Everyone has their own skills that they’re good at as well as the ones we could use a little more work on. This goes for both us and our dogs!

However, this post is for you humans! I want to know what your dog training superpower is.

What’s the thing that you rock day in and day out with your dog?

Is your track record for using your marker word perfect?

Are you fantastic at meeting your dog, structured exercise and mental stimulation needs?

Are you a powerful predictor of behavior and ready to proactively ask what you want your dog to do?

Are you a management master who loves to use baby gates and leashes to help manage your dog’s environment so that they cannot practice behaviors you don’t want them to?

Tell me in the comments of this post and let’s celebrate the abundance of the stuff we knock out of the park every day with our dogs 💪

Class Spotlight:

Awesome Adolescence!

Adolescence is the time when dog guardians realize that they no longer have a little soft puppy who sleeps most of the day and instead a velociraptor who is hell bent on destroying everything in their path and will take no prisoners.

This class will give you the tools to sail through adolescence like the rock star that you are.

Each class will be customized to the current group and there is a private Facebook group that all class members are welcome to join for additional support.

The next session starts March 4th @ 5:15pm, meets 30 min a week for four weeks and only costs $100!

I adopted Milo from Pasadena Humane

I took my first dog training class at Pasadena Humane

I learned how to become a dog trainer at Pasadena Humane and worked there as a behavior and training technician.

I lived in Altadena/Pasadena for 10 years

The horrors that are happening there are breaking my heart. One neighborhood I used to live in is completely gone.

If you want to help any animals affected by the fires in Los Angeles, please consider donating to Pasadena Humane.
They care for both pets and wildlife.

I’ll post a link to donate in the comments of this post and please feel free to share 🫶

I have two spots left in the intermediate virtual class that starts this Sunday at 10 AM!!!

This 5 week class is the perfect next step for recent Basic graduates!

We will cover: go to your bed/spot/settle, leave it, and begin adding distance and distractions to your dog’s basic cues. The “heel” cue will also be introduced as well as extensive work on focus in distracting environments.

New year, new team of the month!
Here comes Lisa and Beanie!

Lisa has been a client of mine for many years with her dogs. Beanie is her most recent addition and the growth that I have seen in Lisa as a dog guardian over the years has really become a parent having her and Beanie in class.

So far, they have taken Puppy Academy, Basic, Enrichment Stations Express, Intro to Agility, and start Intermediate 1 with me this Saturday!

Lisa does an amazing job asking me just the right questions and being able to use my answers in a way that allows for modifications based on need and acceptance for living with a teenage retriever 😉

She is patient, kind, and prioritizes Beanie having fun; who doesn’t need that type of cheerleader in their lives?!?!?!

I’m excited to continue to watch this team evolve and thank you Lisa for allowing me to be a small part of your journey together 🫶

As a prize, this team has won $25 off their next session of classes with me. 🤓

I asked Lisa a few questions about her and Beanie and this is what she had to say…

DOG’S NAME/AGE/BREED:

Beanie Golden Retriever


WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR DOG?

Beanie is very curious and wants to learn about more things: new places to walk, packages that are left on the porch, people walking our neighborhood and the pesky squirrels in our backyard.


WHAT GOALS DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR DOG?
To continue to build a strong relationship with Beanie and tryout new skills.

WHAT IS THE SKILL THAT YOU LEARNED IN CLASS HAS BEEN MOST HELPFUL IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP/DAILY LIFE WITH YOUR DOG?

I think once of the best skills I have learned is to pay attention to body language with Beanie. It is enormously helpful in figuring out with Beanie what’s going on for him.

WHAT IS YOUR DOG'S FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOU?
I think Beanie likes that I try to make things fun with playing go find it in the backyard, finding fun places to sniff on walks and inside on rainy days.


WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITY TO DO WITH YOUR DOG?
I really like playing games with Beanie. It’s fun to see him figuring things out.


WHY DID YOU GET THIS PARTICULAR DOG?
I went 5 hours north to Aroostook County to meet his parents and their owner as we knew we wanted another golden retriever. When I held him I knew he was the one!

As we say goodbye to 2024, let’s take this opportunity to look back at all of the great things that we’ve done with our dogs the past year; the games that we’ve played, the things we learned learned together and about each other, the walks that we’ve taken, and the relationships that we’ve built.

We can also take this opportunity to set goals for the new year.
Maybe you want to work on a new trick, learn scentwork, walk your dog more, or learn new skills together. Maybe your goal is just to have more fun with your dog(s).

Now is the time, let’s make it happen!

Tell me what your new years goals with your dog are in the comments.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I started a new session of intermediate in person today with this fine group of people and dogs 😍 Are the dogs learning to count? Kinda. They are learning pattern games. What are pattern games? Pattern games are a simple and predictable way to train dogs that can help with anxiety, reactivity, and focus: Predictability Pattern games are the same no matter where they are played, which can help dogs feel secure and know what to expect. Engagement Pattern games help dogs focus on their owners instead of the environment, which can help with reactivity, fear, and nervousness. Impulse control Dogs need to wait for cues and focus to get treats, which can help with sudden reactions. Positive associations Pattern games can help dogs develop positive associations with situations that may have been negative. #MrDogTraining #MaineDogTraining #BrunswickMaine #PositiveReinforcementDogTraining #DogTrainingClasses #MaineDogs #NewEnglandDogs #InHomeDogTraining #DogTrainingOnDemand #VirtualDogTraining

MR. DOG TRAINING WALK YOUR DOG CHALLENGE, DAY 4: Enrichment and Mental Stimulation Another option to participate in the challenge is giving folks the option of an hour of active mental stimulation/enrichment activities to do with their dog instead of walking. This must be an activity that the human does with their dog, not just something that they give the dog to do on his own. Mental stimulation is a critical component in providing an outlet for dogs to focus their energy into in order to be pleasant beings that we share our lives with. Dogs who do not get enough mental stimulation will often bark more, destroy more, have more anxiety, and struggle with settling. Teaching your dogs tricks is a great example of an enrichment activity that would 100% count towards the mental stimulation requirement on the challenge. Check out my Tuesday evening’s class spinning away! Have you taken Tricks! yet? There are only a few spots left in the January session! What type of mental stimulation and enrichment do you like to do with your dogs? #mrdogtraining #mrdogtrainingwalkyourdogchallenge #mainedog #dogtricks #domorewithyourdog #dogsofinstagram #dogs #weimaraner #day4

Still space in the Tricks! class that starts this Tuesday at 6:30pm! Some of the tricks we will be doing are: 💥 Play Dead 💥 Roll Over 💥Crawl 💥Back Up 💥Shake 💥Circle 💥Wipe Your Nose 💥And So Many More! Class meets weekly for four weeks on Zoom and costs $125 for the session. You’ll get the weekly recording of the class as well. Have you taken the class before and want to brush up? I’m offering drop ins for $20 for any of the weeks, just let me know which week you want. Link to register in my Bio on insta and in the comments on FB.
