When your trainer is kinda 🤪 but you roll with it because you know her crazy is part of the process....
Charlie boy is a year old cavapoochon with a lot of trauma. Sweet boy is extremely nervous, and startles with everything! Kellie has been helping him work through things as he learns to be confident, react or not react appropriately, all while learning basics! He is doing extremely well during his behavior modification Intensives and he's not even halfway through his customized program!
Way to go, bud!! We are so proud of you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

“Your dog is not a robot.” -Kellie 🙃
If you’ve heard Kellie say this (a Kellie classic), you know that she is very passionate about this. We do not train for robotic obedience, including service dogs! If you’re looking for robotic obedience, we are not the trainer for you. We would love to talk to you more about why we have chosen to train The FFDT Way.
Hear from Kellie:
“Even the most highly trained service dogs should not be trained into robotic obedience. Dogs are living beings that have the ability to think, feel, and choose for themselves. We want the dog to choose to serve and obey because they have been taught correctly and want to do what’s right. To train robotic obedience in your dog breaks the spirit of the animal. Combining canine behavioral science and techniques with canine psychology and emotion is key.”
(Excerpt from FFDT’s upcoming book “The FFDT Way”)
