Robin improves the relationship people have with their dogs. She combines 30 years of training experience with her background in biology and animal health care to help owners and their companions live more harmoniously together. Thousands of dogs and their owners have benefited from her exceptional teaching skills and supportive coaching.
If you are ready to start training and enjoy more adventures with your dog, you’re in the right place!
The early weeks of a puppy’s development are critical to long-term good manners and polite social behavior. Start housebreaking, limit puppy -biting and other nuisance behavior. Teach your puppy to calmly accept being in a crate and sleep through the night. Plus so much more...
Robin's Ecollar training video series provides off leash freedom for your dog and peace of mind for you! Robin’s step by step approach is easy to understand and easy to replicate.
Starting at a dog is never a good idea. Many dogs will perceive it as a threat.
I’m glad I know the owner of this dog well enough to know how well trained and well socialized she is because it’s hard not to be mesmerized by a creature with this much presence.
Magnificent. 💜

“Ecollars have to be painful or they wouldn’t work”
Those words are nonsense. Ecollars work because tactile cues are more effective at gaining attention than either audible or visual ones are.
This is day three training a five-month old Weimaraner. He’s got a drag line one so I can assist him if he has any confusion when he feels the sensation. (Helping the dog learn how to respond properly to stimulation is the essence of ecollar conditioning)
Stimulation was applied twice. Once to move away from a dead animal and once for a recall.
No pain, no diminished drive, no negative fallout as some want you to believe.
Just a pup having fun being a dog while still listening as needed.

Do you have to wrestle your dog to get them to go into their crate?
Not this guy! 💪
River’s owner went through one of my virtual courses and have built a great relationship based on trust and mutual respect.
I love these progress videos.
If your pup struggles to listen to you, reach out. I’m happy to help improve things for you too! Contact 🔗 in bio.

This young Weimaraner finished his board and train with flying colors.
He had lots of public outings practicing good manners. Plus enjoyed the privilege and adventure that off leash reliability brings.
He started the program at 18 weeks of age. It’s so much easier to get off to a great start by beginning young, rather than seeking help once problems have set in.
Kudos to his owners for being proactive rather than reactive! 🙌
Now we will do some follow up lessons over a couple months so they can take over where I left off.
A lifetime of benefits from this initial investment. 😊🐾🐶😍

You know that saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks?”
It’s not true. But, it is certainly easier to teach a young dog the right tricks!
This boy has been in a board and train program with me for a few days.
He’s just under 5 months old and progressing so rapidly!
When the dog doesn’t have a bunch of bad habits you don’t have to work nearly as hard to have a great outcome.
You want a well-behaved dog?
Start training as soon as you bring your pup home.
My Puppy Training program can help. See 🔗 in bio for details.

“Leave it” is not nearly as useful as a solid Heel behavior.
If your dog understands that heel = walk nicely alongside you with NO sniffing, you won’t have to constantly badger the dog to leave things on the ground alone.
Want to give the dog freedom to enjoy a sniffari?
No problem! Just release from the heel behavior with a permission cue and the pup is at liberty to follow his nose.
Heel when there are too many yucky things around. 🤢
Followed by freedom to “dog” when it’s safe. 🐕👃
Teach the difference and suddenly you are, Your Dog’s Hero!
