I’m finally cleared from surgery to work! Not with big, jumpy, aggressive, reactive dogs yet. But I’ll be cleared for that in about 4 weeks, so get on the list now! Space is very limited.

Im really trying to do better with recording training.. but.. this is Clair, super fearful/suspicious shelter pup from Texas. We all know one.. they don’t like really anything. They don’t trust humans. They have a hard time relaxing in any environment. We’ve just been observing how she plays with other dogs so we can tap into her play style, and getting her out on walks and trying to let her tap into her dogness. It’s working! We have had to force her out of her comfort zone a on a few non negotiables (like walks, which she would rather not do but will propel her forward), otherwise we are trying to meet her where she’s at. Shes not a danger to people or dogs- there’s no need to push faster than she needs to be- but I’ve definitely nudged her forward a few times. The video is of her running like a mad woman around her mom… who she wouldn’t even go near when they first brought her home. Excited to see where she is in a few short weeks!

Picture 1: “leave it”… because my toddler kindly dumped a container of cheezits on the floor. They must taste better that way because this is a daily occurrence. And, I need my dog to “leave it” for many reasons, but Santinos food, toys, and space are his. End of story. Do I let him feed them snacks sometimes? Yes. Do I let them clean up his mess on the floor sometimes? You bet. Do I have to worry that they will steal his food? No. Push him over when they are rushing into the pile of food on the floor to sn**ch it up? No. Get in a fight trying to get to it before the other dog? No. This is much safer, and in my opinion much more fair to the dogs. I see too many professionals telling people their dog has to spend eternity behind a baby gate while the owners feed them treats for not biting the kids. Oh and pic 2 was my bad for forgetting I told her to leave it, and then forgetting to clean it up for 15 mins 😬 so I let her clean up the cheezits after being such a good girl.

I wanted to reintroduce myself and my business as I’ve been on maternity leave for a minute.
I’m Steph! Owner of Howl Mountain Dog Training. I’m mobile, I come to
your home to start and then we make our way to parks, the woods, school bus stop- whatever is needed for you and your dog. I also do group obedience classes, group hikes and off leash training just over the CT line.
Reactivity, loose leash walking, fearful dogs, aggression, you name it and I probably do it- If I don’t, I will know exactly the professional to send you to!

After having a difficult pregnancy and becoming a mum, I realize how important it is to not only have manageable dogs, but a manageable training program. I’ve become passionate about helping mums and soon to be mums get their dogs in tip top shape to join in on family adventures, and of course keep everyone safe and fulfilled.
I want to keep dogs as active members of the family, and keep moms stress level low(er).

Here he Is! Santino Wetnicka!

I have to say momming is harder than having 16 puppies all at once, but I absolutely love it! I love it so much, and love adding him to our life with our dogs, that Howl Mountain will be shifting focus to working primarily with households looking to prepare their dogs for babies. There will still be 3 spots per month for the aggressive/reactive guys, though!

I’m not quite ready to leave this little guy and get back to work yet but I’ll be taking on a few virtual clients in May. Reach out now to see if your needs are a good fit for virtuals 🙂

And that’s a wrap! Thank you all for a fantastic year of working with your dogs. I will be on maternity leave now! Still...

And that’s a wrap!

Thank you all for a fantastic year of working with your dogs. I will be on maternity leave now! Still unsure of how long I am taking, I may go back early and just take on a few dogs per week, so be sure to reach out!

I will either refer to another trainer, schedule a virtual session to hold you over, or add you to the waitlist for in person sessions once I return- all dependent on the nuances and severity of each case/client.

Emails, voicemails, texts will all be monitored and responded to weekly, other than when I’m actually in the hospital.

As much as I am looking forward to the time off and new chapter of my life, I’m already excited to get back to work next year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Moms with Dogs is officially up on the website!

SO many things I had never thought of before popped into my head when I got pregnant regarding my dogs, their training, and how to meet everyones needs (including my own) when the new baby comes.

If theres one thing I am passionate about, its keeping dogs in their homes safely and successfully - and too many families have to rehome their dogs because they struggle to balance motherhood, work, maintaining a marriage, managing a house, keeping their dogs happy and fulfilled, and all of the other life things.... this is NOT a post to share how you feel about people rehoming dogs. It IS a post to see that a professional is coming up with a solution so that everyones needs are met, and moms sanity is in tact in the process- allowing for more pups stay in their homes when the new members arrive.

anyway, check out the website and share this initiative with anyone who could benefit!

Changing up the bedroom manners now before the baby gets here in December. Will they still be allowed on the bed? Yes, continently. But things have to change for: 🩵The baby’s safety 🩵The dog’s safety 🩵My sanity - this is important and I think it’s forgotten all too often. As a new mom with dogs I have to put myself, my well being, and my sanity is a top priority. Which is why we are preparing for baby 5 months in advance and not waiting for any issues to arise. You all should, too! If you’re an expecting mom, reach out to book your consult so your dog can be a happy and productive member of your growing family. [email protected] 774.239.6600
