Sit Pretty
I recorded three videos without audio 🙄
Fun when equipment doesn’t beep to let you know it’s dying. 🤷🏽♀️
Please remember you should not do this trick shortly after your dog has a meal, if they have back issues, and potentially not as long if it’s a very deep or barrel-chested dog.
Might be a bit too tough on them physically. Soooo just use that sense that doesn’t seem so common these days 👌🏼

Hide and Seek Recall
This might be one of the best ways to practice recall.
We do this pretty often because all of us enjoy it a lot 🤣 This is play, relationship-building, bond-building, trust-building, and to toss in an itty bitty bit of science: builds a dopamine response for the behavior or recall.
Love these kids.

Out & Tug
Please be careful how you tug with your dog. It is pretty easy to hurt them unintentionally, so generally stay low to the ground and do slow back and forth pulls. If you’re standing and pulling directly up, or fast thrashing, you could injure their neck. As always, have fun!!

Luring Details for Weave
Is this style of video helpful?
I didn’t realize how complicated it can be until I tried slowing this weave behavior down.
I was very entertained trying to slow it down with Mr Let’s GOOOOO…but I also enjoyed this last video I recorded with him ❤️

Each being is an individual.
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed-it just changes forms
I’ve learned this firsthand. And continue to learn it. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to live a full life-even if that meant going through difficult things. But I wanted to go through as much as I could so I would learn and be able to live the most fulfilled and overflowing life possible. My 11+ year old dog Rain was often very anxious and would stare at me like I never gave her attention (even after hours of doing things together). I had a big realization that I had actually not experienced as much “undivided attention” from my father-as a developing little mind should have. And he wasn’t a bad dad by any means. There were just 8 of us and he had a lot of things he was going through himself. Yet the result in me was still the idea of that deep connection was not necessary…even though that may be THE most important thing to embody unconditional love. What I had been doing with my dog was simply checking the boxes: playtime, walks, feeding, training-but I wasn’t feeling the connection or being truly present…and I believe she sensed that.I believe a lot of dogs can sense this. The coolest thing though, immediately after I had that realization, Rain got up from where she was (away from me), and laid down much closer. And over the next couple of weeks I intentionally put time aside to feel that connection within me, and simply appreciate how much I love her.…is she suddenly not anxious? Nope. But she is significantly more relaxed overall. She seems more peaceful. And I feel more gratitude for this incredible being who has been with me through so much. I think this is replicable. I think we can sense the truth in this. Let me know your thoughts. This is just the first step ❤️....#unconditionallove #dog #authentic #life #drive #energy #healing #growth #alignment #letsgo #whosready #mirror #dogsasmirrors #alignedk9
Fading the lure for walking into heel with board and train Rosie.
This pup was so smart, sweet, cuddly, and the perfect level of energy. It was such a pleasure having her work with me and I think she enjoyed it as much as I did.
As trainers, we often get a lot of dogs with pretty big struggles (understandably), so when we get a dog that loves what we do just as much as we do, it’s just leaves us all around feeling beyond happy.
I love what I do even with challenging dogs. Often times, especially with challenging dogs.
But it’s super nice to have things mixed up once in a while 😊

Storm’s board and train
Dogs should enjoy their lives-but they should be safe and happy while doing so too! Each of my board and trains are tailored specifically to individual dog’s needs and what would best have them living their fullest most fulfilled lives. These next couple months tend to be the busiest, and I take a limited number to ensure top-quality training and fulfillment!
