Tug isn’t about dominance — it’s about connection. 💪🐾

When we teach our dogs how to play with rules and structure, tug becomes one of the most powerful ways to build confidence, trust, and focus.
It’s not just “burning energy” — it’s deepening the relationship. ❤️

So go grab a tug toy and make playtime meaningful!

Guess who's back at Z2H?! It's Sven, the sweet, stick loving GSD we rehomed earlier this year 🧡 Don't worry he's not back for good, he's only visiting for the day!

We're happy to report that he's still living his best life with his people where he gets to romp in the water, take long walkies down beautiful back country roads and get aaaaall the sticks and belly scratches he could ever want 🐾🦴

Seeing him happy and content warms our hearts and reminds us that the core of our business is helping dogs find happiness 🐶🧡

Every reactive dog has their own story — fear, frustration, overexcitement, or a mix of all three. The secret to helping them isn’t just “correcting” the behavior, it’s uncovering what’s driving it 🧐

Once we understand the why, we can create training plans that rebuild confidence, teach focus, and replace chaos with calm 🐶

💬 Have a reactive dog at home? Our training programs are designed to uncover the root cause and help your dog move forward with confidence so they can live their best doggy life 🧡

Where does your dog fall on the social scale? 🐕

Confidence for the fearful, impulse control for the overly social — the sweet spot is neutrality. 🌟

That’s when you know your dog can truly handle the world. 🌎🐾
