🚨 Dog Parent Confessions Incoming… 🚨

Does your dog act like:

🐾 “Sit” means spin in a circle first
🐾 “Stay” is optional if there’s a squirrel
🐾 The couch is their throne and you’re just visiting
🐾 Nail trims require a full-blown hostage negotiation
🐾 Or maybe... they're secretly the one training you?

👀 Yep, we’ve all been there. And no—your dog isn’t “bad,” and you’re not failing.
They’re just speaking Dog—and you’re speaking Human.

Lucky for you… I’m fluent in both. 💬🐾

Hey, I’m Reno—professional dog trainer, behavior decoder, and your local K9 translator based in Harrisville, MI.
At Reno’s K-9 Language, I help turn chaos into calm with:

✅ Puppy training (and reining in the cute tornado)
✅ Obedience that actually works
✅ Leash manners without the street skiing
✅ Multi-dog household balance
✅ And fully customized, in-home training sessions

📲 Message this page today to chat about your dog’s behavior, goals, and what’s actually possible (spoiler: it’s a lot!).

Let’s get your dog back on the same page as you—before they eat another shoe. 😅🐕‍🦺

🌟 Evie’s Training Spotlight! 🌟
Let’s give some love to Evie, one half of an energetic 8-month-old Prince Charles duo who’s doing an amazing job in her training journey! 🐾💥

Today was Evie’s second session, and while it took her a little longer than her sister Lily to catch on, it was such a powerful moment to witness her problem-solve in real time. Watching her process what was expected, figure it out, and then follow through—it’s what makes training so rewarding!

In the video, you’ll see the very beginning of her learning. At that point, I could only move a short distance away before needing to return and reward her. But as we kept working, Evie nailed her “stay”—holding it beautifully even as I walked all the way around the living room and back. And when her mom stepped in to work with her? Evie was an absolute pro. 💪🐶

All of this happened in just one hour. That’s the power of breaking things down into small, clear steps and communicating in a way dogs actually understand. I also spent time teaching their mom how to “speak dog,” and once that clicked, it opened a whole new level of teamwork between them.

Evie is a cute little firecracker who loves to work, loves to learn, and brings so much energy and joy into every session. Both she and Lily are total rockstars—and they’re only going to get better with practice! 🎯

Show Evie some love and encouragement in the comments—she’s earning every bit of it! 💕

🌟 Lily’s Training Update! 🌟
Say hello again to sweet Lily, an 8-month-old Prince Charles pup who’s making incredible progress! 🐾

Today was her second session, and this little lady is thriving. She went from pulling like crazy on the leash to now showing off a beautiful loose-leash heel—it’s so rewarding to see how quickly she's catching on!

We also focused on her “stay” command—something both she and her sister struggled with in the beginning. At first, I could barely take half a step away before needing to reward them. But now? Lily held her stay while I walked all the way around the living room and back—what a champ! 🙌

And if you catch the video from today, you’ll hear her mom and I giggle because Lily did a little sneeze—but that wasn’t just a sneeze. That was Lily communicating. Dogs often sneeze when they’re being playful or lightening the mood—it was her way of saying, “I’m not too serious, just having fun here!” 💬🐶

One of the coolest parts of this journey is teaching owners how to recognize their dog’s language. Once I start pointing it out, they begin noticing all the subtle ways their dog has always been communicating—they just didn’t know what to look for. It opens up a whole new level of understanding, trust, and connection. 🧠💡

Training is more than just obedience—it’s learning a whole new way to speak with your dog. And Lily is doing phenomenal. Give her some love in the comments and stay tuned for more updates on her progress! 💖

🐾 Buddy Update! 🐾

Our boy Buddy has been hard at work in his training program—and we’re so proud of how far he’s come already! 💪

Buddy is a high-energy, full-of-life pup who keeps everyone on their toes, but his dedicated family is putting in the time, effort, and love to help him become the best version of himself. Originally signed up for 5 sessions, we’ve extended to 6 due to last week’s heat—and after seeing his amazing progress, his mom just signed him up for 3 more sessions to keep the momentum going!

Today was a big day: ✨ He worked on crate training
✨ Tackled impulse control outside (those chipmunks and birds don’t stand a chance at distracting him for long!)
✨ Practiced his loose-leash heel outside, building on the great foundation we created indoors
✨ Focused on sit and stay, even with distractions

And get this—Buddy also had a huge win with his nail trim! 🐾
This guy went from needing two people to hold him down to calmly letting me (Reno) trim all four paws in under 20 minutes using a new, gentle method we introduced in training. Talk about growth!

I was so hands-on today that I forgot to take photos and videos—except for one! 📸 But trust me, Buddy is thriving, and I couldn't be more proud.

Let’s give Buddy some love and encouragement in the comments—he’s earning every bit of it! 💙🐶

🕶️ Wrenley’s Rockin’ Her Shades! 🕶️
…But like everything in a dog’s world — it comes with training! 💪🐾

Sweet Wrenley wanted to show off her brand-new sunglasses today, and of course, she looks absolutely adorable! 😍 But what you don’t see in the photo is the work behind that moment.

Just like with any new gear — whether it’s harnesses, booties, goggles, or vests — you can’t expect a dog to just wear something they’ve never experienced before and be okay with it. Dogs need patience, practice, and positive reinforcement to feel truly comfortable.

Wrenley is now working on building a positive association with her glasses — short wear times, lots of praise, and making sure it’s always a fun and safe experience. She’s doing amazing!

Because training isn’t just about obedience —
It’s about confidence, trust, and communication.

Go Wrenley girl — you’re not just stylish, you’re smart too! 😎💜

🐾 Trudy the Remarkable Corgi 🐾

This sweet 4.5-year-old Corgi is in the middle of a truly inspiring transformation! Trudy came from a home with 13 other dogs, and unfortunately had very little to no training. When her new mom brought her home, she was struggling with severe reactivity — barking constantly at every little noise, racing to the door, and getting overwhelmed by the world around her.

Her mom reached out, determined to help Trudy learn how to settle, walk calmly on leash, and just feel more balanced and at ease in her home.

Trudy is now enrolled in a 5-week obedience program, and she just completed her second session — and let me tell you, she’s already making incredible progress! 🐾✨

✅ She now has a beautiful loose-leash heel that everyone is enjoying — especially Mom during their walks.
✅ She already had a basic idea of the “stay” command, so in session two, we upped the challenge to include distractions.

At first, she struggled with it (understandably!), but once I clearly showed her the expectation — Trudy locked in. We were able to: 🔹 Knock on windows
🔹 Walk in and out of doors
🔹 Tap, talk, and make noise…
…and Trudy didn’t budge. She stayed rock solid.

This little girl is smart, strong-willed, and now — thanks to a very dedicated mom — she’s learning to channel that energy into focus, trust, and obedience.

✨ Follow along on Trudy’s journey — she’s living proof that it’s never too late for a fresh start and a better life.

🐾 Abby the Superstar! 🐾

This gorgeous Husky mix just wrapped up her second training session, and she’s already making big moves — especially on her "stay" command, which was a tough one for her at first!

When we began working together, Abby was pure energy — full of life, bouncing all over the place, and ready for anything except holding still 😄

At the start of our session, I could barely turn a half step away from her without her popping up… but once it clicked, she nailed it like the smart girl she is. Her ability to catch on so quickly shows just how brilliant and eager she is to learn.

💥 In just one short week, Abby has also developed a beautiful loose-leash heel — which her dad especially loves during their multiple daily walks. It's been a total game-changer for both of them.

Her parents are so committed to her success, and it shows. With their love and consistency, Abby is on her way to becoming the best version of herself — and it’s such a joy to watch it unfold.

💫 Keep an eye on Abby’s journey… she’s a total superstar in the making!

🐾 Brayden's Breakthrough 🐾

Meet Brayden, an 11-year-old Chihuahua who just completed his third training session focused on confidence building — and let me tell you, this little guy is starting to shine. ✨

Brayden was adopted into a loving home after years of being extremely skittish, fearful, and unsure of the world around him. His new mom has shown incredible dedication, pouring her heart into helping him feel safe, seen, and supported.

At our second session, she admitted she was worried he might not be able to change… but Brayden had other plans.

When I walked in for session three, he did something he’s never done before: 🐾 Greeted me excitedly from the couch
🐾 Jumped down and came back again — tail wagging
🐾 Didn’t hide under the table like usual
🐾 Looked up at me, ready to “work” — a sign he understands we’re building trust together

He’s now taking beautiful, rewarding walks with Mom again — walking in a loose-leash heel, engaged and proud. The joy in both of them is impossible to miss.

Progress like Brayden’s takes time. But every tiny step forward is a massive victory for a dog who once hid from the world.

💛 Here's to the slow but beautiful process of healing.
And to Brayden, whose tail is finally wagging — and whose heart is learning it’s safe to open.

🌡️🐾 HEAT EXHAUSTION & HEAT STROKE IN DOGS – Know the Signs Before It's Too Late! 🐾🌡️
Hot days can be dangerous for dogs. They can't cool off like we do and can overheat much faster than people realize — even in the shade or during a short walk.
👉 Here’s what every dog owner needs to watch for:
🚩 Early Signs of Heat Exhaustion:
• Excessive panting
• Panting with a long, engorged tongue
• "Spoon tongue" (cupped downward at the tip)
• Tongue hanging to one side
• Heavy drooling or thick saliva
• Red or pale gums
• Weakness or stumbling
• Lethargy or confusion
• Vomiting or diarrhea
🚨 Signs of Heat Stroke (This is an Emergency!):
• Body temperature over 104°F
• Rapid, labored breathing
• Collapse or seizures
• Blue or brick-red gums
• Unconsciousness
🔥 IMPORTANT COOLING TIPS — DO IT SAFELY! 🔥
✅ Move your dog to a cool, shaded area immediately
✅ Offer cool (not ice cold!) water
✅ Wet only their paw pads and belly — never soak their entire body
🚫 Soaking their whole body can trap heat under their fur and act like an oven
✅ In severe cases, apply rubbing alcohol to paw pads to help draw out heat faster
✅ Use a fan to help bring their temperature down
📞 Call your vet or emergency clinic immediately!
🐶 Prevention Is Key:
• Walk dogs early morning or after sundown
• Always have access to fresh water
• Never leave your dog in a vehicle, even for a few minutes
• Know your dog’s limits—short-nosed breeds (like Bulldogs, Pugs, Boxers) are especially vulnerable
•
Your dog relies on YOU to notice the signs. Share this post to help keep our dogs safe this summer! ❤️🐕
