as Back to the Future.

We have a special guest on our blog post whom I am honored to say gave me permission to use his story to show that dogs may not be easy but they are always rewarding. I would argue that the more challenging the dog, the more rewarding it is to be in their life. They can teach us so much and we can bond with them when we find how much we have in common with them. It is my privilege to introduce Joe Bongiorno, a successful Star Wars author and journalist but that's not even the cool part. The cool part is his story of how he made time for his dog, even with how busy he is. If he can have a demanding job AND show patience and understanding with his dog, maybe the rest of us can, too. It's scary to take in a dog who is overprotective because you don't know if they are going to "protect" you from a child or the wrong person or dog. People with anxiety will struggle more with letting them meet people or may not be able to handle the barking. If we understand that we are both anxious and cope differently. (Dogs bark and people avoid. We also have our own version of barking.) So, let me stop and let you read from a successful writer.

Hubby, Luke and I were on a dashing date and we were on a our way back from Toledo and we called out to these geese and horses and they started looking at us and coming closer. We respect the property of others so we didn't try to pet them but they wanted us to pet them, for sure! We also saw a falcon and 9 hawks saying hi to us as well! We blare our music and the animals come out to play!

Proof that patience and consistency can breed results, even if it takes over a year, like it has for us, and no matter how long it takes, there will always be a need for training, even when they are fluent. We set Fatboi up for success time after time after time and as a result, this was the first time that we had an internet provider in our home and Fatboi did not bark at him from the bedroom! Previous times, he would be right at the door barking and I could not get his attention. This time we:

1) Walked him first to make him less anxious
2) trained him in the bedroom with treats and paw-sitive reinforcement
3) laid on the bed because dogs typically want to be with us and I want him away from the door since he is less likely to bark when he is farther away from the door
4) every time he lost interest in me and went to the door, I used kissy noises and snapped my fingers, saying his name and calling him to the bed. If that didn't work, I would use treats or a toy and try to hide his bone and have him sniff for it or play fetch or another favorite game. The trick is keeping him occupied and distracted.

I hope that helps! Until next time, be FUR to drink your Ovaltine!

Fatboi is worn out from a RUFF day. He wants to go to bed but he needs to take his vitamins FURST. You can TAIL me to stop but I will never stop telling dog puns and asking to pet your dog. 😆 (Unless they are a service dog, of course 😅) Speaking of vitamins, did you know that there are crucial supplements in most dog foods that are lacking? Just like most foods that we eat are lacking crucial supplements. Just like it is recommended for people to take vitamins, it's also highly recommended for dogs. These vitamins below are the ones we use every night and Fatboi LOVES them if we have him for a walk right afterward. If walks aren't your dog's thing, give them the tolerated vitamin first and then their favorite treat otherwise they will grow tired of the vitamin. This photo below shows the details of all it helps with. 😀 Have a FURiendly day!
