Xochil is 5 years old and a mix of herder and terrier. She was a pound puppy and was returned once. She’s been in her home now for 4 years and had some anxiety to tackle as well as some big bad aggressive behavior with people. She has an extensive bite history that is all centered around people approaching her and when she is next to her owners and people get close. Her vet visits are dramatic and she is just a very stressy girl to the point it agitated her stomach.

This photo shows a quick progression of how correct use of body language, spatial pressure, and relaxed confidence with the leash fixed the issue of Xochil trying to take charge and force her way past her owner and out the front door. Changing the relationship dynamic and teaching a murdery dog that they are no longer in control of the home is key to restored peace and understood boundaries with space and guests. Xochil resource guards her owners so that’s a major thing we are addressing for her behavior mod journey. They’ve been having to board her anytime guests are coming over due to her uncontrollable aggression. That all changes now!

The first update after this first lesson: “She’s doing awesome. She’s been a lot more chill and looking to us for guidance.”

Small breed dogs — including dachshunds and French bulldogs — have a high risk of developing a herniated disc in their middle back, which can lead to partial or complete paralysis in the hindlegs. Until recently, the only treatment for dogs that do not respond to rest and therapy has been a costly decompressive surgery that involves removing the herniated disc.

Now, thanks to a new treatment developed by Texas A&M University professor Dr. Nick Jeffery, more dog owners will be able to afford treatment for herniated discs, which affects hundreds of thousands of dogs in the United States alone.

Tatum is a tripod 5 month old shepherd mix that has some general obedience challenges and reactivity. He gets unsure about people and situations and will fixate and defensive bark. This can turn into big problems as he ages so I’m glad his family is dedicated to working with him now.

King is a 4 year old bully breed mix that gets overstimulated easily around people and dogs. He has also been attacked by a dog and has a lot of frustrations to work through. He has gone through board and training with a previous trainer but there has been a disconnect between owner and dog and how to properly use tools, so they have been committing to private lessons doing the hard work together to understand each other and build a better and stronger bond.

About Jamie The Owner/Trainer

Dogs have been part of my entire life so naturally I would end up centering my world around them. I have been working with dogs and in the animal care field for 13 years now. I was a long time dog rescuer from foster to board member and had a successful dog photography business during my time living in Houston. I graduated with a degree from the Vet Tech Institute and worked as an internal medicine and oncology vet tech before I made a career switch in 2016. I am grateful for the knowledge I have picked up along the way and am always working on improving my skills so I can further help pets and the people attached to them. Dog sports and working dogs are a hobby of mine. I have been involved in working dog clubs for a decade now and learning the ins and outs of the working dog world and attending workshops and seminars by esteemed trainers has influenced a lot of my training in the pet world and how I coach. I have experience in most AKC sports as well as weight pull, PSA, and IGP (formerly schutzhund/IPO). I currently share my life with a Siberian Husky, Doberman Pinscher, Beauceron puppy, and a hairless cat! I have a passion for working with all personalities of dogs and helping their owners through balanced, reward based and relationship building training. I am educated and experienced with the various training tools out there and also specialize in safe, off-leash remote collar training. I have worked with it all from my time in shelters, evaluating strays, professional work, and personal pets and am prepared to guide you on your journey to achieving your goals with your dog. It is rewarding for me to see a dog owner learn and grow in their understanding of dog behavior and in their handling skills as I was once in those shoes! When it comes to dog training you must enjoy the journey. Aside from dogs, I am a huge nerd and gaming is life. If I am not out training and working with my dogs, I am logged into World of Warcraft climbing the ranks in rated pvp. For The Horde!
