Take One Dog Training & Talent

Time to resurrect this page‼️

In the new year I changed from working part time in the film industry to working full time.
I’m so very grateful to have worked on a number of amazing television and commercial projects already this year and I’m looking forward to the upcoming ones.

I don’t teach classes anymore but I am available for private lessons when time allows and those interested can PM me here or on one of my other pages.

I’m currently working on obedience with Hades
Aiming to have him ready for the Novice Obedience and Rally rings next spring.
Of course I’m always working on new tricks with him as well and my goal is for him to earn his Champion and Grand Champion titles this year.

We just recently started working on the Cue Card trick (as seen in this video).

I hope you enjoy the video and I will be sure to post the progression of it.
Currently the cues I’m giving him are glaringly obvious but by the time it’s done they’ll be harder to detect.

What’s the trick you’re currently teaching your dog? Please share in the comments.

Cheers to training 🐾

Had a great day working on a commercial 😊
Got to work with Jimmy today, everyone loved him and he worked awesome(his mom Barbara Hansen has put a lot of time into training him).

Great dog, nice people and good food what’s not to love!?

Will share the commercial once it’s released

🎥 Casting call‼️🎥
Looking for a large dog with a great cued speak (that means they can do it every time you ask) and must be quiet the moment they’re asked after barking.
Not easy for every dog but there’s gotta be a few that have it 😊
Please send pics and video to me if you have such a dog and are interested in having them do a scene on a tv series 🎬

Location: Vancouver, Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley

Thank you 😊

Up at 3 this morning to arrive for crew breakfast at 6 before my call time of 7 am
Working on a commercial shoot today out front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Been a long time since I’ve been in Vancouver even though I don’t live that far away.
Working with a friends dog Cooper. He’s a cute and clever little guy.
He rocked his scene and hoping to be wrapped by noon 🤞

Roommates‼️
So my roomies where up at 3 this morning having a party 😩 They tried pulling my blankets off to get me to come join them 😡
They finally went back to sleep but now they probably are going to sleep on and off for the rest of the day. They had promised to help clean our room but they’re really never helpful 🤪 They’re always wanting to borrow my clothes. Even when I’m wearing them🙄
If I’m not careful about putting my stuff away they’ll steal it 😳
When I try to talk to them about it they just look at me and act all innocent. They make me feel like it’s me that has the problem 🤷‍♀️
It’s a good thing that they are so incredibly cute or they would have already received an eviction notice 🤣🤣🤣

If you struggling with a roommate/s like this follow along for helpful puppy management and training tips.
Need extra help sign up for one of my classes at tntkennels.com

Leave me a message or text 236-332-1447 if you’re interested in a private lesson in person or on Zoom

When you’re bestie knows you feed your puppy’s by hand and have OCD about how things are done.
So she sends a confessional video about not doing it while babysitting last night and try’s to blame it on the sweet little baby puppies 🤣🤣
