And this is what positive reinforcement/fear free/rewards based training looks like . . . a happy, engaged dog, excited to learn!!

Juniper had so much fun learning dog parkour! 4 feet up!

I think it brings me as much joy as it does them! I love seeing their faces light up! Learning itself can be a reinforcer for some dogs.

What a gorgeous weekend to be out and about with your dog!

Most dog people want to experience life with their dog . . . a walk in the park, a trip to a pet friendly store, and sitting out on patio on a beautiful fall afternoon. . . one of my goals as a dog trainer is to help you do just that!

Simba tends to get overly excited in new spaces, so we are working to help him feel more comfortable in new spaces, like East Cobb Park.

Since Magnus is a puppy, we are working on socialization. We are giving him positive experiences in a new place around new stimuli.

Both Simba and Magnus had a great time at the park! We all did!

Welcome to the Club, Jessie and Toad! Yay!

Another fantastic walk today! We explored a new trail/park today, Leita Thompson Memorial Park in Roswell. It did not disappoint. A beautiful wooded trail, on a crisp fall morning, with great company. Perfection.

Meet Magnus! He is a 12 week old Doberman puppy! And he is all puppy! He is a happy guy, with lots of puppy energy. He is smart and eager to learn.

As part of my puppy package we will work on potty training, crate training, socialization, enrichment, basic skills, and introduce leash walking.

Proper socialization is an important part of what I do with puppies. It is especially important for Magnus since he is a Doberman. Dobermans are bred to be guard dogs, it is innate part of who Magnus is. We want to help him build confidence and resilience during this critical stage of development. Positive experiences in the world is the key.
