Way to go Pepsi!!

Paws up to Mavrick 🐾🐾🎉 he just completed Walk This Way 4 And he has a long way since we first started. The seven month old golden retriever. Pup had loads of energy and was really difficult to walk on leash and now he walks a lot better with the help of the sidekick and clearer direction. We also worked on his recall, structured play, and how to go to place and relax.
Way to go big guy!!

Let’s welcome Amy to the training family 🐾🐾 This Rottweiler Pitbull cross has some pretty big emotions about other dogs on leash, vans, cars and pretty much anything on wheels.
She came to her family a year ago and they have done a great job with her, but now it’s time to set them up for success!

Happy Friday was had by all!

08/28/2024

Rainy day means indoor playtime for these 2 day training pups. Frankie and Tokyo had a blast at the indoor dog park this afternoon.
It’s not often I take dogs to these kind of places, but this is very well run and they also have treadmills, swimming pool and a separate small dog side. When it’s busy it’s a bit much, but the puppy referee’s do a great job👍ca

08/24/2024

Haven’t been posting all week as I’ve been sick with Covid, but today feeling slightly more human and we have a little house guest who’s keeping everyone on their toes.
Hoping to be back in full swing next week.

We are seriously so lucky to have these parks, rivers and trails to walk our dogs.
Today we mixed in some leash walk with off leash and the result was tired and happy dogs, and we all felt better for doing it 👍

Paws up to this super star for completing Walk This Way 4 🎉🎉✨✨
Elton’s owners needed help with resource guarding, leash walking and improving their relationship. We created more strucuture in the home, newly defined roles so Elton doesn’t think he owns everything and learned how to implement rules in games.
Not only is Elton the cutest little wiener ever he his now a better behaved one 👍
Keep up the great work guys 👏👏🐾🐾

I loved working with her, and she will make an excellent companion for anyone who adopts her.

THIS👏👏💯💯

Biology loads the gun. Environment pulls the trigger—(Brene Brown).

In other words... we ALL come into this world with our very own, unique temperament & personality — yes, even our dogs. No different from you to your siblings, each one of us is born with traits that our environment either enhances, or suppresses.

Whether our dog has come with “sass” already installed or not, an environment void of structure, boundaries, and rules for what’s acceptable, and what isn’t, will guarantee behavioral tendencies bloom to their worst.

Naturally, when there is a void in anything, something comes along to fill it. In doggy land, this tends to look like an owner that feels mean making their dog do anything it doesn’t want to, thereby allowing them to make their own decisions, left navigating their own way through life without any guidance or instruction. Depending on the personality lottery we’ve been gifted, a dog allowed to make their own choices based on their unique personality and impulse alone, can get real messy, leaving us with an overly suspicious, skittish, chronically stressed, anxious, or aggressive tyrant.

As simple as this may sound, LEADING in a common sense fashion — teaching a dog what we do and don’t want — can help shape the best dog possible, regardless of their preprogrammed baggage. What we need NOT do is allow dogs the freedom to make choices based on assumption alone — unless of course we desire an intensification of the current behavioral issues we may be experiencing.

Filling the void with a bit of instruction may not guarantee we will not see any issues, but it can certainly lessen the possibility of its escalation.

Last nights training session with Elton👏
This cutie went out on a structured walk with a few more distractions and met a new pal Bagel❤️
In this session we went to north glenmore park to work on passing other dogs without reacting, supportive shadowing and focused wait. Both dogs did great and everyone had fun doing it!

Everyone be happy the sun is a shining 😊🐾🐾

Paws up to little Frankie for completing the puppy day training program 👏👏 Frankie is a mini bernedoodle that learned to leash walk, gained confidence, learned to love her crate, and did great with recall and socialization. This is just the beginning for this young pup and we can’t wait to continue to work with her and her family to gain new confidences and skills.

08/05/2024

Let’s give a paws up to Joey for completing 6 weeks of puppy day training 👏👏👏
This guy did so great learning to leash walk, recall, place, socialization and so much more, and his family are loving the results👍
Keep it up Joey!

Bad hair CC don’t care, but she does care about people coming into the home, being able to do what we she wants when she wants, and being the big lady boss in regards to everything. Today, that changed. CC’s family can’t walk her as she pulls and is reactive, she barks constantly, runs out the door any chance she gets and if you correct her she will try to bite you. So life with CC hasn’t been all that.
Luckily Heathers heroes sidekick saved the day once again. There was some obvious resistance to the new tool, but by the end of the first session she was chilled in place and her energy completely shifted. Of course she’s not 100 % on board, this takes time but what a noticeable difference, and a great start to the Walk This Way 4 training package.

Welcome to the family CC! 🐾🐾👏👏
