Shih Tzu, Winston, has been working hard at building his confidence so he can enjoy more outings with his moms! He gets nervous with lots of sounds and commotion, and having a “place” to target has helped ground him. We’re so proud of all the work Winston’s pawrents have put in. The hard work really shines through, and now he can enjoy more outings and go on walks without fear of giant shrubs or trash cans! Amazing work, Team Winston!! 👏

Meet Ollie Bear! Ollie is a recently adopted rescue dog that is working on building his confidence. At first, Ollie was worried and unsure about leaving his home, but with patience, consistency, and lots of dedication from his mom, Ollie’s world is slowly expanding! Great job, team Ollie 🙌🥰

Cavapoo puppies, Max and Lucy, doing a great job with sitting politely for greetings!

It’s easy to want to give puppies love and let them jump up and kiss you all over, but that behavior can quickly become overwhelming as your puppy gets bigger! Start them off on the right foot by encouraging calm interactions with new people and dogs. Once they have that down, it’s okay to jump up and give kisses… but only when invited to!

💭Did you know?💭 The best time to start training your puppy is as soon as you bring them home! It’s never too early to start training, and SO MUCH happens in a puppy’s development before 6 months old.

Welcome Doberman puppy, Rocco, to training! It is so much fun watching puppies figure out the world 🥰

Congratulations to Dalmatian, Zim, and his mom for passing their AKC Canine Good Citizen test! 👏 He’s going to be an amazing therapy dog ☺️

The Canine Good Citizen test sets a standard for well-mannered dogs. It’s often a prerequisite for therapy dog work. 🐾🏥

The “place” command is defined by a physical boundary and can include many different types of “places!” Izmir is demonstrating “place” in a box, and sure looks proud of himself too!

🌟Trainer Spotlight! Meet Rolando🌟

My career with dogs began in 2016 as a Military Working Dog (MWD) Handler in the Marine Corps. I worked as a Specialized Search Dog (SSD) handler with my partner, K9 “Eddie,” stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Throughout my military career as a dog handler, I traveled with Eddie to work/train in Iwakuni, South Korea, Arizona, and California. I worked with over 30 handlers and their dogs, eventually going on to coach and train new MWD handler/dog teams to the highest standard.

After my time with the military, I got a job in security with a new K9 partner, “Oz II,” an explosive detection dog (EDC). Oz and I do explosive detection work for major teams, including the Houston Astros, Houston Texans, and Arizona Cardinals. We also screen cargo to keep the public safe, screening thousands of pieces of freight to search for explosives before getting shipped out of IAH and other airports in the state of Texas. When not working in explosives detection, I’ve also continued my dog training career working with pet dogs and their families in basic obedience and behavior modification, and I specialize in working with anxiety, fear, and aggression cases.

I’m always continuing to learn and grow as a trainer, and in my free time, I enjoy obedience and hunting retriever training with my labs. I also volunteer with my retired Military Working Dog, Eddie, through visiting facilities such as assisted living homes to bring comfort to those in need.

🌟Trainer Spotlight! Meet the Owner🌟

My name is Mindy and my dog training journey began in 2012 when I adopted my first dog, a fearful mixed breed named Maple. I realized there was a need to better understand shelter dog behavior after adopting her, and began helping at local animal shelters to walk dogs and provide enrichment. My early experience with shelters eventually led to my professional dog training career in 2017. Since I began dog training, I’ve helped hundreds of dogs and their families in everything from basic obedience to service and therapy dog training, but my passion lies in helping with behavior modification cases for anxious, reactive, or fearful dogs. When I’m not helping clients with their dogs, I volunteer my time by helping animal shelters, educating individuals through training workshops, and providing hands-on instruction in dog care and behavior management. Behavior is one of the main reasons dogs are returned or surrendered to shelters, and I believe that understanding how to manage these behaviors is key to successful adoption and fostering experiences!

I graduated from Texas A&M with a BS in Wildlife & Fisheries Sciences and an MS in Business, and am certified in Pet Tech CPR & First Aid, a registered AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals. I’m also Houston’s local coordinator for Go Team Therapy, Crisis, & Airport Dogs and volunteer with my dog in places like assisted living homes and children’s behavior clinics to bring comfort to those in need. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my five dogs and cat and competing in dog sports, such as: obedience, hunt tests, agility, and dock diving.
