The Bryi's Dog Training Science based dog training, utilizing games to help your dog make great choices in real life scenari I was the kid who gravitated to dogs.

I’m not sure I can remember a time when there wasn’t a dog or cat in my life, from feisty Jack Russell terriers to laid back German Shepherds and a host of the most fabulous Heinz 57s. It was a random Golden Retriever my family met on the beach who got me to take my first steps into the ocean, it was my wonderful beagle/Jack Russell cross, Jody, who showed me how well cats and dogs can live together and Lara my rescued lurcher who had to be mother to anything she met, including kittens. We just seemed to understand each other, it just seemed natural. Then one day we took in a stray border collie who was terrified of the world and five weeks later she had pups. One of the pups that we kept was shy but a few things happened that just made her fearful of the world. That’s when I became involved in agility and competition obedience: I knew I needed to give her the tools to function in the outside world. For the past eight years we have been on a huge journey to find what works for her and she has been a most patient and helpful teacher in this process. She’ll never be a dog that wants strangers to pet and cuddle her but she can go and play in a dog park and go to the vets without needing a sedative. Evy taught me how much of a journey helping a dog can be and how wonderful it is to be able to help your best friend. During this time I also became a qualified agility judge in the UK and took UK kennel club puppy foundation courses at my local dog club. Moving to Texas allowed me the opportunity to leave the corporate world and spend more time with my pets as well as completing a diploma in dog training. I believe passionately in positive reinforcement, letting a dog know what they can do is so much more enjoyable for both you and your dog than reprimanding them when they do something you don’t want them to. Having six dogs of various breeds and mixes has also given me a wonderful insight into how different dogs can be, that no one training method suits every dog and that you have to be willing to adapt to succeed. I’m forever thinking of new things to do with my dogs, whether it’s bringing in the mail, rolling themselves in a blanket, or putting their toys away; they all have different things they enjoy so I work with that to find new things for them to do. I realize that not all dogs are able to attend group classes for training — it can be too stressful or exciting for them to concentrate. That’s why I will come to your home and meet with you and your dog. We will set up a personal training program and can progress at a speed that’s right for you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs.

It’s important to be proactive and that means thinking about what skills your dog may need as the get older. During national deaf dog week we’ll be looking at ways we can help our best friends navigate the world if they lose their hearing.

🐾 Senior Pet Comfort Tip: Ramps Aren’t Just for the House

Many of our dogs still love going places : sniffing new environments, visiting familiar favorites, or just enjoying a change of scenery.

But as dogs get older, those adventures can quietly become limited…
not because they don’t want to go, but because getting in and out of the car becomes hard.

This is especially true today, with SUVs and pickup trucks becoming the norm. Entry points are higher, jumps are harder, and for large-breed dogs, lifting simply isn’t realistic. And it’s not just big dogs, many guardians have physical limitations that make lifting even smaller dogs unsafe or impossible.

That’s where ramps for car access can make a huge difference.

Modern dog ramps have come a long way:

Telescopic and foldable designs for easy storage

Wider, sturdier options built for large and giant breeds

Non-slip surfaces that support confidence

One important tip we always share:
👉 Check the ramp length, not just weight capacity.
Some ramps are designed for car-height access and can create very steep angles when used with SUVs or pickup trucks: which can be uncomfortable or unsafe for senior dogs.

Car ramps aren’t just for seniors either. They’re incredibly helpful for:

Dogs with arthritis or mobility challenges

Dogs recovering from injury or surgery

Any dog who struggles with jumping

Supporting access means preserving experiences. With the right tools, aging dogs don’t have to stop exploring: they just need a safer way to get there 💛

Have you noticed your dog hesitating to jump into the car lately? 🐾

🐾 It’s Deaf Dog Awareness Week!

Did you know that dogs can be born deaf, develop hearing loss through illness or injury, or simply lose their hearing as they get older?

Some breeds are particularly susceptible to congenital deafness. Around 30% of Dalmatians have been reported to have some degree of hearing loss, and increased rates occur in several other breeds.

But deafness isn't always obvious. A dog who can hear in one ear may compensate remarkably well, while gradual hearing loss in an older dog can be so subtle that their family doesn't immediately notice it.

Our own Brighton and Danae both gradually lost their hearing as they aged. Today, for all practical purposes, they're completely deaf: but they're still very much Brighton and Danae!

This week we'll be sharing a little more about recognizing hearing loss, communicating with a deaf dog and why we think every dog should learn visual cues: long before they need them. 💛🐾

🐾 Would you know if your dog was losing their hearing?

Age-related hearing loss usually happens gradually, so it can be surprisingly easy to miss.

You might notice your dog:

👂 Doesn't respond when called if they can't see you
💤 Sleeps through sounds that previously woke them
🚪 Doesn't notice you entering the house or room
😮 Startles because they didn't hear someone approaching
🔔 Stops responding to familiar sounds like the doorbell, treat bag or squeaky toy

And here's an important one: don't automatically assume an older dog who stops responding to a familiar verbal cue is being stubborn.

Brighton and Danae gradually lost their hearing as they got older. Because the change wasn't instantaneous, adapting alongside them became part of the process.

If you notice changes in your dog's hearing, a veterinary check is always a good place to start. Some causes of hearing loss may be treatable, while others simply mean finding new ways to communicate.

And dogs are remarkably good at that. 💛

Scatter feeding is useful in so many situations including ignoring other dogs on a walk.

Now you can’t just toss down some food and expect your dog to immediately know what’s expected of them so start in a distraction area.

This will allow your dog to learn that all you would like them to do is find and eat the food.

Once they understand the basics you can start introducing low level distractions, remembering to go at your dog’s pace.

📸🐾 National Dog Photography Day is July 26! 🐾📸

If you're anything like us, your camera roll is probably 90% dog photos... and we're not judging. 😄

Over the years we've learned that the best dog photos aren't always the perfectly posed ones. Sometimes it's the head tilt when they hear their favorite word, the goofy grin after a walk, or that peaceful moment when they're curled up in their favorite spot.

One of our favorite photography tips is to help your dog feel comfortable before you ever pick up the camera. Dogs who are relaxed and enjoying themselves are much more likely to give you those natural expressions we all love. And don't be afraid to take lots of photos: sometimes the "accidental" shot ends up being the best one of all!

So in honor of National Dog Photography Day, we want to see YOUR favorite dog photo!

📷 Share your favorite picture of your dog in the comments below and tell us:
🐶 What's their name?
❤️ Why is this photo your favorite?

Whether it's a professional portrait, a hilarious blooper, or a candid moment that perfectly captures their personality, we want to celebrate the dogs who make our lives better every day.

We'll be featuring some of our favorites throughout the week!

Ready... set... share those pups! ⬇️
