Shake Pet Training and Behavior Modification

Once your cat builds a positive association with the clippers, nail trims become much easier.

Use the 6 steps in this video to help your cat actually enjoy their nail trims!

1. Get them used to you touching their paws and pair it with a high-value treat. (Do this a few times a day.)

2. Gently press their paw pads to expose the nails, then give them a treat. (Do this a few times a day.)

3. Let them investigate the clippers and reward them for sniffing or checking them out.

4. Bring the clippers up to their paws, give them a treat, then stop. (Do this several times a day.)

5. Try clipping one nail and STOP. Reward them when they cooperate.

6. Work up to clipping a few at a time. NEVER clip them all at once until they're completely comfortable.

If your cat has a bad reaction at any point, go back to the last step they were comfortable with and don't rush moving forward. Always take it slow.

Save this for the next nail trim!

Every dog owner has stood in their kitchen saying "no, no, NO" while their dog does the exact thing they're being told not to do. It's one of the most frustrating parts of living with a dog, and it feels like they're doing it on purpose.

They're not. Your dog just doesn't have the information yet. "No" tells them to stop for a second. It never tells them what you'd rather they do, so the second your back is turned, they're right back at it.

The dogs who seem to "get it" aren't smarter or better behaved. Someone took the time to show them what they're supposed to do instead, and properly rewarded them for doing it. Any dog can learn this. 

If there's a behavior you've been trying to "no" your way out of for months, let's talk. That's what a discovery call is for.

A cat's tail tells you exactly how they feel! Save this one for later, and send it to the cat person who swears theirs is impossible to read.

Yes, you can train cats to walk on a leash too!

This is Vinny & Haku's favorite time of the day (Haku even demands to go outside most of the time)

Spooky season is here🎃

Many dogs feel anxious this time of year.

Can we really blame them?

They basically step into Alice in Wonderland overnight where nothing is the same, and it's very unpredictable for your dog.

Follow these tips to help make Halloween easier for them and you this year.

Resource guarding is a completely normal and treatable dog behavior

Your dog is not broken or aggressive, but it can be dangerous if it is directed towards people.

A professional trainer is absolutely needed if you have children in a home with a dog engaging in resource guarding behaviors.
