Lucy is an 8 month old pittie puppy that struggled with impulse control, which is a common problem with many dogs her age. When she'd get excited, she'd get nippy, so we worked on her understanding that mouths on us meant she no longer got engagement. After she started to learn how to settle at home and was more gentle with play, we started helping her work through different exciting objects that she had to disengage from. She is smart as a whip and started to learn that ignoring these objects meant she was rewarded with either a treat or a fun game of tug with an appropriate toy!

Finding a dog's motivation is so important in training, as not all dogs have the same motivator and different scenarios will change how valuable our reward needs to be. Food doesn't have to be the ONLY reward! I'm so proud of how much this lady progressed over just 3 lessons. ♥️

What do these two sleepy babies have in common? They were both challenged to control their emotions, one from excitement and one from anxiety/fear. So how did we approach each situation? Surprisingly, both had similar exercises to practice! Keep following and I will share each of their journeys!

One of the biggest things I've missed about NYC was being able to work with dogs. Imagine my glee when Luna's new family reached out to me and happened to find me on the CCPDT website's list of certified trainers in their area. They had plans to adopt a dog from Korea through and I happen to know a thing or two about working with Korean dogs! 😉

I'm so excited to work with this sweet girl and witness her really blossom in her new, loving home!

Coming back to NYC and seeing so many of my past clients really reminded me of how much building relationships with not only the dogs, but their owners too, means to me.

I love that I have been building the same connections out here with my Indy clients. Not only that, I am now really getting to know my students that are currently working towards becoming certified dog trainers! During the weekdays, I have been with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy as a Program Director. I've been assisting future trainers on their journey to bringing help to dog owners all around the country.

Fear not, I am STILL taking on new clients, but they are currently on a case-by-case basis. Message me for details on availability!

Chow Chows served many purposes as their breed came into development, from carting to, well....being chow. 😬

However one of their jobs was guarding. Ginger is a big baby, but every time she comes and stays with me, she just can't fight her instincts to keep watch over the house. She'd run away the moment there was danger, but her watching skills are very advanced. 👀

Sweet Lucus came from a difficult background and recently found his way into a new, loving home. He is wonderful with his new owners, but new strangers are scary for him and he is easily startled by any guests moving about the home.

For our first session, we worked on creating predictable elements in his environment, such as giving people a way to give him treats as they moved around and showing him ways to relieve social pressure on his own by walking away. In the beginning, I just ignored him completely. After a little time if he was curious about me, I would subtly show the palm of my hand and, if he was brave enough to get just a bit closer or even braver, actually *touch* my hand, I would get up, continuing to ignore him, drop some treats in a bowl and walk away. He was leery of the game at first, running away anytime I got up. Eventually, he didn't fully flee and felt okay enough to hop up onto the couch by me and take a short snooze. ☺️ I can't wait to watch this guy find his confidence!

🧼📦‼️

I've had multiple posts discussing behaviors that come naturally to particular breeds. Most of those were about herding breeds since I tend to work with so many. I feel like I can never talk about it enough because we often try to force square pegs into round holes. Luckily for Larry, his current fosters (and hopefully adopters!) have a lot of herding dog experience. 🙏🙏🙏

Unfortunately for many dogs, they are often chosen for their looks and the belief that training can mold them into the dog a person wants. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that's just not how it works. We cannot ask a dog to fully suppress the instincts that we have PURPOSEFULLY bred into their genetic makeup just for our own selfish reasons. It's incredibly unfair to ask a terrier to never chase anything without giving it something they can chase or expect a scent hound to walk at an attention heel when there are so many smells to explore.

Researching the breeds and making sure you are willing and able to meet their needs to give them a fulfilling life is ESSENTIAL!

Happy Holidays from mine to yours!! 🎄🎁

Remember to give your dog a place where they feel safe and can escape the holiday chaos and communicate with family and friends on how to interact with them to avoid them being overwhelmed with social pressure, too escalated, or being fed foods they can't tolerate.

Be safe, be jolly, be an advocate for your dog!!
