Sniffing is your dogs version of therapyšŸ›‹ļø

Sniffing activates a dogā€™s brain and releases serotonin and dopaminešŸ§ . It stimulates the GABA neurons in the olfactory region, which helps regulate anxiety and overstimulation. The easiest thing to do on a walk is let your dog sniff.

For dogs who are reactive, lack confidence, or rely only on sightā€¦ building up sniffing skills is so important. A lot of people donā€™t realize that their dogs nose is their worst sense. Smell is something that we can teach them to build up!

I play nose games with every single dog that I train, whether itā€™s a board and train or a lesson program. It builds confidence by letting your dog problem solve and have lots of wins!

If you have a dog that gets overwhelmed easy, this one is for you. If you have a dog that barks at every single person that comes in the door (even if itā€™s someone they see everyday), this one is for you. If you have a dog that is absolutely terrified when they step outside, this one is for you. You may see a pattern here (spoiler alert: itā€™s for every dog).

I personally taught Easton to find specific scents and weā€™re looking to do trials in the future. Watching him pick up a scent and actively seek itā€¦ itā€™s the coolest thing to watch. He is able to find anything from: rosemary, peanut butter, thyme, and even medication. When he finds the scent, even he knows he is the šŸ’©.

Most trainers hate to admit it, but puppies arenā€™t their favorite to trainšŸ™€

Puppies have the attention span of a goldfish (bless them). Potty and crate training are ROUGH and not for the weak. Some days you feel like everything you taught them the day before went in one ear and out the other. One minute they are sweet, the next youā€™d ask yourself is there a full moon out. The teeth come out and your clothes are shredded. You look like you had a 1v1 with a werewolf. I alwaysss remind my puppy owners- this is normal and you are not alone!

I absolutely LOVE training puppies. Theyā€™re little sponges taking in the entire world for the first time. They have endless puppy energy, huge personalities, and so much potential. Those first weeks when your puppy comes home matters so much- not because a puppy needs perfect obedience, but because theyā€™re learning what the world means to them.

New people. New dogs. New sounds. New surfaces. Being handled. Being alone. Going places. Settling down. Following boundaries. Learning how to communicate with their humans.

Itā€™s a lot of positive exposure, a lot of positive repetitions, and a lot of patience. Theyā€™re still going to be puppies. Theyā€™re going to get distracted, make mistakes, have accidents, bite things they shouldnā€™t, andddd occasionally act like theyā€™ve never heard a command in their life

But getting to have a positive impact during such an important stage of their life is one of my favorite parts of this job.

Youā€™re not just teaching a puppy commands- youā€™re helping build the dog theyā€™re going to becomešŸ’›

This is Benny. Everyone say hi. He is a 5 month old Aussie doodlešŸ¾

Bennyā€™s owners adopted him at 5 months old. They said that he was visibly terrified any time Benny left the apartment where they live. They didnā€™t know what to do, so they signed up with Command Canine. (Luckily they came to the right placešŸ˜‡).

I was the lucky one who got Mr.Benny. (Look at how stinkin cute that face is). Every day we worked on building confidence by positively exposing him to sounds, surfaces, and new environments. We took it slow with lotsss of wins. Benny went to Loweā€™s, a couple of parks, a local shopping center, and a local small town square.

After 3 weeks he now has a solid foundation of obedience and a solid foundation of positive exposure for his parents to continue building off of. He knows how to settle even when he is feeling a little nervous. He no longer is flighty when he is afraid. Benny just needed a little bit of guidance!

Dogs are built to do morešŸ‘šŸ¦†šŸā›‘ļø

For generations, dogs were selectively bred for a purpose- herding livestock, retrieving game, tracking, guarding, and working alongside us.

For some those lifestyles have changed, but the instincts are still there. Thatā€™s one of the reasons I recently got into dog sports with Easton. Itā€™s not about winning. Itā€™s about giving him an outlet, building our relationship, and having fun together.

You donā€™t have to attend dog events for your dog to do the same thing. Find what your dog loves and give them the opportunity to do it.

Thatā€™s why I love working for Command Canine. We help calm your dogā€™s mind, while also shaping their manners. If you are interested in how to give your dog the best possible life, fill out the free consultation link in my bio!

This is Easton. He is the dog behind it all. My soul dog. I got Easton going into my sophomore year while playing college softball. He spent every semester with me. Where I went, Easton went. We graduated together

He has been my best friend since he was 8 weeks old. He turned 5 this past May. He has taught me so much as a person, a dog mom, and a trainer. If you know me, you know e.

He is everything I could ask for as a dog trainerā€™s dog. He gets along with every dog I have brought in, shares his things with other dogs and people, loves to hike or run on the beach, lets me dress him up in random costumes or take 5000 pictures, is extremely well behaved in public, has modeled for companies like native pet/primal pet/etc, amazing off leash recallā€¦. I could go on and on.

Only downside? He likes to backtalk. He will do what you ask, but youā€™re going to hear about it. (I encourage it). Swipe to see the last photo.

Hi, Iā€™m Emma! Iā€™m a professional dog trainer at Command CaninešŸ’™šŸ¾

I created this page as a place to share my life as a trainer/ the dogs I work with, the progress we make, the challenges we work through, and everything in between.

I absolutely LOVE what I do. Dog training is so much more than teaching obedience to me. Itā€™s about changing the way you and your dog understand each other.

When you learn how your dog thinks, why they behave the way they do, and how to communicate with them in a way they understand, your relationship completely changes.

Whether Iā€™m working with a puppy learning basic obedience, a dog struggling with reactivity, or a dog who is terrified to simply exist in their own skin, my goal goes far beyond creating a dog that just listens.

I want to help create confident dogs, capable owners, and relationships built on communication and understanding.

There is something incredibly rewarding about watching a dogā€™s world get bigger as they gain confidence. As well as watching their owner realize what their dog is truly capable of.

This page is where Iā€™ll share that process. If you are interested, fill out the free consultation by hitting the link in my biošŸ¶

Hi everyone! I am making some changes to this page now that I am no longer pet sitting in the Waxhaw area. This page will now be used for dog training :)

This past weekend I had the absolute pleasure of staying with these 3 weens again. Iā€™m partial to the bigger dogs, but these 3 are the worldā€™s BEST snugglers. (Please no one tell Easton because then Iā€™ll have to buy his love with a new frisbee). Wiley, Bella, and Sasha you three will always have such a special place in my heartšŸ’–
