Reeny is here while her mommy is away…

Structure remains the same regardless. She declined dinner and breakfast. However, she did empty her tank. I suspect she’ll want her food at dinner time. No need to worry. A healthy dog will not starve themselves. The last thing you want to do here is try other foods. Of course, if I cut up steak or chicken or hot dogs, she may take that. That just makes her picky and will ruin what Mom has done at home with getting her on a schedule.

This isn’t cruel. This is kindness. This dog is in a new environment. Mom said she didn’t want dinner last night either. But I can bet that Reeny knew by the change in Mom’s routine that something was different. That’s to be expected. New routine, new environment. It can be overwhelming. Sure, we may indulge in things like snacks and sweets when we feel stressed or overwhelmed. But do we want to just have any old thing to eat? Sometimes humans are so out of it that they too will skip meals. It just is sometimes.

Staying on a schedule gives a dog predictability, which in turn allows them to feel safe. If Reeny decides not to eat tomorrow, then I’ll worry. I guarantee by dinner the update is that she finally ate. A healthy dog will not starve themselves but will eat when actually hungry.

We do what the dog needs. Not what we feel the dog needs.

Not every dog wants to be everyone's best friend right away — and that's okay.

Some dogs have big feelings about new people. Barking, pacing, keeping their distance... that's not "bad behavior," that's them saying "I'm worried and I need space."

Today was all about honoring that.

Instead of forcing an interaction, we gave him space, let him decompress outside, let him use his nose, and let him choose to check things out on his own terms. No pressure. No staring contest. Just time.

And look what happened? That same dog who was barking non-stop at the beginning ended class laying down with his head down, relaxed in the same room.

That's why space is a training tool. That's why letting dogs disengage is so powerful. When we stop trying to make them feel comfortable and start giving them a reason to feel safe, they do.

Management isn't failure — it's kindness while we build confidence. A gate, a kennel in a quiet room, a fenced yard walk — those are all ways we set them up to succeed.

Proud of this pup and his people for leaning in and doing the hard, quiet work. 💙

This!!!! THIS!

Please don’t try to do stuff without working without someone experienced. All dogs are different.

But !! The point being

“She just didn’t know she could feel safe”

I’m not just talking out of my ass…

This stuff needs to be handled with such care…

Message me. I want to help.

Took another practice CCPDT test and nailed it.

I know if I over study I may second guess these questions..

But I’m so excited.

Those letters will be after my name in no time!

It gets really exciting when you see training methods start to work…

But that’s usually when humans drop the ball…

We see little windows where we think “now the dog can handle XYZ”.

I know we all want our dogs to be apart of every little thing we do. But sometimes, our dogs simply are not ready for it.

I can’t say your dog can’t ever do the things YOU want.

But that’s just it. It’s what YOU want.

It’s time we start doing what our dogs NEED.

When you know and can see the difference, that’s when the training works.

Today I have a private lesson at the clients home..

We already had a consult. So this is basically us getting the training underway.

We have a dog who barks relentlessly when people come into the home. Which is a very common occurrence for someone like me to see.

Protocols for today and being the first lesson is to use the tools that work.

The dog will be crated for my arrival as well as the remaining family coming home after school/work.

Believe it or not; if we want to see change it has to come right from the source. The people living with the dog.

Management is phase one. We use the tools that work. This dog particular is crate trained. How fast he settles after family or guests walk in today will help me see where is brain is at.

The goals are we have a dog that can relax when guests come in but I’m not looking for perfection today. My job today is to observe, then set up new greeting rituals for family AND guests.

I’m not trying to create a robot out of this dog. Life is going to happen and we know that. But we need a baseline first. Then we work within those parameters until we can move outside them and learn more skills.

This process will look different depending on the dog, family, environment and so on. That is why we do consults first. Where do we need to start? And how to we move on from there.

Management is step one. Modification is step two. Consistency and clear communication helps us get there.

Not sure if you need training? Start with a conversation. No judgement, no shame. I’m here to help you get to your goals. One step at a time.

Today is the last perfect day to study for my CCPDT test.. and I’m hitting the questions hard.

I can’t believe how fast this is coming up.

Eight years of being a dog training instructor..8 years of hands on experience..

All types of dogs, sizes, issues ect

All of that experience being boxed into one test.

200 questions …

I won’t say I’m NOT nervous…

But I am ready!

And why am I doing it?

To prove to myself that I can. And to better myself for the people who put their trust in me.

And to be ahead of the game if and when laws change.

I invest in myself in a daily basis. Growing, learning and always keeping my ego aside to do my absolute best.

I can’t wait for the day I could put those letters next to my name.

Thank you Ugly Chews for your investment and support!
