🌟🐾 VIPup of the Month: Meet MURPHY! 🐾🌟

This month we're celebrating Murphy, a 7-year-old chihuahua mix who has been working on reactivity. 💛

When Murphy first started, he barked without end through our entire session.

Since then, they've been absolutely crushing it with:
✨ Noticing triggers from a distance without barking
✨ Quick recovery after reactions

One thing we love about Murphy: His big ears! 🥹🐶

We’re so proud of the progress this dog/handler team has made and so grateful to be part of their journey. Give Murphy some love in the comments! 👏✨

A few things I DON'T expect from my training clients...🐕‍🦺🍂

I don't expect you to have long training sessions with your dog everyday. In fact, I'd rather you have mutiple 5-10 minute sessions than just one 60-minute session.

I don't expect your dog to be "perfect." My goal is to work on whatever it is you'd like to see from your dog. If you don't care about if your dog can heel but also don't want them to drag you down the street, we can do that.

I don't expect you not to make mistakes or ask questions. My job is to teach YOU how to teach your dog at home. If you're confused, your dog probably is too.

“We thought it was just a phase.”

No doodle hate here, I love training them!😅
But let’s just say the popularity boom came with a lot of myths about grooming, shedding, temperament, and more. Every breed (and every mix) comes with its own unique needs. 💛
