Ducky holds a special place in my heart. A board and train is more than just a service; it's a collaboration in which Kristin, Ducky, and I work together towards a common goal.
Kristin absolutely adores her dog and is fully embracing her role as a dog mom. She wanted to work on improving communication with Ducky and is eager to learn how to make both herself and her furry friend happy.
During Ducky's program we talked six days a week, Kristin was an active participant in duckys learning asking tons of questions and driving up to walk her in our weekly pack walks.
Our relationship extends beyond the conclusion of our training retreat. Ducky returns to stay when her mom travels. Additionally, her mom has enrolled in our scent work workshop, which provides Ducky with another source of fulfillment.

I received a post today about a dog struggling to coexist with a toddler.
All I could think about was how much a virtual coaching session could immediately help that family. (PSST if you know that family, tag them in this post!)

Sometimes, you need an extra perspective for your pup (and pronto), and we have a lot of immediate availability.Virtual coaching can be highly effective for troubleshooting behavior issues within the home.

Marie Aymard and I are thrilled to announce a project we've been hard at work on!
Get ready for an even more inclusive Responsible Dog Owner workshop this January, as we introduce new elements to our curriculum. We're eager to welcome a diverse group of k9 guardians.
The goal of our event is to celebrate responsible ownership of ALL dogs and their owners.
The responsible advocacy for dogs (RAD) evaluation is a testament to a handler’s dedication to advocating for their dogs' mental and physical well-being.
The exam will consist of twelve certification items, each crucial to determining responsible dog ownership. Each item will be graded on a pass-or-fail basis.
Teams will receive a ribbon and certificate.
Teams can do all three evaluations; Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, or the RAD test or they can just select one.
To learn more about this and view the test items, please visit the link below

At our core, our strong connection to our families and unwavering support distinguishes us from other dog trainers.
We send topic-based coaching videos to our students with dogs in board and train six days a week!
We love chatting back and forth throughout the day. It's the best way for us to collaborate and work together in your dog's program!
Coaching the human is honestly my favorite part of the process. I've been working hard to find better ways to manage my time.
Sundays seem to offer more availability for not just our correspondence but also for in-person coaching which has resulted in me coaching seven days a week.
As a result, I will begin to take Mondays off rather than Sundays.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Pack walks: an incredible way to foster a sense of community!
Anyone has the power to start a pack walk! You don't need to be a trainer to experience the benefits of proper dog socialization.
Let's talk about it!
Walking in a group provides your dog with a sense of security and a boost in confidence. Many participants are drawn to the safety and the sense of community it offers.
Pack walks increase socialization: It's all about neutrality. Pack walks foster positive interactions with dogs and people.
Embark on pack walks to enhance your focus, ignore distractions, and build your confidence.
Joining pack walks has been incredibly beneficial. We'd love to hear about your positive experiences in the comments!
Interested in joining our pack walks? Feel free to reach out for further information about our vibrant monthly community walks and our exclusive weekly members' walks.

Socialization is a word that many dog trainers cringe when they hear...
Let's define "socialization." The lifelong process of an individual or group learning the expected norms and customs of a group or society through social interaction.
My interpretation of this is helping my dog learn how to live in my world by giving them information through day to day interactions and encouraging positive experiences for them. Having them interact with dogs they may never see again has no prominent impact on their well-being; it could, however, cause a negative outcome if I don't advocate in a bad situation.
Often, what dog owners think is best for their dog leads to a ton of anxiety and behavior issues. It can also eliminate a dogs trust in their caregiver if that guardian is continuously forcing awkward social greetings that are just not natural or wanted by the dog.
When people see my dogs they comment on how "social" they are. Neither dog has ever been in a dog park or partook in a doggie daycare. Rather, I have curated opportunities to build my relationship with them; they play with dogs within our immediate home, and dogs I feel this will create a positive impact on their development.
I know how quickly one bad interaction can change my dog's entire opinion of me, and sometimes you cannot recover from that
Choose your socialization wisely. it could affect the relationship you are working so hard to build

“The bond I've forged with my dogs through lifestyle training, focusing on their mental health, is a priceless gift. It's a trust so deep, they believe 'the net will appear' when I say 'let's jump'. No matter what, they know I will keep them safe.”
This unwavering trust made our evacuation a smooth process.
The reality of fires and evacuations in California isn't lost on us. We've always been diligent in practicing fire drills and creating contingency plans. Rest assured, the safety of your dogs, entrusted in our care, is never a gamble.
The moment I received the dreaded alert of a fire around noon, my heart pounded as I monitored the unfolding events. By 2 pm, the mandatory evacuation was issued. With determination and love for our dogs and the ones in our care, we managed to safely relocate every dog and our cat to our emergency meeting spot within 15 minutes. It's a reminder of the importance of having a place to gather in such situations to plan for long-term safety - a practice every family should embrace.
In the midst of their board and train program, Chandler and Canela were with me. Their families received timely updates, heartfelt assurances, and video glimpses of their beloved dogs' safe haven.
As Chandler's training program nears its end, his family generously offered to lighten my load by taking him back earlier. This is the third time I've had the opportunity to train a dog for them, and I'm truly grateful for our enduring relationship. I'm immensely grateful for the years of dedicated coaching I’ve provided to them so they can keep Chandler on track.
We are so grateful that our positive reviews as dog-friendly renters made securing an air b&b a breeze, ensuring every member of our group had a comfortable stay in the 100+ degree days.
I'm deeply grateful for your understanding when I had to reschedule our holiday plans with the three dogs I previously trained. It was a tough call, but necessary for everyone's well-being. With sincere gratitude, I didn't hesitate to refund everyone instantly, as is appropriate.
I am incredibly thankful for the chance to turn negatives into positives. The suburban location of the home was a blessing for Canela's training. Its dense population of dogs, cats, and people facilitated a perfect environment for addressing her reactivity. Regular check-ins and virtual coaching sessions with her owners remained an integral part of the process even on fourth of July we spoke and had coaching sessions. Our morning rituals of walking to the coffee shop and enjoying breakfast on patios were delightful. I am grateful for every moment spent.
As I sit in my office, I'm filled with gratitude for the trust these dogs place in me, like Canela, who's been with me just fifteen days. I'm dedicated to helping families experience this unique bond with their pets.
The life of self-employment can be unpredictable, as we recently experienced when we had to refund over $3900 in fees for dogs scheduled to be here for the next two weeks and cover the cost of the air b&b. This has prompted us to cancel some travel plans and open our books earlier than usual.
If you know of anyone who might need our training, we would be honored if you would recommend us.

This is your sign that it is time to start planning for the 4th of July!
1.) We crate early, and the dogs all go potty on a leash even when we haven't had to do it before. Sometimes, gunfire starts before it gets dark.
2.) our favorite CBD is King Kalm I have used it for about 5 years now with great success.
3.) "Alexa, play calm, my dog" if you know, you know!
4.) Lots of frozen enrichment to help decompress and redirect
5.) Blankets to lightly cover the crates to block out light and make the crate feel more homey
6.) Essential oils, particularly we use lavender
What are your go-to ways to keep your dogs calm during the holiday?

Teaching your dog to sit won't magically fix its inability to chill and relax, but it's a good start! Many of the emails I receive are heavily focused on obedience. I believe we are missing the point that teaching your dog basic obedience skills will not change how your dog lives within your home. What you should be looking for in classes and coaches is how to live a lifestyle with your dog. A good coach will show you how to better understand your dog's genetics and fulfilling those needs.

We've all been in an unhealthy relationship. The one-sided kind where you feel like you're showing up and the other person isn't. Dog "training" is no different when it comes to dysfunctional relationships. The only way to truly get success out of any training program is to recognize that you are also going to have to change for it to be successful. Listen, sending your dog away and spending a lot of money won't magically solve all your problems. It's not like sprinkling fairy dust. Individuals who observe the most significant transformations are those who demonstrate a willingness to invest the necessary effort, even dogs enrolled in a board and train program. If the program aligns with my approach, this presents an opportune moment to engage in comprehensive inquiries and implement adjustments in preparation for the canine's homecoming. Dogs have a genuine desire to perform well and will do so when provided with the appropriate opportunities. The key question is: what kind of opportunities are you providing your dog, and how are you collaborating with them to ensure their success?

An important reminder! As part of my routine, I reach out to my students who have enrolled in our board and train retreats, first thing in the morning, six days a week. I share with them virtual coaching videos and provide a summary of their current progress within the program. It's easy to keep looking at the goal post without reflecting on all the progress that has been made. Reflecting on the remarkable progress of your canine companion can trigger the release of the same neurochemicals associated with the practice of expressing gratitude. This is incredibly important in the training process. I want to hear about something small or big you and your dog accomplished this week in the comments Www.orovilledogtraining.com #dogtraining #dogtrainer #sacramentodogtrainer #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips
There is much more to fulfillment than merely exercising your dog excessively each day. Let's talk about it. . It's an incredibly unpopular thing that I don't use my dog paceer treadmill within my board and train program. The reality is most of my clients do not have access to a treadmill, nor are they paying me to put that dog on a treadmill.They are paying me to teach them.How to fulfill their dog in a way that makes sense for their lifestyle. I think people believe that if they physically exhaust their dog, that they have done their duty as a good dog owner, that is just not the case. A great deal of the dogs who come through my training program are exhausted with just ten minutes of leash work. There is a mental stimulation taking place as well as a connection with the handler. Granted that you're present and actually interacting with your dog during the leash work. I also feel like a game of tug or a generically fulfilling interaction like a flirt pole can be far more engaging in mentally stimulating than just throwing the ball over and over again. Where I do like some different food enrichment, it should not take the place Of an activity where you were actively involved.I'm almost starting to think that food puzzles are turning into a dog's version of scrolling a tablet. I'm all for resorting to these different things. If you're having an off day or you're sick or physically just can't get out and do things with your dog, I don't want to disregard that even myself has off days where I need to take a break. However, it shouldn't be your only way.Of trying to fulfill your dog. #dogtraining #sacramentodogtrainer #chicodogs #chicodogtraining Www.orovilledogtraining.com
Do we owe our dogs more than a backyard and kibble? We put a significant amount of responsibility on many of our dogs Service dogs, police dogs who detect explosives and narcotics, and fierce guardians are just a few examples of the responsibilities we entrust to dogs in our society. In our homes, what do they mean to us? They are our companions and our emotional support. They teach us how to love and when the time comes, how to bid them farewell with a heavy heart. We only get 12'ish years, if we are lucky. What do those years look like? We are failing them in so many ways and wasting the true fulfillment they can bring to our lives. Dogs are tired of trying to live in the human world. Dogs bark, dogs dig, and dogs chew, but yet we scold them at the slightest inconvenience that comes with dog behavior. Your dog wants you to get off your phone and engage with them during the walk. When was the last time you told your dog on the walk they were doing a good job? Engagement isn't throwing a ball. When was the last time you went outside and played with your dog? Genuinely played? I mean chase, hide and seek, tug! A game you're fully immersed in. Put the chuk it away and channel your inner child. Play with your dog! Give your dog the freedom of choice. I know I know a lot of times we say when we give dogs choices, they generally don't make the best ones.What I mean is give your dog the choice to opt out of things that are uncomfortable, for them! Be better at advocating for your dog and speaking up for them be the voice that they don't have. We need to do better as dog guardians. This relationship isn't one sided. If we want our dogs to be better... we also, need to do better #sacramentodogtrainer #dogtraining #chicodogtraining #chicodog #sacramentodogs #dogtrainer Www.orovilledogtraining.com
If I had been asked a few years ago whether I would ever suggest to a dog owner to consider not crating their dog when leaving the house, I would have found the idea amusing. Over the years of training dogs, I've realized training is not linear, black and white, or a math problem that has a single solution. The more I opened my mind to different concepts, the more families I was able to help better communicate with their dog. The collaboration and conversations I have with the owners of the dogs I train are a huge part of the treatment plan. Dog training can sometimes be complex and involve complex solutions that you have to be flexible enough to explore #sacramentodogtrainer #chicodogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtraining #chicodogs
The two most frequently cited reasons for not training dogs are: 1.) Lack of time 2.) Financial constraints Ironically, these are usually the same excuses people give for not taking care of themselves. Let's break down this training 'sesh. I rise early in the morning, perhaps earlier than necessary, but I do so to ensure that I have some personal time before the day's obligations begin. This also allows me to tend to the dogs and ensure their comfort and well-being in the morning. After I have my coffee and take care of everyone, I load up one of the dogs and head out for a run ($0) I start off every run, with approximately five-ten minutes of leash work. I then start my running routine. I run approximately 2-3 miles at least four times a week. I turn on my preferred podcast, allowing myself to connect with my dog and the environment around me. This is a special time for me, setting a positive tone for the entire day. I acknowledge that not everyone has the ability to run, and I myself did not always possess this capability. In the past, I just walked. At the end, I put my dog in a position either a downstay or a sits day, I stretch out and take a minute to practice gratitude. Dog training doesn't have to be inherently expensive, and you don't have to go to our long training sessions at the local pet store. You can sign up for an online training class or do virtual coaching. Find a lifestyle coach that can help teach you how to make good habits that fit YOUR goals (I happen to know one 😜) Dog training encompasses more than merely acquiring fundamental knowledge. It involves discovering methods to integrate training into your lifestyle, thereby enhancing the quality of your life. Acquiring a dog entails more than simply leaving it in the backyard. As you embark on a journey of self-fulfillment, you will inadvertently contribute to the fulfillment of your dog as well.

Our world is intricate and challenging to comprehend even for humans, and it is a world that we ourselves have constructed. During a group discussion yesterday, I presented the concept of penalizing an intention. I expressed my firm belief that it is highly unjust to penalize behavior that, in many cases, is the very reason why individuals acquire dogs. The primary purpose of dog ownership is to receive alerts regarding the presence of unwanted individuals. This discussion arose after someone knocked on my door, and the dog remained seated in her designated area but did not keep a down stayn A few individuals expressed the opinion that I should have instructed the dog to lie down before attending to the door. It was logical to me that she remained in her designated location while maintaining alertness and awareness of the situation. After all, her genetic response to the noise is valid. I didn't really care if she stayed in a down. Oftentimes, the conflicts we experience with our canine companions arise from our expectation that they should think logically like humans. However, we chose dogs not because they behave like humans, but because they are dogs and bring a unique and valuable quality to our lives. Ironically, we often find ourselves attempting to alter this very quality that we cherish in our dogs. Why are we so quick to change that? Imagine if we actually considered their perspective. They are in our world, trying to navigate it when we ourselves struggle to do so. It would be helpful to see things from their point of view..

Definition: Washout: In the service dog industry, a washout is a dog that is unable to become a service dog, either during training or within the first year of deployment. Some possible reasons why a dog may be removed from a program could include underlying medical conditions or behavioral challenges. However, poppys' primary struggle was focus. Service dogs need to focus on their handler and the task at hand, but some dogs are naturally drawn to other people This is the second canine companion I have been entrusted to train in order to enhance the quality of life for children on the autism spectrum. During our daily coaching, we discussed that she may not be able to meet the criteria that is set for the tasks in which she would be asked to do to help mitigate.And improve the quality of life of this family. It's important to be realistic, especially when selecting a dog for such an important task, a task that we are asking them to do, not one that they are asking us to do. Over the past three weeks, my primary focus has been building engagement with not just myself.But anybody who happens to be handling her leash and less focused on outside influences. Poppy is very highly motivated by verbal praise secondary to food. Over the past, week, and a half, she has made a dramatic change. The important thing going forward is to take the process slowly to not overwhelm her and to make sure she is not being overworked. Of course, just like with the previous dog, I will be there to provide any support that this family may need once she is integrated back into her home.

In the past, I dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to training my dog, Bane. This involved regular long-distance travel, including monthly trips of at least twelve hours and weekly commutes of 2.5 hours to Lodi and Oakland to work with professional trainers in my sport of choice, French Ring. Why did I choose those trainers? Because they were the best at their craft. Just because you have a trainer "near" doesn't mean you have to use them. I knew that the wrong trainer with Bane could RUIN our relationship because, at one point, it did when a trainer had me doing things I wasn't comfortable with. I would rather have one or two fantastic training sessions with a trainer I connect with than 10 with a trainer who doesn't leave me feeling good about it. A significant number of the teams that enroll in my training program undertake extensive journeys to work with me. This instills a profound sense of responsibility within me, as I recognize the dedication and commitment their owners have made to my program. Regrettably, the primary reason for their seeking my expertise is the unsatisfactory outcomes they have experienced from their local training endeavors. You need to like your trainer, but you can also like your trainer as a person. But not like them as a dog trainer.Make sure you differentiate between the two. Your dog training sessions should leave you excited and wanting more, not feeling unsupported and anxious.

I spend a lot more time talking to humans. That I initially thought I would as a dog trainer. I initially believed that my psychology education would not be particularly relevant to my future career. However, it has had a more significant impact on my teaching methods than any dog training class I have ever taken. The most significant factor in the dog's success is how we interact with humans as coaches. Oftentimes, when they finally reach out to a trainer, they feel hopeless ashamed and even a little bit scared. It is the responsibility of a dog trainer to provide motivation, empowerment, and attentive listening to the humans they train.

Hey, we all struggle with training our dogs sometimes, right? But I've got some tips to make it a bit easier for ya. 1.) Have a goal in mind! Having a well-structured plan can significantly enhance your focus and productivity, just like going to the gym with a clear objective. If you enter the gym with the intention of doing cardio that day, it becomes much easier to concentrate on that specific activity. Otherwise, you risk overwhelming yourself and your dog in the initial stage of this video. As you can see, I am holding two plates of different colors. At this moment, my sole focus with the dog is on color recognition. I have no other goals for him at this time. 2.) Make it a part of your day: It is quite simple to incorporate specific training objectives into your daily activities. For instance, if you are focusing on proper socialization and engagement, taking your dog to various pet-friendly locations can provide an excellent opportunity to achieve these goals. 3.) Make it fun!It is more likely that an individual will engage in an activity consistently if it is enjoyable. However, repeatedly practicing drills outdoors can often be tedious. Therefore, it is advisable to find ways to incorporate some excitement into the plan. AndIt is completely understandable to experience occasional unproductive days. However, it is important to ensure that these periods do not extend into prolonged stretches of time. If you find yourself in a training slump, it may be an opportune moment to seek out a local group or explore new learning opportunities.

I was a hypocrite 🙋♀️ Before you come at me, let me say this first. There are some dogs that resoure guard their food, people, space, or toys. In those cases, I tell the owners to limit the dog's freedom. But those cases are rare. Like so many dog trainers, I stress the importance of place work and how the dog should be there, I often stress that while my dogs are lying on the couch with me. I think placework is super important for dog owners, but I also feel like I'd be doing my owners a disservice if I didn't teach them how to live with their dogs in a realistic way. This six-month-old puppy will be living with young children on the autism spectrum. One of her primary tasks will be to provide comfort. If I do not teach her how to remain calm while on furniture when invited, she will not be able to perform her duties effectively. ,I understand that this case is special, but is it, though? Many of my students got dogs to share their lives with. I do have students who do not want their dogs on furniture, and we absolutely will train that to not happen, On the flip side, though, the majority of my students want to share their lives with their dogs, which science has proven lowers stress. Let's delve into the scientific underpinnings of the positive impact dogs have on our lives. Numerous studies have demonstrated that simply petting a dog can effectively reduce cortisol levels, while simultaneously elevating the production of oxytocin, a hormone associated with feelings of well-being. This physiological response can lead to significant improvements in mood and overall health. Indeed, I personally experienced an immediate sense of improved well-being while petting the dog in the video. It is a matter of debate among trainers whether it is appropriate to place such a significant responsibility on a dog. Nevertheless, there are numerous dogs that are willing to undertake this task. Therefore, it is reasonable to provide the dog with the necessary infor
My day didn't originally have "fix a flat tire" in the schedule, but knowing my Les Schwab is pet friendly, I turned this inconvenience into an opportunity. Dog training isn't just attending classes. It's finding teachable moments in daily life. Here are some tips for getting the most from an unexpected outing 1.) Treat it like a training opportunity: meaning have all the things you need to properly motivated and reward your dog. 2.) Have a plan: I talk often about having a "goal" for the dog in the video, it was simply to do nothing, but for other dogs, my goal could be leash work outside. 3.) Become respectful of the space. You won't ever see me posing dogs on merchandise or being a spectacle. I want to hear your stories on how you have turned an unexpected inconvenience into a training opportunity.

It can feel a little bit like blind faith. Sometimes, it feels like you just aren't accomplishing things as quickly as everybody else. I often have to remind my students that your journey is not going to look like somebody else's. I am currently training a puppy to lie down. She is having some difficulty understanding the concept and is not learning as quickly as other dogs I have trained. I understand that other trainers may become frustrated in this situation, but by trusting the process, she is gaining valuable knowledge. It is evident that she is actively thinking and attempting to solve the problem in order to obtain the reward from me. Remarkably, when I requested her to perform a down command, she promptly complied. Bam! She was simply processing at her own speed. Trust the process Www.orovilledogtraining.com #bernedoodle #reactivedog #goldendoodle #dogmom #canecorso #dogwalking #chocolatelabrador #looseleashwalking
Demonstrating empathy is an integral aspect of my daily mantra as a coach. Empathy is a crucial element in coaching, not only for humans but also for their canine companions. By fostering empathy, trust is established, and communication is enhanced, leading to a more effective coaching experience. Where dog trainers get it wrong is confusing sympathy for empathy. Sympathy is when you feel bad for somebody else. Empathy is the ability to show compassion, even though you can not relate to their circumstances firsthand. Separation anxiety is a prime example. As a trainer, it can be challenging to empathize with a dog owner experiencing severe separation anxiety if you haven't personally dealt with it. Unfortunately, I've observed trainers placing blame on the owner when research suggests that genetics play a significant role in separation anxiety, not necessarily giving your dog attention when you come home. An empathetic approach would be to understand how the dog guardian must be feeling, collaborating with them on a care plan that works for them and their dog. This is just one example... If no one has asked you today, I want to know how are you feeling? How do you think your dog is feeling?🐶 And how can I help you guys feel better.😊 Www.orovilledogtraining.com #dogtrainer #packwalk #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining
Rome wasn't built in a day... When I start working with a student, they often have a laundry list of things they wanna accomplish with their dog. They are excited, they are motivated, and they are ready to make some changes. The difficulty here is that by changing topics frequently before establishing a solid relationship and foundation, we risk causing frustration for both you and your dog. This six-month-old Bernedoodle is currently nine days into her training program. Over the past nine days, my primary objective has been to establish engagement and build her confidence rather than solely focusing on the "down" command. In fact, I haven't even taught a "down" yet. When you focus on the relationship between you and your dog, you'll find that trivial things that seem so important, such as sit and down, begin to happen organically. If you are embarking on a training journey with your canine companion, there are two primary areas of focus that should be prioritized. These areas should be centered around fostering a strong and positive relationship between you and your dog. What are your thoughts on this?
