Training with Karen Real-world training for real-life dogs. I help owners build calm, confident dogs through structure, obedience, and clear communication- without the fluff.

private lessons, board and train, and support that lasts. Training your dog means training the owner! Once you understand how your actions and behaviors shape your dogs behavior, you will have a much better opportunity to train your dog to do what you want. Let them make decisions on their own - it builds a stronger bond, and a better relationship when your dog learns to do what you want by thinking it through. Fortunately, we are there to help guide them and reward them for making the right decisions. Some of the tools used in Training with Karen include the following:
- Clicker
- Long line
- Pinch/Prong collar
- Targets
- Treats
- Toys
- Place cots
- e collar
- Martingale
- Heather's Heroes leash
- Climb
- miscellaneous others! Let me help you stop those unwanted behaviors and shape your dog into the companion you want them to be. Any dog can be a good dog - they just need the leadership of a good owner.

🍀❤️ Home sweet home for Clover!

After three weeks of training, adventures, new experiences, and lots of puppy fun, this sweet boy is back where he belongs — surrounded by the people who love him most!

Clover has learned so much, but he's still a baby with plenty of growing up to do. We'll be seeing him again in December to build on what he's learned as he continues to mature.

For now, it's time for family snuggles, familiar faces, and settling back into life at home.

It's been such a pleasure having you here, Clover! Enjoy your family, little buddy. I'll see you soon! 🐾❤️

A new and difficult place for Clover to conquer as we demonstrate how to introduce new objects to his family during his return home lesson.

He's a brave, smart boy!

🍀 Sometimes the simplest commands become the hardest when you change the environment!

When Clover first started practicing Down in unfamiliar places, he really struggled. Lying down somewhere new requires a level of comfort that doesn't always come easily to a young puppy.

Here we are at Lowe's, and look at him now! ❤️

It's been rewarding watching something that was once difficult become so much easier for him.

🍀🐾 There's a lot more to a Down command than simply lying down!

At Lowe's, Clover has been practicing holding his position while I move around and everyday life continues around him.

Shopping carts, unfamiliar noises, people walking by… and one little puppy learning that he doesn't have to get up every time something happens! 😂

We're building duration, adding distractions, and helping Clover understand that his job isn't finished until he's released.

Pretty impressive work for this little guy! ❤️

🍀 One thing Clover has absolutely excelled at during his Board & Train is walking on leash!

He's learned to stay with me, follow my direction, and enjoy our walks without constantly pulling ahead.

And judging by that little face looking up at me, I think he's enjoying himself! 🧡🐾

He speaks the truth! Your best tools are your voice, marker words and a leash!

Some mornings, personal space is just not an option! 😂🐾❤️

Two dogs, one lap, and apparently I'm the designated cuddle spot!

Wouldn't trade these moments for anything. 🥰

Who else has dogs that think they're lap dogs, regardless of their size?

🔊🪵 Not exactly a quiet day at Lowe's!

While the lumber department was busy cutting wood, Clover patiently hung out nearby, taking in all that noise!

The saw was LOUD, but this little guy handled it beautifully. 🍀🐾

These are the kinds of real-world experiences that help puppies learn to navigate everyday life. Sometimes the lesson is simply being able to hang out while the world makes a whole lot of noise around you!

So proud of our little Clover! ❤️

🎄🥒 Apparently, Clover has started his Christmas shopping early!

We went to Lowe's, and this little guy picked out a squeaky pickle wearing a Santa hat that says “Bah Humbug!” 😂

And the best part? He proudly carried his new treasure around the store!

I think Clover has officially found his favorite Christmas decoration. 🍀❤️🐾
