Hello all of you wonderful dog lovers. Thanks for following me, I appreciate you.

The other day, I had the pleasure of working with this incredibly sweet girl who was rescued by her owner just a month ago.

She had a few common behavioral issues, including pulling on the leash and being a little reactive toward other dogs while out on walks.

Her owner also wanted some help making sure this sweet girl wouldn’t be too overwhelming when visiting her mom’s house, where there’s a much smaller, nine-year-old dog.

I’m happy to say the session went fantastic!

This girl was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly smart, eager to learn, and just as sweet as could be.

And seriously, how could you not love that adorable face? ❤️🐾

Hello, all of you wonderful dog lovers! Thanks for following me. I appreciate you.

Well, it has certainly been a minute since I’ve posted, and I have quite a few posts to catch up on. I think I’m going to have to go backwards, so I’ll start with this one.

This was a client I worked with a couple of years ago. She has the little girl, who had developed a need to bark at everything. Even if people had been in her home for a while and were sitting down, every time they stood up, she would start barking. Of course, I’ve seen this behavior a lot.

She was also having problems walking the larger girl, who actually ended up injuring one of her fingers on a walk from jerking her. Another problem was getting ahold of socks and eating them.

The upside is that, with the right work, these behaviors will be very easy to correct, and now she has the tools to do exactly that.

Hello all wonderful dog lovers. Thanks for following me, I appreciate you. So I’m writing a book about my life with Dogs. How interested in that? Would you be?

Hello all of you wonderful dog lovers. Thanks for following me, I appreciate you. So while I worked last weekend, Ochi got to go to a waterpark. I believe it was in Burleson and have a great time with his friends and then afterwards got a treat at In-N-Out Burger with his friend Tessa.

Hello, all of you wonderful dog lovers!

Thanks for following me. I truly appreciate you.

Approximately three years ago, a lady from a Giant Schnauzer rescue group reached out to me about her Giant Schnauzer, Thor, who was showing extreme aggression toward bikes, scooters, and similar things. Since she lived in another state, we did a phone consultation.

About a month ago, she contacted me again about her new rescue Schnauzer, a one-year-old female who was showing very aggressive behavior toward Thor and her other three dogs.

What you’ll read below is what she told me about Thor after our first phone consultation. I’ll let her words speak for themselves.

We recently completed another phone consultation for her new Schnauzer, and I’m posting a video of how wonderfully these two dogs are now getting along.

Let me also add this: I offer phone consultations for people who live outside my area or even outside my state. Those consultations often last two to three hours.

So, even if you’ve worked with other trainers or behaviorists in your area and feel like nothing has worked, I hope you’ll read Ashley’s story and watch the video. If you like what you read, like what you see, and need help with your own dog, don’t hesitate to reach out.

I charge a flat rate of $350 for a phone consultation.

I hope you enjoy Ashley’s story and the video.

“She was extremely fear-reactive and not safe to be around other dogs two weeks ago. With your help, and a lot of work and patience on my end, she has been transformed.

I also tell anyone who will listen how your advice with Thor worked, and you had never even seen him. Most people will tell you I’m an excellent trainer, but I had reached a dead end and couldn’t get past it.

You told me a few years ago that I was the problem and explained how to change my behaviors. You made me promise to commit to trying it for two weeks. Three days later, his reactivity to bikes and scooters was gone. Someone could ride right into him now, and he wouldn’t react.

I was so impressed that a simple conversation resulted in life-changing results. I can’t thank you enough.”

Hello, all of you wonderful dog lovers! Thanks for following me—I truly appreciate you.

Today I got to work with this wonderful Pit Bull named Daisy, who was rescued about a year ago.

The issue the owner was having was that Daisy had nipped several people. And when I say “nipped,” I mean nipped—she did not bite.

When I first walked in the door, she charged and barked. She did the things that many fear aggressive dogs do, or dogs that don’t understand how the pack works. Because of that, they don’t realize everything is okay because the owner has things under control. This usually happens when there’s a miscommunication between the owner and the dog.

During the session, Daisy charged at me several times and barked ferociously, but she never tried to bite me except for one time. That happened because of a leash-handling mistake made by one of the family members. Even then, she went for a controlled nip—not a bite—so I want to make that clear.

It was a really great session. I was able to walk her, show the family how to make answering the door much calmer, and I was able to pet her throughout the session. I would even do things to intentionally set her off, and it almost became a game. As soon as she would charge and bark, I would laugh, walk right up to her, and put my hands on her face. She never tried to nip me.

Now the owners have a clear path to helping Daisy become the great dog that I know she is. You can tell by this video how much I trusted her.
