Here’s Obi! A 1 yr old Hound mix who alert barks at random noises and stimuli in and around the home and pulls hard when anticipating walks and movement toward the car. Educated owners on how to teach Obi impulse control and patience through repeated application of boundaries followed by praise and effective leash management. Obi slowed down significantly over time and the family has a template now to apply on walks as well!

Here’s Atticus! An 8 yr old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who has reactive tendencies around his owner and educating family on how to best manage him in the home and especially the yard when other dogs are passing by. Working on establishing better boundaries and work for him are also key to reducing his separation anxiety as well which likely contributes to his stress. Family now more in alignment with his needs to keep him and others safe.

Here’s Udon! A now 22 month old Mini Golden Doodle who is learning how to be separated from his owner when at various business locations, setting boundaries when off leash near his home and guiding him to be more comfortable in the car. He does have FOMO when both owners are away from him so giving him more opportunities to practice was the focus of our future sessions.

Here’s Hinata! A 9 mo old Cavapoo who is tiny, super sweet but barks to get what she wants. Educated owners on how to set consistent boundaries, teach her valuable skills and manage her arousal when seeing those she absolutely loves. This often leads to other unwanted behaviors since she knows how to push buttons and create games to amuse herself. I really enjoyed meeting her and the family and look forward to future lessons!

Here’s Frankie! A 1.5 yr old Doxie mix who has confidence issues especially around men as well as on walks with other people and dogs. He barks persistently and educated owner on how best to keep him safe and manage him on leash with time and patience. He relaxed significantly with a new approach and plan moving forward. I’m looking forward to giving this little guy greater support and leadership as he learns and thrives!

It’s been exactly 30 days post surgery for my dog Chewy and her recovery has been remarkable. She walks nearly her full duration, up hills, over obstacles and has even jogged at times with ease and chased the cats. I marvel at her ability to adapt as I continue to learn more about this cancer and ways to best support her. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and encouragement.
