Sometimes it’s the little things that can make BIG changes.

This is probably one of the most basic changes you can make walking your dog. Too many people dread taking their dogs for a walk and I hope you experience nice walks and hikes with your dogs.

This week in my Behavior Lab I will be showing a video on how to get ready to take your dog for a walk.

Sounds simple, and it can be after a little work.

I’ll start with no leashes on the dogs, no jacket, and no shoes on. And I will be showing them how to work through each step until I am fully ready to walk them out of the door on leash with jacket and shoes on.

If you are struggling with that scenario, this will be the best week for you to join.

Comment “lab” and I’ll send you all the details on how to join.

See you Tuesday!

Have you ever had a dog like this?

Can your dog tell time?

26/12/2025

You’re listening for the noise of barking and whining.

You’re not listening for the silence.

The gaps in barking are the doorways and gateways in what you are trying to create with your dog. (And also to hi they are feeling).

The silence is just as important as the barking.

I dissected a video of a dog’s behavior at the front door this week in The Behavior Lab. This was one of the topics we discussed on top of another video we chatted about.

This is what we do every week and next week we are talking “thresholds”.

Doorway chaos is almost always a symptom, not the problem.
Arousal, anticipation, unclear expectations — that stuff shows up long before the door ever opens.

🔬Tomorrow in the Behavior Lab we’re breaking down:
• why doorway greetings explode
• what dogs are actually rehearsing before the door
• and how to change the pattern instead of managing the moment

This is the kind of behavior work I do every week inside the Lab.

🐶 For dogs w/o structure, this can create a fight 🐶

My job as a trainer is to bridge the gap between dog and owner. At the end of the day I train more people than dogs……..

AND I LOVE IT!

Yes, I’m one of those people that LOVES working with people and kids. I’ve been in the customer service industry for 30 years. You can expect nothing but positive vibes and no matter where you are in your training journey, you won’t find any judgement in how I teach you.

Join my Behavior Lab, a weekly classroom designed to better the relationship with your dog.

This is a short clip from the first Behavior Lab call yesterday.

The subject was “following vs. exploring”.

Often times the mistake we make as dog owners is that we combine the 2.

We want structure with the dog next to us but we want to give them freedom.

You can provide both to your dog, but your dog needs to know what to expect and when.

Kids don’t have math class sitting at a desk on the playground.

And they certainly don’t play kickball in the classroom.

Make it easier for your dog to understand your expectations.

Next week we talk about Arousal Pattens where I will be breaking down 2 different videos.

The Behavior Lab is now open to the public. Link in bio!

Do you have a nervous dog?

This was my second visit to their home and they experience lots of barking and some lunging at times with their dog.

During my first visit it took their dog about 20 minutes to settle down. This go around it took about 4 minutes so they are making some serious headway.

By using something like my jacket that has a ton of scent on it, I’m encouraging her to use her nose to come curious of me. This won’t make us besties by any means.

I’m just looking for progress.

And I truly LOVE working with these types of dogs. It’s so rewarding so see them settle, become curious, and become more accustomed to something that makes them more comfortable.

Over the last 18+ years, the biggest thing I’ve learned is this:
most dog owners don’t need more commands — they need understanding.

The Behavior Lab is a weekly classroom where I teach you how to read behavior, spot patterns early, and make better decisions with your dog in real time.

Each week is a different subject.
Some weeks we teach concepts.
Some weeks we break down real videos.
Some weeks we answer questions that actually matter.

This isn’t a course.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all program.

It’s ongoing coaching, real discussion, and practical clarity.

Enrollment is now open.

These moments tell you EVERYTHING about your dog’s state of mind — but most people don’t see it.

This is the kind of behavior breakdown I’ll be teaching every week inside The Behavior Lab.

If you want:
• deeper understanding
• weekly guidance
• case breakdowns
• and clear explanations that actually click…

Comment “LAB” below and I’ll send you the waitlist link.

Enrollment for the waitlist opens Friday.
Spots go first to the people on that list.

This is just a quick example of how you can learn from recording your dog during play sessions.

You will see patterns emerge and then your dog becomes predictable.

We spent about 10 minutes on this one video while I broke down the body language of each dog.

I’ll be spending time focusing on these types of videos in my NEW Behavior Lab on top of other subjects which I’ve already lined up for the next 7 months.

The lab is designed to improve your skills as a dog handler, owner, and provider.

This is for anyone from shelter volunteers to every day dog owners and even trainers.
