We did a little frisbee dog sport demo this morning! Let me know if you try it in this beautiful weather and if it helped you and your dog! #frisbee #dogsports #dogtraining
Today we took a deep dive into reactivity to explain what it is and where it comes from exactly! Understanding can only lead to better, more humane training practices and empathy for our dogs.
Your dog isn’t giving you a hard time, they are having a hard time

This is my rant about reactivity…prompted by seeing a trainer have no idea what they’re doing. Let’s do better and help these dogs who are really struggling. It’s sad to see so much pain and force out there. “Your dog is not giving you a hard time, they are having a hard time” #reactivity #behaviormodification #forcefree #nopain #allgains #dogtraining
It’s a perspective shift!! The crazy @&$t I hear from my students of things that trainers have said to them or read on the internet is getting ridiculous. Your dog can sleep in bed with you. You can share food with your dog. You better reward your dog if you want them to repeat behaviors. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #forcefreefriday #forcefreetrainer

Running into my workweek with the dogs! Let’s do this thing! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #forcefreedogtraining #letsgo
This has been at the top of my list of conversation topics with my students lately! We set the bar SO high for our dogs and expect perfection. Let’s normalize not having to train every single thing. It’s OKAY to simply manage something or take it out of the equation all together. Does your dog struggle to get along with puppies? That’s FINE! Your dog doesn’t HAVE to feel social in all contexts. Letting your dog make decisions about who they are comfortable with is always the way to go! Let’s stop forcing our dogs to do things they don’t want to do #dogtraining #forcefree #belmar #belmardogs #positivereinforcement #dogtrainer #stopthemadness
I can't count how many times I've been in assessments and gotten the cringe face from my students after being told their dog sleeps in bed with them. And then the relief when they hear me say, "Yeah, I don't care about that!" There is nothing wrong with allowing your dog to snuggle in bed and bond with you. If anything, it strengthens your relationship and does you a lot of good! Let the snuggles commence!! #dogtraining #forcefreedogtrainer #nodominance #loveyourdog #letthemsnuggle #sleepingdog
Woo hoo! This is the first service that we will be offering for our community! Spend 8 weeks with us and your puppy to learn all the ins and outs of dogs and how to raise a puppy with your environment and lifestyle in mind! We design our training around you and your specific needs, so you won't see a set agenda. We want to help YOU and make sure we are setting you up for success! We train with ONLY force free methods. No pain, all gains!
