What do Lori and I do after hours (sometimes)? Host interviews and publish on the podcast! Last night we interviewed Katie and we had a hilarious conversation about her dog, Winnie. I’ll link the podcast in the comments. Need training! Reach Out.

Off - Leash Heeling

This summer and fall I taught a drop
in off leash heeling course for owners and dogs who have trained with me in the past. I’ve been going on 1/1 hikes to proof training. Henry and Haley joined Raven and I yesterday.

If you took the class, book a session before winter so we can work! If you need to train, shoot me a message on the contact form which I will note in comments.

Gus came for training today and test drove our new Fall Photo Scene 🎃 He is working on collar conditioning for off leash reliability. He was in a service dog program prior to being adopted by and his obedience is already on point. Thanks to for the amazing props and for helping us set up the space!

Does participating in dog sports make a trainer better?

I can only answer this question from my experience. Without doubt, yes, participating in dog sports makes me a better trainer. The reason? Because I learn more about dog behavior and how to teach a dog new things. A challenging goal that I can’t currently achieve creates space to learn. These goals require me to attract resources to teach me the “how” to get to the “why.”

However, it’s easy to get distracted by my own personal goals which can detract from my job of helping others achieve balance with their own dogs. We’ve all seen social media dog trainers obsessed with their work videos and are thus not relatable to average owners. Most people care about having a well mannered dog to live with in daily life.

Disc dog sports and competition obedience are not important to my clients. But, a good professor does research and publishes in addition to teaching. I am no professor, but it’s important for me to follow that logos of self development in my profession.

If you’re interested in hearing more of our perspective, check out . Lori and I get into the nitty gritty and hopefully will make you laugh along the way. 📷

Toss&Fetch World Championships were today! Club Framingham participants joined other teams from the NE region for a day of play. Here’s a goofy pic of us with our disc lovin dogs. More pics coming soon. No better way to start my September break from work. Off for walks and hikes till 9/16.

Rarely do I bring my personal dogs on hikes. I’m too busy these days! But today, Reuben and Raven joined Cali and Monte and we had a great hike.

In fairness, I would probably fire Reuben if he was a client. He loves to be far away from me, even though he’s trained on the remote collar, and his prey drive is high. This isn’t a bad thing but I need to be able to see the dogs 100% of the time. Despite this, He had a great time today.

Raven would be a great all around hiker and companion during the day. However, there are days and times where she would have to be in the car quite a bit and this isn’t always safe.

Some dogs from today. Good days work!

Hiking is my favorite. Tucker, Blitz & Piper

Exercise ≠ Training and Management. In fact, too much exercise and overstimulation in the heat is extremely dangerous. If I bring dogs back from a hike, they will still want to chase bunnies in the yard even though they are “tired.”

08/06/2024

Monte, Tucker, Cali & Leo. Finally the heat broke and I don’t feel like I’m a complete out of shape mess. I’m not a fan of making excuses. However, it is ok to recognize reality. The weather has been incredibly hot and humid and it affects me and the dogs negatively. I have to shorten walks and hikes in the heat for safety. If the temperature plus the humidity < than 150, I shorten outings.

Keeping my side of the street clean. That means picking up and respecting private property. Signs like this on private and public property usually appear because handlers aren’t respectful. It’s not hard to keep dogs off a lawn on a street walk.

3 local fields in Wi******er are now completely off limits to dogs after years of zero restrictions. And I can’t blame the town one bit. Sometimes I would go and there would be huge messes or big holes.

All of these issues can be solved by training your dog. Teach dogs to walk on a loose leash and simply pay attention to them when they are off leash. Call them back to you if they dig and pick up after them if they mess. Super simple!

Lori takes care of our dogs. Period. She has a sixth sense when it comes to their well being - Even taking care of them more than herself at times. Her wisdom comes from a lot of experience and natural talent. Even her touch is talent. Raven is 16 days post spay and her scar needs tending to daily. Lori keeps it dry and dirt free and applies the right treatment. I wish I contributed more in this department, but I’m learning a lot over the years. @abcdogtraining if she ever says “there’s something wrong with this dog” believe her.

An Owner’s Perspective!

Hope you set your mind on something today and get it done. Even if it’s as simple as unloading the dishwasher or listening to your partner. I’ll do the same.

CDX Open practice: broad jump with props. We failed this exercise on our previous try because Raven f*d off and tried to jump over the high jump after she jumped the broad. She was just having a ball and I had to call her back to me. We have been practicing with different set ups to prepare for the future. #akcobedience

Taking time to just chill is a big part of the game. Stop and smell the roses! It pays off.
