🐾 Building Confidence Through Obstacle Courses! 🐾
One of the best ways to help puppies grow into confident, well-adjusted dogs is by introducing them to new challenges in a positive way, and that’s exactly what we do in our SuperPups program!
Obstacle courses aren’t just fun; they help pups develop:
✅ Body awareness – Learning how to navigate different surfaces and heights
✅ Problem-solving skills – Figuring out how to get from A to B
✅ Resilience – Overcoming new and “scary” things in a safe environment
✅ Trust in their handler – Building a strong, positive bond
By guiding them through tunnels, wobble boards, ramps, and other obstacles, we teach puppies that they can tackle new experiences with confidence. This sets them up for success in the real world—whether it’s walking on different surfaces, climbing stairs, or staying calm in new environments.
SuperPups is all about fun, learning, and growing together! One obstacle at a time! 💪🐶

Miss Maci is doing a fantastic job learning her door manners! 🚪🐾
Teaching dogs to wait calmly at the door helps keep them safe, reduces barging through, and minimizes barking at visitors.
It also sets clear boundaries and household rules, creating a more relaxed home environment.
🗝️ Consistency is key—practicing every day helps reinforce these good habits.
Keep it up, Maci! 👏
