Training your dog also means getting brutally honest with yourself regarding your own behavior. If you really believe“that’s just the way my dog is” then you are not only limiting your dog- but you’re limiting yourself in many ways, too. An untrained dog impacts your life in so many more ways than you might realize. Instead of settling- why not at least help your dog become the best they can be?

As a professional dog trainer and the owner/handler of a therapy dog, it is important that I continue to learn and grow also. In the past several months, I enjoyed taking two professional development courses on Animal-Assisted Therapy.

Is your dog reactive?
“To assess a dog for reactivity, observe its body language, such as stiffening, staring, and raised hackles, when it encounters triggers like other dogs or people. You should also note its vocalizations and physical actions, such as barking, growling, lunging, or trying to escape. Finally, consider the context, such as whether the behavior occurs more intensely on a leash or behind a barrier, and whether the dog can easily disengage and calm down afterwards.”

Willie was really impressive tonight in training. We focused on canine socialization, Watch, Place, Stay, and Leave-It commands. His hard work and practice is paying off thanks to the dedication of his mom. Great work! 🐾

I want to take a minute and speak from the heart. I love training dogs and their owners. I like being a part of the positive changes that take place in a dog’s behavior and in the bond the owner shares with their dog.

My life has always been about making the world a better place for all to live, including dogs. There is nothing like the love between a dog and its owner, just ask Rocky.

I also enjoy getting to know the dog and owner during the course of training. I’m grateful for the trust they put in me as a trainer and their desire to improve the dog’s quality of life.

When training comes to an end, it is hard for me. Over the duration of the training sessions, I give and pour myself into the training process, not only because of my personal sense of integrity, but because I know how much it means to the dog’s owner.

To me, they are more than just clients. They are fellow dog lovers and friends. I am devoted to what I do, and will make personal sacrifices to help another through training. I often feel a great sense of accomplishment and hope that the owner is satisfied with the outcome of training.

After training, I frequently think about the dog and owner and wonder how they are doing. Is the dog still doing well? Can the dog still perform what was taught in training on a high level? Is the owner being consistent and practicing with the dog on a regular basis?

I miss them both. I’m grateful that I had the honor to work with them as their trainer. I wish them the best and wonder if I will ever hear from them again.

I am more than a trainer. I am a human being - with feelings and a heart. I care not only about the training I do, but most importantly, about the people and dogs that I train. That’s who I am and why I train dogs and their owners.
