These handsome boys had a great session practicing recall, leash walking, and settling on a blanket in a public area! I’m so proud of them!

I think it’s safe to say Goose had a pretty good time at the river this morning… I know I had fun just watching him! 🌊🐾

So… What does real-world enrichment-based training actually look like? 👇

This morning with Poppy at Saguaro Lake, training meant learning in partnership with the environment - navigating new sights, sounds, and scents, practicing calm movement, and building confidence in a new space.

Rather than relying on drills or artificial setups, enrichment-based training uses real-life experiences to teach skills that matter in everyday situations. We focus on:
• exploration and sniffing
• thoughtful engagement with the environment
• emotional regulation in new spaces
• confidence problem-solving
• behaviors that translate outside of training sessions
And so much more…

When dogs feel safe, comfortable, and supported, they’re better able to focus, learn, and retain new skills. This leads to more reliable behavior in the places clients actually care about: on walks, in public spaces, and at home.

This approach is especially effective for dogs who struggle with overstimulation, uncertainty, or inconsistent behavior in new environments, and for guardians who want training that works beyond the average living room training session.

With the start of the new year, I’m playing around with an idea and wanted to float it by you all…

How would you feel about a free, virtual book club just for Love of Dog clients?

The idea would be a low-pressure, come-as-you-are Zoom discussion every month or so where we read (or partially read 😅) a dog-related book and talk about things like behavior, nutrition, learning, enrichment, and the human side of living with dogs. This would not be a training Q&A - more of an education + reflection + connection space.

Totally optional, totally free, and very much “you don’t have to finish the book to join” open to both current and past clients.

No commitment yet - just curious:
👉 Is this something you’d be interested in?
👉 If yes, I’d love to hear what things you’re mostly looking forward to and any suggestions you have!

Drop a comment and let me know your thoughts! 👇

Unfortunately, the dog training community has suffered an incredible loss. Sarah’s work and philosophies are much of the inspiration and backbone of what I do every day. Just this morning I was doing a Free Work inspired training session and saying how amazing the creator, Sarah, is.

She will be terribly missed and her legacy will live on through her daughters, Tilley Farm, and all of the trainers that Sarah inspired.

Rest in peace, Sarah. Thanks for everything 🧡
