I have had family dogs my whole life.. but it reached a whole new level when I got my border collie in 2020. I was extra attentive, focused on training, and overall one of the most “helicopter” dog owners there could be. We worked through reactivity, by focusing my training on positive reinforcement and displacement activities to calm down and give them a better outlet! I trained my border collie, Cletus, the names of all his toys, weave poles, weaving between my feet, and many other tricks. Unfortunately he passed earlier this year due to cancer, and my belief is that grief is just love with nowhere to go. I am passionate about providing healthy, positive outlets for energy and providing the mental stimulation dogs need to set them up for success. I would love to hear all about your dog- their silly behaviors, their favorite (and least favorite) treats, and what extra supports they may need! No information is too much, because I understand how much they truly mean to each family ♥️
