Happy Saturday!

Remember what we tell you when you become frustrated your reactive dog or nervous dog can’t perfectly heel or perform other routine obedience.

“You need to make the brain right before diving into heavy obedience”

We have people get frustrated with the training process. People wanting to give up. People want their dog who can’t function in a low stimulus environment to perfectly heel down a street. That isn’t going to happen right off.

Give your dog the time it needs to be the best version of themselves.

This is a huge issue I see over and over. So many dogs come to us after having gone through extensive and expensive training programs elsewhere.

The typical scenario: the owner brings the dog in for training because they’re dealing with ongoing behavior issues that are making their lives with their dogs miserable. The trainer explains that they deal with “this stuff all the time”, and has many videos of dogs looking happy and reliable — doing obedience exercises — and the owner, not knowing any better, assumes that because the trainer is able to train certain dogs to look happy/good/reliable doing obedience work, that it will resolve their dog’s behavior issues.

But obedience and behavior modification are not the same. One teaches and proofs a series of desired obedience behaviors, and may, if you’re lucky, even address some nuisance behaviors like jumping, barking, mouthing etc. The other, if the trainer is truly skilled with behavior modification, is able to successfully address truly serious issues — issues like severe on-leash reactivity, human aggression, dogs fighting within the home, severe resource guarding, hyper-territorial behavior, severe fear issues, and severe separation anxiety issues. And they will also train obedience work as well — that’s part of the built-in package.

To become skilled in heavy-duty behavior modification work is something that takes obsessive focus and much experience. It takes the trainer knowing how to effectively stop seriously problematic unwanted behaviors (obedience work is about teaching dogs what TO DO, rather than what NOT TO DO), and it takes a mind devoted to creative and complex problem solving.

Owners, if you see video evidence of a trainer getting dogs to do stuff that you’re unable to do — like fancy obedience — please do not confuse this work (which is great stuff if that’s what you’re looking for), with being synonymous in dealing with serious problem behavior. They are not the same, although many skilled trainers can do both very well. Your job, if your goals and your issue are relating to serious behavior issues is to ensure that you find someone who specializes in this work. Look for videos showing dogs that exhibit problem behaviors similar to your dog’s, and look for those problems being successfully resolved. Repeatedly.

Check out three of our board and trains rocking their on and off leash obedience! Three young dogs, three different households, three different backgrounds, all one goal, to be the best they can be.

Board and Trains getting that duration work in 🙌🏼#wheresmytreat

We are booked out straight from sun up to sun down. We book atleast a month out at a time. Any gaps in our schedule are for going to the bathroom or scarfing food down! At most I’m getting 5 minutes here and there. I know dog trainers aren’t the only one who get asked this ALL the time. “Can you just see us during your lunch? After hours? We will come early in the morning?” No. Don’t be that client 😘

Every one of these dogs is under.a.year 👀 Week four and this basic class is beyond impressive! We have a few spots left in our group class starting November 21st! Get your evaluation in so you can join!

Apparel order is in! And they are 😍! Message us to arrange pick up! Thank you AGAIN Bee’s Custom Embroidery ! We do have some extras! Let us know if you’re interested!

And that’s a wrap to our Agility 101 Class!

Board and Train Piper is rocking her leash walking with us! Piper is a young Golden Retriever that is used to the “my way or the highway” state of mind. She is a strong girl who used to throw her weight around, now she enjoys calm and relaxed walks!

Our Story

Mountainside K9 offers professional private and group dog training as well as board and trains, dog walking and pet sitting to St. Lawrence, Jefferson and Lewis County areas.

Michaela grew up with large dogs from Shepherd crosses to Siberian Huskies in the Adirondack Region. She constantly was teaching them how to do new things such as tricks or pulling sleds and skis. Moving to the Rochester Area in August of 2014, she obtained her Veterinary Technology degree from Medaille College and as well became a certified dog trainer through Penn Foster. Michaela firmly believes that schooling and “becoming certified” is one thing, but experience and putting yourself to the test is another. She applies that to all of her clients and dogs as well.

“You can go through and graduate as many obedience classes as you want, but having a dog apply those behaviors in the real world is the ultimate reward”.

While in Rochester Michaela was involved with many different working K9 clubs which is where her knowledge and passion really blossomed.
