Grace is a 5 year old Great Dane who had been struggling with some frustration driven leash reactivity, especially when she saw other dogs or wildlife. Grace weighs over 100 lbs and had pulled her mum to the ground quite a few times with all the lunging and pulling she had been doing. So, we started off by conditioning Grace to a head halter in order to gain some better control and help the human end of the leash stay safe while training.

Grace’s mum learned some new handling techniques and created a consistent baseline criteria of ‘calmness’ for access to anything. We built up some loose leash walking skills, and then combined that with a BAT (Behavior Adjustment Training) inspired approach to addressing the over arousal and leash reactivity, and within only a few short months we’ve made some incredible progress! 🙌🏼

I could not do what I do without Dax’s help 🥹

Coco is 3.5 month old Golden Retriever who was a bit overwhelmed in his group puppy class. His mum said that he’d run and hide when the other puppies tried to engage with him. So, today I brought Dax with me and did a much slower intro, letting Coco set the pace.

When Coco initially saw us, he immediately started barking and wanting to run away; but with a little bit of counter conditioning, his emotions and behavior started to change. Over the course of an hour, Coco’s curiosity grew as he continued to become more and more comfortable 🥲 and eventually, he started offering some play bows and doing zoom zooms!

With time and a few more sessions with Dax, I’m hoping that Coco will gain enough confidence to where he’s able to return to his puppy class; but if not, that’s okay too. Group classes can be a bit intimidating and aren’t ideal for everyone. Coco is such a sweet little pup with a great family, and he really seems to enjoy learning 💜 I want to make sure that he feels safe and comfortable all along the way as he learns and grows.

Do you have a dog who struggles with traditional nail trims? If so, scratch boards can be a fun, stress free alternative while we work on building the trust and skills needed for cooperative care 🤗

Getting updates like these from clients makes my heart so happy 🥹💜👏🏼

Adolescence can be a tough time period for many dogs and their guardians 🫶🏼 Both Molly (15 mo brown Shepherd mix) and Zai (9 mo Golden Doodle) have been working on building confidence, while also working on arousal control and emotional regulation skills. Before we started training, Zai displayed over the top excitement 😅 ALL the time. There was no off switch unless she she was in her kennel. Zai was very mouthy with humans, she jumped and grabbed at any loose clothing and was unable to be handled or pet without peeing herself. Molly, on the other hand, was a bit more timid around humans, but needed help learning to dial down the intensity around other dogs.

With consistency, some added structure, relaxation, environmental management, adequate enrichment and creating a baseline criteria of calmness for access to anything; both dogs have come leaps and bounds in a relatively short period of time. I couldn’t be more proud of them and their families 🤗

👏🏼 Keep up the good work guys!

The leash is a seatbelt, not a steering wheel 😉 Equipment helps with management, but it doesn’t train the behavior you want, reinforcement does.

Baxter had the best day at school today! His ability to communicate appropriately and control his arousal level continues to improve as his confidence around larger dogs continues to grow. It’s been a lengthy process getting him to this point, but we’re so stinking proud of him! 🤗💜✨ Keep up the good work guys!!

Do you have a dog who loves other dogs, but doesn’t always play appropriately? We can help with that! The first clip in this video was taken by Molly’s humans before we started training. She’s made quite an incredible amount of progress in a relatively short period of time 👏🏼

Today, 🤗 Harper and I started working on cooperative beard cleaning for after she eats. Her food is a rehydrated raw blend and tends to get stuck in her fur, forming painful mats 🥹 I’m hoping that this new skill will help prevent that from happening.

Enrichment is going to look a little different for every dog, and Harper LOVES when she gets to play her brain games 🤓 Lately, we’ve been having fun working on our Spanish together 🤗 Harper can now identify numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 in both Spanish and English 🙌🏼
