One of the biggest misconceptions in the dog world is that toy / small breeds aren't smart. The truth? They're incredibly intelligent. Daisy Mae is a 9 week old toy Australian Shepherd weighing 4.5 lbs.

Just because they're small doesn't mean they're any less capable of learning. Toy / small breeds can excel in training and everyday manners when they're given clear guidance and consistent training.

Their size often leads people to excuse unwanted behaviors that wouldn't be tolerated in larger dogs. It's not because they can't learn it's because they haven't been taught.

Congratulations to Koda on successfully completing a 2 week Board & Train program with me ! 🐾

Over the course of the program, he has worked hard, gained confidence, and made incredible progress. From building solid obedience, off leash training and better house manners, he has put in the effort every step of the way.

I am proud of everything he has accomplished, he came in as a chaotic, rambunctious boy 😆. He is now leaving as a dog who is well balanced !

Training is an ongoing journey. His owner took lessons with him throughout the board & train to ensure she is able to keep consistency at home after his program. Big round of applause for Koda & his owner 👏❤️

This is Haley a 5 year old black German Shepherd. She was a recent board and train who came to me with a bite history. Haley came in highly reactive to men, small dogs and cats. Her owner told me she would lunge at small dogs & cats when passing by them becoming very difficult for her to handle. While with me Haley had such a huge turnaround and did FANTASTIC ! She started as a dog with aggression issues and went home able to be calm and confident in every situation.

My name is Crystal Swain, I am the owner and dog trainer of Start To Finish Dog Training. One of my biggest joys is helping people learn to communicate with their dogs and increase the bonds they have with them. It's really amazing to be able to watch dogs learn and equally as amazing when owners realize how much potential their dogs truly have. I have devoted myself not only to training dogs themselves, but to coaching my clients about the nature of dogs, canine body language, and energy. This corresponds to very effective training for both dogs and humans alike. My focus is on creating joyful and respectful relationships between people and the animals that enrich our lives so much.
