🐾 The four quadrants of dog training aren’t about being “good” or “bad”—they’re about understanding how behavior works.

When we understand what increases or decreases behavior, we can train more clearly, communicate better, and help our dogs succeed. Knowledge creates better training decisions! 🐶

One of my favorite clients 🥰 Miss Molly is deaf, and has learned so much! She is so smart, and loves her owner so much. I have never met a more dedicated pair as these two. They’re such an amazing team!

Teaching dogs ASL is another one of my areas that I enjoy.

🐾 Meet the Human Behind Misfit Pups Training 🐾

Hey everyone — I’m Carly, the owner and trainer behind Misfit Pups Training! I realized I’ve gained quite a few new followers lately, so I wanted to take a second to reintroduce myself and share a little about what I do. 💜

I specialize in helping the dogs that people often label as “too much” — the reactive dogs, the anxious dogs, the wild puppies, the misunderstood dogs, and the dogs that may not fit into a perfect training-box. Those are my favorite kinds of dogs to work with.

My goal is never to create a “robot dog.” I want to help owners better understand their dogs, build communication, and create real-life skills that actually work outside of a training facility.

A little about me:
✨ Mom of 4 girls
✨ Australian Shepherd obsessed
✨ Sunset colors are basically my personality
✨ I love helping owners feel less overwhelmed and more confident
✨ Big believer that progress matters more than perfection

At Misfit Pups Training, judgment stays at the door. Whether your dog barks, pulls, lunges, panics, jumps, or acts like they’ve never heard their name before — you’re welcome here.

Thank you for following along and trusting me with your dogs. I’m excited to continue sharing training tips, real-life struggles, wins, and everything in between. 🐶

Tell me about your dog in the comments — I’d love to meet your misfit pup! 💕

WHY DOGS PULL ON WALKS 🐾

Most dogs don’t pull because they’re stubborn.

They pull because it WORKS.

🐾 Faster movement
Dogs naturally move faster than we do. Pulling gets them where they want to go quicker.

🐾 Excitement
Walks are exciting! New smells, people, dogs, squirrels, sounds—it’s a lot for a dog to process.

🐾 Reinforcement history
If pulling has gotten your dog closer to smells, trees, or exciting things in the past, they’ve learned:
“Tight leash = I get what I want.”

The good news? Loose leash walking CAN be taught with consistency, patience, and clear communication.

Remember:
Every walk is training—even the messy ones.

Need help making walks less stressful? Message Misfit Pups Training to set up a session! 🐕
