Looking for Italian Greyhound breeder referrals (service dog potential)
TIA

‼️Update on my schedule‼️

My training availability for the McAllen, TX area will stop June 14 and will start back up again in September.

We are well into Dock Diving Season in San Marcos, TX and then I’ll be training out of the country before school starts up.

Don’t forget:

“Every opportunity is a training opportunity with your doggo…always set your dog up for success☝🏻”

🙏

Why won’t my dog listen to me???
Well, how valuable are you to your dog?
Start practicing at an early age to make your life easier later☝🏻Small, short sessions with your pup!

Using another canine to help puppies learn is invaluable!

If there is one thing I have learned over the years working with family pets and working dogs…is how crucial puppy imprinting is!

You can start puppies very early…the right way☝🏻and make a world of difference.

The infamous “Frenchie”!
*
Tip 1….this dog is the master of cuteness and therefore becomes the master of manipulation. He/she will train you so fast you won’t know what hit you!
*
Tip 2…they can move at the speed of light when they want to! Learn how to get this dog to stay in one spot before 6 months of age!
*
Tip 3…they are tenacious little buggers ☝🏻The first 100 “no’s” mean absolutely nothing to the French Bulldog so just don’t use that word until you get a full on education on how to communicate with this dog! ☝🏻
*
Tip 4…Good luck🍀! Kidding….reach out to your local trainer to help you get on top of training before your adorable puppy trains you to go outside! Ha!

Update: Roo has found her new family and will begin training with them in the next couple weeks. 🙏💕

This happy puppy was so lucky to have a foster send her to training for a better chance of being adopted. She is in her second week of training, and we are looking for her new family to come and start learning with her!

Roo (temporary name) is approximately 6 months old and picking up training quick! She is great with people and great with other dogs! She comes with free training!! Please share her on your pages 🙏

Bravo to the dog owners that recognize the importance of training puppies at a young age BEFORE they develop problems! Shadow’s owners know exactly what they want in their pet and they are open to the learning process as her humans👊🏻💥

Fact:☝🏻Most dogs enter the shelter around the age of 1yr because that is the time that dogs are exploring and testing boundaries, just like children. If you can start imprinting your puppy with good manners right from the beginning when they are like sponges, then you have already given your dog the best chance at being your best pet!

Hopefully this can help another handler with their dog…

This is Bella, she is a wonderful pet! She has had a traumatic experience simply from an unfortunate innocent at the park and has associated the park with bad things. Us as handlers can help our dogs move through these traumas with a proper plan. Please seek the help of a professional trainer to ensure you move forward with your dog rather than backward.

Bella started out today with fearful body language that says HELP ME. She was so stressed she wouldn’t take food (she looooves food) and was pulling on the leash to get out of there. After a few walks of adding these following components, she was taking food, and thinking clearer. I took this photo to show the “relaxed” Bella chillin’ with the villain behind her.

Here are the components we added this morning…

1. Proper equipment
2. Handler confidence
3. Use of another confident canine
4. Physical exercise at the park that is traumatic

But the recovery does not stop here. Bella is going to swim today to drain the rest of her daily physical energy, so we can then target the mental exercise☝🏻

Have questions about what I’m doing? Let me know💪🏻
