Dogs aren't always perfect but they're always perfect for us. 🎀πŸ”₯​​​​​​​​​
I believe dogs come to us as angels and guides, helping to fulfill our karma during certain chapters of life. I have clients who claimed they adopted "the wrong dog", only to find out that dog taught them lessons no other dog (or person) ever could have. Lessons in patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. Dogs are a piece of our soul contract with the universe.

My calling to help these earth-angels and their families is a gift from the most high. I'm grateful every single day. πŸ’―πŸ™πŸΎβœ¨

Excessive barking is one of the most common issues I see with my clients. Luckily, there's an easy solution! Remember, attention is a reward. So if your dog barks and you acknowledge them, what they're learning is "barking works!" Instead, ignore the barking entirely and reward them when they stop. Now they're learning "silence works!" I recommend getting as many friends as possible to come over and practice this with your dog. The more humans show them consistency with this behavior, the more they'll understand it's a universal request. ​​​​​​​​​

Love them all, big or small! A lot of people ask me what's the first thing I teach as a dog trainer. πŸ’‘The answer may surprise you. It's how to choose the right dog for your family! ​​​​​​​​​
Dogs are all amazing, and each breed was built for a different purpose. If you live in a small space and prefer watching TV to running or hiking, a Border Collie may not be the best choice. If you live on a farm and need a dog to help you herd animals, that cute little chihuahua might be a great friend, but probably won't get the job done! 🀣 Happiness really does come in all sizes; You just have to find the right fit! ❀️

It's the oldest question in dog history: Can you teach an old dog new tricks? The answer... YES! Just like humans, dogs may become more set in their ways as they age, but they're still perfectly capable of learning and doing new things. In fact, it's good for them! ​​​​​​​​​
Did you know:

-John Glenn Went to Space, at Age 77
-Teiichi Igarashi Climbed Mt. Fuji, at Age 100
-Diana Nyad Swam from Cuba to Florida, at Age 64
-Peter Roget Invented the Thesaurus, at Age 73
-Nelson Mandela Was Elected President of South Africa, at Age 75

If they can achieve great things later in life, so can our dogs! πŸ₯‡

"Focus" is one of the first command I teach clients. Something as simple as getting your dog to look at you can come in handy in so many instances. When your dog is distracted on a walk, when they're approaching a new person, before beginning a new activity, or just as a mental exercise to stay connected to you. "Focus" doesn't mean sit, it just means "look at me." But if they do decide to sit, give them an extra treat! ​​​​​​​​​

Everyone wants their dog to interact well with humans, but what about teaching humans to interact well with our dogs? ​​​​​​​​​
I show my clients how to respectfully stop excited humans from reaching for their dog, squealing at their dog, and all the natural, well-intentioned human tendencies we have when we see a cute animal. An innocent, excited yell may seem harmless to us, but can actually be stressful and scary for a pup. Setting a boundary with strangers and teaching them how to approach your dog, you're not only helping your pet, you're helping the other person. Win-win!

It's natural to get frustrated with your pup sometimes. But there are simple tools you can use to stay calm. Remember- dogs cannot fight calmness! I teach a method called Gentle Training, but it doesn't involve being passive. There is strength in being stoic, confident, calm, and measured. Not only is an attitude of assertive calmness better for your mental and physical health, it's a language your dog will actually respect and understand.​​​​​​​​​

My #1 rule: NO breed discrimination! ❌ There is no such thing as a "bad" breed. Dogs, like people, have their own personalities. Some of the sweetest dogs I've worked with have been bully breeds. Some of the most aggressive have been fluffy toy breeds. Approaching a dog with preconceived notions is never a good idea. To assume any dog is "safe" can impact your safety. To assume any dog is "bad" can impact your happiness, and rob you of a beautiful experience with a great dog. When it comes to puppy personalities, it's a little bit up to God, and a lot up to treatment and training... just like us! ​​​​​​​​​

Our dogs go where the excitement is! (Don't we all?) Next time your dog won't do something, try making it a game, making it fun, or involving a reward!​​​​​​​​​

I love shopping at because of their wide variety of healthy pet products and knowledgable staff. ​​​​​​​​​
When it comes to our dogs' gut health, for constipation, diarrhea, and upset tummies, organic pumpkin is a must. πŸŽƒ I'm a fan of the brand. Not only is their pumpkin organic with no preservatives, the can itself is BPA free.

Necessary for or skin/coat, joints, and longevity: Salmon oil. 🐟 (I suggest the Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil). Omega 3s and Omega 6 fatty acids are excellent for our dogs. Not only do they help them shine on the outside, they help prevent many common illnesses and diseases. Simply sq**rt a couple pumps of salmon oil on top of your dog's food for one of their feedings. Such a simple addition can make such a big difference!

Free feeding (leaving your dog's food and water down all day) may seem like an easier solution to feeding, but it can actually lead to picky eating. It can also decrease the value of food, which can be a powerful tool in training. Instead, put your dog's food down for no more than 20 minutes, twice a day. (Three times a day for small puppies). It will make feeding time easier and more impactful in the long run.​​​​​​​​​

In dog training, the emphasis is often put on actions, like doing tricks & learning commands. But sometimes, the most important and challenging lesson for your dog is just how to stay still and be calm. I call this "museum training". It's great for all dogs, especially high-energy or reactive dogs. Sitting in one place may seem boring to you, particularly if you've been taught that dogs are only tired out by physical exercise. But trust me, for an excitable dog, learning to sit quietly can be as stimulating and exhausting as running a marathon! And, you get to chill. Win-win! πŸ˜›πŸ†β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹

Resource guarding- where dogs protect items like food, toys, or even humans, is a natural instinct rooted in survival. However, it can lead to issues if not addressed. Learn how to spot the signs, understand the triggers, and implement positive training techniques to manage and minimize resource guarding tendencies in your pup. πŸΆπŸ’‘ ​​​​​​​​​
