Here’s Izzy! A 4 yr old Miniature Poodle who has been persistently barking for years both inside and outside the house. Teaching her owners how to meet her needs and change her unwanted behavior was significant to notice her amazing progress as they shifted their leadership approach and set consistent boundaries! Izzy so happy to be supported in the right way!!

Here’s Truffle! A now 24 week old Mini Golden Mountain Doodle who is really improving her potty routine, gaining more managed freedom, improving on separation time, better on leashed walks and lots of excellent socialization with other dogs and people without jumping! She’s really progressing well and will be taking her first road trip soon! Good girl!

Here’s Wiley! A 8.5 yr old Shepherd/Chow mix who has been more reactive lately on leash towards other dogs and educating owner how to manage access while providing support, education and leadership. He did so well and gave his owner more confidence and skills to handle more stimuli! What a great session!!

Here’s Riley! A 1+ year old rescue who was at the shelter for over a year until finally adopted to his forever home. Riley is shy, nervous and reluctant as I educated his owner how to introduce him to family/new visitors and pay attention to cues and ways to best listen and be patient. By session end, Riley was playing in the yard and laying next to me! What a sweet boy!!

Here’s Magnus (4) and Gracie (nearly 5)! Educated owners on how to best approach Magnus’ resistance and intolerance for walks away from his home and shift their focus towards event related excursions to satisfy his need to explore and travel! Magnus loves spending time with Gracie when they get a chance from time to time each month or more! What a pair 🥰

Here’s Alta! A 1yr old Red Heeler/Cattle dog who has a very high drive and sensitivity to other dogs in her neighborhood! She barks and lunges instantly so working to educate owner how to work within her tolerances as this was the first time I was also entering her home. She did so great and wiped out from all of the hard work. Everyone is learning to strengthen their relationship through intentional communication!

12/03/2025

Here’s George! A now 16 week old Goldendoodle who is getting better at potty training, crate and pen training. He is very chill most of the time, loves to observe, contemplate and use his senditive nose! Introducing new enrichment tools has given owners more ways to stimulate and decompress this little boy. What a joy to see his personality shine!

11/03/2025

Here’s Dragi! A deaf 2.75 yr old Dalmatian who is learning how to be calmer on leashed walks around other dogs, spend time in busy social environments (breweries) and also adjust to being the only dog now in the family. He is doing great and adding more support and awareness to manage his energy tolerance/sensitivities and greetings is best!

10/03/2025

Here’s Paddington! A 6 mo old Golden Mountain Doodle who made his first successful introduction to the off leash park and learned to manage new dogs on leash and make new friends. Educated owners on how to best observe, support and understand proper social and interactive behaviors. He did great and family encouraged by his positive progress!

Here’s Brooks! A 5 yr old Golden who has leash reactivity to certain dogs and an impeccable memory! Creating new walking opportunities in nearby quieter environments is supporting him much better and lowering his stress especially with cars too. He’s made so many improvements since we began training and working under his threshold has made walks so much more enjoyable!!

08/03/2025

Here’s Magdalene Mae! A beautiful 3 mo old Pitbull who is new to a family of cats and learning skills to manage her arousal and puppy biting as well as creating a good foundation for crate and potty training. Owners excited to implement new tools to set her up for expanded training and obedience. Looking forward to being a part of her progress and growth!

Here’s Ole! Now 18 weeks old, this chill Labrador is doing better on leash, gaining more freedom on the beach and loves engaging with other dogs and people. His favorite pastime is to watch the world go by and next work in higher situations of distraction. Love this boy!!

06/03/2025

Here’s Frankie! A 7 mo old Shepherd mix who has play biting tendencies in the home and on walks. She is also learning how to be more comfortable around new visitors as well as managing her reactions to other dogs on walks. Educating owners on how to support and expose Frankie under her threshold and maintain sound leadership for a stronger connection. She did great and is a wonderful family companion!

05/03/2025

Here’s Roy! A 2 yr old Golden who is noticeably improving in his leash reactions to other dogs as the leadership and management are also teaching him to stay calm and relaxed! Roy’s reaction when we started was instant and highly aroused but now gaining more focus and consistent direction from his owner. What a good boy!!

04/03/2025

Here’s Chewie! A 9 month old German Shepherd who is territorial at times inside her home with men and educating her owner of ways to improve their communication and connection for greater obedience. She thrived when given a clear job and set consistent boundaries for success. She is super smart and motivated to do the right things for this first time leader!

02/03/2025

Here’s Only! A 3 yr old nervous Shihtzu who is new to her forever home and adjusting to life in the big city. She is very observant, sensitive and closely attached to her owner and learning basic skills like potty training and separation for alone time. She will do things ONLY on her time so her name is very fitting. Learning about her preferences and exercising much patience right now is the priority for continued success.

Here’s Scotch (13yr Havanese) and Biscuit (9 mo)! Having a senior and spirited yet undisciplined puppy has been a challenge managing but educated owner how to create more boundaries and work to change the household energy for more calm. Setting new routines, increasing patience and improving communication allowed Biscuit to be successful, tired and satisfied!

28/02/2025

Here’s Mochi! A 3 yr old Maltipoo who has become more possessive and resource guarding the owner’s mother to the point where the owner now feels unable to approach them safely. Educating and teaching better boundaries for Mochi to work and learn as well as changing her locations of access is making a noticeable difference. Looking forward to bringing more balance and ease into their family dynamics.
