"Penny" for your thoughts?! *Penny's adoption price has been partially sponsored!!*
Fee is now 300! SUCH a sweet 3 year German Shepherd Dog that previously had papers, but have not acquired them! Spayed, microchipped, UTD on shots & obedience & a clean bill of health!

Info about her & what I'm looking for in a home!:
โ€ขShe is somewhat cat friendly/neutral. Has met several nose to nose and has been very respectable! (I ALWAYS recommend that you introduce slowly and maintain boundaries)

โ€ขDoes well with ALL dogs: male, female, spayed or neutered or not! Same for sizes!

โ€ขEats any type of food, does great on Victor!

โ€ขSOO sweet, LOVES to cuddle! She's also content sleeping in her crate or on her bed. ๐Ÿ’–

โ€ขHouse trained 100% - Was previously allowed to wander on occasion in her previous home!

โ€ขLikes water! (I will update seeing if she loves to swim/kayak!) ***UPDATE: She loves the water haha

โ€ขWAS previously being trained as a Service Dog - I now believe she would continue to do well with her future owner if they wanted to pursue this as an option (Currently maintaining Therapy Dog Training)

Things I'm looking for:
โ€ขFamilies with 2 or fewer dogs.

โ€ขFamilies with 2 or fewer children, ages 3 years and up. Was raised with 3 children aged 2-10+.

โ€ขShe is NOT and NEVER will be allowed to be an "outside dog". She must/WILL be homed to someone who wants her inside the house 65%+ of the time.

โ€ขShe knows: place, sit, down, heel, leave it, off, formal recall, offleash hiking and obedience.

โ€ขPenny comes with free lifetime refresher training, and her future training would be cut into essentially a fourth of cost.

โ€ขApartment living is okay. However, you must get her out for walks and hiking adventures, and/or brain games.

ใ€‹I have known Penny for almost, if not, 3 years now and can tell you pretty much everything and anything about her history and currently life/behavior!

Awesome spoken words from "Nash" and his mom on their most recent adventure to Colorado!!

They took a 3 hour train ride through the mountains and we're praised on their exceptional behavior every step of the way!

Training opens up amazing doors for well-behaved pups, and this was/is no different!

INCOMING!!!

Most animals are terrified or stressed by fireworks.
Many animals, regardless of training, will attempt to bolt or flee.

Recognizing stress signals in dogs is an excellent way to know when your best furiend has "had enough".

Most common signs of significant stress are
โ€ขPacing
โ€ขExcessive panting
โ€ขExcessive drool(not around food)
โ€ขHigher volume of "stress yawns" (the wife mouthed whined yawn!)
โ€ขShaking
โ€ข"Scared ears", pinned to sides of head accompanied by a tucked tail
Other signs may be:
โ€ขHiding
โ€ขLip licking
โ€ขWhining
โ€ขWhale/wide eyes

Steps to prioritize when considering fireworks:

โ€ขEXERCISE YOUR DOG DURING THE DAY/NOW
-We are getting into the evening so exercise in a fenced in yard ON leash if possible. People are already setting off the "popping" explosives.

โ€ขDESIGNATE A DARK ROOM OR AREA OF HOUSE
-Preferably, your dog is crate trained! Have a closet or bathroom UNACCESSIBLE to guests, or with a sign stating "DO NOT OPEN. DOG INSIDE" to prevent your dog accidentally being released. **Preferably no windows, but you can put blankets/sheets over them.

โ€ขLOUD T.V.S / RADIOS / FANS / WHITE NOISE MACHINES ARE YOUR FRIEND
-Place this device as close as possible to your dog, but not to where they could potentially chew wires.

โ€ขDOGGY BENADRYL / TRAZADONE / CALMING TREATS
-Of course, use medication as prescribed by veterinarians. However, most recommend giving to the dog now, before "s**t hits the fan." ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’€

โ€ขNO DOG TAGS? WRITE YOUR NUMBER ON A PIECE OF TAPE AND FOLD ONTO COLLAR.
-You can also write your number on an older collar!

โ€ขDOGGY MUFFS
-There are companies that sell these hearing protections, but you can also make your own! LARGE cotton balls that are EASY to grab placed on the outer most of ear, then wrap ears/head of dog with vet wrap or the reusable elastic bandage wrap! (Pointy earred friends: just fold those ears down/over!)

AS ALWAYS: BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!

Precious, precious "MURPHY"! ๐Ÿถ This 6 month "CavaPoo" (King Charles Cavalier / Poodle cross) knows he's ADORABLE!!

His first class consisted of covering impulse control, boundary training, and creating safety at the doorway ; preventing door bolting! ๐Ÿšช ๐Ÿ•

"Archie" a returning boarding pup doesn't care that fellow boarding pup "Leia" has 60lbs on him!..Or about 2+ feet, either ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿฝ

Size appropriate play is super important, as well as play styles! Archie is a rambunctious guy that loves a rougher playtime! He plays with the smaller dogs but I also allow him to play with trusted dogs who I know their play style match and are respectful. (Such as "Uncle Dante" and Leia who loves to be chased)
Supervised play time is even more important, though I did have to sneak these photos through the door before coming back out! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

Does anyone else's dogs do that?! "OH look, she's filming. Act super uninterested in everything." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿฝ

๐Ÿ‘— "Make it pink" ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ

Do you guys know how hard it was to get two ball-driven to sit still for a photo?

Maybe not so difficult for Demo-Dog "Dante" but "Lilly" the 5 month old wanted to "see it all!" and that she did!

She had a blast at her free consult meeting, "Uncle Dante," ducks, sticks, strangers and bikes! Her training plan will be focused towards obedience, socialization and home alerts!

Her brother is next to visit and i can't wait!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜

๐ŸŒถ "Pepper" the has graduated from to full-fledged and was flown out under es**rt from Uncle Dante and myself to her new furever home after another intense week of training, and a follow up training test here in a few weeks!

This pup was a roller coaster since the day I got her, but if I knew then what I know now, I'd do it all over again, no hesitations.

I love her with every peace of my โค๏ธ and I know her new dad does too.

Thank you so much to this family for the trust and the recommending family for the trust/confidence in me to get this done. Almost a year of training and she is an amazing, precious, girl.

Peppy weppy, I'll see you soon, babe! For now, "sit back and let the evening go" and "I'll get by with a little help from my friends." ๐Ÿ’“

This is so important to understand and is why I created the phrase "training starts in both ends of the leash."

I tell all my clients that the goal for classes isn't for me to train your dog, but rather make you your own mini dog trainer! Your success with your dog is my happiness, but we won't get there in our hour classes(s)! If comes with the homework you need to complete daily/weekly! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

โ€œI don't know, but it's looking good so far."
๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿฅ ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ He ROCKED his free consult, where I showed his mom a couple of important tips for car safety, ๐Ÿš— manners/impulse control โ˜บ๏ธ, and discussing better bond building, which is crucial!
Luckily, it was already a huge desire on her part, so we were on the same page! He'll be back in a few weeks with his parents, and we'll get started on his formal classes.
I can't wait!

Also, side note: this serves as a formal petition to ask Maverick's mom to get him a pet duck and name it Goose. ๐Ÿฆ†โœˆ๏ธ

"EASY peasy" - Pepper ๐ŸŒถ

We had our usual relaxed walk, and something made me think๐Ÿค” "hmm.. though it's completely useless trick, I wonder if she could do it.."

So sure enough, I asked her, and with attempt 1 & 2 she had too much "oomph," causing her to go up, on, and over, haha. ๐Ÿฆ˜
On the third jump, she landed it perfectly, and it was high enough to be a little bit of a creeper ๐Ÿ‘€ and glance over the fence at the neighbor dogs. ๐Ÿ˜‚

She's such a fun spunky little girl and I can't wait to unite her with her dad! ๐Ÿ˜Š

All of her classes are in Spanish, and I love getting to hang out with this Guatemalan family! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

Bella is a veryyyyy sweet puppy, but has a mind of her own and if the motivation isn't present, sometimes she doesn't want to work! Her training is all about finding that good middle ground and addressing timing and consistency!

๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒปThe first time I ever met "Lilly", we spent 30 minutes of our 30 min consult 30+ feet apart due to extreme reactivity and anxiety.
The next 40 minutes, we had great success with moving closer, decreased barking, and some general curiosity.

*DOG TRAINING IS NOT LINEAR, FRIENDS!*

However the SECOND consult...???
BLOWN. OUT. OF. WATER!!
Lilly was still extremely nervous, but by the end of 20 minutes: little to no barking, let me walk her and was able to sit on my command, and we loaded in and out of vehicle at close proximity with little to NO reactivity to passerbys or myself!!
She is SO sweet. And all I want (and her mom, too!) Is for her to live her best happy and confident life!!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Lil's end-goals are:
Doggy Daycare/Day School
Safe trusted place in Boarding
Classes for confidence and distraction
Board & Train advanced obedience and manners!

Her mom is capable AF and a strong-willed 4'8" baddie ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿฝ so I know it's happen. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ
