Do you remember Max—the traumatized, fearful dog who made such incredible progress during our time together? I still keep in touch with his amazing owner, Dottie, who regularly shares updates about his new life after training. She couldn’t be happier, and neither could I. It’s truly inspiring to see how thoughtful, compassionate training can help a dog with PTSD become a joyful, loving companion. I’m so grateful to have been part of Max’s journey. Watching the transformation in the dogs I train—and seeing how their growth touches the lives of their families—is one of the greatest rewards of this work.

Struggling with Muzzle Training?
This video might help some of my clients understand how to condition a dog to wear a muzzle. Thanos was very resistant at first, but he absolutely loved crate games. To help him adjust, I started incorporating the muzzle into our crate game routine. This method blends crate games with muzzle conditioning, making the experience fun and rewarding. Remember, muzzle training should always be a gradual, positive process that builds comfort and trust.

P.S. Every dog is an individual, so it's always a good idea to consult with a trainer to tailor the approach and make learning this new skill easier for your dog.

Yes, training can make a reactive, aggressive, fearful, or traumatized dog worse — if done incorrectly!!!
Yesterday, I had a conversation with one of my clients whose dog had been struggling with severe reactivity that could quickly spiral into aggression. He shared how hopeless things once felt—especially after working with multiple trainers whose methods only made things worse. Harsh corrections, forced exposure, and one-size-fits-all techniques left his dog more unstable, unpredictable, and scared. But after starting my behavior modification program, everything began to change. His dog wasn’t just behaving better—he was calmer, more connected, and more confident. The client couldn’t believe the transformation. And honestly, I hear this story more often than you’d think. Many people who come to me for help with their adult dogs’ behavior problems have already invested time and money into previous training programs. So why didn’t the earlier training help? Because yes, training can absolutely make things worse—if it’s done wrong. Punishment-based methods, ignoring a dog’s emotional state, or rushing progress can backfire and deepen the very issues we’re trying to fix. The truth is, reactivity, aggression, fear, or trauma need more than obedience—they need trust, empathy, and the right strategy. And when we train with those things in mind, amazing transformations are possible.

Why I Muzzled My Dog for the Vet Visit — and Why You Should Consider It Too!
When I took my Black Russian Terrier, Nikita, to the vet, I knew it might be an uncomfortable visit for her. She’s a sweet girl, but even the most gentle dogs can feel overwhelmed in that strange environment — unfamiliar smells, bright lights, being touched in ways they’re not used to. So before we walked through the clinic doors, I gently slipped on her muzzle. Not because she’s a “bad dog,” but because I wanted to set her up for success. You see, stress can make any dog react in ways they usually wouldn’t. Fear or pain can trigger a reflex — and it only takes a second for a nervous nip to happen. By muzzling Nikita, I was protecting her, the vet staff, and myself. It wasn’t a punishment — it was preparation. We’ve been practicing at home, using treats and praise so that she associates the muzzle with calm, positive experiences. And you know what? She walked in wearing it like a pro. No panic, no struggle — just trust. A well-trained dog and a well-used muzzle can make even the most stressful situations feel a little safer — for everyone.

While cleaning my phone, I found an important training video of Max — a fearful and traumatized dog who had zero confidence and was scared of everything, even cars. Sometimes, we underestimate just how powerful obstacle courses can be for dogs like Max. Walking Max around obstacles like cones, trees, and benches wasn’t just about physical activity — it became a key to building his confidence. Navigating these challenges made him focus on problem-solving instead of fear. Each little success helped him trust me more, seeing me as someone who could safely guide him through scary situations. It also taught Max to become more aware of his body, stepping carefully, weaving through obstacles, and gaining strength with every step. These positive experiences, rewarded with praise helped him associate new things with safety and fun. Most importantly, the obstacles gave Max something safe to focus on, redirecting his attention away from noises, people, or cars that used to overwhelm him. Watching Max grow braver every day reminds me how small steps and patience can change a fearful dog’s whole world.

I was watching Charley, one of my favorite boarding babies, roll around in the grass the other day, and it got me thinking—why do dogs love doing this so much? It turns out, there’s a whole bunch of reasons behind it! For starters, dogs have this wild instinct from their ancestors, wolves, who would roll in different scents to hide their own smell and confuse other animals. Kind of like a natural camouflage! But it’s not just about sneaky smells. Sometimes Charley just needs to scratch an itch or soothe some skin irritation, especially when she’s shedding. The grass acts like a perfect back scratcher. And did you know dogs also use rolling to mark their territory? They have special scent glands on their bodies, so when Charley rolls, she’s actually leaving his unique signature behind. Of course, sometimes it’s just pure fun. Rolling in cool grass feels amazing, especially on a warm day. Plus, dogs sometimes find smells so interesting—or stinky—that they want to carry that scent around with them. Finally, on hot days, rolling helps them cool off by spreading their body heat and letting them soak in the coolness of the grass. So next time you see your dog doing a grass roll, remember there’s a whole story behind that happy little wiggle. For Charley, it’s part instinct, part comfort, and all about joy.

Traumatized Dog: Sensory Overload and Fear of People(OLD VIDEO FROM MY PHONE).
Remember Max. 💔 This is what trauma can look like in a dog.
Learn to read your dog’s body language, be their voice, and protect them from overwhelming social pressure. Give them the space they need—and gently introduce new environments at their own pace. Healing takes time, patience, and trust.
