💜Nox & Remi💜
I love receiving such wonderful progress videos🥰 My amazing client sent me this last night and I had to share. “Nox” is an older Shepherd/Husky mix & he’s been around their older cat Salem, but he has never been exposed to a kitten. “Remi” is around 5 months old (or so) now & is growing very quickly as kittens do! My client has done an amazing job supervising the both of them & reinforcing all of this beautiful/calm behavior. Remi is a confident kitten that goes around Nox quite a bit, but neither one of them seem stressed at all. He is curious about her, but I am beyond proud of the outstanding control he is showing. They are peacefully existing together without any major obstacles. My client took her time and has done everything the right way thus far. I wish everyone were this responsible & loved their babies as much as she does. Her two kitty cats & Nox are beyond blessed to have her for their mommy. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GABBY… you are not just a wonderful mommy to your fur babies, but you’re an excellent trainer for them as well. KEEP IT UP OVER THERE & I will see you again soon!!!
💜🎉💙YAY A+++💙🎉💜
💙Dutton💙
Back with one of my top 🌟Star Students🌟 “Dutton” last night. He’s around 4 months old & growing very quickly. He’s going to be a BIG adult dog. He’s a typical playful, mouthy, jumpy puppy. We once again covered a lot of excellent exercises to set him up for success. Here he is learning how to “stay in his place” (especially near the front door where he gets very excited when people come in). That’s why you see me here moving around the home.. touching everything/my keys… all the natural sounds that normally entice dogs to get up and see what’s going on. He did a phenomenal job once again & showed outstanding control… you all are making me so very proud…YAY!!!🤩👍👍👍 Keep up that awesome work!!!

💜Cheyenne💜
This may seem like a basic video to the viewers, but this is a GIGANTIC step in the right direction for this particular family. At our first session, their older son took part in all of our exercises. Their youngest son however, did not want anything to do with training or their new puppy. I fully understand his hesitancy since we all know puppies are mouthy/jumpy/get overstimulated…etc. Ryker this time around wanted to be involved the entire time. That will be so important for Cheyenne’s early development and building up her control/listening skills with the entire family. My client’s parents were also there this entire session & learned a lot themselves. That will be incredibly helpful when they watch her at their house. We were able to cover a lot of wonderful exercises once again. She is one of my top 🌟star puppy students🌟. When we tried to practice upstairs, she was very mellow and just wanted to relax by the fireplace in her big comfy bed (can’t blame her one bit😆)!!! There were 6 of us (humans) downstairs, so she was a little distracted to start. I was guiding her while Ryker was reinforcing a nice “Recall”. I am so proud of you dude… YOU DID A PHENOMENAL JOB WITH CHEYENNE…YAY!!!🤩👍👍👍
BIG thumbs up…you get a well-earned
💙🌟A+🌟💙
It is the best feeling in the world setting these beautiful puppies up for success & to see a child’s confidence grow while building a healthy/safe bond in the process!!! It’s one of the best parts of my job and doing private sessions… you made training very rewarding & fun Ryker & that’s how training is SUPPOSED to be!!!😁
❤️Mardi❤️
I started working with another awesome, responsible family yesterday & their 1 year old Labradoodle boy “Mardi”❤️ They have another (even larger) Labradoodle “Levi”❤️ “Mardi” is the younger of the two and needs the most training. We were able to brief through so many great exercises & he responded to everything perfectly. I always say…Poodles are like the smartest kid in the class😆 We will get Levi involved in our upcoming sessions because boy do they get excited when people come in the door!!!🤪 Two big, friendly, handsome, intelligent goofballs😆 I love these boys already. They just got all new windows in their beautiful home. Mardi is jumping up in excitement at all of the stimulations outside. We don’t need him pouncing on the windows, nor do they want him destroying the top of the couch. Most trainers would recommend he stay off of the furniture completely. Many trainers also use “crutch approaches” and would tell them to put up window film/blinds or curtains and block off the stimulation. The only problem is, do you want to have to do that for the rest of your dog’s life?!!!… Also, if you never properly expose them to the stimulation and build up control the right way… then, every time they see any stimulation out the window they will go extra crazy. Since they are both incredibly affectionate/friendly dogs…I don’t want to take away the privilege of being on the furniture with their mommy and daddy… nor, do I want to take away the privilege of observing what is going on outside. We taught Mardi that he can be on the couch, but he has to offer a strong “Sit & Down”. He can look out the window, as long as he’s not jumping excessively on the top of the couch/or being forceful around the window. Eventually, we’re going to have stimulations outside to test him and build up more control. We are also going to teach him how to observe everything calmly & quietly. I don’t mind if dogs alert us to what is going on
💜Cheyenne💜
This is one of my newest puppy students…ADORABLE “Cheyenne”🥰 They are such a fun, cool family to be working with. Incredibly responsible people that called me up and set up their sessions before they even brought this cutie pie home. They have had dogs before, but they wanted to be sure that they set their new girl up for success early on. They have 2 boys in the house… so, Cheyenne is going to have a very active, exciting life. They will be taking her everywhere & she will even get to go camping with them. They were eager to learn as much as possible, and that makes my heart VERY HAPPY!!!🥰 She was very excited when I first got there (jumping & humping🤪), but I am impressed that she slept on her big beautiful dog bed during our entire consultation. Their older son took part in the physical exercises & did an exceptional job following instructions & his timing with the “Clicker” was awesome!!! We covered a lot of the puppy necessities… she is a sharp little cookie and they are going to be able to teach her whatever they put their minds/energy to. They are way ahead of the game & I couldn’t be more proud. I am thrilled to be a part of your new journey. You all get a GIGANTIC A+ for our first session. I will see you all again in the New Year… I hope you all have a beautiful Christmas!!!

💞Kade & Harper💞
This particular video may seem very simple to the viewers, but this is MAJOR IMPROVEMENT in the right direction for this beautiful family…YAY!!!🤩 I have mainly been working with “Kade”… he is their newest pack member & such a good boy. They have taught him so many amazing things already. Their 4 year-old dog “Harper” is a sweetheart herself, but she has some hesitancy around new people & anxiety outside on walks. She will freeze up and shake. We don’t want to coddle that fearful behavior… we wanted to get her brain and feet moving in a more positive direction. We kept it really fun/upbeat & took her out first around the neighborhood. We put her on a safe, beautiful collar instead of a harness. That in itself made a tremendous difference. We gave her encouragement and kept her body moving. She was doing so well that we decided to bring Kade out to join in on the fun. However, we do not want him turning into her “security blanket” where she will only go for a walk if he is present. She did a fabulous job by herself & when he was out there. They are the sweetest family & most responsible, loving owners any dog could ever ask for🥰 These two cutie pies get along perfectly & they will definitely have full, happy lives. I have enjoyed seeing them all snuggled up on the couch together after each successful session. YOU ARE MAKING ME SO VERY PROUD MEGAN AND PATRICK👍👍👍 Keep up the outstanding work… I will always be here whenever you may need me!!!

💙AFTER VIDEO💙
Back yesterday with my handsome student “Dasher”🥰 I posted a “before video” so you all could see that he had no interest in the car whatsoever. This is a common issue for many owners. Every time his mommy had to take him somewhere, she would need someone to come over and help lift him up in there. This is not realistic since he is very young… he is very strong… he has no health/handicap issues & is more than capable of getting in the vehicle by himself. He is almost 90 pounds & we don’t need his mommy hurting herself trying to get him in there. We kept this very positive/rewarding as training should be!!!🤩 He caught on much faster than most of my other students with this obstacle. We had him happily going in & out with no problems. His mommy was ecstatic!!!😁 Now she can reinforce this a few minutes every day & get over his hesitancy once and for all…YAY!!! I am so proud of the both of you… it was nice seeing you and all of your fur babies🐶😻🐶Thank you so much again Lorraine for the beautiful Christmas card. I hope you have a wonderful holiday & I will see you in the new year!!!

Back with my handsome student “Dasher” yesterday. This is a little “before video” just to show you that he has no interest in the car whatsoever. This is a common problem for a lot of owners. He is almost 90 pounds & his mommy has had to have assistance lifting him into the vehicle every time she had to take him somewhere. That is not realistic since he is very young.. he is very strong.. no health issues & more than capable of getting in there by himself. He caught on quicker than most of my other students with this obstacle. We kept this very fun & rewarding as training should be!!!🤩 I will post his amazing progress in an “after video”. You and your mommy did such a phenomenal job…YAY!!!
🎉Good boy Dasher🎉
💞Teddy & Luna💞
Such a wonderful feeling to see this amazing family I’ve been working with again. I have not seen them since the end of May. “Luna & Teddy” had a lot of health issues that they had to overcome before we could continue our training. They also had a successful spay & neuter surgery… luckily that is out of the way now! The family was so responsible and vigilant… They even had to keep the puppies separated for awhile until they resolved their Giardia and kennel cough. They are right on the beautiful lake in Medford. These puppies hit the jackpot… God certainly blessed them with the perfect family🥰 They never gave up and took care of their babies. I commend them for all of the hard work they put into these cutie pies. Now that they moved their large crates & playpens out of this back living room … we had much more space to practice. We covered a lot of important things again last night now that they are both feeling much better. They have an older dog Dudley as well… he’s almost completely deaf, so they certainly have their hands full!!! He’s a sweetheart himself & luckily they all get along just fine. They have been so very kind and welcoming to me💜 Even though we’ve had some setbacks, we are back on track with training🤩👍👍👍 Everyone did a perfect job yesterday… I hope you all have a beautiful Christmas & I will see you again in the new year!!!

💙Kade💙
Back last Tuesday with one of my top 🌟Star Students🌟 “Kade” & his daddy, Patrick🤩 Kade is around 9 months old… they have an older, sweet dog “Harper” & they get along perfectly. They are the most wonderful, responsible family & want to make sure he is set up for success young. Even though he is not a large dog, he is still very strong & solid muscle. We started to teach him a nice strong “Heel”…”Stop-Sit-Stay”… how to “Leave” distractions alone (especially squirrels😆) & to “Focus” on his owners around all of these high stimulations. He was engaged with his mommy and daddy VERY WELL… GOOD BOY KADE👍👍👍 You all are making me so very proud… your doggies & kitty cats are blessed with the most beautiful, loving home. See you again in a couple of weeks… keep up the phenomenal work!!!
🌟🎉Another A+🎉🌟
💜Daisy💜
Back with beautiful “Daisy” yesterday🥰 We were able to cover lot of important exercises once again with her amazing listening skills. They have a big family with three children… You can hear their 6 month old baby laughing in the background. He was thoroughly enjoying watching us train his doggie😍 They also have a senior dog & the parents younger dog was staying over at the house while they are on vacation. Those two were outside so we could focus on Daisy’s training without too many major distractions to start. She did get a lot of playtime yesterday with the parents dog, so she was pretty mellow. She is learning how to go to her “Place” at a distance & a very strong “Stay”. This is so important when they have to tend to the baby (whereas most owners would just remove their dogs from the room completely or crate them). I went around their big, gorgeous home & made all those natural sounds as a distraction to see what she would do. She stayed in place the entire time like a true queen…YAY DAISY!!! She responded to everything perfectly yesterday & this is why I love Golden’s so much. She has the most loving, gentle temperament & is the best family dog anyone could ask for. EXCELLENT WORK🤩👍 She is definitely one of my top 🌟Star Students🌟
💜🎉💜BIG A+💜🎉💜
💜Poppy & Muki💜
I have been working with the most amazing family & their (now) 8 month old puppy “Poppy”🥰 Their older dog “Muki” of course gets attention too while we are training😍 At today’s session… we were starting to teach her a beautiful “Heel”-“Leave It” with distractions-“Focus” on us much better & a strong Stop-Sit-Stay. She is getting bigger & stronger every time I see her. She was doing a great job leash walking, but their handsome tan tabby kitty cat “Fergus” came outside and distracted her a little bit too much😜 She has so much playful energy that we had to get it out of her so she could engage with us much better. She got a little bored playing fetch, so we decided to work on a fun “Recall” to burn out that excessive energy. We were keeping it super fun & exuberant for her… it is so important to build up her control because she is a jumper & a nippy puppy. She was running back-and-forth having a good time & sitting perfectly instead of jumping all over us/or nipping at our clothes. I am beyond proud of them… they have made me feel so incredibly welcomed. They are a pleasure to work with & I am thrilled that both dogs are getting along much better than when we first got started. I will be posting much more about this precious girl soon. Keep up all of that fabulous work🤩👍👍👍
💜🎉💜HUGE A+ EVERYONE!!!💜🎉💜
