Just because one of your dogs is capable of being off leash doesn’t mean all of your dogs are!
Kuromi my 4 month old doberman is much farther along in her recall journey so she’s able to be off leash where areas permit. Yuki on the other hand is still working on it so she’s on a long line and guess what? THAT’S OKAY!
Every dog is an individual, including all the ones in your own home. Take your time and don’t rush, your dog can have fun just the same💜🫶
We’ve officially started place work! We started just last night and this little girl is already doing great!🥰 Kuromi is my personal dog.
Place has a TON of benefits:
• Keeps your pup safe and out of the way while you’re cooking, vacuuming, moving furniture, etc.
• Can be used to get your dog into the car, onto the scale at the vet, stay off to the side of a trail or sidewalk to let others pass or calmly rest at your side at a pet friendly restaurant
• Great alternate behavior for jumpers, dogs who rush guests, bark at doorbell, etc.
• Bring down arousal and relax after play time
and SO many more!
What do you think of this cue, would you want to teach your dog place? Comment below! 👇
A misconception many people have about giant breeds such as St. Bernard’s is that they’re simply too large and powerful to train without the use of aversive tools such as prong collars or e-collars..
Queen is here to show you that can’t be farther from the truth! Every breed is capable of being trained using force-free methods including being trained to walk appropriately on a leash ❤️🐾
Training isn’t just about commands; it’s about trust, communication, and love! 🤝❤️

🐾🎃 Halloween Dog Safety Tips 🎃🐾
Hey pet parents! 👋🐶 Halloween is just around the corner, and while it's a fun time for us humans, it can be spooky for our furry friends. 🐕👻 Let's make sure our four-legged family members stay safe and happy this Halloween season. Here are some essential dog safety tips to keep in mind:
Costume Comfort: If you're dressing up your pup, ensure their costume is comfortable and doesn't restrict their movement or breathing. Make sure it doesn't have any small, chewable parts.
ID and Microchips: Ensure your dog has proper identification, including an up-to-date collar with tags and a microchip with current information. With all the commotion, it's best to be prepared.
Secure the Candy: Chocolate, candies, and gum are toxic to dogs. Keep the Halloween treats out of reach. Remember, wrappers and lollipop sticks can be choking hazards too.
Quiet Place: Create a quiet, safe space for your dog away from the doorbell ringing and the trick-or-treaters. This will help reduce anxiety.
Walk in Daylight: If you plan to take your dog for a Halloween walk, do it while it's still daylight. This can help avoid any spooky encounters.
Glow-in-the-Dark Accessories: Use reflective or glow-in-the-dark accessories on your dog's collar or leash to make them more visible in the dark.
Pumpkin Safety: While pumpkins are generally safe, keep curious dogs away from lit candles or jack-o'-lanterns to prevent burns or fires.
Watch for Escape Artists: Keep a close eye on doors and gates when handing out candy to prevent your dog from escaping in the excitement.
Costume Test Run: If your dog is wearing a costume for the first time, make sure to let them try it on before Halloween night to get used to it.
Emergency Numbers: Have your vet's contact information and the number for an emergency animal hospital on hand, just in case.
Let's make this Halloween a howling good time for our furry friends! 🐶❤️ Share these tips with your fe
A confident pup is a confident adult! I regularly allow Kuromi to explore her environment and challenge herself while I’m at a safe distance. She wanted to explore this rock patch.. so I let her!
Letting your puppy explore these novel environments and sensations like walking on a wobbly surface teaches them to trust not only themselves but also you! You’ll notice I stayed close by, kept a loose leash, and praised praised praised when she decided to head back to grass! This not only teaches her I won’t force her to enter these situations but also that I’ll be there for her at the end!
Dog ownership is a partnership that’s requires 2-way communication! ❤️As a trainer all too often I hear these requests: I want my dog to come EVERY time I call them, I want my 3 month old puppy to be calm when we go outside, I want my dog to walk without EVER pulling. And my first question is always: “What have you been doing to teach them that behavior?” As a dog owner it is YOUR responsibility to teach your dog what you’d like them to do, not your dogs! Dogs will be dogs whether we like it or not so if you want calmness outside, you need to be training and working towards that. You need to be doing frequent short sessions and setting your dog up for success! If you want your dogs recall to be perfect at the park, you need to be training recall at home! You can’t expect perfection from your dog who has never been taught what to do! 🐕🐶Dogs are living in our human world and it’s silly to think they’ll adhere to human ideals automatically.. they don’t know any better! It’s our responsibility as guardians to train the behavior we want to see, not to simply expect our dog to know what we want.
we had a great socialization trip this morning 🫶if you could name one thing that’s a MUST to habituate your dog to, what would it be? comment below! 👇
Want your dog to be able to stay and recall outside around triggers such as birds even with your birddog? A solid training program is the first place to start! 🐾

Kuromi is going to grow up to be a large dog so it’s critical she is able to contain herself quickly and respond to commands even in times of high arousal. It’s also my responsibility as a Doberman owner to be an advocate for this breed and not put her in a situation where she may be misinterpreted as dangerous. It’s an unfortunate reality that not everyone sees this breed for the greatness they are so it’s extremely important to setup my girl for success and a strong out is part of that 🐾✨

Hey there, pet parents here's your reminder that potty training waits for no one! Potty training your furry friend can be quite the adventure, and we get it – bad weather can make it seem like a daunting task. But don't let rain or cold hold you or your pup back! Here's why puppy potty training should go on, come what may!
Consistency is the Key:
Puppy potty training is all about routine and predictability. Dogs thrive on knowing what to expect. So, whether it's sunny or stormy, sticking to your potty training plan is vital. It helps your pup build good habits, rain or shine.
Learning Responsibility:
Potty training isn't just about teaching your pup where to go—it's about teaching responsibility. Rain or snow, show your furry friend that bathroom breaks can't wait. This lesson will help them learn obedience and responsibility in other areas of life.
Building Resilience:
Potty training in all weather conditions can toughen up your pup. Sure, it's tempting to stay indoors when it's pouring, but braving the elements helps your pup learn to adapt and deal with discomfort – a useful skill for all dogs.
Encouraging Independence:
Potty training is a big step toward independence for your pup. By keeping it going, you're giving them the power to take charge of their bathroom breaks, boosting their self-confidence, rain boots or not.
Avoiding Setbacks:
Stopping potty training because of bad weather can lead to regression. Pups might forget their progress and revert to old habits. So, consistency is the name of the game to ensure they keep moving forward.
Tips for Potty Training Puppies in Bad Weather:
Dress for Success: If your pup is small or doesn't like getting wet, consider a raincoat or boots. Keep them warm and comfortable.
Keep the Fun Alive: Rain or shine, make potty training fun for your pup! Use treats, praise, and playtime to make it an exciting adventure.
Puppy potty training is a fantastic journey for both you and your furry friend. So, don't let b
Not all training looks flashy! If you want a calm, relaxed dog…a dog that understands an OFF switch you need to train it!
Yuki and I regularly train outside the dog park so she understands dogs don’t always mean play and excitement.
