🐾 Breed Spotlight: The English Springer Spaniel 🐾
Looking for an affectionate, energetic, and intelligent companion? Meet the English Springer Spaniel—a versatile sporting breed with a heart as big as their stamina!
✨ Quick Facts:
📏 Height: 19–20" (M), 18–19" (F)
⚖️ Weight: 45–55 lbs (M), 40–50 lbs (F)
⏳ Lifespan: 12–14 years
📜 Recognized by AKC since 1910
💡 Why They’re Special:
Originally bred in 16th-century England to “spring” game birds from cover, today Springers shine as both skilled hunting dogs and loving family companions. Their cheerful personalities, eagerness to please, and boundless energy make them a joy for active households.
🐕 Key Traits:
✔️ Friendly & people-oriented
✔️ Highly intelligent and trainable
✔️ Sensitive—respond best to positive reinforcement
✔️ High energy & needs daily exercise
🛠️ Training Tips:
✅ Start early to build impulse control
✅ Use rewards like food, toys, and praise
✅ Engage their instincts with retrieval games or scent work
🧼 Care Needs:
Regular brushing (2–3x weekly) keeps their silky coat healthy, and don’t forget those floppy ears—routine cleaning helps prevent infections.
⚠️ Health Considerations:
Like all breeds, Springers can face some hereditary issues (hip dysplasia, PRA, ear infections), so regular vet care is essential.
🏞️ Best Match:
If you’re active, love the outdoors, and want a loyal partner who thrives on being part of the family, the English Springer Spaniel could be your perfect fit!
🐶 Fun Fact: Their incredible noses make them top picks for search-and-rescue, detection work, and dog sports—not just hunting!

🐾 Let’s build good manners and a lifelong bond with your pup! 🐾

🐾 Got a new puppy? 🐾
Is your little one chewing up your favorite shoes, nipping at your hands, jumping on strangers, pulling on the leash, or darting out the door the moment it opens? Don’t worry—you’re not alone! These are all normal puppy behaviors… but they don’t have to become long-term habits.
That’s where I come in. With over 30 years of experience working with dogs, I use a proven training approach that blends positive reinforcement and gentle guidance. My philosophy is simple:
✅ Reward what you want, guide away from what you don’t.
✅ Never rely on fear or intimidation—trust and respect build better dogs.
✅ Focus on communication, consistency, and relationship.
Here’s how my training works:
🐶 Positive Reinforcement – I mark and reward good behaviors so your puppy clearly understands what earns praise. This creates motivation and eagerness to learn.
🦴 Gentle Guidance – When mistakes happen (and they will!), I use the least intrusive, minimally aversive methods to redirect your pup. This means no harsh corrections—just clear, fair communication.
🧠 Relationship Building – Training isn’t just about obedience; it’s about teaching your puppy that you are the most rewarding, trustworthy part of their world. This bond ensures long-term success and a happier life together.
🐾 Real-Life Skills – My 6-week puppy obedience program covers Sit, Down, Recall, Focus, Leash Manners, and more, all taught in ways that set your dog up for success in everyday situations.
✨ Special August Offer ✨
When you sign up for my 6-week Puppy Obedience Training Program this month, you’ll receive 2 extra in-person sessions (1 hour each) FREE! That’s additional time to work on your puppy’s unique needs, reinforce lessons, and answer all your questions as an owner.
📌 Available for puppies 3–10 months old.
📅 Offer ends August 31st.
Give your puppy the best start in life—and build a relationship based on trust, respect, and teamwork that will last a lifetime. 🐕💙

🌟🐾 BIG shoutout to Tucker the Blue Tick Coonhound! 🐾🌟
Tucker just hit the halfway point in his 6-week training program, and we couldn’t be more proud of his progress! 🎉
When we first met Tucker, he was 2 ½ years old with zero training and no understanding of what it meant to be an indoor dog. Fast forward just 3 weeks — with Building Better Dogs training techniques, gentle guidance, and his amazing owner putting in daily work — Tucker has completely transformed! 🙌
He now understands what’s expected of him and regularly shows off his new, appropriate behaviors with confidence. 💪🐶
This is what positive reinforcement + consistency can do.
✨ Gentle guidance. REAL results. ✨
Keep it up, Tucker — we can’t wait to see what the next 3 weeks bring! 🐾💙

🐶 Training Built on Trust: Positive Reinforcement & Gentle Guidance 🐾
At Building Better Dogs, my philosophy is simple: dogs learn best when they feel safe, motivated, and understood. That’s why I rely on a proven combination of positive reinforcement and gentle guidance to shape behavior and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.

Here’s what that looks like:

🔹 Positive Reinforcement means I reward desired behaviors—like sitting calmly, making eye contact, or walking politely on leash—with things your dog loves: food, praise, toys, and affection. This increases the likelihood your dog will repeat those good choices again and again.

🔹 Gentle Guidance helps set clear expectations without fear. If your dog makes a mistake, I use calm redirection or leash pressure—not force or intimidation. I teach your dog how to win, not just how to avoid getting it wrong.

🐾 The Benefits?
✅ Builds trust and confidence
✅ Creates lasting, reliable behaviors
✅ Reduces fear, anxiety, and frustration
✅ Strengthens communication between you and your dog
✅ Makes training enjoyable—for both ends of the leash

I believe in working with your dog, not against them. Every moment is an opportunity to build connection, understanding, and a dog you’re proud to live with.
