“Can I pet your dog?”
“He won’t bite me, all dogs love me!”
“Let him sniff my hand.”
“You have to be the alpha and correct that behavior.”

These are all of the scariest things people have said to me about my reactive dog.

One of the best things I have done with my reactive dog is trick training. Not just because it is fun for both of us. But also because it helps us keep strangers at bay. An overbearing stranger who wants to interact with your dog and doesn’t listen to instructions is a huge liability. By doing a little show-and-tell with tricks, everyone is happy and learning without touching!

What tricks does your dog know?

Having a disability makes life hard. Service dogs can help. But unfortunately being a service dog handler has its own set of issues. Facing things like access issues, being pestered by people, and having your dog distracted happen every single day for service dog teams.

Here is a little bit of education on service dogs! What is something you learned about them?

💚If you know one thing about me, it is that I am a little dog lover for life. No bad vibes seeing a happy small dog living her best life in her golden years!💚

Many of you know my best little helper, Ariel. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with IVDD after she was suddenly unable to walk and collapsing. Unfortunately, it has been a big hit to her health. We have been doing lots of trials and changes with pain medication, which is thankfully working.

As our dogs get older, it’s important to prioritize pain management to keep them comfortable. However, enrichment and stimulation shouldn’t be sacrificed. So we had to break out the stroller (that she previously used when she was first dealing with arthritis) for walks. Her favorite part about it is that we cover much more ground without causing her pain, she gets to get out and walk when she wants, and she also gets to smell EVERYTHING from the comfort of her royal carriage.

What types of changes have you made to your senior’s life to prioritize their physical comfort and mental enrichment? I would love to hear them!

In my house, we are big fans. The biggest ones may be the animals. My dog is very sensitive to sounds and reactive. Playing classical music is extremely helpful for him and helps him get rest during the day.

As a dog trainer I am constantly giving my clients recommendations on enrichment. Music is an extremely powerful one that is easy to do. And it provides us with enjoyment too!

Thank you so much to West-Mec students and staff for welcoming me as a guest speaker. It was such an honor and privilege to be able to present on Animal Behavior Consulting and Training & Cooperative Care to future Veterinary Technicians.

Cooperative care is something that I have lots of experience training. I would also say that it is one of the top experiences that helped me grow as a trainer and person. Patience is something that you only gain with time and practice- and working with animals gives you ample opportunities for that.

Working with under-socialized, handling sensitive, and fearful animals gave me the most valuable opportunities to grow as a person. As a trainer and behavior consultant I hope to help Vet Med employees to become more fear-free and behavior-savvy. When we are able to spend more time helping an animal to be an active and willing participant in their own care, we invest in our and their futures at the vet.

In the video I am showing the students a couple of techniques and tools that are commonly used in cooperative care training: muzzles and targets. Thank you to for letting me borrow your amazing boy, Ohtani, for some demonstrations. He was a great boy to work with 💚💚

Congratulations to Eileen and Jade on finishing up their behavior modification training!

I have had the pleasure of working with them (and the rest of the family) for several months now and have enjoyed seeing the progress they have made. Jade has been trying out some medication to see if it improves her behavior.

Here she is overlooking the dog park she used to enjoy. But after reaching social maturity she now says ‘no thank you!’

What’s your reactive dog’s biggest trigger? Dogs? People? Suspicious holiday decorations?

Congratulations to Worthy and Brooke on completing four weeks of Behavior Modification training!

I absolutely loved working with these two. Worthy is one of the funniest and smartest dogs I have met. She fell in love with my fake dog, Seamus. Most dogs catch on that the fake dog is fake within a few seconds of sniffing it. Worthy still thinks he is real four weeks later and wonders why he doesn’t play with her!

Congratulations to Fiya and her family on completing four Behavior Modification training sessions!

We were able to address concerns at home, incorporate enrichment into routine, learn about body language and behavior, practice skills for navigating public, and basic cues.

This family was so much fun to for me to work with! Bullies have become a favorite of mine to train after Fiya 🥹💚
