In dog training, we often talk about splitting criteria to help our learners be more more successful. Often we forget that we are learning too, and building consistent habits can be a challenge in our busy lives. It can feel so overwhelming that we don’t know where to start. I encourage you, not just to break down behaviors for your dog, but for yourself as well, so that training is not a source of stress, or another task on your to-do list, but something you and your dog can count on in your relationship.

Dear friends and followers, I am sorry to inform you all that King passed away as the result of an accident on November 8th.

This boy was my heart. We miss him beyond measure. He taught me so much and I can only hope to keep his legacy alive by helping other dogs. The patience, creativity, and compassion I learned from living with him will benefit not only my future clients, but my future dogs and my daughter as well. He made my a better person.

For now, though, I am taking a step back as we try to figure out how to live without him. I want to thank all those who have reached out, you know who you are, and my current clients who have been more than understanding.

1, 2, 3!

Let’s talk pattern games!! Patterns are predictable and safe! Dogs learn that they can control when the pattern starts and they know exactly what the outcome will be.

The 1, 2, 3 pattern comes from Leslie McDevitt’s Control Unleashed (which I cannot recommend enough!) and it goes like this: First, teach the dog that “Three!” means a yummy treat will appear. Say “three!” and feed, repeat several times, then “two, three!” and finally “one, two, three!”

As you can see in this video, King chooses to move closer to me when he hears the beginning of the pattern, because he knows what happens next and he wants to be nearby to get his treat!

This pattern is helpful for: loose leash walking, increasing focus, managing reactive dogs to move past triggers when increasing distance is not an option, and more!

I am thrilled to announce that I am now a licensed Family Paws Parent Educator with ! The mission of Family Paws is to prepare families with dogs for life with babies and/or toddlers. This niche is near and dear to me as I have welcomed my baby into my home with two large dogs, and we are still acclimating and adjusting nine months later. It can certainly be a stressful time, but King Canine is here to support you! If you or someone you know is expecting and would like some information, please shoot me a message!

In the meantime, here is Maggie practicing stationing and relaxing on her bed while me and my very helpful assistant fold laundry. 😅

Keep your pets safe and relaxed! These are excellent tips!

It's that time of year again. Maybe you meant to prepare your dogs for the fireworks but it just kept getting pushed off, maybe you didn't realize they would make your pup nervous, or maybe you just need a little reminder of some last minute tips to follow

Here is a round-up of some last minute 4th of July tips for you and your pup. Pass it along to anyone who could use it.

Most importantly, keep your dog close. I dread seeing all the lost dog posts that often follow local firework displays 💞 Much Love

Meet Zeke! Zeke is a Pitbull/Chihuahua mix (embark confirmed!) who has some barky lungey behaviors toward other dogs. His human is committed to helping Zeke feel calm and at ease when passing other dogs on walks. You can look forward to videos of this handsome man as he progresses.

Shoot us a message to find out how we can help your barky lungey dog!

Angel has made great progress!! She has learned to keep slack in the leash and that it pays (in chicken!) to check in with her mom. Way to go!
