Today is a new day.

A fresh start.

You get to decide how this year and this moment will be better. Are you ready? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ten years ago my life changed forever. My mom suddenly passed away. I was unemployed, depressed and struggling to get through the day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A friend gave me a dog. This adorable puppy was going to fix me, fix my grief and add fill the whole in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Only none of that happened. This puppy was a nightmare! She was hyper, barky and keeping her from peeing on the carpet was overwhelming. I couldn’t handle one more stressor in my life, especially now that I found a management job 50 miles from home. My gut reaction was to get rid of her, but I bought a dog training book and managed to get through the first year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I didn’t know back then that life gives you tests. God wants to see if you’re ready for more in life. If you want to rise to the next level, then you need to pass the small, or not so small test. Fail the test and you’ll get another, and another, and another. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sadie wasn’t only my dog, she was my test. A test I failed over and over with each bad training method, strategy or book. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As Sadie got worse, I made another bad decision and added a second dog that was a foster fail. Robi took the brunt of Sadie’s bad behaviors as I played referee. Walking them was a nightmare as they flung themselves at every dog acting like Cujo. People gave me disapproving looks. I felt like a failure. I almost gave up hope.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But deep down inside, I knew there was a solution. A solution that I wouldn’t be ashamed of using. A solution that I was comfortable with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I educated myself, rolled up my sleeves, did the work and changed my dogs using a method that I’m proud of. Somewhere along the way I discovered that I have a gift to help others. That I could turn my success into your success. That I could help you get the dog of your dreams, just like I have now.Is this going to be the year you roll up your sleeve and stop waisting time? If so, I’m here to guide you

“Sherry is a MUST. When I began researching dog training methods, I learned that the Karen Pryor “positive reinforcement” method is really what makes the most sense to me. Now, does that mean that it would work on my dog? The answer is a resounding YES, and I would not have gotten this far with my black lab had it not been for Sherry’s guidance and hands-on help…By being extremely prompt and professional, it’s also a pleasure doing business with her. I highly recommend Sherry and All About Training Dogs.”

“My husband and I recently rescued a 15 month old female Golden Retriever..she has been extremely fearful of meeting new people and all things in the house – noises – stairs etc scared her. When I realized her issues were beyond my experience I called for professional help. Sherry came out to educate me and give me training tools..I learned so much about dog’s body language..We practiced with the tools given..It was really miraculous and effortless! I highly recommend Sherry!”
