Timber is gorgeous, that’s it; that’s the caption.

Pancake is pretty scared of all things outdoors, especially cars. Ensuring he is comfortable with each step of the “getting outside” process is crucial. Before this, we did a build up to walking to the foyer and slowly opening the door. This week shown we worked on getting him onto the porch. *spoiler alert* the last lesson I had with him he went down the stairs! It is so important that we make sure Pancake is making these choices on his own, no force, no surpressed emotions.

Trooper was not amused that after his first session I had him sit for a photo. Trooper is learning some basics with a strong focus on impulse control, this boy does not know how big he is!

Half focus/half loose leash walking/half distraction, full Sully cuteness👌🏻

This week was my last session with Archie! And while he got me some ice cream for the road, training him was the real treat😍 If you do not know along with private lessons and the hustle and bustle of my own business, I lead the behavior team for a large animal society in Charleston, South Carolina. I got to see Archie in my kennels in the shelter to working through some behavioral issues and thriving in a new home. It’s moments like this where I try to take a step back and just smile😁

Loose leash walking with my main man Hershey🍫

Did someone say positive associations with the muzzle?! Wayne did absolutely fantastic yesterday with being introduced to the muzzle. When conditioned appropriately the muzzle can be a fantastic tool to use for dogs displaying reactive/aggressive behaviors towards other dogs or humans. Wayne and his parents took a big step last night toward his success with appropriate greetings with people👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It’s science👌🏻

Certified Dog Behavior Consultant! I’m on cloud nine!

Working on some loose leash walking skills with Hershey. Hershey is a high energy, easily distracted dog with no prior training. Slow, consistent steps with proper reinforcement has done nothing but make this dog and handler team stronger!

I couldn’t even begin to explain to y’all how proud I am of this trio. Archie on the right and Anabelle on the left have worked so hard each and every week trying to learn, listen, and grasp what their mama is trying to teach them. Her work is paying off and their relationship is flourishing because of it🥺 10/10 Recommend putting the time in for your dog👏🏻

You got to be kidding me with that face!

Archie is learning some basics to help with his confidence. He is also working on some crate counter conditioning. I have seen both Archie in the shelter and in his new home and mannnnnn am I proud of this guy. His family is awesome and he is crushing this thing we call “training”

Max had his first lesson yesterday and wow is this dog impressive! Adding some impulse control into his daily tasks is step 1 on Max’s training journey.

I think Charlie has got her “puppy eyes” down

Another day another walk with Jax crushing it!

Graduation day is a great time to smile ☺️

Boxer faces are perfect for holding tennis balls🎾

Reactive dog who? Tila has been crushing it with threshold work. Dogs are a pretty big trigger for Tila so we are working on changing that emotional state through desensitization and counter-conditioning. (And Gracie is a pretty cute helper if I do say so myself)

Ignore my last sentence that made no sense🤦🏻‍♀️ and pay attention to Jax crushing it on only his second lesson of loose leash walking!

Harvey has spent most of the past year in a wonderful, loving home. However, sometimes life does not always go as planned and his adoptive family had to retu...

We did it!

Go to bed and stay! Piper and Charlie killed it with some impulse control.

Just a video of Indie being the bestest silliest boy. The reinforcement is still continuous right now but my goodness look at that “leave it” and two cars passed by?! Crushing it.

Petco just took a major step in the best direction! Stop the shock people! This is huge, anyone who knows me and what my dog training stands for knows how much I can’t stand the use of these collars. Thank you Petco for understanding that training is something positive and shouldn’t be based out of fear. Training should build relationships, training should be fun, training is confidence. Next is prong collars🙌🏻. Thank you Petco, I hope many others follow.

Mosby crushes his first lesson. We have some work to do with his polite greetings and impulse control but look at this awesome go to bed and stay for a picture!

Stark really just represents my every mood

Some loose leash walking and leave it exercise with Ms. Chrissy James! Crushed it.

18/08/2020

Everyone meet Chrissy James. We are tackling some “puppy”behaviors with her but boy is she smart! Can’t wait to see her progress!

We love Sullivan! He worked hard today!

This little queen is Dahlia. A new client who is very shy and has to work on her confidence. Her dedicated mom is ready for this process and I can’t wait to see this sweet girls progress
