IT'S YOUR DOG School for Dogs

“Team Ziggy” upon completing a round of private lessons to work on potty training, leash walking and basic manners 101. Congratulations!

Yesterday’s awesome graduates - Team Ethel - seen here with her sister Lucy and devoted Dad. Together, we resolved stubborn potty training issues and worked on leash walking, recall, “Wait” at the doors and sound desensitization. More to come as we prepare these pups for the stork’s arrival.

Congrats to Team “Luna” on their training accomplishments. Luna is now able to walk past people and remain calm (she’s overly friendly) and now jumps into the car on her own (no more lifting). Looking forward to working with Team Luna again in the near future.

Today’s graduate is Finnegan 🥳. Finn is a rescue with a deep-seeded fear of the unknown. Thank goodness he found this trio of ladies who accept him for who he is and patiently support him on his journey. Finn has learned how to have some fun and enjoys indoor hide-n-seek, walks in secluded areas and agility jumps. He also learned a few basics, such as Sit, Down and Touch.

Please join me in congratulating our latest Day Training graduates, Beast (black) and Belle and their devoted Mom and Dad 🎉. This tail-wagging duo was coached on food bowl etiquette, recall, no jump, wait at the door and lay down. Beast also learned to be less pushy toward Belle.

Kudos to “Team Indy” on their progress with door greetings/exits and leash reactivity. Keep up the great work!

“Team Norje” finished up in-home sessions for fear and basic manners, including leash-walking and recall. Next step for this Team is to apply what we learned around moving distractions. Congratulations 🎉 Kristen and Norje!

Team Layla completed a group of in-home sessions to focus on unwanted behaviors during greetings, leavings and mealtime. Please join me in congratulating this Team on their hard work and successes!

Please join me in congratulating “Team Daisy” on completing our 3-week Day Training program. We focused on solutions for puppy mouthing and indiscriminate consumption (everything goes in the mouth) and established a foundation for leash walking and “wait” at the door. This little sweetie is off to a great start!

Our latest Out & About class after a group walk and recall practice. Stay tuned for more adventures, resuming in August!

Congratulations Michelle, Pierre & Roxie on all of your training accomplishments! “Team Roxie” learned leash walking, wait and car ramp skills. We coined our time together “varying degrees of lunacy.”

Congratulations 🎉 to “Wonka” and family on completing 3-weeks of Day Training focusing on potty training, “Drop-It” and impulse control and relaxation around cats/toddler. Next up …. socialization outside the home.

Team “Oreo” has been hard at work prepping for the next chapter of their lives in Switzerland 🇨🇭 … Oreo has lots of changes ahead of him but his family now has the tools to help him adjust. Can’t wait to hear more on this Team’s progress.

Congratulations to Kim on all her hard work helping “Tristan” become more comfortable with other dogs on walks. And equally as impressive is Tristan’s ability to rekindle his puppy friendship with “Emile” (lab). Gotta love happy endings 💕

Congratulations to “Team Winter” on all of their accomplishments thru rain, sleet and snow! Winter can now walk on leash and greet people with a respectable level of civility. Despite a few setbacks from off-leash dog encounters in the neighborhood (UGH!), Winter is learning how to curb his enthusiasm when he sees other dogs. A shout out to helper dog, “Winston” on being so cool!

Our most recent graduates, Tank (L) and Tucker, seem to know they’ve accomplished great things - with the help of their Mom and Dad. Just look at those smiles!

Congratulations to “Oprah” and her family on all of their accomplishments during our sessions - ✅ potty training ✅ “touch” (as recall &/or to call off kids) ✅ “drop” ✅ and home management techniques. I look forward to working with Team Oprah in the future too!

Meet “Team Sebastian”! Pam and Ed have discovered new ways to support Sebastian (red bandana) when guests are around. His sister, Stella, provides emotional support as well. Congratulations on your accomplishments!

My friends Tara and “Mena” completed their first round of training sessions for leash walking and focus. Mena wants all people to love her and makes a squealing sound when she can’t contain her excitement. Same for other dogs. We’re working on lowering her arousal so she’s not misunderstood.

Yesterday’s graduates “JJ” (L), “Molly” and Don, their loyal Dad 🎓 This Team worked through barrier frustration and the pups are happily integrated into their new digs! Congratulations 🎉

I’ll be observing my dog Jasper, who was behaviorally affected by the 14 hour power outage the other night. So if you’re like me and are staying local with your animals on April 8, why not pass your observations along in the name of science. Click below to learn more.

Toby is a sweet, lovable guy who has a history of using his enormity to get where he wants when he wants. Congratulations 🎉 to Team “Toby” for all of their hard work in establishing better leash walking and recall skills. Toby will begin training for separation anxiety next month.

For those of you who may not be familiar, Peggy and Molly have been enchanting followers for the past 4 years. I tune in regularly to watch the inter-species love between 2 staffies and an orphaned magpie in Australia. Unfortunately, bureaucracy recently got involved and has removed Molly from her home. Here’s a petition to sign if you’re interested. If not, at least you can watch the antics of this awesome trio …You’re Welcome!
