If you’re struggling with your dog right now, sometimes the answer isn’t more training; it’s adjusting the training.

Dogs are individuals. What works for one dog may overwhelm another.

Good training is about adapting and adjusting the plan to support the dog in front of you.

Sometimes progress looks like:
• more distance
• lower expectations
• shorter walks
• more rest
• less pressure
• more safety

Training should build trust, not just compliance. ❤️

Thank you for this gorgeous collab 😘

Would you look at sweet Jake and that frosty mug! He spent two long years waiting in a Florida shelter without anyone choosing him, so brought him to Massachusetts to find his people. I’m smitten with this 9-year-old dreamboat!

Jake loves meeting new people, rides happily in the car, and is always ready for a walk followed by a long stretch of cozy couch time. He’s affectionate, easygoing, and absolutely convinced he belongs as close to his person as possible (preferably leaning on you—or sitting in your lap if you’ll allow it!). He’s housetrained and can relax at home.

He recently enjoyed a field trip to Boston, where he handled all the sights and sounds with curiosity and ease. Did I mention that other dogs are A-okay by Jake?

Jake has some sensitive skin and allergies, which are currently managed well with a prescription diet and medication routine. Now he’s feeling great and ready to focus on finding his forever people.

Jake’s adoption fee is sponsored by and his first training session and scholarship to Recall for a Meatball are sponsored by Lizzy and the Good Dog People!

If you have any doubt about the incredibly satisfying and meaningful choice to adopt a senior, reach out for reassurance. I’m here for it! ❤️

There are a variety of internal and environmental factors that can affect dogs who negotiate reactivity. My friend Modern Manners Dog Training breaks it down beautifully here!

Here are a few from Tuck, Finch and Idgie’s list: shredding paper, chances to sniff inside the fridge when the door is open, digging in actual dirt, time alone, room to run around, less loud noise, growly play, soft blankets, “legal” objects to chew on, time to lay in the sun, novel experiences, a varied diet, safety from unwanted handling, a predictable home environment, multiple comfortable places to rest.

When you observe your dog, what are they telling you? What gets in the way of your honoring and acting on what you learn?

We love you. Xo

Friends, I want you to meet a very special dog named…Lizzy!

She’s a 61 lb, 5-year-old scruffy sweetheart. Lizzy enjoys other dogs, bouncy balls, and is especially good at “drop it.” She’s playful, and social, making her a wonderful buddy for an active, dog-loving home with older kids or just adults. (No littles, please.)

Right now, Lizzy is sometimes nervous around new people, but I will guide her adopter through protocols to help Lizzy feel safe and more comfortable around strangers. I’m donating an Initial Consultation to her adopter, so they can settle in successfully. Lizzy also comes with a scholarship to my live, virtual class, Recall for a Meatball, where she will learn to come when called reliably, and you will learn about rewards-based training, using humane equipment, and more!

If Lizzy the Dog speaks to your heart, please reach out to Baypath Humane in Hopkinton, MA, to apply for adoption.
