Even though it’s Saturday we are still out here working! 2 mile run and a 2 mile walk after. Thank you Taylor Clark for coming out with min and mav and spending your morning with us!
Mack’s pack has also created a tik tok account so follow us at MacksPack_dogtraining113 to keep up on all the fun!
A day late but here’s a recap of Tuesday’s social hour!
I absolutely love all these dogs and they make my job so fun! Ruckus has just recently started social hour, this would be his 3rd day and look how far he’s come! In such a short time he’s gained so much confidence and has learned to be a fun/positive member of the pack!
Here’s a quick/ fun little video of our Wednesday social hour group from this week! I figured instead of making a normal post this would be fun!
During these cold winter days it can be super hard to get outside. I had a training session with Gus and Rosie’s owner to show some fun and effective ways to work the dogs inside! The main thing I went over was leash work inside… something as simple as walking on leash inside or teaching new skills while on leash can help drain their energy while you’re stuck inside.
In the video Rosie was learning the command “stand”. This is a fun little trick you can add to your tool box while you and your dogs are bored inside. This skill can help in so many different ways, For example at the groomers sometimes they need your dog to stand so teaching your dog to do this simple task could help better their experience and the groomers job.
Shoot me a text or call if you are interested in any services or have any questions 🐾
Stay warm ❄️
I was going through videos from some of my training sessions this summer and I found this beautiful video!
Echo, Bentley and I were out playing at the park when some workers came in their truck and van. The truck was very loud and there were a few people working around the area. Even though echo is skidish of these loud trucks and Bentley is nervous around new people they both did a great job trusting me to handle the situation. We sat and peacefully watched the workers do their job as we worked through a little bit of anxiety before we got back to playing.
If your dog(s) is fearful, reactive, overly excited etc call me today to get a game plan In place so you and your companion(s) can live your best and happiest life.
Happy new year everyone!!
With all the chaos and commotion during the holidays it’s extremely important to maintain your dog(s) training. Here’s Rosie and her owner putting in an hour of work with me even though it’s been a crazy couple of weeks! Rosie has a lot of go go go to her, so seeing her match her owners speed while walking on leash was amazing.
If your dog(s) is taking you for a walk or your walk simply isn’t fulfilling to both you and your dog(s) give me a call or text at 651-357-7631 so we can get you and your furry companion on the right path!
Ruben killed it on our structured walk today! This little guy is learning to slow down his brain, one of the ways we are doing that is by having him walk in a heel. It takes a lot of mind work for a dog to stay at a consistent pace and leave all the distractions behind. On our walk today we came across multiple dogs and people, but Ruben kept his focus on me and continued right on by like the rockstar he is!
If your dog(s) are struggling with anything such as basics, reactivity, exietment, leash walking etc please reach out to see how I can help!
We are only one howl away 🐾🐕
Here’s another training post for your feed!
I worked with Mr Ruben again this week and let’s just say it’s always a joy to see this spunky little guy! The goal for Ruben is to trust him to have off leash freedom and so far he’s shown AMAZING progress! We sat outside of his owners shop and watched all the traffic go by (cars, humans, dogs etc) and everytime there was something interesting he always redirected his focus back onto me! When you are the handler of a dog it’s important they know that you are most important in that time.
Way to go Ruben!!

Wednesday social hour group 🐶🎉
Dixie, Maisy, Hunter and I having some fun after a successful training session with the pack! Remember it is okay to make training fun!
There are spots available for training so reach out to get on the schedule!
Mack’s pack officially has tik tok so give us a follow @Mackspack_dogtraining113! Today I got the privilege to meet Mr Ruben. We worked on Recall and calmness and he did an amazing job picking up what I was putting down. Rubens family wants him to be able to have off leash freedom but sometimes Ruben gets a little to excited/distracted. One of the main tools I use for recall and off leash training is my nifty 50ft long line and I think it’s safe to say he loved getting a taste of off leash freedom!
If you are interested in training reach out to hear more about the services I offer. I have years of experience with many different breeds and tempers.
Is your dog reactive on leash?
Is your dog struggling with leash reactivity?
This is my personal dog Bentley, he is a 1 year old German shepherd husky mix. A high drive, high energy level working dog who struggles with leash reactivity. In this video you see him on alert watching the other off leash dogs. It’s not that Bentley is aggressive and doesn’t like dogs it’s actually the complete opposite he LOVES dogs so much sometimes the excitement creates an explosion with him. This is raw footage of me using my tools and helping my dog work through his frustrations without using negative behaviors.
If you have a dog or know anyone who has a dog that’s dealing with reactivity please reach out to hear how I can help. Having a reactive dog can come with so many emotions but it’s important to remember it CAN get better with some work and bonding.
Here’s my two personal dogs off leash enjoying this beautiful weather 🐾
Pack walks are the best 🐶🐾
This is George and let’s just say he doesn’t feel the best about people touching his feet… it makes him uncomfortable, but his nails needed to be clipped. I wanted to share this clip because at the end you see him finally relax and let me clip his nails, he did this because as you see in the beginning of the video I took my time and worked him through the fear of me touching his feet. It’s very important you take your time and help work your dog through things they have a fear of otherwise that fear will never go away.
If you and your dog are struggling with anything at all feel free to shoot out a message or give me a call to chat about what services would be best for you and your pup!
Thank you 🐶
Wednesday daycare group celebrating my birthday and Mr Tegs birthday a few days early!!! These guys have worked so hard on building friendships and new skills so they got rewarded with a puppy party and we all know what comes with a party…. PUP CUPS!!! This was also a great impulse challenge for some of the dogs as they can’t just go up and steal ice cream from another dog, but it’s safe to say they all did great and gave each other the space and respect others deserve 💗🐶
Thanks to the pack for another wonderful day of daycare!
Muzzle conditioning!!
Miss Daisy will always be such a special dog to me, I started coming over to walk Daisy when she around 7 months old maybe a little older. She has always been around dogs but ever since she got older she has gained a little more fear with big packs of dogs. muzzles are a very useful tool, and it doesn’t mean your dog is “bad” if they have to wear one! Muzzle conditioning has helped Daisy get more freedom when in a big pack, and it also gives her something else to focus on instead of what she’s scared of. Way to go daisy girl your family and I are very proud 💗

What a great day for training! after a while of playing at the dog park and getting the crazies out we sat here for a while and CALMLY watched all sorts of traffic go by. This can help you teach your dog to not be so overly excited or even scared of life around them. It’s always important to teach your dog to be calm and observe in these types of environments!
If you or anyone you know is struggling with your dog don’t hesitate to reach out! Our goal is to not only teach your dogs but we want to teach you, the owners how to be confident and successful with your furry friends 🐶
Going into pet friendly stores bring so many different training opportunities! Sometimes I loose leash walk dogs in the store but what happens when there’s another dog or person coming down the row? I put them in a heel! It’s important for your dog to have a good heel command especially if you bring your dog out in public!
If you struggle with leash walking or anything else with your furry friend don’t hesitate to reach out for more information on training!
