I think dogs, just like kids, are a reflection not only of our behaviors and actions, but of our happiness. If you are happy and relaxed, your dogs will be too. #dogtraining #dogs #dogtrainer #fypシ゚viralシ #fypシ゚
Henigan here has been one of my clients at the Daycare I work at. He comes from a really bad past, his previous owners burned his one ear off and poured acid on his back. The new owners he was placed with are amazing people and have adopted him. He comes to daycare twice a week. He is the sweetest boy you could meet, he just has a lot of energy with a very high drive and never had proper socialization around dogs or humans. Lots of jumping, barking in dogs faces trying to initiate play, a little mouthy, etc…. I’ve worked really hard to help him be successful in a daycare environment and at home. His parents are so proud of him and the progress he has made over these past 5 weeks as am I! They can take him out in public now, even to dog parks. Helping dogs become successful in the environments they are thrown in is a gift in itself. 🖤
Confidence building
Hey there guys I’m Kathleen! Training is my passion and purpose. I figured I’d introduce myself by showing a video of me working with my personal dog who struggles with Fear Reactivity. When Jynx was a puppy, I worked at a different daycare facility. While he was going through fear periods some people who weren’t as knowledgeable on dog behavior used to scare him because they thought it was funny. (I did end up leaving that daycare shortly after) but it made him fear reactive towards people. He doesn’t lunge just barks and growls with low grumbles however as a lab it’s not like his breed to be this way. We do confidence building work to navigate him through this. Have strangers everywhere we go toss him treats from a distance so he starts to see people as a good thing not a bad thing. The great thing about dogs is they learn through association, so being able to change the perspective of a dog can be a challenge but can be done with the right training. It’s great to be apart of this team, and looking forward to working with you all and showing you what KCA is all about! #reactivitytraining #dogtraining #labradorretriever
Socializing at the Somerset Humane Society
I would be lying if I said some days aren’t hard driving away from the shelter. New dogs come in with heartbreaking stories. Panda was no different. He came in with a past but we’ve watched him slowly come out of his shell. Today I was close to tears watching him run around with such happiness and excitement. We socialized him with another dog for the first time and he was so incredibly happy. Panda you are so very sweet and someone will be so lucky to love you! ❤️ Somerset Humane Society #dogtraining #SocializationTraining #friendshipgoals
