Best Dog Owner Gifts for the Person and their Dog

Let's be honest, a gift for a dog owner's dog is just as much a gift for them as it is for their dog. So, we picked the items that -dogs- actually want this year, and some of these are so good, the owner will think the gift is actually for them!

I help dogs and dog owners enjoy life together and sometimes I ride horses. 🐶🐴

Hi! There’s a lot of new people here recently, Hi! 
There’s a lot of new people here recently, so I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, the business and some updates!

I’m Alex Austin! I am the owner and trainer at Liggett Dog Training. Liggett (Lih-Get) is my maiden name, and comes with my mother’s side of the family who taught me so much about what I know about animals. 

I have been training professionally for almost 4 years, but before that I worked in veterinary medicine, trained horses, and worked in an animal shelter. Along the way, I also got my master’s in Social Work and spent about two years working as a mental health therapist.

I got wrapped up with training when my own dog, Razz, was experiencing some very significant behavior issues and in my horse trainer brain I knew that I couldn’t send her away for training because her behavior depends on ME. Someone else could teach her the skills, but it was up to me to implement them. 

So, I started digging in and doing the work myself, consulting a few mentors along the way. She is always a dog who will need some management, but we have both come such a long way with where we were. 

When it comes to helping and training your dog I am here for YOU and your dog. Dog training, especially behavior modification, can be incredibly personal and emotional as you evaluate yourself, your relationship with your dog and the options that you have. 

These days, I am heavily focused on pet dog training and teaching you and your dog practical life skills to help both of you enjoying life together. We approach training holistically- looking at the relationship, the lifestyle, exercise, and even your pet’s diet when it comes to maximizing your dog’s quality of life. 

Below is a picture of myself and my dog Razz (the smaller one) and Cooper. Cooper recently earned his angel wings after a two year battle with Cancer. You’ll probably see him pop up on my newsfeed from time to time as he was a once in a lifetime dog for our family and an asset to helping other dogs in training. Continued in comments..
Absolutely beautiful evening to work on leash skil Absolutely beautiful evening to work on leash skills, socialization and a touch of obedience. 🌅

I absolutely love seeing the progress from day one even only a few sessions in. ☺️
Had such a fun weekend running for Empire Animal R Had such a fun weekend running for Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS) at their annual 5k! We love supporting our local rescues especially those that are foster based!

Razz came along for the run, too and overall did really well with all of the commotion! She wore a muzzle as a safety precaution but also to help alert others that she’s a dog who needs some space from other dogs to do her best. 

We also chatted briefly about getting a foster dog in the next couple weeks 👀
It’s a good thing photos can’t convey smell. It’s a good thing photos can’t convey smell. 
Otherwise this would be a trigger warning photo. 😂

Razz thought a small pond in the woods was just mud, but sank a little deeper than she anticipated and immedietly turned herself around.
We just got home from the biggest weekend booth we We just got home from the biggest weekend booth we’ve ever had!!! 

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat, take home a treat for their pup or to support LDT! 

Razz was promised an ugly chew - and luckily there’s a few left over!! 

@uglychews and other treats are always available at group classes and private lessons - we are working on a pop up shop during group classes too ☺️
Can you believe just five group lessons ago some o Can you believe just five group lessons ago some of these dogs needed nearly 20-50 feet between each of them to be able to connect with their person on the other end of the leash?

Group classes are all great for dogs who get a little reactive, excitable or disconnected from their person in high distraction environments. I don’t expect perfection in the first class, and it’s so exciting to see the progress everyone made ☺️

Loved teaching this group of pups and their person in Alfred! It was so fun to visit my alma mater doing what I love!
Saying “I just want my dog to come” is the sam Saying “I just want my dog to come” is the same thing as saying “I just want my kid to get a full ride athletic scholarship to a D1 team”

Reliable recall is one of the longest journeys you can take with your dog. It can be a very simple process, but it takes consistent responsibility and dedication from the owner to put the time in, put in the reps, and learn the skills to set your dog up for success. 

“Just wanting recall” isn’t the only skill your dog has to learn. Your dog has to learn leash pressure, accountability, space, pack drive, obedience, and marker words. Then your dog has to test those skills up against distractions. 

The handler has to learn timing, pressure and release, marker words, space, obedience, leadership, judgement, leash work, thresholds, how to use equipment, and how to manage emotions with their dog. Then we have to test those skills across environments. 

It’s a journey that not every dog owner takes, but as well worth it to those who do!
