balanced and behaved dog training
"It's the micro-mini moments that matter the most"  ~  
I've coined this because I've said it a million times it's always the small stuff!!  ~ BBDT

Training Together 
at your home

​I 100% use psychology teaching you what a puppy or dog needs and how they see the world so you can show up for them no matter where they are in their development or unwanted behaviors you may want to curb. 
​I train in your home it's the most safest place & the most open your dog can be. 


​I teach trust and become the bridge for you to walk across to build the same type of trust.  

Puppies and Dogs 

Picture
​​

​Puppies and dogs I approach in the same manner
Except puppies are at a different stage of development 
Puppies are more flexible to follow, grow, learn and change
Dogs are committed to running their family/pack about 2 years of age
Dogs can change you have to prove your worth following 
I like to fill your cup with so much knowledge you can continue to grow together
After a bit of time if needed we can line back up or do advanced off leash work


Leash Conversation

Picture
Leash conversations
Being in the pocket
​Aware of every time you hold a leash and how to show up
Slight of hand very delicate moments
Create big meaning to your dog
​By showing up properly
You put the responsibility on your dog
To learn, think, follow and cope properly

Which building confidence in you and him/herself  
With clear expectations of what the world means​


Commands

Picture

​Commands to communicate clear expectations 
Lets Go ~ some say heel it means follow me
Sit
Down
Place
Stay
Come
We use them in combinations
We begin with treats to motivate & mold behaviors
Once a dog knows what's expected we ask without treats
No treats serves the dogs mind
The dog is actually thinking, learning and growing.  




Tools

Picture
Tools ~ Herm Sprenger 2.25 or small pinch collar
I use them for clarity of our leash communication
with the softest of hand
with feather like pressure
on the smallest lightweight pinch
regardless of the size of your dog
unless your dog warrants a larger collar though it is rare 


Picture
Ecollar ~ Mini Educator
This tool goes from 0-100
We begin on your dogs working number usually 4 or 5
On my bare arm I BEGIN to feel a stem on 9 or 10
We compound all the leash work prior
creating
clarity with minimal corrections
working to off leash recall as well as impulse control in situations. 


I do not correct to get behavior, I teach behavior and correct only once a dog knows the info and is making a choice. 



Outside influence

Picture
​
I also work with Doggy Day Cares
for there are times when a dog needs to be a dog and loosen up
We will never be a dog therefore balanced dog play is so valuable
as well as experiencing balanced pack energy
It fills a dogs soul for sure




Picture
​​
There are times when a dog needs to learn outside the home
​Because of large unwanted behaviors & personality indifference
Their definition of who they are in the home is too strong
I can absolutely refer you to a trusted source

​There are times when I am called to work a specific dog yet there are more then one dog in the household.  Unless the dog is old or totally insignificant to the situation which is rare there needs to be balance in the pack. 
So although we may be working through issues with one we ultimately work the house dogs at least at a minimum.
