Train hard, snooze harder. This angel crushed her intro to loose leash walking and earned every Z before snuggling into her beddies. Dream big, tiny pro 💕🐕😴

Perfect sweet Ruby ♥️
While working with rescue dogs is incredibly rewarding, there’s a special kind of joy in meeting a well-bred puppy from a responsible breeder. Ruby acclimated to her new home beautifully and bonded with her family almost instantly. She sleeps through the night like a little angel; with no crying at all, she’s curious, bold, and explores her world with confidence and is having a lot of fun doing it.

She’s already mastering her foundation skills and will no doubt continue bringing even more joy to her people (though it’s hard to imagine their hearts getting any fuller; she’s already melted all four!).

P.S. Check out my website for the new Puppy Foundations package; everything you need to set your puppy up for long-term success!

Happy (belated) ! I was too busy running around New York with pups in the sun and the rain, but today, I’m celebrating all the amazing rescue pups who’ve left paw prints on my heart. ❤️ 🐾

Swipe to see some of the legends I’ve fostered with the incredible plus a few I met along the way at adoption events. I’m so proud and immensely happy to be able to work professionally as a certified dog behaviorist and trainer with many rescue dogs all these years later 🥲

Petrusinski, Sweet Pea, Pranut, Cloudy B, OG Bun, Senior Fuzz Butt… it all started with you. I’ll never forget you 💛🐶

The Good Behaviorist client highlight: Bacho 😍

Meet this handsome boy! 🐾 Bacho, a delightful pittie mix, is overflowing with love but has been struggling with leash reactivity during walks, and being a ‘velcro dog’ at home. With a few tweaks to his environment and some guidance on shifting his focus to positive behaviors, Bacho is already showing remarkable progress on his journey to unleashing his best self and sharing his wonderful personality with the world 🥹 A heartfelt shoutout to Bacho’s loving and patient mom for her dedication and support!

The Good Behaviorist client highlight : Macbeth 💞

This serious looking young man (with a very serious name) is but a bundle of joy and pure happiness. He is the gentlest, most relaxed Siberian Husky pup who’s acing everything we approach in his learning process (crate-training, basic puppy obedience, puppy-bite inhibition, impulse control). He is just as smart as he is adorable ❣️A big shout out to his parents for a wonderful approach and unmatched consistency in their work with him when I’m not around.
