Thank you for an amazing learning experience!

Don’t forget to agree. We always disagree with undesirable behavior, but if we don’t also agree with desired behavior, we don’t give our dogs other options. They just guess. They may understand what you don’t like, but what do you like? What behavior can I give you instead?

When we are working with busy brains, there’s already a lot of noise and chaos in their heads. Too much chitter chatter adds to the chaos. If you truly want to reach that dog, speak in their native tongue…body language, energy, tone (not words per se). You’ll provide more clarity if you stop the extra chatter. Spoken language is your communication style, not your dog’s.

The leash only has the meaning you give it. If, when you grab the leash, you get excited and say “walkies?!”, then the leash will represent excitement and it will be more difficult to begin your walk in a calm manner. Your walk begins with what the leash represents. Will it begin with chaos or with structure?

Bernie is always on alert in public. He makes it difficult for his owners to walk him due to his reactivity towards other dogs.
So, after building our foundations, we headed to the local park and worked on some confidence and relationship building as well as ways to work WITH him and enjoy time out instead of stress. He made huge improvements, even with dogs barking at him. His owners did a great job giving him what he needed and he responded beautifully. We still have some work to do but I’m proud of their progress. Good job team!

This handsome boy is Ben. He’s fitting in nicely with his new pack but he is struggling on walks and he’s a pretty cautious boy. Right now we are focusing on meeting him where he is at and understanding his needs. We are working to build trust, communication and confidence. I’m excited to be part of his journey. His owners are putting in a lot of effort to make sure he’s understood and he certainly appreciates it.

A solid recall could potentially be the difference between life or death. If you have a dog running towards the street, down a field, chasing something, being chased by something, etc., you need to be able to call them back to you.

It’s worth it to spend a little extra time making sure you have a reliable “come” command so that you can call your dog out of any potential “danger zone” and back to safety.

It’s not about how impressive your recall is or what other people think. It’s about keeping your dog safe.

Meet Cielo. Her owners originally contacted me because they have a new baby in the home and they wanted to reintroduce her into the home with proper boundaries. We are a few sessions in and she’s much more respectful of the baby’s space but we still have a lot of work to do in the area of confidence and trust building. I can’t wait to see how she continues to progress. Her owners are doing an amazing job with her.

Join us for some puppy fun! Drop by and grab a treat bag or stay for a few activities and games.

* Please make sure your dog is secured on a leash and collar (not a flexi lead or harness) as there will be other dogs present, whether in passing or staying for a bit.

Adi is exploring during her walk around the neighborhood. Let your dog explore and sniff and discover new things. Heel is important to know but it’s ok to break it up and have fun. Engage with your dog 🐕

Siberian Huskies are an ancient breed, possessing more primal instincts than some other breeds. They come from Siberia (Russia) where they were originally bred for sled pulling and they are still used to pull sleds today.
They can have a high prey drive and lots of energy.
They are pack oriented and need proper socialization, engagement and exercise to be fulfilled.

Adi has a tendency to get a little excited on walks and she has redirected and nipped her owners before so we are muzzle conditioning her as a precaution. This is the best way to safely and confidently work through it without any further incidences. I just want to clarify that muzzle conditioning does not mean she is a bad dog or an aggressive dog. She is not. We are simply setting her and her owners up to succeed. Once we have her walking nicely, we can work without it. 🐶

Proper communication and consistency is key to an enjoyable walk. Make sure your dog understands what you expect of them and hold them accountable. Tools are there to help as needed, not control. Bacchaus and his owner are starting to get on the same page here and that is where you can have more freedom to do more with your dog.

This is Archie. I’ve been working with his “brother” (from another mother) 😂 Kirby on some behavioral issues but Archie needs some training too. We are enforcing boundaries and commands at home to make it easier for everyone all around.

Eye contact is a big part of communication. Make sure your eyes are visible in the moments that count. #purecaninetraining #eyecontact #communication #relationshipbuilding #clearcommunication #beconsistent #privatedogtraining #dogtrainer #westcovina #sangabrielvalley

It’s been 4 years since I’ve worked with this girl but she was a blast to work with! I found this old video in my phone and she did a good job of making my point when I’m always saying “get your dog’s attention first”…she said “like this?” 🤣 . . . . . . . . . . . #purecaninetraining #saintbernard #saintbernardsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #saymyname #getattention #recalltraining #comecommand #dogtrainer #westcovina #sangabrielvalley

Ghost is one of the 32 abandoned dogs in Rowland Heights. I’ve been working with him on a few behaviors and manners to make him the ideal partner for someone. He’s a great guy.

Understanding the dog helps get to the root of the problem rather than focusing on one behavior that is truly just a symptom of a deeper problem. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #purecaninetraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofinstagram #dogs #understanding #dog #behavior #gettotheroot #changingmindsets #sangabrielvalley #westcovina #losangeles

What is a dog to you? It’s not about dominance or being the “alpha”. It’s about connecting and creating a partnership with another species.
