Most people’s biggest issues come on the leash with their dog lunging, pulling or being “leash reactive” as the public calls it.

Dogs act like this because the majority of people just let their dog do whatever it wants…

Focus on HEEL and your problems will improve tremendously!

Everything I do in training is down via praise. Telling the dog good job and or petting the 🐶

I say praise is 💰 to the dog

If you reward the good. The good will continue.

Conversely, if you reward the bad behavior it will continue as well.

An example your dog growls at someone and you said it’s okay buddy and pet the dog.

Most people aren’t even aware that they’re rewarding bad behavior but they do.

Another classic example is your dog jumps on you and you don’t want it yet you pet your dog.

When a dog does good I pet the dog… what did you just do in the above example? Reward that behavior.

You need to not reward the bad and it will go away or subside drastically.

Reward the good.

Much like anything in life you need to understand the basics before moving on to the more advanced things!

It’s no different in the world of training your dog. Most people have issues simply because their dog does not have an understanding of the basics!

A strong foundation of the basic commands will not only help you and your dog but it will give you something to fall back on in moments when your dog is acting up!

Example: Most dogs pull or lunge at dogs/people passing by!

The fix: If your dog understands HEEL when your dog goes to lunge or pull you you focus on having your dog HEEL! Heel means walk at your side not pull/lunge.

This is one example.

If you’re having issues with your dog focus on building up the basics and everything else will become way easier!

Praise your dog for good behavior and watch what happens.

Treats are not needed. I personally use treats with my young pups 8-20 weeks old but about 95% of the time after that I do not use them!

People ask me why not.

I say why would I use food when I don’t need to?

When a dog does good I simply praise them “good boy/girl” and pat them on the head.

It’s done wonders for me 😉

It will do the same for you - try it out!

This notion the collar should only be used on walks is solely a believe due to lack of education on the topic.

Training doesn’t just apply when “on a walk” like many people think.

Does your dog jump on people? Chew things? Steal things in your home?

All of the above plus more are relatively easy fixes if done right and when you use the right tools - the issues will be fixed in no time!

Suns out tongues out.

On a mission to help educate the masses as well as pushing the limits of myself, my guy and whoever else wants to come along for the ride!

Here we’re out working at a park on off leash obedience!

Lots of clients I speak with assume “off leash” means just running around. While they’re right to a degree we can also train your dog to be obedient off leash.

Huh 🤔? What does that mean? 👇

It means your dog will heel, sit, stay, down, come, etc all of leash!

How good of a dog do you want?

If your goal is to just go for a walk without being dragged down the street and maybe being featured on that’s cool. We can do that.

Maybe you want to go in public with your dog off leash knowing it will be obedient?

We can do that too. It’s all a process but can be done.

Shoutout to the bald man and the dad rocking a bucket hat with killer calves for photo bombing Yeti and I!

I’m big on respect. Be it while training dogs and in life in general!

To be honest, training dogs is really just psychology at it’s purest form.

Granted it is technically but when broken down it’s very basic and logical.

The thing many don’t understand is the respect factor. If you treat me good. I respect you. If I treat a dog good and lead them, guide them and ultimately teach them the ways then they respect me (or you!)

Throw in the fact I praise a dog a lot and the respect factor goes up more.

If you treat me bad or unfairly- I don’t respect you. If I treat a dog bad or unfairly they don’t respect me.

See the correlation?

This picture just captures the “mutual respect” at it’s purest form.

I’ve trained Nina for a combined 4 weeks and everyday we both show up with that same love for the game. The same respect for one another!

More people need to embrace this concept. Especially in the world of dog training!

I don’t just train dogs. I teach dogs respect. I respect them. They respect me. I respect you. You respect me.

Once respect is broke then trust is lost and it’s hard to gain back. In dogs and in human relationships.

This is important. Remember this.

All of these are very important.

As I trainer I get to observe how my customers do things daily.

These are all very very common mistakes people make and most aren’t even aware that they matter but they do!

Kinda like your kids. How many times do you repeat things to them before they finally do it? 🤔

Dog’s are very intelligent, remember that!

Also, remember one more thing 👇

A Well Trained Dog Starts With A Well Trained Owner!

What does HEEL Mean?

The left side is the standard but if for some reason you want the right side that is totally fine just be consistent!

Your dogs ears should lined up with your leg not 5 inches in front, behind or to the side!

The entire point of being picky with this has a few reasons:

1) When a dog is in Heel you won’t be pulled

2) The point of being consistent is once you get to more advanced off leash training “Heel” means walk at
One side! People often use both sides and then when you ask your dog to heel what are you really asking them?

Everything I do when training a dog is designed to be straightforward to the dog and you as the owner!

Swipe to see a first person point of view at what HEEL should look like!

When you reward a behavior that behavior will be repeated!

Whether it’s good or bad - this is something many people make the mistake of doing!

A classic example: Your dog whines and people will say, “Fluffy, do you need to go out? Are you hungry? What’s wrong?”

The list goes on those are just a few of the most common ones!

In this example your dog whines and you respond aka you are giving attention to a behavior you do not want!

Everything I do in training is done via praise, me telling the dog he is doing good!

Something my mentor always told me, negative attention is still attention!

If you reward unwanted behavior that behavior will be repeated and often times it will get worse!

When people find out I train without treats they literally stop the conversation and ask me, “How do you do it without food? That’s not possible!’

It is possible. I do it everyday.

All you need to do is praise your dog properly and you can do anything!

A dog, just like us like being told they’re doing a good job! 👏

Praising your pup goes such a long way and the nicest thing about it is your dog does it for you and not the treat!

Does your Dog Pull you on walks?

One of the biggest problems can be fixed in 1 hour or less with some proper training!

Heel Command - Dog should be walking at your left side with the pup’s ears in the middle of your leg!

** You can do the right side if you prefer but pick a side and be consistent!

Board & Train

The benefit to having your dog stay for a board & train is you drop off Dog A & pick up Dog B!

This program is the highest investment but yields the best results in the shortest amount of time as I do all the training before then working with you to make sure you understand and do everything properly!

Your dog must be 4.5 months or older to begin this program! I require a pup to be this age to ensure the dog is mature enough!

There is a 2 week minimum for New dogs. Depending what you want done will determine whether I recommend 2 or 3 weeks of training!

However, I can also keep a dog longer and get more done such as off leash obedience!

Have I already trained your dog?

If so, then the 2 week minimum doesn’t apply. For dogs I have already worked with I can watch them while you’re out of town if you want more training and I can even train them for a few days here or there!

The benefit to a Board & Train is the dog doesn’t get away with any bad habits during the training process!

Then when it’s time to go home I have you work the dog with my guidance to make sure you learn how to handle your new dog!

⚫️ 2 Week Minimum for new dogs

⚫️ 2-3 Weeks is what I recommend for most people

⚫️ Videos & Pictures are sent to you through the training as well as me posting on my social media accounts

⚫️ Minimum of 3 Private 60 minute lessons are include with two weeks of training! Additional lessons are include if you do 3 weeks or longer

⚫️ Dog will be trained in a variety of locations; my facility, parks, walking trails, etc!

My goal is to give you the Best Trained Dog in the Neighborhood!

Private Lessons:

I offer a variety of options to help train your puppy dog!

Private Lessons are a great way for the person who really wants to be hands on during the process of training their dog!

🐶 You and I both work together to train your dog. In the beginning, I will train the dog before handing over the leash to you and coaching you how to properly do everything!

🐶 Training is specifically designed for your dog. Want your dog to walk without pulling and sit? We do that. Or maybe you want your dog fully trained on & off leash? We can do that too! You just let me know & we work together to achieve your goal!

🐶 Training occurs at my facility, a local park or in your home!

🐶 Discounted Lesson packages are offered! Pay as you go, 3 Lessons, 5 or 10! The more you buy upfront the cheaper the lessons cost!

If you have any questions let me know and there’s a link in my bio that says “ Fill out Form” if you’re really serious you can answer a few questions that will let me learn more about your dog!

Training dogs has & continues to teach me a lot about not only dogs but people as well!

I have been very ☘️ “lucky” ☘️ to have met a lot of great people throughout the journey and continue to meet great people everyday!

Some of these people have become friends, some close friends and a few are almost considered family!

This guy right here, Yeti Man has and continues to teach me new things daily as well!

He has been by my side since I started The Crafty Pup!

And he proves to me how frickinnnn smart dogs are! And let me tell you it’s wayyyyy more then people give them credit for!

These animals are so intelligent aka why you all hire me to fix the problems 😆

Anyway,

He’s been there for it all. All the ups and even more downs! Without him The Crafty Pup wouldn’t be what it is, no chance in hell!

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to thank him enough for being my ride or die for it all!

This past year has definitely been the hardest year of my life. Again, without Yeti I really don’t think it would have been possible to do what I have done and continue to do!

Breaking off on my own last year was a tough decision but one that I had to do. There was something deep inside my gut telling me I had to do it. Why I had that feeling I can’t really tell you… bc I don’t really even know! But it was itching at me to do it!

What I can tell you is taking that leap of faith, that Jump into the unknown was scary!

It’s led to a tremendous amount of growth for myself, my business and Yeti!

I started going to therapy to better myself both professionally and personally and the ROI is insane 🚀!

My good friend, brother and or mentor whatever you want to call him was the one who told me to go to therapy as he said it was the best thing he’s ever done!

I can now attest to that!

Also, hearing that from a very successful person, one who started a business that most of you now use made the decision easier!

Tell me 2 years ago I’d be looking forward to therapy every week and I’d say you’re insane and laugh in your face. Now, it’s a reality!
