Heart Dog Behavior and Training

Sweet Jedi’s parents have been working diligently on his fear of and reactivity towards other dogs, and shared that he’s recently been able to successfully make some canine friends!! Our goal was for Jedi to have peaceful, fear free walks, and we’re thrilled to see he’s far surpassing it! Congratulations to his parents for getting to see their diligence and dedication to helping Jedi pay off 🎉

Meet Jax and Opie! These two handsome boys started experiencing some sibling tension, which understandably worried their parents. They reached out to us for help and together we created a behavior plan focused on safety, structure and rebuilding positive habits at home.

Behavior change is a journey and Jax and Opie’s guardians have been doing an incredible job guiding them through it! They recently sent us this photo of the boys practicing their mat settle side-by-side, helping them build impulse control, on-cue relaxation, a safe alternative behavior, and a positive association with each other’s presence. We are so happy to be working with these good boys and their dedicated humans!

Wren and his person, fellow dog trainer Jenn, are working hard together to build Wren’s confidence in Small Dog, Big World! It’s so much fun to see him, and the other petite pups in class, grow and learn together.

The upcoming holidays can be a source of so much joy and merriment- no one wants it ruined by a trip to the emergency vet, a dog fight, or a bite to a family member. By practicing good management, active supervision, anticipating your dog’s needs, and staying vigilant about holiday toxins, you can ensure that you and your dog enjoy this holiday season!
