☀️Get out this week and enjoy some fresh air with your dog!

🕰️I know we are all struggling with the new time change, but don’t fall behind with your dog.

🦮Our dogs need and deserve plenty of mental and physical stimulation. If you’re struggling for ways to fulfill your dogs needs reach out and let’s chat 🐶

It’s never too early or too late to begin a training program with your dog. My goal is always to educate the guardians so they can communicate better with their pups 🐶

I offer in home private lessons where the only focus is you and your dog. It’s a great investment for our best friends 🐾

Training for the cold winter ahead. 💪🏼❄️

Using the treadmill just to get Enzo’s body moving a little in the morning when I’m not as motivated to get out and walk.

This doesn’t replace and outdoor walk where he can sniff and take in the environment. But it’s an easy fun way to learn something new while getting his mind and body moving 💙

🎃 Happy Halloween! 👻

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Friday!

🐶 Some safety tips for your dogs:

1- This should be every day BUT.. make sure your dog has identification. So many dogs are found missing key information to help reunite with their family.

2- Create a safe space. This might be a crate or another room where they have plenty of enrichment to keep themselves entertained.

3- By creating a safe environment this means you shouldn’t feel bad leaving them home/inside. Halloween is fun for many but dogs may be thrown off with costumes and decorations.

4- Supervision of candy and other treats- things happen in the blink of an eye when you have dogs. Make sure you utilize safe storage of food and drinks. Let’s avoid a costly vet visit.

5- Exercise and Mental Stimulation- make sure your dog is properly exercised during the day so the evening can be a good opportunity to rest.

These are just a few tips. But honestly no one understands their pet better than you. Think about the night from their perspective. They might enjoy a restful evening at home more than a spooky night out 🏠

Tonight we will be leaving our dogs home with their Grandma. They will spend time away from the chaos probably watching Netflix and enjoying some scratches 🧡🐶🐶🐶🧡

🐾 Hey everyone! I’m Cory Winwood, owner and trainer at The Balanced Wag. 🐶

🌟 Born and raised in Pittsburgh, I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and a passion for helping their guardians understand them better. I truly believe that dogs are always communicating with us, but sometimes we humans tend to over-communicate.

✨ With just a few simple changes in our interactions, we can strengthen the bond with our furry friends and unlock their true potential!

Join me on this journey of training, connection, and understanding. Let’s create even happier relationships with our dogs!

Visit www.thebalancedwag.com to book a session! I would love the opportunity to work together 💪🏼

Beautiful fall day working with my pack 🐶🐶🐶

I mention often that Tuesdays are my maintenance training days with our dogs. Therefore they get extra rewards so they keep working for that reinforcement.

Get out and train while this beautiful fall weather is still here 🍂🍁🌞

Wishing a HUGE Happy Birthday to the biggest supporter in my life and the BEST dog mom!

Happy Birthday ! Even the dogs said we couldn’t do this life without you 🐶😘

Every Tuesday is set aside as a maintenance day 💪🏼

This gives me an opportunity to really focus on my dogs. I tell my clients this all the time.. our dogs work to get paid. But what is their currency?

Well sometimes it’s treats but it can also be attention, praise or play. I’m a big believer in reinforcing things we want our dogs to repeat so Tuesday for them is payday.

Now this doesn’t mean other days they aren’t getting things from me, it just is an opportunity to really focus on the good things they are doing.

This gave off Halloween vibes 🎃

Hope you all are taking advantage of this beautiful weather and having fun with your pups 🐶🐶🐶

Doing nothing for a dog is hard… but for a small business owner it’s impossible.

I forget at times how lucky I am to truly do something I love. And I forget how much effort it takes to balance life, a small business and my dogs.

Capturing moments like this reminds me how important it is to give my dogs their fulfillment so I can fit into their life.

I tell my clients all the time it’s a balance of giving the dogs what they need so they can do the hardest task…. nothing.
