We took Kimber and Chief for a swim at the beach the other day, and their good pal Ollie joined in! 🐾🌊

Besides being a great way to spend a summer day with your dogs, trips like this can also be great for working on reactivity.

Your dog doesn’t need to meet every dog or person they see. Simply being around people, dogs, sounds, movement, and other distractions without having to interact can help teach them how to stay calm and neutral.

Sometimes the best exposure is just allowing your dog to experience the world without feeling like they have to react to everything in it.

But exposure should always be done safely. Make sure your dog is wearing proper, secure equipment and that you maintain control of the leash at all times. Give your dog enough space from other dogs and people, pay attention to their body language, and don’t force them into interactions they aren’t ready for.

Know your dog’s limits. If they’re becoming overwhelmed or increasingly reactive, create more distance or remove them from the situation. The goal isn’t to see how much your dog can tolerate. It’s to give them successful experiences where they can remain calm and under control.

Calm, controlled exposure builds confidence and neutrality. Safety always comes first.

Years ago I was a Union Sheetmetal worker in NYC. I’m certain my family and friends thought I was crazy leaving all that to work with dogs. What they didn’t know was that this gave me a purpose. What I do is not for others to understand but to keep my heart happy as long as I can.

I am saddened about the message I received early but I wanted to share it with the owners permission. This is the real reason I left that life behind and most people will just never understand and that’s ok because It’s what makes me sleep at night

Hi Mike. Noelle here. Writing to let you know my best boy Henry passed away yesterday. You helped us through a hard time after my surgery and helped him become a better dog with training us both in such a profound way. You would be SO proud of the gentle, go with the flow, totally unbothered and amazing dog he became in his golden years. He was always special and he taught and gave so much love and joy to so many people, especially me. I thought I had more time and this was a sudden passing even for his fourteen years. A mass in his intestine that ruptured and made him so sick he was gone within a few days with no treatment that could save him.
Thank you for everything you do here on this planet for the dogs and their people. Hope you're well and sending much love. Noelle and my newly anointed angel dog Henry.

If your dog is currently in training and it’s not working, and you come to me for help, PLEASE don’t spend the first 30 minutes telling me what your last trainer told you to do.

It obviously didn’t work, or you wouldn’t be here.

The biggest conflict I run into is with trainers who rely almost exclusively on positive reinforcement and food. Food has its place, but I don’t use it to fix aggression. To me, food is a reward for the right behavior, not the solution to the behavior itself.

If your dog won’t take food because it’s completely locked onto another dog or person, that tells me the emotion driving the behavior hasn’t changed. You can’t reward your way out of fear, insecurity, or true aggression with a handful of treats. Not today and not ever!!!!!

Aggression is changed through proper training, clear communication, structure, accountability, and controlled exposure, not by hoping food changes how the dog feels in the middle of a reaction….but but my last trainer said…if it worked you wouldn’t be here.

We usually take three dogs at a time for their Sunday Spa Days. Yesterday, we took Georgia, Kimber and Marshall for some TLC. We are grateful for Leslie who always does a great job with our dogs.

Juni is doing fantastic here. She came for dog reactivity and has made so much progress. Here she is with our girl Kimber minding her business.

If you have a reactive dog, it can be fixed. You shouldn’t have to worry about walks. You can gain control and enjoy bringing your dog outside.

We took advantage of the great weather and took some of the gang to the dog beach. Chief had a great time too even though we didn’t get any pictures of him except for when he fell asleep on the way home.
