SURPRISE! A small dog 🤩

Meet Coney! 🩷 this little lady just celebrated her birthday, and we are trying to help her feel better about having people and/or dogs in her immediate environment.

This tiny gal has a LOT to say when she is overwhelmed, and rightfully so! She is barking to tell things to stay away! Much like humans use forms of communication to say no thanks, or opt out of situations.

Our goal is to help her realize she has control of where she goes (no need to move *toward* the scary thing) and that humans can be predictable (low pressure, low stress because we are going to pretend we don’t even see you girlie).

💡I’ve had some really great conversations with Coneys team about navigating many different scenarios, and I’m excited to watch her progress through our training plan!

‼️CLIENTS: watch your emails….there will be lesson deals for the upcoming & 💌🐾

Say hello to Buddy! 😇

This very sweet, very energetic, boy was enrolled in training to help him work through some typical behaviors: jumping, over-excitement, off-leash skills, and some separation anxiety!

While I don’t work with separation anxiety, I am thrilled to provide resources to clients for support through my colleagues. Buddys family is currently using the workbook for this issue to help him feel better about being alone! 🤓

Why don’t I work with separation anxiety? It’s just not my wheelhouse…just like I have colleagues who don’t work with aggression or bite cases. As I said to on our podcast chat…give me a dog that wants to bite me over a dog that panics being left alone 🤣

Because of his fear of being left alone, Buddy needs to be along for the ride to family events…THIS is where I’m helpful again: Meet & Greets! 🐕‍🦺🦮

Here we have two different dogs, learning how to navigate being around each other in a way that they feel safe and relaxed. Buddy rocked his meet and greet, and we can at least navigate the upcoming holidays while we still tackle his alone time behind the scenes.

Yesterday at my session with Cody & mom..our guy found the longest stick and was just SO proud. 🤩

His mom and I laughed and laughed at his chin up, prancing swagger all the way home. She said, “this is why I love dogs. The smallest thing can bring them so much joy”

It’s a great reminder to us humans. Appreciate & celebrate even the small things in daily life.

Thanks, Cody 🧡

Hiiiii Honey 😍🍯

Our best girl who comes from Livingston County Animal Shelter is working really hard on embracing calm and using her nose when on walks! I always love lessons because I can provide real time advice on adjustments that can completely transform a guardian & dog team…and their subsequent experience in the world together.

Get out with your dog every day! Even 5 minutes can be enough to work toward your goals.

It’s been a really fun season adding so many new faces to the training roster. 🤍

This is Cloud! ☁️ she’s a beautiful Samoyed puppy that is learning the ropes of family life which includes not using the house as her bathroom 🙃

Private lessons are so helpful for tackling issues specific to your dog, your lifestyle, your home set up, and your goals. Not only do you get in-person instruction, but lessons come with detailed notes sent by email so you can always stay on track with your “homework” 📄 (I’m typing and sending notes as I post this!) along with ongoing support outside of lessons.

💡Lessons can be virtual, in-person, or hybrid if you are out of my travel range!

✔️multi-certified & insured
✔️over 13 years in the field
✔️recommended by veterinarians & veterinary behaviorists
✔️specialist in fear, anxiety, aggression & dogs from shelter & rescue

Spent the afternoon with my good friend & colleague Abbie .confident.canines at one of her volunteer spots 🦊

Her fox friends are absolutely fascinating, and I learned SO much about their behavior. 🤓

My latest posts have been my favorite shepherd ladies….but I’m not mad about it 😍

This post is to highlight that we really really really need to take time to invest in our dog’s emotional bank account. My girl Jewel and I have been working together for years and almost all of our time is exclusively spent on helping her navigate feeling overwhelmed with the world around her (BIG BARKS).

These days she is doing SO well in our sessions…but as someone who has dedicated my brain to the world of dog brains…I know and understand that my very existence predicts stress for her.

I arrive=headed outdoors to seeing the spooky things. Regardless of the snacks. Regardless of my kindness. I predict spooky experiences.

So today, we spent our lesson time re-investing in our *team* bank. We played hide & seek, did fun new behaviors like “middle”, got silly and did tricks, played our muzzle games without wearing it, and then ended our time with some really nice ear & neck scratches 🤍

Because we must take time to remember that the other end of our leash is a breathing, sentient, intelligent, and emotional being…and keeping that relationship strong & FUN is critical for a training journey.

Love you JUJU BEAN!
