Ugh I can’t handle the cuteness! Fiona is a 14 week old Coton de Tulear poodle mix and she is the sweetest, softest little cotton ball ever. Her parents want her to be the best doggie she can be, so they were proactive in reaching out to me when she was just 10 weeks old to get the ball rolling with training. We’ve been working for the past several weeks on manners, kennel training, commands, and more. Fiona loves to new learn new commands and skills! She blew me away with how engaged she was during our first lesson. She has two of the best parents who make sure they are completing their homework each week and trusting me with the process. We’ve seen so much growth in this sweet girl in such a short amount of time. I am so excited to help her with her training as she continues to grow!🤍🐾

Happy Friday everyone from Bingo!🤪 This sweet boy has been doing a board and train for the past week working on so many skills. Bingo is a very nervous dog who unfortunately has had a couple bad interactions with other dogs in the time his new family has had him. This has resulted in anxious reactivity with other (big) dogs and people if his stress level is too high. This past week, we’ve worked on learning commands, stress coping skills, desensitization to pretty much everything, and appropriate greeting skills. The progress he has made is truly astonishing! It reiterates sometimes a dog just needs trust in the human. Dogs like Bingo thrive with consistency and boundaries, which ultimately lowers his anxiety because he knows he is safe with that human. With the appropriate training tools and clear communication, we have been able to walk by other dogs without any lunging, growling, or barking. He even was running and playing with my three shepherds by the end of the week! I am excited for Bingo’s family to see all the progress Bingo has made and him living a less anxious life!🐾🤍

Happy Friday from Finn!😍 Finn started training with me several weeks ago to conquer some lingering potty training issues, puppy manners, and puppy commands. His parents and I decided it would be best to do a week board and train to get a few things caught up in his training and create a solid foundation for them to keep practicing and maintaining. Finn also figured out how to play with other dogs as well as respect their space. He is such a sweeeeet boy and made huge progress in the week he was with me!

Happy Monday from Brock, the 5-month-old St. Bernard! 😍 Brock has started his training with me after his mom and dad quickly realized just how massive he’s going to be when fully grown and how important it is for him to be able to control his body. Brock also has a 3-year-old (human) brother, and they’re currently standing nearly eye to eye! 😅 We’re working on Brock’s manners, basic commands, and body awareness. He made so much progress within the first two weeks, which shows how dedicated his parents are to ensuring his training is successful. As we continue working together, Brock’s training will become more advanced as we start incorporating impulse control and stress coping skills. I’m so excited to watch Brock grow (I can’t wait to see just how big he gets! 😆) and to help him develop all the skills he needs to be a wonderful doggie! 🤍🐾

Does it get any cuter than this?!😭 I would like to introduce Bunker to everyone this morning! This sweet 12 week old, black lab puppy started training with me three weeks ago. Two weeks ago Bunker completed a week long board and train with me after his parents realized they were starting to struggle with potty training and kennel training. The “puppy trenches” are no joke and can be very difficult for some. I was able to take Bunker for the week and conquer kennel training, lay the foundation for potty training (and got him to sleep throughout the entire night!), teach him 20ish commands, introduce leash training, and much more! I was able to do a lesson with Bunker yesterday and the progress he has made is so impressive. I am looking forward to watching this cutie grow up and learn so much more!😍🐾

I promise you’re not seeing triple, but you are meeting Juju, Ludo, and Sampson! The three Bernese Mountain Doggies I have had the pleasure of working with for the past several weeks. Several months ago, their mom rescued Juju (3 years old) and all of her three week old puppies from PA and brought them back to NC to help raise. At the end of the 8 weeks, she and her husband decided to keep Juju and one of her puppies (Ludo), while finding great homes for all of her other puppies. Sampson is the gentle giant you see in the third photo, who is 1.5 years old, and the goofiest boy!😍 He came from a breeder they found and they have had him since he was 8 weeks old.

I came into the picture when their parents made the decision to keep Juju and quickly realized she would need formal training to help her acclimate her into their lifestyle. Juju was seen and used like a puppy making machine previously and kept either outside or in a kennel the majority of her life. Between a big move, having puppies, sending puppies off, being spayed, and recovering…the sweet girl has had a lot to adjust to. We’ve had to work on manners, potty training, coping with living inside a house like a pet, desensitizing to just about every thing, leash walking, and more. All of this while also helping Ludo learning all the skills and training that comes with being a puppy, and helping Sampson with the transition of going from the only child to having two siblings.

Their mom is doing such a great job juggling all three of their big personalities and the fact all three dogs are in such different stages of life. We are continuing working with all three of them to become the best pack they can be!🤍🐾

Let me introduce, Oliver, to everyone! Oliver is a yellow lab who has made leaps and strides of progress since his mom brought him home. After the initial 1-2 transitional weeks of leaving mom and his siblings, Oliver settled in very well with his new home and routine. We’ve been working on Oliver’s basic commands and beginning stages of impulse control to help that puppy brain make good decisions even with temptations. He picks up commands extremely quickly and seems to love learning new skills. We are working with him to be able to continue handling the stress that comes with a change in routine and environment to allow him and his mom to go do more adventurous activities. I am already so proud of all the skills he has already conquered and I’m excited to see him continue to learn!🤍🐾

Happy Sunday morning from baby Gus!😍 This cutie is a 4 month old goldendoodle who just got the best mommy and brother in the world. His big brother, Oakley (who you guys have seen him before on here!), was a little nervous to have a baby brother initially when Gus arrived home. Thankfully each day they are becoming more comfortable with one another. This brings up a great point that I feel like isn’t talked about a lot…the transition of bringing a new dog home. We want it to be so fun and exciting, and sometimes it super easy and cute. You get two dogs that are both super social and thankfully that transition is seamless. On the other hand, the majority of dogs need help handling the stress and change that with that transition. When the dynamic, routine, and pack changes it can throw a dog all out of sorts. That high stress can come from the dog you already have or the new dog coming into your home…and a lot of the time both dogs. It helps to keep routines as close to the same as before, having physical boundaries for both dogs, and controlled play/social time with you as the human managing that time. It takes roughly 3 weeks for that transition to readjust so patience is critical! Gus’s mom, already having worked with me when Oakley was a puppy, had a head start to implementing a lot of these techniques. After I got to see and do some training with Gus and Oakley together, I know they will be besties and the best brothers before we know it!!🤍🐾

Please say hi to Riley this Wednesday morning!👋🏻 Riley began her training with me a couple of weeks ago to learn the basics. Overall, she is a super smart, sweet, good dog but like every puppy needs help working on impulse control especially with having two younger (human) siblings to play with! They did a few sessions of training else where but decided, as a family, they needed training designed more specific for all of their needs. There is nothing better than having a golden who is so excited about life and getting any ounce of attention😆 This sweet girl is going to be such an amazing sister as we work on her skills and expectations! Slowing her body down enough to allow her brain to catch up will be trick to help all of her training click together!🙌🏻🐾

Sandy would like to say good morning to the Seaside fam!👋🏻 Sandy was recently rescued by his new family after he was found roaming the woods in SC. They reached out to me wanting help with his transition into their lifestyle and routine in hopes of Sandy being able to enjoy the neighborhood kids, pool time, and the beach! We began training and first started working on basic commands and manners. We’ve been taking it slow and allowing Sandy to become more comfortable day by day with his new lifestyle and learning his new boundaries. He was very much stuck in fight or flight mode when I first met him, but with the help of formal training and learning his body language, we have seen him relax in just a few short weeks. Sandy is super intelligent and loves to learn new skills!! I’m excited to help him grow and be the missing piece this family needed!🤍🐾

Walter wants to say happy Tuesday! Walter is a 6 year old collie who started training with me to work on his leash walking. He and his mom have taken walks ever since he was young so it was nothing Walter was unfamiliar with. Over the years Walter has learned the trick of planting (the dog stops walking and won’t budge anywhere) to have more say on where they go on walks and to get more treats. He was able to convince his mom in order for him to move he would need high values treats thrown out in front of him, sometimes doing this pretty far away from their house. His mom reached out to me desperate for help because walking with Walter is one of her most favorite things but it was no longer enjoyable. After our first lesson, Walter was a changed man and understood the (treat) reward would come at the end. With clear boundaries and communicating expectations, Walter walked perfectly for the first time in years. The other half of this equation is working with Walter’s moms to ensure they convey the same communication to him as I do when holding the leash. I am so excited for their family to start enjoying walks again and not worry about when/if Walter will plant!🤍🐾

Whew—what a crazy and busy couple of months it’s been! But as many of you know, I always find my way back to catching up on social media.

To kick things off, I’m so excited to introduce Nala! This sweet chocolate Lab puppy recently completed her very first board and train. Over the course of her training, she mastered 16 new commands and got a great head start on kennel training, potty training, and learning socialization boundaries. It was such a joy watching her progress—there’s nothing quite like witnessing that lightbulb moment when a concept clicks and you can see a dog truly understand. It never gets old!🙌🏻

Nala will begin her service dog training in the coming months, and I can’t wait to continue watching her grow, learn, and thrive. So proud of this little pup already!
