good girl Harley!
Thank you for letting us tag along for the walk, Harley is gonna be a well mannered lady in no time!

Wanna know the 4 sexiest words you can say to your dog walker?
WE GOT A TRAINER ❤️

I literally do a happy dance when I hear that people are working with trainers. And let’s debunk something right now.
Training is beneficial for every dog! Happy dogs, timid dogs, aggressive dogs, and yes even lazy dogs. And professional trainers will give you more insight on how to create a bond with your dog.

Yesterday my timing was perfect because my friend Harley was being dropped back home from her puppy daycare day. So I got to meet her trainer and the two of us took Harley for a walk. And it absolutely made my day because the two of us could talk about what we are working on with her and how we can synchronize our methods so she is learning the same thing consistently.
Big thanks to Alex from Tailwind Dog Training for taking time out of your day to walk with us. Team Harley is cooking with gas!!

I finally attended my first workshop.
I spent 3 days in Ohio at The Calm Companion to attend a Daycare Movement and Body Language workshop hosted by Ian Grant Vermont Dog Trainer who is re-defining dog daycare.
I learned so many things that i can’t wait to put into practice with my own pack.
I also met many amazing people who came from different walks of the dog world.
Unlimited thanks to Roseanne, her staff and to Ian for creating an incredibly welcoming and open environment and allowing all of us to feel comfortable to ask questions and be as involved as we wanted to be.
Now let’s get to work!

Ellie the bulldog learning the “Leave It” command and working on some impulse control.
This beautiful girl really enjoys saying hi to guests in the form of body slamming into them and leaving claw marks all over them.
Like most dogs who jump on guests out of excitement, they were never taught that there’s another way to greet them when they come in.
Bringing it back to the basics with “Place” and “Leave It” and great starting points to get some basic impulse control down, this session was the first time we tried “Leave It” and as you can see, it’s requiring a lot of brain power from her. The owners also have a 2 year old daughter who drops a lot of food on the ground, so you can imagine how hard it was for her to just not immediately go for the treats.
The basics of dog training are often overlooked and people think that because they aren’t a puppy anymore that they shouldn’t be doing the basics.
Keep it simple, keep the communication clear and don’t over complicate things for you and your dog.
Great work Ellie!!

One of my dogs Kaya gets anxious with transitions and settling into a new place, especially when her brother isn’t with her.
Instead of having her pace around and get even more anxious, I set up a cot and have her “Place” on it until she calms down, and then she is free to go and do what she pleases.
This is a time lapse video of close to 10 minutes, but you can really see her gradually get less anxious to the point of resting her head and just hanging out.
Place has many uses for your dog! Teaching them a solid “Place” command is an excellent tool for any dog owner to have.
