Okay whoever made these treats from pet supply plus… maybe this wasn’t your calling 😂 this dog eats everything. In fact not a single dog would touch it. So I’m a bit concerned 😂 Kennedy has been begging to celebrate this birthday all day and we finally made it home to celebrate 🎉 happy birthday Roo! Don’t you worry- I’ve got a stash of your favorite bones!

Your favorite dog trainer doubling as a baby trainer. 😂 proof that physical and mental stimulation works on both kids and dogs and most of the time they aren’t out of control dogs or kids - they are just under worked and it comes out looking like chaos / reactivity/ outbursts and tantrums.

Nothing beats a warm-ish December night - bike ride with the dogs to burn off some of the bite outta the working crew. A relaxing day followed by a relaxing night. These guys were actually hauling butt and I was struggling to keep up at 20 mph. So when you think you can get a working dog and they will be happy just being a couch potato - think again. Most of the time I see people tell me that they were sold a pet dog - in reality they were sold a working quality dog and they really struggle to meet the dogs needs both mentally and physically. The owners are left feeling frustrated and hopeless because they have something in front of them that is quite different than what they were promised. All we can do is do better at the next dog purchase/ research more/ meet our dogs mental and physical needs and help them to adjust to living an indoor dog lifestyle. No amount of puzzles are going to burn off the same energy that fulfilling your dogs breed requirements will. While a puzzle might be good every now and then it definitely shouldn’t be used daily or in place of genetic fulfillment.

Exercise is beneficial for all dogs. Many dogs are labeled as *difficult*, *aggressive*, *fearful*, or *hard to handle*, and often this stems from their mental and physical needs not being met.

We sometimes choose dogs that don’t fit our lifestyle or select unstable dogs from backyard breeding. However, this doesn’t mean we can’t improve the situation.

I am here to:
1. Help train you
2. Help exercise your dog

Most of the dogs that come to me have a history of reactivity or even biting. Many couldn’t be around other dogs without being muzzled. So, why can they be around other dogs now without muzzles?

The answer is boundaries, training, and exercise. When dogs are pent up and don’t get enough exercise, they tend to have a more reactive temperament.

Therefore, physical exercise will be an essential part of your dog’s life going forward. It’s not a magical solution where you hand your dog off for training, go home, and expect everything to change without making any adjustments or meeting your dog’s needs. That kind of solution doesn’t exist. If someone offers that to you, run in the opposite direction.

Change only happens when you are willing to put in the work. 🤷‍♀️
