Looking for something fun to do in the comfort of your own home while still helping your dog with their arousal challenges???

Classes start tomorrow!

Here's a snippet of Runa's first Dance Party! She's so stinking cute that I wanted to share her with everyone 💕

Dance parties are a part of my class B3008: Using Play and Games to Teach the Skill of Arousal Modulation

Each week I'll give you new games to play and games that build on the last week's. There will be beginner versions and advanced versions, so all ages and experience levels are welcome. We will evaluate which games are best for you and your dog and go from there!

Gold has sold out, but there are Silver and Bronze spots ❤️

A topic I am passionate about is teaching dogs how to tell us when something's too scary, too hard, or too much — without needing to leave, go sniff, or (for the bitey ones) use their teeth 🤣

Join me tomorrow for a webinar on opt-outs. Can't make it live? Yep — it's recorded, so you can watch later🎥

12 weeks old today!

Do you allow your dogs on the couch? On your bed?

I do! And its totally ok :) People often act shy when I ask if their dog is allowed on the couch or where their dog sleeps at night.

Regardless of what you might have heard, where your dog rests has zero impact on things like recall, leash reactivity, etc. Cuddling and bonding together can actually make things better ❤️

I love that Ive been dog training long enough to meet people with their 'next' dog. Little Indy hit the jackpot in her new home and has some pretty big shoes to fill. We got together today just for a check in and to tweak a few puppy behaviours 🥰🥰🥰

"How many tricks does your dog know?"

I ask this a lot :) It's not about the tricks themselves. The more "tricks" your dog knows, the bigger your communication toolbox gets.

Tricks can be shake a paw and spin in circles, or regular ones like sit and down. When we train tricks — or operant behaviours — we're building our communication toolbox.

If you have big goals with your dog, or if you are working through behaviour challenges, the more tools in your toolbox, the easier things will be!

Here's Runa's very first session, learning to touch my empty hand with her nose 🐾

Runa is learning to be a truffle dog! I made this box for imprinting odor.

Today, and for the next while, I'll be teaching her that the truffle odor predicts food, and then how to indicate. Scent work of any kind is excellent for pups and dogs with big feelings.

Separate from this training, she is learning searching skills that will help her here and in SAR. Good little puppy ♥️♥️

Thank you to for the truffle dog starter kit ❤️

Here Runa is learning foundations for fitness training to prevent injuries, but she is also learning:
🐾 self control around food
🐾 a default stand
A default stand is one of the most valuable things I learned when I took the KPA course. This is the KEY to having a dog who can wait for instructions rather than demand bark or throw behaviour after behaviour at you ♥️♥️

You may have heard.... we have a new PUPPY!!!!

💕 Welcome Runa to the family 💕

Runa is a performance-bred Labrador Retriever who will be my adventure buddy, compete in a few sports, and hopefully one day be a validated Search and Rescue Dog.

Stay tuned for many Runa updates. I am recording her training as we go so I will be able to share our journey from 8 week old puppy to wherever wee end up!
