Despite popular misconceptions, dogs are not inherently stubborn.

So, why is your dog not listening? 👂

▪ Have you worked to generalize the behavior in different situations, environments, and with different levels of distractions?

▪ Do you have a history of positive learning together? It's important to build a positive relationship with your dog and ensure a strong reinforcement history.

▪ Does your dog experience big emotions that inhibit learning? Fear, anxiety, and stress can all make learning and retaining information harder.

▪ Is your dog potentially painful? Dogs may avoid performing certain cues if it causes them discomfort.

This is the majestic Simba. Simba's family chose Pittock Mansion for the session.

Simba's mom shared this about her beautiful girl.

1.) Simba is very loving and affectionate towards humans. We brought him into our family after one of our family members was recovering from a severe depressive episode. It was risky, as puppies can be a lot of work, but we quickly saw that Simba’s presence lighted up our household. We have never looked back since.
2.) Simba loves to go on adventures in around different parks in the area. He is definitely an explorer.
3.) Simba is very food motivated and loves to try new types of treats constantly, though we try hard to keep him to a healthy routine
