See if the "Train Together Call" is right for you. Unedited! 😬 😁 I left the training breaks in the video so your training will be timed, plus sometimes it was interrupted by a question. We did three 10 min. training sessions and went over some questions. I'd love your feedback! I'm also attaching the Rally List and the chat text from the call.

That “perfect moment” to train can be tough to find... always on the to-do list, yet never quite happening. But if we do it together, it can be more fun and... actually get done! So we will make it happen with a: 🐾 Train Together Session Tomorrow at 10:00 am ET (Free) Here’s how it works: ✅ Join me on Zoom at 10:00 am Eastern (9:00 am Central Time, 7:00 am Pacific Time) (on the calendar too) ✅ Bring your own training plan (one small skill you want to practice is enough) ✅ We'll start by checking in so everyone knows what they’re working on ✅ Go off camera and/or mute to train ✅ Every 15 minutes, we meet back to share wins, adjust, or get encouragement You can stay for all three 15-minute rounds or just do one if that’s all the time you have.Either way, you’re getting real training done. Here are some suggestions of what you could work on: 🦴 Leash manners 🦴 Self-control 🦴 Coming when called 🦴 Rally or other sports-related skills 🦴 Or any behavior your dog needs help with And I'll be happy to give advice as needed. LINK to join me at 10:00 am (also on the calendar): https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88132881733?pwd=hvM57itQgYIQ26bBH0D18PM9U29pO5.1 What to bring: - Your dog - High-value treats and/or their favorite toy - A plan to work on (I can help if you aren't sure) You'll get support and shared progress! What's better than that? 😊🐕 Let me know if you have questions! See you tomorrow at 10! 🐕 If your dog has been “a lot” this week, this can help and be a perfect reset. Even one 15-minute session can make a huge difference.

How do you celebrate your dog's birthday? I once went to a very lavish party akin to a wedding for a client's dog's birthday. Complete with an Irish band, catered food, party favors and probably 75 people outside their large home on the lawn! It was super fun. But WOW! We are headed to agility - cancelled this morning due to snow but we can get there now and we'll practice with some of the students. Then Mick will get some special treats today too. Maybe I'll take him to the pet store and let him pick something out.

Any plans with your dog this week? For me, the next three days are mixed with work, teaching and dog agility. Then starting Friday, we…. <drum roll 🥁> ….. compete in 3 days of agility. BUT, know that I don’t have any expectations to bring home ribbons. Mostly, It’s an opportunity for Mick to have more exposure to the trial (competition) environment. And that’s what we all have to remember… that your relationship and your training is a journey and every piece matters - even just plain exposure 😊 Meet me on Wednesday to train together!

Went great! I’ll have a recording up soon. We also covered taking a dog on leash when reactive to other dogs outside and getting an engaged dog to come to you when called at the dog park. That’s like getting kids out of a swimming pool on a hot summer day! Haha Thank you to all who joined the call
