Jennifer's Dogs

Jennifer's Dogs provides dog training focusing on obedience, reactivity and fear/anxiety. Dogs have always been a passion of mine. Whether this be dogs or cats!

I try to give every dog I work with the tender, loving care they deserve. To me this means treating them as if they were my own. Giving them the same love and compassion I give my animals every single day. There is a unique bond between every owner and their pet. Every pet I meet has a special place in my heart. I’ve been referred to as “Auntie Jen” from my clients. This is very fitting as I think

of all of the pets I work with as my nieces and nephews. I look forward to working with you and your pet becoming part of the Jennifer’s Dogs family! Best,
Jennifer Brand, CPDT-KA

Everyone say Hi to Casper! 👋🐶🥰

I’ve been working with Casper for about 7 months now! 😱

He has come such a long way! He was so reactive to cars that he couldn’t even play in his backyard. Now not only is that possible, he’s made to the park as well! His world has opened up not only for him, but for his parents.

To see Casper’s journey click the link in my bio for my YouTube channel! ⬆️

I’m so proud of you Caspy and this is just the beginning! 🐶🤩

Jennifer's Dogs now has an official YouTube channel! 🎬🐶❤️ Check the link in my bio. ⬆️

First video I'm featuring Juno! 😍 Every summer I pet sit this girl and have the best early AM fetch sessions. Last summer I captured this. I'll see her soon in August and plan to record again! I hope you enjoy her agility and skill as much as I do. 🥏🎾💕

Please keep in mind Juno has excellent recall and I only do this at 6am in the morning. By excellent I mean 90% or higher accuracy! Please be safe and considerate of others if you let your dog off leash. ❤️❤️❤️

Puppy Bonanza Continues! 🐶💕
Everyone say hi to Bethany! 👋

Bethany is an adorable pittie puppy! In our first session we focused on using a gentle mouth. Teaching dogs to be gentle with their mouth early is crucial for bite prevention as they get older.

When I started my first session with Beth she did the oh so common alligator mouth! 🐊 This is when they put their whole mouth quickly over your hand or toy when they want something. By the end of our session she was gently taking treats out of my hand and her toy as shown. ⭐️

Look at my previous puppy post to learn how to teach your pup to be gentle too! ⬅️

In no time, Bethany will be able to use a gentler mouth with not only humans but other dogs when playing. A little bit of practice is all it takes to see long term results in your pup!

Keep up the great work Bethy! 🐶🥰

It’s puppy central here at Jennifer’s Dogs! 🐶💕
Everyone say hi to Newt! 👋

The most common complaint I get with puppies is nipping! They tend to take it out on those they love. Their humans! It’s important at a young age to teach them a gentle cue to help with this. This is how you do it!

✨Start with a treat in your hand! Make a closed fist and face your fingers towards your puppies mouth.

✨Say “Gentle” then wait for soft licking motions. If you feel any teeth, take your fist away.

✨Try again! When you don’t feel any teeth, open your fist to give them their reward!

It’s really that simple! The gentle cue is so important because it teaches puppies that our hands are useful and not toys. Keep in mind that puppies nip because they are in pain! Always have options for your dogs to teeth on. Including but not limited to: toys, kong (frozen for a longer effect) and bully sticks! Remember that there is a biological reason why puppies nip. They are teething! The problem comes when they grow up and still do this behavior even when they have their adult teeth. By teaching the gentle cue, you can prevent this from happening!

Happy Puppy Training! 🐶🥰

I have another cute puppy for you guys! Everyone say hi to Milly! 👋 This time it’s a puppy I’m working with through the 🐶🥰

Milly is doing a wonderful job of working on all her basic skills! We’ve only had a few sessions, but she’s already mastered touch, sit and down! ✨

She still struggles in distracting environments but this is completely normal! When all else failed, can you guess what worked for her?

A Ball! 🎾🎾🎾

Ball is life for a lot of dogs! Did you know a toy can be just as rewarding as a treat? Police dogs are trained commonly with toys versus treats because of the type of work they do. When in doubt training your pup, get creative! Find what motivates them and you have your reinforcement. 🙌

Milly is on her way to being a well behaved young lady! I’ll post updates on how she is doing throughout her journey! 🐶💕

Happy Training! 🐶🥰

Everyone say Hi to Jagger! 👏

This adorable pup is already 5 months old! 😱 For the past couple of months we’ve been working on basic obedience skills together. Jagger is an all star! ⭐️

We’ve cover all of the following:

✨Hand Targeting/Touch
✨Gentle
✨Sit
✨Down
✨Stay
✨Come
✨Leave It

However, we didn’t teach them in this order. The benefit of private training vs. classes is you get to decide what’s important for your dog to learn and in what order. I pride myself in having a customizable approach for your lifestyle.

For Jagger, they are a family of four with two young children. This means it’s crucial for Jagger to use a gentle mouth with his human siblings. We also incorporated them in some training sessions so they can learn to be gentle with him too!

A collaborative approach is key especially with families! Jagger’s mom has done a great job guiding her children on how to interact with Jagger. This makes for a safe relationship between puppy and children.

Keep up the great work Jagger and Family! 🙌

Everyone say hi to Arnold! 👋🐶🥰

Arnold and I just wrapped up our first training package! Arnold’s parents reached out to me because they have two twin boys under 1 years old! 😱 This is quite an adjustment for the whole family! We worked on some boundaries for Arnold while the boys are growing up. Here’s some tips if you are in a similar situation!

✨Have designated spaces! There should be clear lines of what is the babies and what is the dog’s space. First thing we did is setup play areas for the twins that Arnold could not get into. This sets clear boundaries for what is for the babies and what is for Arnold.

✨Toys! This is a tough one. Baby toys and dog toys look quite similar! It’s important to teach your dog what is theirs and what is not. You can do this with dividers blocking unwanted teams for your dog to have. As well as being proactive about leaving things out that they can easily get to that are inappropriate.

✨Healthy interactions! The safest way to do this is by holding your baby and guiding their hand to pet your dog appropriately. The easiest place to do this is on the body and away from their face. Open palm with gentle strokes is crucial! Guide your babies hand to help them understand this and not do grabbing motions.

Arnold loves his little brothers! As they get older, there will be new challenges. As they are crawling more now and beginning to walk! He’s a little anxious by this, but it will take space and time for him to become comfortable. Space is always key for any anxious dog!

That’s a wrap for Jewels! 🐶💕💎

If you remember, I was working with Jewels for recall 🐶🥰

She has about 80-90% recall now! Her mom has even noticed her being more attentive to her name around the home. 🙌

I worked with Jewels on the long lead outside (look at previous post) as well as in the big pack. Even with 10+ other dogs in the pack she would come to me! This is an incredibly hard skill to attain. Jewels was pretty quickly a pro at it! 🌟

The Madison has some great deals for the month of January! Including $250 for an unlimited month of daycare. That’s right, I said UNLIMITED! It starts at the moment of purchase and you can come as often as you like.

Join the pack and be sure to say hi to me! You can also start training just like Jewels did while your pup goes to daycare. Get started off right in the new year with some extra playtime and training for your pup!

Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉

Merry Christmas! 🐶❤️🎄

Buttercup recently finished her training package! She was very shy and nervous walking around her busy neighborhood in the Bronx. This is so common and not every dog adjusts well to city life! We worked hard on her gaining confidence in the city. Here’s how we did it!

✨Small Steps! When a dog is scared or fearful you want to take small steps to slowly expose them to the thing they are scared of. This means more walks in areas she’s uncomfortable with (like shops and bodegas) for short periods of time. Over time, Buttercup gained confidence and became better at coping in these areas!

✨Facing the Fear! There is a delicate balance between facing a fear or trigger and when to walk away. Buttercup was scared of buses in particular. We would have her sit by the bus stop for a few moments before letting her walk away. This will slowly improve her fear, but also not overexpose her and make her fear worse.

✨Take Breaks! Buttercup loves the park near her home. Letting her have more freedom there before and after training will allow her to decompress. It’s a fine balance between exposure and taking breaks to relax.

Have you noticed a theme here? Short bursts of exposure + breaks = diminishing of fear. I specialize in this work because it is so rewarding to see a shy and scared dog become more confident in their environment!
