Got leash reactivity? One of our clients’ favorite ways to start working on things and make their dog successful is by setting up at a park where they can watch people or dogs go by on a path! This gives both you and your dog more predictability, because generally people are following the path and it gives you some space to adjust your distance space on how big your dog’s bubble is! Also how cute is Stanley 🥹 #dogbehavior #dogtraining
Want to make grooming and veterinary procedures more comfortable and less stressful for your pet? Us too! Here are three little things you can do to help your pet have a more comfortable ear cleaning.

Whether you’re doing silly training or serious behavior modification, fun cues can be a way to have a little more fun! Comment with your favorite phrases or words you’ve used for different behaviors! #dogtraining #labrador #dogsofthetriangle
Super sweet Beagle boy, Milton, was quite happy to snuggle during his training session 😂🥰 #beagle #dogsofthetriangle
Two things I’ve changed my mind about! What do you do for your dogs? If you’re doing something and it works for you and your dog, great! Don’t fix what isn’t broken ☺️ #dogtraining #labrador #rescuemutt
If your dog jumps all over guests when they come to the door, here is the very first step to training better behavior! Practice with household members in the same location that guests come in! Practice when you come home! #dogtraining #goldendoodle #dogsofthetriangle
Sound on! 🔉One of the easiest ways to make life just a little bit better for your sound sensitive dog! #dogtraining #dogbehavior #labrador @blue9petproducts
Our number one recommendation for any household with multiple dogs!!! Starting this with young puppies new to the house is especially important, and it’s never too late to start building the essential life skill of being able to be apart from your dog sibling!
My wonderful clients are fostering these two cuties, who are both looking for homes! Mom is a Shepherd and we don’t know what dad was. They are up for adoption through @bestfriendpetadoption and you can find them on their adoptable dogs page!
Just a little bit about Cal! I love having Cal on the Animal Insight Team because he brings such warmth and compassion, he has a great problem-solving brain, and he’s got gorgeous technical skills, too!
Okkoto using mat game for confidence building!
Check out Okkoto here rocking his mat game skills!! This is his first time at a cafe, and we chose a quiet day to make sure he was successful. Historically, he has been pretty nervous around new people - so we made sure he got plenty of snacks every time someone appeared 😊
His ears are a huge source of information about how he's feeling! You can see how they're constantly moving and focusing on various noises around us, and how high and tight they're held corresponds to the amount of focus he has on something.
Last week, I bought some dryer balls. I realized my mistake immediately when I opened them and saw Patronus gazing longingly back at me as I held them 😂 we managed things great for one whole week, but then today while I was making the bed I forgot to close the dryer and someone got suspiciously quiet… #managementfail #labrador
My favorite way to let my energetic dog get his yayas out before I jump on a zoom call! Get yourself a long line and some treats, or even play indoors! #dogtraining #labrador
Here’s why I don’t teach my dogs “leave it!“. They already have a cue that gets me the exact same behavior I want: come!!! life is so busy and there are so many things to do and learn, my clients and I save ourselves brain space and time by teaching a really fabulous come when called! #dogtraining #labrador #mutt #dogsofthetriangle
Cooperative Care training is a fabulous way to make vet visits, grooming, and handling way less stressful for you and your pet! Here’s me and Patronus doing a nail trim! If your dog or cat struggles at the vet or to be groomed, and you feel like it’s time to help them out, visit our website and get in touch!
13 week old Sadie just finished a mini puppy program to get her team off on the right paw, and they are crushing it!
Did you know that Animal Insight has trainers that work with dogs with all sorts of needs- from timid and reserved to bouncy and outgoing?
Way to go, Team Sadie - keep up the good work!

Quiet enrichment can include sniffing, watching, listening and observing from a new or different place. Enjoy a moment with Gibbs as he takes in the smells and sounds of the coming spring.

Meet Ruby! This little ball of super energy learned a neat way to earn some cookies this week and she and her owner had a blast playing the pattern game Look At That.
Keep leveling up, Team Ruby!

Behavior change is easier when we remove barriers for ourselves! If your dog could really use walks in the rain but you hate going out and getting wet, find yourself a good rain jacket, a pair of rain boots, and a biothane lead! #doglife #labrador #dogtraining
