Luna is getting more confident each day and has a great first training day in public!

Pax struggled with leash and barrier frustration when he first came in for training. Given his size and reactivity, having him around other dogs in public was dangerous. We put in a lot of work, and had the help of another great local trainer to start him around controlled dogs in public. Last night, not only was he able to behave walking the perimeter of Barks N Brews, but he actively wanted to meet the other dogs!

Pax working on relaxing around distractions.One of the most important things that you can do with reactive/hyperactive dogs is help them learn how to slow down and relax. While we were doing this, someone came over to the community piano and started to play the most wonderful background music.

Getting the gear set up to record training footage at Buc-ee’s We parked by the dog potty area, so there were a lot of distractions for Daisy right behind where I had my cell phone set up.

We haven’t quite figured out the new editing software, but our training videos are about to get a lot better!

Kenny was a good sport watching us clean out some of our extra pet supplies today.

Pax had his first public training day, and we saw a bit more reactivity toward dogs. By the end of our session, Jax was in a far more relaxed state of mind and able to walk past another dog calmly. This big guy is a lot to work with but is making significant progress!

This is a good read on how our emotions affect our dogs.

Researchers made volunteers do public speaking and math on the spot, then showed them a calming video. Then, using sweat samples, glass jars and food bowls, they examined the emotional impact on dogs.

I trained Steve as a puppy and he is a great dog! Whoever adopts him will get lessons from me to maintain his training!

Lacey, Camper, Penny, Pax, Daisy, Kim, Jackson, and Bo all being adorable this morning.

Kenny and Louie only missed out because I didn’t have my phone on me at the time.

Ludwig and Daisy had a spa day at Petsuppliesplus.

Daisy was a little nervous, and Lud was his usual grumpy self. After their baths, the staff gave them treats and helped us work on getting Daisy more comfortable with strangers.

Charlie is officially available for adoption!

There are so many great things about Charlie that we had to speed up the video to keep it at a minute long.

Charlie is a one year old Pomapoo (Pomeranian x Poodle). He has completed basic obedience and off leash training, is UTD on shot and preventatives, house and crate trained.

Known commands:
Sit
Down
Come
Place
Heel (Let’s Go)
Off (get off of furniture)

Charlie is a very friendly boy who gets along with cats, dogs, children, and adults. He is happy going on adventures, going out to eat, shopping, or just hanging out on the couch and watching TV. We haven’t taken him out on the water yet, but will be testing that soon to see if he could be a good kayaking, boating, or floating the river dog.

So why is he available for adoption? Charlie started his early life with a mom who spoiled him, but due to life events, was no longer able to keep him. A wonderful family took him in, but noticed that the changes caused him to develop anxiety. As soon as they saw that he needed help they got him into training. Once he came home, they realized that, even with training, his needs exceeded what they could provide and immediately reached out to me to figure out the next steps to give Charlie his best life.

While Charlie is an amazing dog, he does need a bit of management to ensure that his anxiety stays in check, and he doesn’t become overly dependent on his person. All of this can be easily attained in the right home as long as the structure provides is continued until he has fully acclimated and matured. While this may sound like a lot of work, this structure can be easily applied to your everyday life. The two major components are having a person who will provide structure and see when he is getting anxious and follow through on calming commands such as Place or Down. Whoever adopts Charlie will get his Ecollar, prong collar, and lifetime support from me to make sure that you both are set up for success. His training tools are meant to be tools for training and not needed for life. He has all over the potential in the world.

If you are interested in adopting Charlie, please message me directly.

Kenny is a loving but spicy little guy who was adopted a few weeks ago. Once he became comfortable in his new home, Kenny started to show some concerning behaviors such as resource guarding, bullying the other dog in the household, and nipping at his new mom. Wanting to do what was best by him, Kenny’s family got him into training right away.

This is a clip of our first day of training, and after a little bit of sass, he is going great!

Please be on the look out for Bowers. He went missing a few days ago from the Perry Airport area.

Bowers is extremely friendly and it’s possible that he was stolen. I can see him happily walking off with some new “friends”.

If you see him, call him by name and he is does know “come”.

Contact me with any sightings or information. This gentle giant needs to be back home and out of the heat.

Please share!!!!

I’m glad that grooming is one of the areas we are helping Louie in because this boy sure loves to get dirty 🤣

This video is a great real life example of everyone being aware of their surroundings and how to handle a child and dog approaching each other. The parents saw us at about the same time I noticed them. I moved into Murphy, both creating space and putting myself in a position to body block whoever I needed to if that was necessary. As I was doing that, the parents calmly took control of their end.

While Murphy is a friendly dog and would have welcomed the attention from the little one, not all dogs are friendly and not all kids know how to interact with dogs. Creating space and keeping everyone safe is the best approach. Also, being allowed to take dogs into stores is a privilege. Making sure that your dog isn’t running up to strangers or causing a commotion is integral part of stores continuing to allow us this privilege.
