Becca - Behavior Consultant & Trainer based in Kenosha Co. Supporting member of IAABC I take a holistic approach to dog behavior.
(1)

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.

When we dip below zero, you can use straw to ease your dog's paws outside. Straw is warmer over snow and ice. And, it can be mulched in spring.

Local farmers near me sell it all year. Let me know if you need a source!

This is Newton. He is as smart as his name suggests. He is a 10 month old English setter who is in need of some structure.

He has been through some basic puppy training and has been socialized with other dogs, but he is in need of learning how to walk nicely on leash, stop counter surfing, using his nose and mouth for good, and in general, just being a well-behaved dog.

We have some work to do, but with the proper instruction and practice, he's going to be a great dog!

Most of today's dog breeds have only been here 100-125 years.

If you have room to foster, help is needed!! 💗

In just the last four days, MADACC has taken in 53 dogs, bringing the total number of dogs in our care to 146. Every single kennel is full. As the animal control facility for Milwaukee County, we cannot turn away stray animals—no matter how full we are. This means splitting kennels in half to accommodate more dogs.

How can you help?
• Share our posts to spread the word.
• Let others know that MADACC is the first place to check if they lose their pet.
• Consider fostering, volunteering, or adopting to help us create space and save lives.

Most importantly, MADACC’s mission is to reunite animals with their loving families. Together, we can make that happen.

How to change direction with your dog when you're on a walk. Use a little light leash pressure to tell your dog which direction you want to go.

Could your dog's behavior be a sign of illness? 🐾

With so many dogs🐶 and cats🐱 struggling with behavior issues, many pet parents turn to behavior medications.💊 However, underlying physical health problems, like pain or illness, can contribute to these issues.

Studies show that up to 83% of dogs referred to veterinary behaviorists have an undiagnosed physical issue. Research found that 73% of dogs with excessive licking behavior had an underlying GI disease, and dogs with atopic dermatitis are more likely to have behavior problems. And it’s not just dogs — research has shown that 38% of cats seen by a behaviorist for urine marking also had a physical problem.

This highlights an important point: behavior issues in pets are often more complex than we realize.

Today, on a Saturday edition of the Inside Scoop we're tackling this crucial topic with Dr. Lisa Radosta, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist. In this episode we're discussing the often-misunderstood world of behavior medications and answering key questions like:

🐶 How do you know if your pet needs medication for behavioral issues?

💊 When should you reach for meds, supplements, or diet changes?

📆 What risks should you consider when using behavior meds long-term?

🌿 How effective are supplements for managing behavior problems?

Tune in today at 12pm EST to find out the potential benefits of behavior meds or questioning whether they’re the right choice for your pet. We’ll also cover the complex factors that influence behavior, from genetics to life experiences, and how they intersect with treatment options.

Comment SCOOPERS and I'll message you the link to join Inside Scoop, a Planet Paws monthly subscription group. All live podcasts are recorded and available to watch later. You’ll also be able to watch over 5 years of content including: past live podcasts, interviews, ebook downloads, and more!

January is a quiet month for in person training. So I'll help educate here until it gets warmer outside.
😁

If you've got some time at home, make some homemade, healthy treats for your pups.

Testing sight reactivity with a stuffed dog.

Testing sight reactivity

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 was learning agility

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!

Cooper learning "touch"

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!

Using stairs

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.
