Welcome Snoopy to the Frankly pack !

Snoopy is a 1 1/2 year old Chiweenie who's got some major trust issues.

He will not let you put a harness on him. He won't let you trim his nails. He hates it when his favorite person leaves his sight and most importantly, he will bite you if you're a stranger. Especially men and children.

Snoopy is here so that him and his owner can enjoy life again. We will teach him to allow necessary handling such as muzzling , nail trimming , and leashing up. He will learn how to handle strangers in the household and to stroll politely by people on walks.

Let's wish Snoopy a comfortable transition into his new way of living for the next 6 weeks. He's got this !!!

Meet Freya !

Freya is a rescue German shepherd that loves her mom to pieces ! But she has a few issues that make it difficult to live with her.

Freya will...
Get out of crates unless they are zip tied shut . She has busted plastic crates time and time again.
Eat through doors
Take off as soon as she is off leash
Scale 6 foot fences
P*e and p**p in the house
Chase and bites horses

Finally.. She does not like her Dad. She will snap at him, has bitten him multiple times and will not allow him to put a leash on her. This makes it extremely difficult to take her outside when Mom is not home.

Freya has had two lessons with me and is already improving on her recall, kennel training and her Dad can now put a leash on her with mom present. We are also starting muzzle training to make sure Dad is safe and she can learn that biting does not get her out of stressful situations.

Watch her journey while we navigate rescue dog anxiety and reactivity and build long lasting trust that stays with her pack for a lifetime.

Little Hunter the golden retriever had his first tug session !

Playing tug of war is an amazing way to control prey drive and use your dog's natural instinct to bite and tug as a reward , rather than stamping it out.

This little puppy is so much fun and I am more than happy to help fuel his toy obsession so that his owner can use what she learned during their training at home and in public
