Lucky Dog Behavior & Training Becca - Behavior Consultant & Trainer based in Kenosha Co. Supporting member of IAABC I take a holistic approach to dog behavior.

My goal is to understand your dog from his/her point of view and to understand what's going on in their world so we can better understand how to help. Clients call me for things from basic obedience to aggression issues and my goal is always the same: understand the dog, empower the owner. I've been self-taught and continue to learn. If I'm not teaching you what I already know, I'm in a course or

webinar or book to learn something new. My constant eagerness to learn has put me in a position to help so many people with their dogs. Whether you just got a new puppy, brought in a rescue dog, or have had a dog for a while but are now experiencing problems, I can help! On a personal note, my husband and I have fostered and/or adopted 26 dogs in the last 10 years and many of them have had behavioral or health problems we've resolved. While my husband isn't a large part of my business, I do ask him to be part of things occasionally as he brings a very calm energy to my work.

This boy, Max, has been in rescue a long time.

Why?

Well, he doesn't like other dogs and that's a hard reality for many people. But you know what? Some dogs are like him. In fact, some people are like him! Some people just don't appreciate being around other people much. So, we give Max grace and we continue to find the right home for him that will love on him, keep him safe, and owners that won't put him in front of other dogs.

He absolutely has to be an only dog and someone with pittie experience would be ideal.

He LOVES people and LOVES to play. He's an expert snuggler and could benefit from someone who knows how to give him boundaries.

But seriously, look at that face! Someone out there must be the real deal. Max surely hopes so. He's available through Common Ground CRN.

Our dog, Rosco, is afraid of high winds. Today, there are high winds outside and he's freaking out. Poor dude. To combat this fear, I put bird sounds on YouTube and he will usually fall asleep.

Is your dog afraid of unusual things like this?

I have NO idea why this amazing pup hasn't been adopted yet. I assessed her a few months ago and we were hoping to place her in December. But that didn't happen. :(

She's a beagle mix with medium energy and LOVES to play with others. If you have a dog or dogs at home who love to play and you're looking for another cutie, she might be just right for you!

Reach out to Common Ground CRN or me for more information.

Hey is this thing on!?

Tyler doesn’t understand (and neither do we) why she is still in search of her forever home. She loves to play with her foster siblings, but also loves to snuggle with her foster parents at the end of the day.

Who has a dog (or dogs) looking to play with this precious girl - and has a fenced in yard?

We are looking for an adoptive home within 30 minutes of Antioch, Des Plaines or Elgin, Illinois.

I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of the best dog behaviorists and trainers around the area and the country. We all have one thing in common: to make dogs' lives better!

This meeting with Dr. Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. was epic. She was promoting her book at the time and while it was just a brief meeting, it was a wonderful connection. I've learned SO much from her.

My friend, and fellow dog lover, Jaime, joined me!

Loose dogs are no joke. Even if you trust your dog, they could still be on the offense or be defensive in certain situations. That's why leash laws exist. Leash laws keep YOU and your dog safe.

Some clients have asked me to train their dogs off leash and it can be done, but I only recommend this under intense supervision and familiar areas (i.e., your own property). And even in those situations, I will encourage a long lead to provide more freedom, but still gain control.

If you see dogs outside, unattended for any length of time, in this weather, you can call the police.

Don't let stress get the best of your dog this Halloween. Now's the time to start them on CBD to promote calmness. These Stress Releaf Edibites also contain ashwagandha - a naturally mild sedative - to aid in stress relief.

Crumpet had natural agility abilities so we put them to the test. This was early on in our session. By the end, she did this with minimal guidance and was ready to add more steps.

There will be no training on July 4. Enjoy time with family and friends and keep your dog safe!

The messy middle

Training isn't perfect. There's always a messy middle that often looks like this. This is Sadie learning "front" walk.

You should only need to give your dog a command once or twice before they process what you tell them. Check this out.

Harley is a new Golden Retriever client who really is the happiest dog I know. 😁 He's so full of joy and playfulness that it's been hard for his parent to set boundaries and even take him for walks. So we worked on exiting the house with calmness today and the result was him being much better on leash. He's practicing and will get the hang of it quickly, but he also was able to sit calmly when the FedEx AND Amazon guys made deliveries. That impressed his dog momma!

Teaching "touch" isn't hard but it IS about rewarding the right moment.

Doesn't matter what day of the week it is, or if it's a holiday… Dogs need exercise!

My Story

COVID-19 UPDATE: In-person training will resume on a limited basis on September 1. Restrictions to my in-person training found here: https://rebeccachart.wixsite.com/luckydogbt/single-post/2020/05/11/Opening-in-June---with-restrictions

I am a dog trainer with more than 15 years of experience working with all breeds of dog. I specialize in fear and anxiety in rescue dogs, but I serve all dogs with all unwanted behaviors. My service area includes locations within 30-40 minutes of Genoa City, Wis. That includes municipalities in Kenosha, Walworth, McHenry counties as well as some of the edges of Waukesha, Racine and Lake counties.

I help dogs and empower people. Maybe you have an excessive barker or a misbehaving jumper. Or maybe your dog shows signs of aggression toward other dogs or guards its food. I can help with these things and help you understand your dog!

I have 5 years of formal education training and behavior consultation through classes offered by the CCPDT, ADPT, Dr. Patricia McConnell, Dr. Ian Dunbar, and The Victoria Stillwell Academy, and Susan Garrett, among others. I am working toward a certification.
