I hope this video doesn't make anyone seasick but I love that it shows how fearless Tavv is. When she hears the train horn, she moves toward it and watches it with curiosity. I was taking a gamble going this close to the tracks but I was betting on Tavv being her usual brave self. Her "out" at the end was also some nice work. She is getting the bits and pieces. Now to string them all together. #labradoodle #dogs #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydog #traversecitydogs  #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer  (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7chYK2h97x/?igshid=1aujxq023pd3t

Auggie's mom is out of town but we had a nice walk with dad as part of their go home training session. A passing neighbor even complimented them on how nice they were walking together. The first week after go home is the simplest, yet the hardest. Our goal is for the dog to be in a crate, on place or on leash with the owner for the week. This helps break old behavior patterns and lets the owner get acquainted with their "new" dog. Next week we will start to relax some of the structure and begin delegating more responsibility to Auggie. #australianshepherd #dogs #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydog #traversecitydogs  #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer  (at Acme, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GgC1IhQ0T/?igshid=ee37xojaatmi

Retesting the boundary rope with Baxter. I wanted to make sure the prior one and done wasn't a fluke. It wasn't.

Proofing paper towels with Baxter. He is starting to understand that everything does not need to go in his mouth.

We are in the homestretch with Bernie so are really testing (proofing) his behaviors to make sure they will hold up to real-life challenges. Here Bernie holds his Sit while Juice chases after the ball.

First "walk" with Dobbs. Nothing fancy, all I am asking is for him to move with me and not trip me. The sit with a few seconds of duration at the end was a nice little surprise. #bordercolliesofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydog #traversecitydogs #traversecitypetsitting #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer #traversecitydogwalker #meghantrainer #fairydogmother #aviewofthebayanddogsallday #iletthedogsout #beaconbaypets (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwYHYGrA3iL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ho7oa6h4n69y

Opi has left the building! I met with her family today for the turnover and I was impressed with how quickly they adjusted to the mindset of expecting great things from Opi and holding her accountable for what she has learned. I think they are going to be just fine. We will meet for some follow-ups as needed to keep them on the right track but I think they are going to be just fine. #frenchie #frenchbulldog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydog #traversecitydogs #traversecitypetsitting #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer #traversecitydogwalker #meghantrainer #fairydogmother #aviewofthebayanddogsallday #iletthedogsout #beaconbaypets (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvpkdWggSpl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d5vb6hei5qq1

Maizie was a unique challenge. Once we dialed back her over the top arousal, what was left was fear and anxiety. We taught her that she could trust her humans and she could be afraid *and* still be a good girl. #borderaussiesofinstagram #borderaussie #traversecitydogpark #meghanthedogtrainer #traversecitydoggos #traversecitydogwalking #traversecitydogrescue #traversecitydogwalker #traversecitydogroomer #traversecitydogphotography #traversecitydogroomers #traversecitydogrooming #tcdogs#beaconbaypets #traversecitydog #aviewofthebayanddogsallday #dogsonplace #traversecitydogtraining #traversecitydogtrainer #traversecitydogs  #dogtrainingtools #dogtrainingbusiness #dogtraininghelp #dogtrainingworks #dogtrainingandbehavior #dogtrainingcenter #dogtrainingclub #michigandogtraining #baskervillemuzzle (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUPH27jWG-/?igshid=frlp34ttuz6k

Maggie now and then. Maggie is enrolled in our puppy program and due to family schedules, we split her time with us. Now that she is done teething and on her way to being a big girl, she is back for her e-collar training. #germanshepherdpuppy #germanshepherd #gsdlover #germanshepherdsofinstagram #puppytraining #puppylove #remotecollartraining #dogtraining #ecollartechnologies #pups #offleashlife #dogs #gsd #dogsoninstagram #midogs #germanshepherdlovers #michigandogs #puppies #traversecitydogtrainer #traversecity #traversecitymi #tcdogs #upnorthdogs #beaconbaydogtraining #bbdt #meghantrainer #dogtrainersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B_tP1oojeX2/?igshid=1nm7gubq9lc8k

All tourist are advised to bring their own sand this year. And toilet paper.

It was good to see Victor again and his time with us flew by. He has come so far since we first met him! Our In-home boarding service is available to members of our Stay & Train programs. It gives owners peace of mind that their dog is well cared for and not losing any of their training while they are gone. #borderaussie #traversecitydogtrainer #traversecity #dogs #dogtraining (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8qlzR_HwXR/?igshid=1nyen1qu8ena6
