Developing Dogs Ca
New trainee😆🐶💗

Story time🥰. I got started in dog training about 12 years ago. I was volunteering at the county shelter in Bakersfield and I had a problem dog at home. One of my motivations was to help owners so less dogs would get surrendered to the shelter, the other was my own reactive dog. I went through Animal Behavior College in 2012 and after that started helping with rescues and shadowing different trainers. To this day, the one thing that always sticks out in my mind when I think about my journey is the empowerment I felt in the very beginning, the moment I realized my relationship with my dog was up to me. I had the control to change things I wasn’t happy with. Now, 12 years later, that is my favorite thing to witness in my clients. The confidence they feel when they realize what they are capable of with their own dogs🙌🏻🐶💗
One of Choco’s big issues when he came in was his toy drive. The first thing I worked on was teaching him to relax around toys. The next step was teaching him “out”, so he releases the toy when I ask. Now I can safely play tug with him without him getting mouthy over the toys. I am still rewarding him with food everytime he let’s go of the toy because he’s food motivated and I want a high value reward right now! Eventually that will change 🙌🏻💗🐶
