When I met Humphrey he was a cheeky 8 month old jumping, remote eating, scarf pulling, glove stealing, food stealing,
hood removing, paper chewing, garbage mouthing adolescent. His human Lincoln was at his wits end. He loved Humphrey beyond
measure but they were not having very much fun together. Humphrey was a happy boy who just wanted to have some fun. We channeled
his talent and enthusiam to some positive activies he and Linc could enjoy together. I am truly honored to have been the opportunity
to help them develop what became an amazing relationship. We lost Humphrey to cancer earlier this year. He was only 5 years
old. I miss him terribly.

Truly exercising your dog is so much more than running them until they are too tired to misbehave.
Structured play burns mental and physical energy and develops rapport between dog and handler. Gigi happily keeps her focus
on her handler despite a cornucopia of distractions including squirrels, skateboarders, and other dogs.

Lisa and Ginger have been working with Lydia since Ginger was a young puppy. Their relationship was built on a variety
of activities all using progressive training. In this video Ginger learns to jump on Lisa's lap with a long term goal of jumping
into her arms. Ginger now lives in London and continues to work as a service dog for Lisa and entertainer for everyone.

Red and Leti "find it!"
It's no secret that dogs love to
sniff but most people don't realize that seeking is essential to a dog's quality of life. Playing "find it" rewards
impulse control (stay) with seeking. Play with two dogs for extra fun. Do not play this game with dogs who
guard resources from people or other dogs.
Red and Penelope BFFs
Red and Penelope engage in friendly appropriate play. Friendly dog play includes an even exchange of dominant and submissive
roles.
Samson and Daisy doorbell manners
Like many dogs, Samson and Daisy charge the door and bark when they hear the doorbell. In this
video we are playing the doorbell at a volume the dogs can tolerate. They are rewarded for remaining in place with the manners
minder remote reward system.
