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

Take a look at these two beautiful boys that I had the pleasure of working with. The owners called me in because the dogs were getting into very violent fights. This of course is not good considering that they live in the same home. One male belongs to the mom, and the other belongs to the daughter.

When I arrived, it didn’t take long for me to figure out what was actually happening. Throughout the entire session, the mom was especially surprised that, as you can see from the pictures, I had the dogs loose in the house with us once I established the pack walk.

While I could see, particularly from the mom’s dog, some body language that suggested he might want to go after the other dog, he never followed through. He had developed a better sense of calm, and he could clearly tell that I was in charge.

What I needed from the owners was to show them how they could communicate to the dogs that they are in charge—what behaviors they like, what behaviors they don’t like, and how to become better pack leaders. By doing that, these dogs can peacefully coexist for the rest of their lives.

This really was a wonderful session.

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

Yesterday, my little buddy Ochi had such a great day playing fetch in my friend’s pool. She took these two perfectly timed pictures of him. He doesn’t just swim off the top stair into the pool to get his float toy—he actually likes to dive through the air! He’s so funny.

Hello all your wonderful dog lovers. Thanks for following me. I appreciate you. Now I didn’t make this video. It was a video that was made on its own in my photo app, but I absolutely love it and wanted to share it. My little buddy Ochi.

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

So, this session was packed with quite a few things, so let’s start with the two Frenchies you see: the brindle Frenchie and the white-and-tan Frenchie with a few other markings. They are two female Frenchies, both about eight years old. The couple also rescued a Mastiff, who I believe is around three years old, from Lone Star Dog Ranch. Her name is Hannah (FKA Zannah).

The reason they originally called me in was because Hannah had been going after the brindle Frenchie, and they were worried she was going to hurt her. However, when I got there, I could quickly tell that Hannah was not the issue. The little brindle Frenchie was actually the one picking the fights, and Hannah was simply having none of it. Even so, Hannah never once tried to hurt the little Frenchie, which was a very good thing.

One issue Hannah did have, though, was that she was very wary of men. It was obvious to me that whoever had her before she was surrendered was likely a male who was verbally abusive, physically abusive, or possibly both.

So, my goal during the session was to eliminate the reasons behind the conflict between the brindle Frenchie and Hannah — mostly on the Frenchie’s side — while also helping Hannah build confidence so she could become a happier, more secure dog.

Overall, all three dogs were really sweet. The little white-and-tan Frenchie with the extra markings was incredibly chill. She honestly didn’t need much other than the chaos around her being resolved.

I was very glad they called me in to help with their three wonderful dogs, and I look forward to hearing updates from them.

Hello all your wonderful dog lovers. Thanks for following me. I appreciate you. I just love working with puppies and this sweet guy right here was a lot of fun to work with. He had your typical puppy problems like jumping being mouthy and having accidents all of those things that are really easy to fix if you have the right information.

Hello all of you wonderful dog lovers. Thanks for following me. I appreciate you. 🫵 so I got to meet and work with these two little cute dogs, the little male and the little female. The reason that the owners called me in was the males level of aggression in situations, like trying to hand him over to the groomer to the vet because he will definitely bite in those situations and he tried to get me several times not because it was aggressive. It’s because it comes out of fear and panic so I showed them a better way of handing him off so he could be picked up which I was able to pick him up several times without getting bit. It was when I replicated the grooming, vet procedures that he went into fall on bike mode. Luckily, I was able to handle him and then explain to them the process to go through to help him get past this behavior other than that he really did good needs a sweet boy the girl on the other hand, very shy, almost fearful, so I had to help them with that as well and it was just a great session.

Hello all of you Wonderful Dog lovers. Thanks for following me. I appreciate you. So look at this little cutie that I got to work with the reason that the owners called me in was that she just needed some tightening up on her manners and the really big one was she was constantly in the older dogs face, especially if the owners tried to give the older dog affection then she would just get in her face, and when it came to playing, she wouldn’t let up and at one point, I saw the older dog just pinned her down she didn’t harm her. She just simply pinned her down to correct the puppies behavior and the puppy got it, but I explained to the owners where they need to step in in a situation like this and back up the older dog, so the older dog knows that they’ve got her back and the puppy learns that the owners the humans in the home are the rule setters. But it was really just a fun session for me. Oh!…And she was a talker! 😆

Hello are you Wonderful Dog lovers. Thanks for following me. I appreciate you. So I got to meet these two wonderful boxers who the owners called me in to specifically work with the younger female who is a rescue. The older male is just a wonderful, just great dog. The younger female side of the home is also just a wonderful sweet girl. However, the problem was that she has very high leash aggression on top of that just really bad at pulling on the leash which can contributed partly to the leash aggression. Luckily, she was really easy to get walking correctly on the leash. Then we encountered a couple of dogs and her leash aggression kicked in and it is high enough that I actually got a reactive bite from her in the leg not because she was being aggressive towards me, but because I was keeping her from going after the other dogs and it was a reactive frustration bite. And then the wonderful part was I was actually able to get her to calm down and just sit within a few feet of the other dogs. So it went really well. Yay! I’m so glad I was able to help so that she wasn’t returned to the shelter that they got her from because they were so frustrated with her.
