PORKCHOP (affectionately called Wolfie):

Porkchop came into the shelter extremely fearful with 8 other husky mixes. They were left behind in a backyard when someone moved and could not take them all. Porkchop being the youngest, had the least amount of socialization which caused him to be extremely fearful and reactive in the shelter. His quality of life started to diminish and he was put on the euthanasia list. This is no fault to the shelter. This is unfortunately the result of people not being responsible for the pets they produce and leave behind. In turn, setting them up for failure.

I saw his fluffy ears and decided to pull him when I saw him posted on Colleton County’s Instagram as URGENT.

The day he was scheduled to be euthanized I picked him up from the shelter. Although extremely fearful, I quickly figured out the last thing he would ever want to do is bite or harm anyone. The progress from Porkchop has been amazing to watch as he is able to be handled by anyone and everyone that has come to work with him. Porkchop loves his leisurely walks and training with myself and the other trainers that work with him. He loves to chase me around when I tell him he did the right thing and loves his victory laps! He is truly a sweet soul that was highly misunderstood.

Porkchop is dog social and has been around all types of dogs, big, little, male and female.

He is officially ready to find his person! Here are a list of things he knows! And is continuing to learn:

⭐️ Sit, Down, Place, come (working on duration now!)
⭐️ Dog Social
⭐️ Neutral in public (no reactivity to humans or dogs)
⭐️ A hike in the woods is his Super Bowl. This is where he loves to be!
⭐️ Crate trained
⭐️ No kids under 12 (not because of aggression, more because he can get scared easy and hasn’t seen very little children)
⭐️ Cats (unsure) ❓
⭐️ FREE TRAINING FOR LIFE provided by his foster.

As a trainer, this dog has taught me so much and I am forever grateful to him for that. Seeing the light and personality come back into his eyes has been so wonderful to see.

and you save this dogs life by advocating for him. 🩷

Stop comparing your dogs that go to doggy day cares and dog parks!

We have to stop thinking this is the gold standard of dog ownership. The gold standard is taking your dog out to play dates that suit your dog’s sociability, getting on a trail where you spend time together, playing with your dog, and so many other amazing things you can do without overstimulating and creating bad behaviors.

It kills me to hear people think their dogs are less than because they can’t enter a disease infested dog park, when the dog is more than capable taking a hike on a trail with their owner and enjoy that so much more 🩷

If there’s one thing I promise to do when training your dog is to tell you how much potential they have and the amazing things they CAN DO!

Clips from Maize board and train!

I might have used some rotisserie chicken in the beginning first 2/3 days and we both decided it was not suiting the results I wanted and I truly didn’t think it was helping her get through hard things.

Insert cooperative play and tug and a solid “out”. We have a more confident dog! This was the least amount of food I ever used in a board and train and I love the emotion of every behavior she gives me.

Did you know, most ER visits and dog bites happen over the Holidays?

Some factors that contribute to this:

⭐️ being more lax and generally more busy
⭐️ less time giving dogs what they need
⭐️ holiday stress
⭐️ strangers coming in and out of home
⭐️ DRINKING! When you drink, your body language and awareness changes. That can truly freak dogs out.
Also, you are not being as aware of what’s going on so dogs tend to get into things they shouldn’t and you don’t realize.

If it sounds like you might need some guidance on how to navigate the Holidays with your dog, we are here to help!

START WITH PLAY!

What does your dog enjoy?
What motivates them?
Constantly feeding them “puzzles” to tire them out and not doing anything else will not work.
Don’t let that be your default.
Dogs were not made to be couch potatoes, yes even the small dogs.
Genuinely interact with your dog and PLAY!

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🤩

KOKO THE KLEE KAI

Koko came to me reactive to people and dogs. Anyone that came into his house he would try to bite, lunge and scream. When I meet clients dogs my job isn’t to say “your dog is broken, I’ll do my best”. My job is for the dog and their family to live the best lives possible, happy and safely.

My goals will always be to release the true potential that each dog has. I make sure to emphasize follow through on what you ask the dog but also, playing and interacting authentically with your dog when they go home.

Immediately when I met Koko, I made sure to tell his owners how awesome their dog was. He is spunky, has a ton of prey drive and truly is just a dog that needs an outlet and to be told what is and isn’t acceptable.

Koko’s follow up was amazing to see! Owners following through is my biggest thing when I send a dog home and I was so glad to see how well he was doing. His owner was still afraid to drop his leash so we let him and my dog Billy Jeanne run around like crazy dogs and he did amazing.

I look forward to continue to see Koko’s progress!
