Many people believe dogs need to directly interact with other dogs to be considered “socialized.” That’s not true.
Real socialization is about your dog being able to exist calmly around others without stressing out, overreacting, or losing focus.

Your dog doesn’t have to be best friends with every dog it sees. In fact, forcing interaction can sometimes create more anxiety. The real goal is teaching your dog how to feel comfortable and neutral in different environments, especially around other dogs.

Can you tell what one is the poodle and what one is the doodle? Why doodle when a well bred poodle can have the same look, with a more stable temperament.

I just finished my ebook on puppy socialization using a relationship-first approach, and I’m looking for three people who would be interested in reading it and providing a testimonial. If you have a puppy or are interested in learning more about effective socialization and are willing to share your honest feedback, I’d love to send you a copy! Your insights will help others see the value in this approach. Let me know if you're interested! 🐾

I'm so grateful for Asuna and all we've achieved together. Looking back, I remember clients driving over two hours just to train with us, and I feel lucky to have made such connections. Thankful for those who have reached out, shared my posts, and referred me—your support means everything. There’s still a lot to do, but with everything we've already overcome, I know we’ll continue to move forward. We got this.

Client Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In behavior modification cases, I prioritize improving the relationship and creating a clear communication system through play. This approach builds trust, helping dogs work through insecurities. Once that foundation is established, we focus on obedience and achieving your goals.

Here’s a testimonial video from a dedicated client I worked with whose dog, Jude, struggled with severe behavioral issues and separation anxiety.

We focused on a relationship-first approach, using play-based methods to rebuild trust and communication. We didn’t introduce basic obedience until there was clear improvement in their relationship and understanding. Once games became a fun and rewarding activity for both, we integrated obedience training into play. Finally, we introduced the e-collar for off-leash reliability.

Hey everyone,

I’m reaching out today to share something personal and important. As many of you know, I’m currently living in Canada, working toward securing my PR (Permanent Residency) and an open work permit. We’ve tried to save up for the application fees several times, but life keeps throwing curveballs, and we’ve had to use the funds for other pressing needs.

Being unable to legally work has brought its share of challenges, and now, with only a few months left to apply, I’m asking for your help—not for donations, but for referrals and opportunities to work.

I’ve been training dogs for over 10 years and am passionate about helping people build better relationships with their dogs. One of my biggest challenges has been growing my online presence and social media reach, but I’m determined to connect with more people who need my services. If you or anyone you know could benefit from my work, I’d be deeply grateful for your support.

Here’s how I can help:
- Dog Training (Virtual): I specialize in behavior modification using relationship-first, play-based training methods inspired by experts like Ivan Balabanov and Jay Jack.
- AKC Evaluations: I’m an AKC Evaluator and offer virtual testing for Trick Dog and Virtual Home Manners titles.
- Discounts for Rescue Dog Owners: I offer a special discount on all training programs for those who’ve adopted a dog (with proof of adoption).
- Graphic Design Services: I create custom dog-related graphics, litter announcements, stud ads, and even website design.

If you know someone who might benefit from my work, please send them my way or share this post. Every referral brings me closer to my goal of staying here with my family and continuing to pursue my passion.

You can learn more or contact me at https://www.avidk9.com

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting. It truly means the world to me.

With gratitude,
Marth
