The Zensational Dog Welcome to Hopkinsville and Clarksville's only Relationship Based Dog Trainer & Puupy Specialist I Welcome! I can help!! So I have been exactly where you are.

I am here to help you and your dog regain balance and harmony.Is your dog the family pet you envisioned? Does your dog jump, bark at everything, counter surf, have separation anxiety, drag you on a walk? By establishing rules and structure through calm energy and leadership, we can change your dog's state of mind. I have worked with animals my entire life raising and rehabilitating everything

from household pets to wildlife and exotic animals. Then a little Jagdterrier, I later named, Steeler, found me. He would challenge everything I thought I knew about dogs, my confidence, my patience. This led me into the world of balanced dog training. I understand your frustration. And I'm here to tell you that by working together, we can change the stress and frustration around. I have been privileged to study under Curtis Craig of The Calm K9. He was able to help me and my Little Man. I continually read, study, attend seminars when possible to increase my knowledge of how to better help your relationship with your dog. So we will work together to reestablish the trust and mend the relationship between you and your dog. I offer.....

1) Private In-Home sessions where we work on proper household manners, proper walking on a leash, stop counter surfing, jumping just to name a few. starting at $800

2) Board & Train. This will take place at my facility. The focus is going beyond obedience and targeting how your dog's views the world. We address issues such as leash reactivity, improper walking, counter surfing, jumping on people among other things. We also work on recall, thresholds, lack of social skills, insecurity, excitability, teaching your dog to be calm. Training collar provided. Minimum 3 weeks starting at $2250. For fully off leash training add $170-$225 for remote collar, depending on size.

3) Puppy Superstar! Get your puppy started off on the right paw as early as 7 weeks. This progra. is an in depth program and will start with 2 in home sessions to get potty/crate training and door manners off on the right paw followed by a 4 week board and train to build a solid foundation for your pup to grow into a well mannered dog $2800

4) Consultation. I will come to your home and assess the issues you are having and go over the packages I offer that can help you. $75 within 40 miles. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] with any questions or for more information.. I look forward to helping your dog and your family.

Here's an older video of Jax during one of his boarding stays. As you can see, he really loves working.

But I also want to share this to show that when you understand your dogs likes and needs and incorporate that into your obedience training, you more often than not get more engagement and willingness from your dog to do what you're asking. They need to feel that what they're doing for you, when it's out of instinctual nature, benefits them.

Yes, there are many levels to this. One being the age of your dog and what they will cognitively/ physically be able to do. Another is learning your dog's personality, how they perceive things, how they process information and the time and repetition THEY need to actually maintain understanding.

Make training as fun as you possibly can. Be consistent.

2 days away!

Most likely they will start sooner & last into the weekend.

Have you been spending the last year preparing your dog? Or at the very least deciding a plan to keep your dog safe & secure?

Don't fall your dog by being ill prepared!

Say hello to Honey & Sugar!

These 2 are easily over stimulated & have some insecurity issues resulting in reactivity on their walks, when they see other dogs.

A you can see they are big girls and their mom would really like to enjoy their walks around the neighborhood.

We are establishing new rules and boundaries in the house & the back yard by giving mom new information and giving her, her power back!

Meet Max!

Max is around 5 months old & entering adolescence. That can be a rough phase as hormones kick in and your dog suddenly acts like you don't matter and everything he or she has learned to go out the window.

His family recently adopted Max and he spent time in a foster home with other dogs. His main issue is he's never learned that the human head is relevant and really any house manners. So we are going to turn that around for Max and his family.

There is also another dog in the home that's a little bit older and not to accepting yet of max. So we will also be working on some insecurity issues with her and teaching them how to respect each other and the humans in the house.

THIS!!
I'm frequently asked things like.... can you fix this for good or do you guarantee XYZ will never happen again?

The answer is..no! Dogs are living, thinking beings continuing to be exposed to circumstance

We must stop expecting more of animals than we do of ourselves and each other!

A long line is typically my first go to when adult/adolescent dogs or puppies come to me for training, whether it be in a Board & Train or Private training. Unsure dogs or dogs that our leery of people or strangers, it takes the pressure off of them of feeling like they must be beside the human. For those dogs that completely ignore that a human exists on the other end of the lead, it gives a buffer as they jet around. Long lines can be used in a variety of ways. 1) starting at a longer distance & moving closer over time for those more aloof or skittish dogs. 2) Giving the dog more distance from you.... over time.... a the dog becomes consistent in obedience. (Earning more freedom). Here's some of what I'm doing with Mula on the long line. #relationshipiseverything #puppytraining #progressnotperfection #goingbeyondobedience #hopkinsvilledogtrainer #clarksvilledogtraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer #puppy #clarksville #Hopkinsville #elkton

A little flirt pole action with Odin, who's been boarding the past few days! Flirt pole is an excellent game to play with dogs who have prey drive or like to chase things. The keys for me are to First have some level of a sick command and an out/ drop it command. You want to utilize obedience, which is draining their brain, with the reward coming from the focus on you not the toy. Secondly, it gives you a good opportunity to learn, if you don't know, how your dog likes to play. So you want to move the flirt toy in a way that engages your dog. Sometimes they get it and run around with it. Sometimes you can play tug, this is where it's key to have the out or drop it command already. And sometimes you instantly implement the out or drop it command and incorporate some obedience. This is a great game for fun with your dog, engagement, giving them an outlet for instinctual behaviors, increasing the level of obedience and also draining the brain not just raining them physically. An all encompassing game for many dogs! #progressnotperfection #goingbeyondobedience #relationshipiseverything #hopkinsvilledogtrainer #clarksvilledogtrainer #canine #pup #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining #dogtrainer #k9
