Meet Molly 🐾 We’re teaching her gentle treat delivery and building positive associations with her crate. Training that’s kind, effective, and confidence-building. That’s what we’re all about. #PositiveReinforcement #DogTrainerWA #pnwDogs #pnwPuppy #ReadyPupGo #SeattleDogs #SeattlePuppies

Lynnwood pet parents: this one’s for you. A quick, kind guide to local dog laws + how positive training keeps walks safe, calm, and community-friendly. 🐕🦺 Read: buff.ly/AEaZWfQ #LynnwoodDogs #LynnwoodWA #Lynnwood #LynnwoodDogTrainer #LynnwoodPuppy #LynnwoodPuppySchool #PuppySchool

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday 🐾 Teach bite inhibition with the Slow Treat Delivery Game. Move your hand slowly with a treat; the slower the delivery, the softer the mouth. #PuppyChallenges #TrainingTipTuesday #PositivePuppyTraining #DogTrainerLife

Confidence is built on success. Rewards don’t just shape behavior. They shape your dog’s belief in themselves. #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining #puppyproblems #puppyschool #puppytrainer #puppylove #puppylife #puppyoftheday #puppymom #puppies

🎃 New Socialization Challenge: Pumpkin Patch Outing! Fall is full of rich sensory experiences! 📍 Snohomish friends—stop by Pooches in the Patch at Craven Farms this weekend and say hi! #dogtraining #snohomishcounty #snohomish #SocializationChallenge

“Unfortunately, I do love”: • Stay fails • Recall detours • Zoomies in the middle of practice Because mistakes are where learning happens. And I’d rather puppies get those reps in class, safe and supported, than out in the wild. 🐶 💡 Waitlist open now → buff.ly/lubQK01 #dogtraining #lynnwoodwa

Wish your dog could relax at cafés? 🐾 ✅ Mat training at home ✅ Add chews/puzzles ✅ Build distractions slowly #dogtraining #lynnwoodWA #dogs

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday 🐾 Not all rewards are food — toys can be just as powerful! Play taps into your pup’s natural drives (chase, tug, fetch). #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining #puppyproblems #puppyblues #puppyschool #puppytrainer #puppylove

Forget harsh tools. Your dog learns fastest from treats and praise. Rewards create joy, confidence, and lasting habits. #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #clickertraining #sciencebaseddogtraining #dogfriendlytraining #kinddogtraining #fearfreetraining

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday 🐾 Puppies learn best in short bursts — think 1–2 minutes max! It’s better to train often in tiny sessions than long marathons. #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining #puppyproblems #puppyblues #puppyschool #puppytrainer #puppylove

🐾 Questions every dog guardian should ask: ✔️ Did my dog learn a skill, or just stop moving? ✔️ Is stress decreasing, or are they just quiet? ✔️ Do I feel closer, or more like I’m controlling them? ✔️ Am I meeting needs, or reacting to behavior? #positivereinforcement #dogtraining

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday 🐾 Accidents happen but punishment doesn’t help. Puppies don’t yet have full bladder control, so mistakes are normal. #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining

When dogs struggle, it’s a signal to us and not a flaw in them. Make training easier, not harsher. Success builds trust, failure erodes it. #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #clickertraining #sciencebaseddogtraining #dogfriendlytraining #kinddogtraining #fearfreetraining

Why? Puppies don’t learn “what to do” from punishment; they just learn that trying things can be unsafe or unpredictable. 🐾 Clear, kind guidance builds confidence. #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #clickertraining #sciencebaseddogtraining #dogs #puppy

“She’s only playing…” But repeated toy stealing during play can lead to tension between dogs. We addressed this issue using behavioral science... no corrections, no yelling. 📖 Blog link: buff.ly/r21oznL #positivereinforcement #dogtraining #R+training #ForceFearFree

Every dog deserves to learn in safety, not fear. Rewards make behavior stronger and build relationships. Fear breaks both. Choose kindness. It works better. #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining #puppyproblems #puppyblues #puppyschool #puppytrainer

#TrainingTipTuesday Teach Touch! Turn nose boops into instant focus anywhere. It’s a kind, low-pressure way to move your pup and build foundations for recall and polite greetings. #positivereinforcement #fearforcefree #R+Training

Puppies are crepuscular, so their natural rhythm makes them busiest in the morning and evening. When that energy has nowhere to go, it shows up as chaos, like shredding, barking, or running wild. #forcefreetraining #positivereinforcement #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining #fearfreetraining

Just a little update ☺️ I found a partnership with a fantastic new indoor dog park venue that I can now offer group classes at! I passed the licensing exams for Instructing and Assessing the Pet Dog Ambassador Program Looking at a Launch late October/Early November this year in Lynnwood, WA

From wary to wiggly... Lilly’s learning that I’m a safe friend. She still barks when I arrive, but now she also runs over for love. That’s what happens when training starts with trust. 💙 #TrainingStartsWithTrust #PositiveDogTraining #positivereinforcement #forceandfearfree

Forward only happens on a loose leash. 🐾 Try Penalty Yards: pick a goal → walk → if leash tightens, stop & back up → wait for slack → try again → reach the goal on slack and pay with a sniff/greet #TrainingTipTuesday #positivereinforcement #puppytraining

Ahbi hit a little “wait… what?” moment at the door and that’s okay! That biting/itching was a displacement behavior, so we split door manners into smaller steps: Touch knob ✅ Turn knob ✅ Open door ✅ Clear steps = confident learning. #DogTraining #DoorManners #ForceFree #positivereinforcement

Vet visits don’t have to be stressful. 🐶 This week’s #SocializationChallenge is about creating happy experiences at the clinic. ✅ Stop by for treats, no exam. ✅ Let your pup explore at their own pace. ✅ Handle ears, paws, and mouth at home with rewards. Confidence now = less stress later.

Crate training isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Some puppies need time before the crate feels safe. Go at your puppy’s pace. #positivereinforcement #puppyblues #puppy #cratetraining
