Train With Layne - Canine Training

Gus 🐾

Super friendly, loves people, and honestly just a happy guy… but he’s got a lot of feelings 😅 Especially on leash when he sees other dogs, charging, barking, pulling, and completely checked out from his handler.

Not aggressive at heart just overwhelmed and doesn’t know how to handle it.

Right now we’re working on calm, controlled leash work, better communication, and teaching him how to think instead of react when he sees other dogs.

learning how to feel those feelings without losing his mind 👏🏼

Chloe 🐾

This girl is sweet, eager, and ready to gooo… all the time 😅 She came in pulling on the leash, jumping, and struggling to settle, always looking for what’s next instead of being able to just be.

Not a bad dog at all, in fact very sweet! She just has a busy mind and no off switch.

Right now we’re working on slowing her down, creating better leash habits, and teaching her how to actually relax instead of living in constant motion.

Same dog… just learning how to turn it down 👏🏼

Bentley 🐾

One year old Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger opinion about the world 😅 He came in anxious when he can hear people but can’t see them, barking to control situations, pulling hard on walks, and always on the hunt for something to steal and make his own.

Sweet, curious, and honestly a fun dog… he just hasn’t known how to settle.

Right now we’re working on building calm, clear structure, and teaching him he doesn’t need to be “on” all the time. Slowing him down, creating better walk habits, and helping him exist in the home without feeling like he has to manage everything.

Same dog… just learning a new way to move through the world 👏🏼

Getting a puppy is supposed to feel exciting.
And it is.

But a lot of people are surprised by how quickly it can also feel loud, chaotic, and… a little overwhelming.

That doesn’t mean you’re failing.
And it definitely doesn’t mean your puppy is “bad.”

Most of the families I work with are trying really hard.
They’re loving, consistent, and doing their best with the advice they’ve been given.

What’s usually missing isn’t effort.
It’s structure.

And no one really talks about that part early enough.

If you’re in that stage right now, you’re not alone.
And it doesn’t have to stay this hard.
