THIS is why I do what I do. From this video, you wouldn’t know that Stella (the border collie) started out with some pretty bad aggression. She was attacking her smaller and older housemate, biting her owners, reacting to other dogs, etc. she had even come after me because I went to give her housemate attention.
She’s come SUCH a long way and I’m so proud of her and her owners for all the work they’ve put in and seeing how far she’s come has been a big boost. It’s been an absolute privilege to work with such dedicated owners who have stuck it out and had faith in what I had for them.
Now, she is actually PLAYING! After completing the basic course at home with some reactivity work sprinkled in, she started coming out to our facility in Colerain (Daily Pet Lodge). We spent a couple visits introducing her to my own dog, Vega, who is a really great neutral dog and the other day we let them play while Stella was on a drag line (just in case). She had met two other brand new dogs just before this play time and worked around them on leash with no issues or reactions!
The bite wounds have healed and it’s been reported that things are going much better at home as well with her reactivity being at a very low minimum if there is any at all and she is doing a lot better with her housemate as well! ❤️ This video shows what can be done when a dog gets the work and training that they need to thrive!
"Look at this! Can you believe it? This is amazing!"
Judy adopted Swiss and called me the same day for help with walking. Swiss was pulling Judy around everywhere and she was really struggling to hold onto her. This is just one day after our first meeting! Swiss is doing great and Judy is enjoying walking with her ❤️

Leo board and train fun!
The rain doesn’t have to stop us from having fun! ❤️ Leo (7 month old Cavapoo) is enjoying his time here for his board and train! He’s doing great with commands already and has been having a blast playing with Vega, my personal dog.
Izzy has a strong prey drive and this has made walks a struggle to say the least! Squirrels, people and other dogs are so exciting! She used to lunge, pull, spin around and fight the leash to go wherever she wanted with seemingly no interest in treats or redirection. Now just 24 hours after our first session desensitizing her to the gentle leader and practicing how to handle her drive, she has made HUGE strides!
In the video, you’ll see her walk by a house with barking dogs and a large tree that normally houses a few squirrels. Before training with CCO, she would not have been able to do this without trying relentlessly to go visit. Great job Izzy and Jennifer! I’m excited to see what you can do with a week of practice! 🧡
