Sometimes dog training isn’t about asking your dog to do something—it’s about giving them the right outlet at the right time. 🐾

This oversized stuffed dog—what I call the Pacifier Puppy—lets Fern express natural behaviors in a safe, appropriate way. She can bite, drag, shake, growl, and wrestle, all without stress or conflict.

Enrichment like this helps dogs release energy, lower frustration, and feel satisfied—all of which makes training and everyday life easier. 💜

If your dog struggles with big feelings or challenging behaviors, the right outlet can make a world of difference. I’d love to show you how!

“Fern says: ‘Don’t worry, Mom, I got the cabinet!’ 🐶🚪”

Fern has decided that closing the kitchen cabinet is her job… especially when I go for my cereal bowl. 😂🐶

This might look like just a silly trick, but it’s actually enrichment! Games like this get your dog’s brain working, build engagement with you, and most importantly—they’re fun for both of you.

👉 Remember: training doesn’t have to be serious all the time. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just play with your dog for the joy of it. 💜

Training Tip 🌿🐾

Did you know that giving your dog more freedom to sniff on walks can actually lower their heart rate and cortisol levels? Sniffing is one of the best forms of stress relief and enrichment for dogs—it’s like meditation through their nose! 👃💨

That’s why I love using a 20-foot cotton web leash:
✔️ Softer and more comfortable than nylon
✔️ Easier to handle (no rope burn!)
✔️ Machine wash & dry = super easy to clean

Want to try it for your own walks?
👉 Here’s my favorite brand: amzn.to/4lCYrVq

This is an affiliate link, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through it—at no extra cost to you. 💜

Your dog will thank you with calmer, happier walks. 🐕✨

✨ Training Tip ✨
Young dogs often have big feelings they don’t know how to manage. One of my favorite tools to help is what I call the Pacifier Puppy—a large stuffed dog.

It gives pups a safe outlet for:
✔️ Cuddling when they need comfort
✔️ Biting and shaking when they’re feeling intense
✔️ Playing with “someone bigger” in a safe way

Simple tools like this can really help puppies learn to cope in healthy ways. 🐶💖

Sometimes we accidentally poison our recall cue by using "come" too often, or to stop our dogs from doing something they think is fun.
This is why I also train a "touch" cue, for fun and for an emergency recall. I alwkays allow the pup to move away again after touch, with the rare exception of an actual emergency.

Allowing our dogs to perform natural dog behaviors is one of the best gifts that we can give to them.
Have you ever taken your dog to a natural place and allowed them to just be a dog?

I believe it's really important that my dogs are very comfortable with handling, putting on collars, leashes or harnesses, etc. I don't want to chase my dogs around trying to get their gear on. I use games and added reinforcement to introduce new items to my dogs.
In this video, you'll see me put choke chains on my dogs. I do NOT use choke chains.
Many, many years ago, when I first started training, chains were what I was taught to use. Since then, I have gotten a much better

Our Story

I have been caring for animals since I was a kid. It drove my mother crazy when I would walk right up to strange dogs, pick up snakes or carry in spiders. She says that I have a "gift" with animals. I'm not sure about that, but I do know that I understand them. I enjoy working with all sorts of critters, from dogs and cats, to horses and donkeys. I even love the exotic pets, like parrots, snakes, frogs and hedgehogs! My pet sitting service is "in home" visitations. Your pets get to stay in their own environment, where they feel the most comfortable. Most of my dog training is also done at your location, because I must see what the dog does in his/her own environment. New, “Games Based” dog training classes are now forming!

I have been pet sitting professionally for 38 years and training dogs for 30 years. Both jobs started out small, with neighbors and friends who were in need of help. Soon, it became clear that there is a greater need for someone skilled in animal care. I have worked with hundreds of animals, of many different species. I am comfortable training, cleaning, exercising, or even medicating most types of animals. Many of my clients have had special needs animals, which I welcome. Please contact me for more information about my services, prices and service area. Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing from you!
