Are you hoping for a dog with true impulse control?

Impulse control isn’t something dogs are born with, it’s built. Just like a muscle, it needs consistent practice to grow stronger. And the sooner you start, the better!

Too often, I see owners go through the motions: asking for a quick sit before meals or a split-second pause at the crate door. But the dog’s mind? Still buzzing. And that kind of practice isn’t going to get you where you want to go. It’s actually reinforcing an anticipatory, wound-up mind.

What if you asked for more?
More calm.
More patience.
More regulation.

Because it’s not just about waiting, it’s about HOW they wait.

When they’re puppies, raise the bar:
Wait a little longer.
Look for true stillness.
Get eye contact.
Hold out for that settled, thoughtful energy…not a dog hanging on by a thread.

Be clear, be consistent, and expect more of the right kind of effort. That’s what makes it stick! 🧠

Want a calmer puppy… and a calmer life? Start tethering.

This simple exercise teaches your puppy to settle, builds impulse control, and helps them learn to be calm and passive, even when life is happening around them.

Yes, even that wild little land shark can learn to just ~chill~
Yes, it takes practice.
But man, it’s worth it.

You’re teaching your puppy that they don’t need to be entertained 24/7. And that calm is a default state, not just something that happens after they crash from zoomies.

Here’s how to start:
🦮Use a leash (durable, if needed) to tether your puppy to something solid, like a door handle or heavy furniture.
🦴Set them up with a cozy bed and a safe chew.
👀 Supervise — but don’t engage. Let them figure it out.
⏳ As they progress, start removing “extras” until they can relax with just... nothing.

Expect them to whine or act restless at first. That’s normal. You’re giving them space to work through it, and the more you practice, the faster they’ll settle, and the longer they’ll be able to remain in a calm headspace.

And while this is an absolute top tip for puppy raising, it benefits any dog at any age who needs some help in the chill department.

Calm dogs aren’t born. They’re built!

At first, training might feel like more structure, more restrictions, more guidance. And that’s because it is.

We frontload the work—teaching, reinforcing, and creating clarity—so that down the road, we can give our dogs more.

More freedom. More trust. More opportunities to be part of our lives in meaningful ways.

A well-trained dog isn’t a robot—it’s a dog who understands what’s expected, feels mentally balanced, and can confidently make better choices. And that’s what allows us to say “yes” more often.

Road trips. Cafe hangs. Family gatherings. Hikes. Off-leash freedom. Or just a peaceful walk in the neighborhood.

Whatever level of inclusion you dream of for your dog, training is what gets you there. And at the end of the day, inclusion is the greatest gift we can give them.♥️

That moment when you realize the dog you imagined isn’t the dog you have? I’ve been there. My clients have been there. We all have.

When you finally let go and embrace your dog for who they truly are—quirks and all—something magical happens. The relationship transforms. In the best of ways.

The struggle is real. The breakthrough is worth it. Have you experienced this shift yet? 🫶

Anxiety in dogs can stem from a lot of different things, but after working with tons of anxious dogs (and owning one myself!), I’ve noticed some key patterns that show up over and over. 🔁

The good news? Small changes can make a big difference, and I’m here to help you get started!

Does any of this sound like your dog? If you’re looking for guidance on how to make progress, I’m here for you—whether virtual or in-person. Just reach out! 💌

We just moved cross country with Hadley to Colorado, and man, what an experience. 😅🚗

If you’re planning a road trip, vacation, or big life change with your dog, here are a few things that helped us keep Hadley (and ourselves) sane:
🚗 Car manners matter. Hadley knew how to chill in the car, and it made a huge difference.
📋 Routine = comfort. Even when everything’s changing, keeping a sense of normalcy helps your dog feel more secure.
🎢 Big transitions are tough on everyone—even the “easy” dogs. Expect some hiccups and roll with it.

Swipe for more tips on making your dog’s journey (and yours) easier during life transitions!

And if you’re about to move or need help with transitions, I’m here to support you and your dog every step of the way. DM me or check the link in my bio! ❤️

One last chance for the DMV crew to get together before our cross-country move! HTC Clients are welcome to join us for a Pack Walk this coming Thursday, Dec 12th @ 5:15 PM at Candy Cane Park. It’ll be a walk beneath the lights, which should be fun and potentially add a little challenge! DM me with any questions.

Hope to see you there ❤️

Anything new is going to be a bit messy. If your dog struggles with place at first, that’s actually a sign they need it. The only way out is through. Stay consistent, and calm will follow. ✨
