Consistency in your routine and puppy training = freedom as an adult.
Make it fun for your dogs, and for yourself!
Life and your dogs life is too short not to enjoy 85% of their life off leash. 🐾

This is what you achieve and can do with your dog when you implement structure and consistency with your doggies. 🐕 certificated good girl Emma D. 💌

Structured playtime, what does that look like for you and your doggies in your life at home? 👇🏼
Two “food aggressive” dogs, overcoming their fears and learning to trust eating beside each other.
Prior experiences with eating side by side, were growling at each other and physically attacking the gate.
Make no mistake, a TON more repetition needs to be done post training program to really drive home the training and make it a conditioned habit.
Well, how did we get here? Consistency. Every day. With time.

Duncan Pompeii and his momma have such an incredible dynamic together. 💕 I cannot believe Duncan will be FOUR years old in just 9 weeks!! Where has the time gone?!
Duncan was the first dog I ever truly trained when he was just a giant six month old bulldozer puppy.
At the time of meeting puppy Duncan Pompeii, and his handicapped big sis aka alpha girly of my pack, Minnie Peaches, I was only watching a handful of my pups for boarding monthly.
Once I chose to start watching Duncan and Minnie for daycare M-F—I went from offering boarding only, to 7 days a week offering boarding + daycare + walks + occasionally house sitting + dove head first into training Duncan, and all of the dogs that joined the daycare squad.
I figured— If they were going to be over every day, I wanted to make a safe, loving, and learning space of structure and pure joy for my doggies.
We developed our daily routine of exercise (walks and play), discipline, and affection and stayed consistent. In no time Duncan was walking like you see in this video above I took a few weeks ago.
In my beginning years of getting into training I learned SO MUCH about these incredible animals.
I was at the beginning of my learning, so I trained Duncan totally for free during daycare hours with my old soul assistants, golden retriever Isabel, and bull dog Minnie Peaches, by my side teaching Duncan how to be a mature dog.
Meeting handicapped Minnie Peaches and puppy Duncan Pompeii, with our aging senior girly Isabel all together and caring for them 250+ days a year, totally changed my life.💓
These three were my OG daycare pack and the start of a new chapter.
With divinely timed health issues- It was this time in my life where my heart tugged at me for a shift. I instinctively turned my second job into my main career. 7 days a week 10-16 hours a day with my pack.
Beyond training, I began learning more about holistic dog & human health. I started REALLY learning training deeper on my own beyond t
The importance of giving your dogs places to pee. Why do you think it’s important?
You do not want your dog to smell ZERO on your walks, it’s how they explore the world and can know where they are. Imagine if us humans went for a walk blindfolded?
BUT giving a tiny bit of smelling at the right times does not mean give free range to smell everything, anytime they want, controlling and dominating the walk with their noses and acting as the leader.
Reminder, you are the pack leader and choose these things!
You do not want to allow your dog to obsessively smell the ground to the point where they are not walking with their eyes up, they are not engaged with you, or your 40 minute walk takes 80 minutes because of all the stopping.
Beyond obsessive smelling being a bad habit for your dog, you’ve got a structured time to get to work in the morning and are on a human schedule.
So gauge where you are at right now. Does your dog do a healthy amount of smelling on your walks, or obsessively smells?
What you allow will continue, what you correct will continue to correct.
Are you having trouble here, if so, what have you tried implementing to correct?

Speaking to a dogs ears happens only after tons of reps have been done training the higher sensitive senses.
1) Nose 2) eyes 3) then ears. Touch is 1A.
Humans place the senses of eyes and ears ahead of smell and touch in our style of human communication.
And here is where many pet parents run into their first puppy communication issues by treating our dogs the same way in communication as another human.
Pet parents, you are not alone in this common problem.
There’s lots of free information on the internet to train your dog on your own.
If you’re feeling confused and don’t know where to start, want a clear plan and guidance from a professional, or your self training isn’t working the way you hoped for it to, reach out via email at [email protected] .
My goal is to set you up with a foundation and all the tools you need to achieve a solid relationship, and a balanced dog.
I provide you ongoing support after training has concluded for your ever growing puppies life, and to ensure you as the parent feel confident in your communication and execution as the leader.
You can do this pet parents! 🐾💓
Beau — look at me, stay, come, heal. Walking the crosswalk like a big puppy boy!
IMPORTANT! This is not a real street! It’s a “street” in a parking lot, dead end area.
Do not allow your dogs to be off leash in your neighborhood or at parks that restrict off leash. It is illegal and you can be ticketed, and dangerous for your still curious and growing puppy.
Consult with a professional how to work with your dog off leash, and proceed in stages.

Update on Beau going to his “place.” He’s now at an A+ in this request. He will hold his place here until I give him next request, or tell him, “you’re free!”
