Molly the Bernedoodle and
Enzo the Australian Shepherd

When Molly and Enzo first arrived a little over a week ago, both were filled with fear. Enzo had even nipped at someone and attempted to bite. Neither had much confidence, and the only command they knew was sit.

If given the chance, both likely would have bolted, unsure of themselves, uncertain of the world around them, and without an outlet to fulfill their natural instincts.

That’s where I come in.

They began a board-and-train program with me, and my first goal was simple: build trust. Before obedience, I focus on connection, creating a bond and helping each dog feel safe enough to explore who they are. By allowing them to do what they naturally enjoy, rather than constantly directing them, they began to open up. They started to find themselves.

Today, we see two dogs living harmoniously playing off leash, wagging their tails, and enjoying life with growing confidence.

My goal isn’t to have them follow a treat in circles or stare at me for approval; my goal is to change how they feel about themselves, about others, and about the world.

This video shows the progress we’ve made in a short time. There’s still work ahead, but the transformation has already begun.

Suzzanne and Izzy have been working hard on retrieving the dumbbell.

This exercise can be the hardest task for some while working towards their open obedience title.

Today she figured out the puzzle.

Go Izzy Go !!!

Marley was happy to see his Mom and Dad.

I hope they let him listen to Bob Marley at home.

Marley goes home tomorrow.

When he showed up, he wasn’t just “difficult.” He was a fighter. People-aggressive. Dog-aggressive. He had bitten both and when he bit, he meant to hurt.

Day one, I had to get him into my truck. Tried a ramp and no shot. My only option was to pick him up. If you saw that video, you know what happened, he came at me, even after I had already spent hours with him.

But here’s the thing: I didn’t break him. I didn’t punish him. I gave him a place to put on his boxing gloves. And once he realized the world wasn’t out to crush him, the fight turned into love.

Now, the same dog who once came at me with bad intentions leaves here as a lover.

I’m gonna miss this little guy.

Go Marley Go!!!

There’s one thing Marley has always loved to do….bite and fight.

But here’s the difference now: Marley has learned that biting me or others is not an option.

Instead of trying to suppress that drive and simply saying, “No, you can’t,” I gave him a healthy outlet. A place where he can use those same skills, but within structure, with rules.

And the rules matter. Here are the big three:
1. Bite the tug, not me.

2. Strike only when given permission.

3. Always let go when told.

By channeling what Marley loves into something productive, he gets to be himself, without being dangerous.

Go Marley Go!!!
