The Proper Puppy Learn how to engage with your dog in a healthy manner by setting boundaries and building respect.

This dog has handler aggression when in a high arousal state when first brought to my board and train program. For the safety of all, a muzzle is being worn. As a disclaimer, I do not promote the use of Ecollar use without professional help. The e collar stimulation must be low and at working level while we teach. We do not correct dogs for reacting. That would build fear and distrust. The boundaries we are putting up for our safety is all about getting out of behavior instead of reacting at the dogs reaction. Lots to discuss about aggressive dog on dog. Reach out if you have questions!

Welcoming 2025 with a bit about me. Hi, I'm Lori. I am in love with my job. I wake up daily feeling grateful for my clients. My dog clients too! I strive to be the best. The best listener, the best educator, the best coach, to have the best insight, and to overall make you feel the best when you are in my training programs because you see the success and know what it means to have an obedient, loving, respectful relationship with your dog. Each dog is different. Some have so much puppy energy, some reactive, others anxious, or problem behaviors. The root of the problem is what I strive to find. It's not always what you might think. Let's talk Callaway... My dog is in fact one of my best friends. But, I also hold him to a standard of expectations within my family pack. He's the demonstration some dog's need to be calm in a stressful situation, or maybe a handler needs to understand form. Shout out to him! I work with a variety of breeds, ages and temperaments. Fun fact: I have WELL over 20,000 hours of time spent on the training field. If I added up the real number it would shock you and me. I'm an expert based on time spent, knowledge, and overall understanding. I believe in continued education, I believe in hard work, and I believe in helping owners understand their dog's needs. Giving them the ability to communicate effectively, intentionally play, work, and lead. When training with me in board and train or private training just know the program is tailored, intentional, and supports the overall plan for you and your dog. I put in the effort so each dog I meet can be their best. Thanks to those clients who have supported me for years, and to those I'm about to meet. Happy New Year!!!!

Reactivity looks a bit different to every dog. Here is a little synopsis of a board and train take home note I created for this dog’s owner. At the end of every board and train I provide a detailed follow up with a go to schedule and how to maintain the behaviors the dog learned and lived by within my home.

I love how this info is digestible via picture form. In session, when I mention ‘barrier threshold,’ we often practice systematic desensitization drills after. Counter conditioning is when we practice behavior modification through building new associations that trigger the reward center of the brain rather than the opposite feeling. This is often done with rewards or providing less pressure - space.

So many came out to inquire, visit, and advocate for The Proper Puppy. Huge shout out to Brad and Kylo for being involved in a live demonstration of what it’s like to live with and work a reactive dog. I could have not asked for a better duo.
