The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming and the weather is warming up… it’s Spring! Now’s the perfect time of year to grab the leash and your 4-legged best friend for some much needed outside play.
Bond Outside the Box
Getting outside of the house for play and exercise can be a great bonding experience for you and your dog. Dogs are used to their homes and surrounding areas. By getting your canine companion out, not only do you have the opportunity to explore new sights, but your dog also gets the chance to try new things. It can even help reduce problem issues caused by separation anxiety. Whether it’s smells, locations or people, introducing your pet to new surroundings is always beneficial.
Benefits Galore
Does your yard look like someone’s been looking for buried treasure? Having problems with destructive behavior like chewing on carpet, furniture, shoes, etc.? Exercise, along with making sure Fido has the correct chew toy, can significantly help reduce these problems. Taking your dog out for long walks is a huge help in reducing his energy level when he’s in the house. A tired dog is a good dog!
Is Your Dog a People Dog?
Another great reason to exercise your dog is so he can meet new people, new animals, experience new places and see new things. If you choose different places to walk like a public park, an outside food venue or a strip mall your dog will be able to successfully socialize and be more adaptable to change.
Whether you live in a small town or a big city, getting out for exercise and play with your dog is beneficial for not only your pet but you as well.

Helene has helped me turn my rescue dog into a service dog 🩵 my dog went from being your typical rambunctious puppy to an all star doggie student in a matter of literally weeks.
my dog has this passion for working and learning and helene helped me utilize those traits

Helene was simply amazing. I contacted her for fear of my dog misbehaving with my new baby in the house. She not only corrected this issue but many other obedience issues we have dealt with for years. She is extremely approachable and is open to working with you on the terms that are best for your dog and the household. We have two dogs with totally different concerns and she was able to change them both for the better. We strongly recommend her services!

Helene has a unique ability to understand the needs her client and to turn them into simple lessons. She is very patient and positive. she teaches through positive reinforcement and has made a huge difference in our dog. My hyperactive pup is now a well mannered happy dog.

Helene was an amazing trainer for our dogs - one an adorable, bouncy puppy and the other a 6-year-old with lots of anxiety about new people coming into the house. She deftly handled both cases with the ease of experience and made sure to let us know that dog training was just as much about the "human" training as it was training the dogs. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to bring home a new puppy or teach an old dog new behaviors.

My family and I adopted a puppy that needed professional training. After tons of research and phone calls to local trainers, I went with Helene. We are so happy we did! She is the REAL DEAL! Her expertise and love for dogs is unparalleled. I highly recommend Florida Dog Training!
