Charlotte's Behavior Corner

🐾 Meet the Team Behind Charlotte’s Corner 🐾

When it comes to working with animals, especially dogs - there are many knowledgeable people in veterinary care, animal welfare, interventions, and training. But if I’ve learned anything in my years of working in special education, it’s that sometimes peer models or “peer teachers” can help animals (and children) learn quicker. Skills are often easier to pick up when they’re shown by someone relatable.

That’s why Charlotte’s Corner isn’t just me, it’s also guided by the dogs who’ve been my best teachers.

✨ Charlotte is the heart of it all. Charlotte’s Corner Behavior Consulting is named for her, because her steady, calm, and nurturing personality has been a source of guidance for countless fosters and shelter dogs over her lifetime.

✨ Levi, even in his young age, has become a rock-solid model for play, manners, and confidence.

✨ Layla, now a permanent member of our crew, brings her own lessons of resilience and quiet leadership to the mix.

In the past, I’ve always used my dogs as primary teachers when working on socialization and behavioral intervention goals. One of my all-time favorites was Mikey.... and if you’ve been around long enough, you’ll remember all 110 pounds of him, usually sporting a tie. 🐶💼 There was no other dog like him and he is a story in itself for another time. 💗

Dog-to-dog evaluations, shaping play styles & intensity, modeling safe behaviors, and assisting with human interactions are just some of the “jobs” my team dogs take on. With a strong rapport and relationship, they show me - and the dogs we work with - exactly where a dog is at and what they’re ready for.

💡 Charlotte’s Corner Behavior Consulting isn’t just me training your dog. It’s a team effort. So if you see Charlotte, Levi, or Layla alongside me in a private session or group class, know they’re here to guide, model, and cheer your dog on too. 🐾💕

Our newest foster is amazing!

Sometimes the best thing we can do for our dogs is listen when they’re telling us they’re not at 100%. Our sweet Layla lives with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) — chronic conditions that affect how her body digests food and how comfortable she feels on a daily basis. These illnesses can cause tummy upset, changes in appetite, and general discomfort that impact not only her health but also her behavior and energy.

This event happens to fall on one of her injection weekends, which are extra taxing on her body. Over the past week, she’s shown me in little ways that she’s going to need more care and quiet. Because her health always comes first, I'm adjusting this weekend’s Mini Paws Event to keep things calm and stress-free for her and the rest of our pack.

✨ Here’s the plan:

Sept 13–14 (Sat & Sun): By Appointment Only — limited, quieter sessions so we can still connect with you without overwhelming our senior girl.

Sept 27–28 (Sat & Sun): A second round of Mini Paws! This will give everyone another opportunity to come out and support the rescue in a way that feels good for the dogs, too.

I also want to use this as a gentle reminder: dog health and behavior go hand in hand. Pain, discomfort, or GI issues can affect how a dog eats, plays, interacts, or even how much patience they have in stressful moments. Listening to those signals is just as important as training.

Thank you for being flexible and understanding and for always loving our dogs right alongside us. 💕

🐾✨ Shoutout time! ✨🐾

My friend Sarah has started a new side hustle offering dog poo clean-up services and let’s be real, EVERY dog owner could use help with this chore. 😉

She’s serving the St. Paul, Grand Island, Dannebrog, and Cairo areas, so if you’re tired of scooping the yard or just want one less thing on your to-do list, give her a call and support a local small business! 💓

I might have said I was going to take a tiny break from taking new fosters, but ......how could you not want to bring home a sweet guy like this?!

Meet Atlas, this handsome guy is both blind & deaf -They don’t block his ability to learn, they just shape the way he gets there.

So far, he's show that he's the easiest going - happy go lucky guy you'll meet!

A dog’s worth is never measured by their disability, but by the fullness of their life and spirit. 💕🐾

💗 Gratitude Post 💗

I just want to take a moment to say thank you to the rescues, colleagues and friends - who have shared, recommended, and encouraged me as I step into this next chapter and returning to Charlotte's Corner.🐾 Your support means more than I can put into words, and it’s a reminder of why I do what I do.

Every dog, every family, every tough case, they all matter. And knowing there’s a community behind this decision, makes it even more meaningful. 💕

If you’re looking for help with training, behavior, or building a stronger bond with your dog, I’m here to support you. 💓 Whether it’s basic manners, confidence building, or behavior consulting, my goal is to meet you and your dog where you are.

Special thanks to The Good Life Rescue , Dog Stars , Major League Kennels , and The Pet Pad for the recent love and support - you’re helping make this work possible. 💫

Here’s to lifting each other up and creating a community where both people and dogs can thrive. 🐕✨

✨ Not every dog is ready for a group class and that’s okay. 💕

That’s why I also offer private behavior consulting & training sessions. Available in-person (limited travel) or virtually if you’re farther away.

Every dog deserves a chance to succeed, but real progress starts with understanding. 🐾 That’s why an initial consult is always required before training. Together, we’ll uncover the 'why' behind your dog’s behavior and build a personalized plan for lasting change.

Whether it’s mild manners, reactivity, fear, or more complex behaviors, I’ll meet you where you and your dog are - and help you move forward with confidence.

📩 Message me to schedule! Let’s start building calmer, more confident dogs and happier homes!
