Gilly, a 20-month-old toy poodle, is a delightful pet. However, do not be fooled by his innocent appearance! He is highly intelligent and uses demanding behaviors to manipulate his people. Our customized training plan will utilize consistent behavioral training and reinforcement to address attention-seeking and demanding behaviors.

The heat is on in sunny Southwest Florida so we are practicing leash walking skills and creating positive experiences at an offsite location. Nice job! 😎🌴😃

There are many reasons dogs pull on leash. Our client has been working on leash walking skills in familiar settings and is doing beautifully. In a brand new environment that can change. Anxiety and uncertainty cause this dog to move ahead of his person. What to do? Stop, stand still, remain quiet and let your dog process his surroundings. Note when finished, he looks for guidance, checks in and returns back to his side (he's learning it's the best place to be!). The walk resumes. Well done!

After years with older dogs you get used to a certain rhythm…..calm, predictable. Now, Mochi has arrived! He is the cutest and a joy to his new family, yet has brought some chaos as well. He’s a long-haired Chihuahua rescued all the way from Texas. His person required guidance with adjusting to life with a puppy’s behaviors and the relationship between him and their older dog. Do you have a new puppy? With patience, guidance and the right approach, we can help you through the transition.

Impulse control…. We can’t say enough about its importance. The “wait cue” tells your dog to pause and hold a position temporarily. Permission to move forward is granted by using a release word. It teaches emotional self control and ensures safety and manners. The benefits are numerous! Our client had a successful day working on steps at an offsite location. Well done 🙂
