Shared from 🤍🐶 “There are many methodologies, ideologies & techniques when it comes to training your dog. For owners, it can be an exceptionally confusing experience to navigate. However the ONE aspect which should never falter while training your dog is COMMUNICATION.

E Collar training should be looked at as the “icing on the cake” of a great foundation you have created with your dog. An electronic collar does NOT solve your behavioral issues or provide a magic wand type of experience. The truth is an E Collar provides no context or direction, it only enhances it. An owner must use this tool in conjunction with this in mind.

Clear communication- E Collars allow communication with dogs through a language they already know and understand, touch. E Collars are muscle stimulators. They “grab” the muscle & pulsate them. Think of it as tapping someone on the shoulder or even grabbing them by the arm.

Reliability- E Collars create non negotiable boundaries you are able to enforce in a non confrontational & neutral way.

Off Leash Freedom- E collars allow for communication with dogs at a distance. Many collars have a range of 1/2 mile! You can feel confident in letting your dog off leash after training.

Relationship- Clear communication improves any relationship. E Collars can bridge the gap between human & dog.”

Chloe was recently adopted and was having a difficult time in her new home. I spent time with her owners teaching them how to communicate clearly with her and instill much needed structure for her.

Sookie became extremely reactive to everything whenever she was outside since she moved to south FL several months ago. Often times small dogs get a pass on their unwanted behaviors because of their size and cuteness. We worked with her the same way we would with a large dog. We gave her owner the necessary tools to continue to build upon going forward.

Pilon is a big, young Weimaraner who lives on a horse farm. His owner put in the work with him in between our training sessions to get him to become reliable off leash and a good all around dog.

Finished training Sammy and his human family. These first-time dog owners are ready to help him grow up to become an obedient and confident dog.

Bruno is a young chocolate Lab who was becoming increasingly more difficult for his owner to deal with. We taught them structure, boundaries and consistency which has improved both of their lives.

Same message just a different year.
Asking what you have done to prepare your dog for fireworks is not shaming you. Many trainers choose to avoid the difficult subjects and cater to your personal feelings and the same anthropomorphic ideals you place on the dog.
The fireworks question is a serious question and one that I ask every year. Many trainers want to coddle their clients as much as the client does their dog.
Sorry, but that’s not us and never will be. If your dog needs medicinal help for this weekend so be it. Some dogs will need that assistance. The majority need you to teach it how to handle the stresses of life. Yes, it takes work but it is not about the fireworks it is about the training relationship you have overall with your dog. Fireworks are just an additional stimulus that you can work to overcome or lessen the impact of through real dog training.
I speak with many folks in the veterinary field. They overwhelmingly tell me that clients come in every year asking for meds for this time of year. They don’t ask how do we address the behavior for a therapy/training point of view first.
So while we are not shaming anyone we do ask the hard questions that others avoid.
If you look at it all from a therapy vs medicine or therapy and medicine angle it makes sense that a medicine first angle is a failure on your part. Raising a dog is full of failures but we should not give up before we even try and it is our responsibility to them to do more.

Wrapped up training with Kayso. Her new owner was overthinking and overtalking with her.
Our sessions involved training him as much as it was training her.

I love seeing clients happy with the changes in their dogs as a result of training after years of not knowing how to deal with their dogs' unwanted behaviors.

Sunny was well on her way to becoming the typical spoiled little dog. Destructive, constant yapping, etc. Neighbors even avoided her because of how reactive she was when they took her for walks.
She has done a complete turnaround since we started working with her and her owners.

"Dutch" is a GSD that came from a local rescue and was in desperate need of training. Initially, his owner was hesitant to have him trained using a remote collar. Now, he's extremely pleased with how much freedom he's able to give Dutch and how clearly he's able to communicate with him.

Bianca is an adorable young Frenchie whose owner was spoiling her beyond belief. We helped the owner with the crate and potty training along with adding structure and boundaries. All of which will benefit them both for years to come.

The more you say to your dog the more you confuse your dog. The less you say to your dog the more clearly you will communicate with them.
In other words sometimes you really just need to SHUT UP!
Then watch the dog finally be able to process and respond.
The average dog owner is likely creating what we would consider ADHD like behavior if it were a human.
Teach silently first.
The opposite is what 99% of dog owners do…
Sit, sit, sit, sit, Johnny SIT! Oh your such a good boy Johnny… here is a treat for being so smart.
Now look what you just reinforced.
Shut up and train without verbal and only add the verbal when you like the behavior you have shaped.
Lastly… SLOW DOWN!
Allow the dog to process and allow them to respond. We can build quicker responses later.
What most do… say the command and if the response is not immediate repeat the command until the dog magically gained clarity through your incessant gibberish.
Or… say the command and you IMMEDIATELY correct and never give the dog the ability to process and respond.
The end result is you are a human reliant on physical or electronic control over the dog. The dog is not left responsible for anything. Not good!
My desire is one verbal command followed by a compliant response. A response the dog chose to make to maintain comfort and seek reward faster.
So don’t over talk and over correct. They can’t learn a dang thing because you are an impossible teacher to understand.
Okay, I’m done now 🤯

Toto is a recently adopted young Yorkie who lacked confidence, boundaries and any sort of training. He has made great progress in those areas with the help of his owner, who is committed to helping him become the best dog he can possibly be.

Why crate training is important...

Crate training is an important part of dog training because it allows the dog to have a safe and comfortable space of their own. This can help with housebreaking, prevent destructive behavior, and provide a place for the dog to relax and feel secure.

Additionally, crate training can help with separation anxiety and prevent the dog from getting into potentially dangerous situations when left alone. It can also be useful during travel, providing a secure and familiar space for the dog.

Overall, crate training is a valuable tool for establishing boundaries and promoting good behavior in dogs. It can benefit both the dog and their owner by providing a structured and positive environment for training and everyday life.

Zoey, is a 6 months old mini Schnauzer who just competed the on leash obedience program.
She has a ton of energy, and her biggest challenge was impulse control. Her owners are experienced Schnauzer owners, so they're capable and willing to continue the work that was started while she was here.

The current group of dogs that are here for Board + Train programs.
A Mini Schnauzer, a couple of Frenchie x Pittie mixes and a Boxer.
