For two years (most of her life) Georgia hasn’t been able to walk past another dog without barking, lunging, and pulling her owner on the leash. Today we worked at the park and had the help of Luna to work on calming Georgia down around other dogs and people. After only a few short minutes Georgia was able to happily walk past Luna and ignore the other walkers on the path.
Happy 9th Birthday Luna ❤️🎂
9 years of being my work partner and best friend.
Meli had her first Behavioral Modification session today. As you can see in the beginning of the video Meli is pulling on the leash and barking non stop. This pulling and barking would last their entire walk, making the walks miserable.
The second video is Meli after just one training session. If you’re not enjoying your walks with your dogs then you should give me a call.
Georgia is a 2 year old border collie mix who her owners rescued from a high kill shelter around 10 months of age. For the last year Georgia has not been able to meet a new human, due to her owners fear that she may bite someone.
Last week I had a consultation with Georgia and her owner, where I discovered that Georgia wasn’t “aggressive”, she was extremely fearful.
For the last year Georgia had to be crated or boarded when anyone would come to the house to ensure she wouldn’t bite someone. Walks around her allotment were miserable for her owners, every person that walked within eyesight would cause Georgia to pull, bark, and lunge on her leash.
Today was Georgia’s very first Behavioral Modification training session to help build her confidence, correct her unwanted behaviors, and give her a better quality of life.
Maximus had his first outdoor training session yesterday.

Spotty is a 4 year old Australian Cattle Dog who had her first training session today.
During our weeks of training we will be working on reactivity, leash manners, jumping/excitability, introduction to cats, and basic obedience.
Lulu had her third on leash training session tonight. She loves working with her “big brother”.
Took advantage of the beautiful weather to work on Rocky’s off leash training. As you can see, he is doing amazing!
Today Zeus is learning how to properly socialize with other dogs. He is still nervous due to being extremely insecure, but he’s making great progress.
