Nothing makes us happier than hearing how the skills learned in class serve our students and their pups in the real world 🌎 Charlie here has been learning the importance of responding to her mums recall and thanks to the techniques learned in class, and daily practice, Charlie’s recall was successful even in the face of a big distraction 🙈We are so proud! Keep up the good work Charlie and Joelle 👏🏻How’s your pups recall? We’re here to help! Contact us for an inquiry anytime at [email protected] 📧
NEW PUPPY?! 🐶Whether you’ve had a puppy before or this is your first time, we all know that with all the joys of puppyhood, also come the difficult lessons. Let us equip you with all the proper tools 🧰 to make you and your pups journey through the most formative years of their life as smooth as possible 😅 with lots of FUN as a bonus! We have a few more spots left in our JR Puppy Level 1 classes this semester at our low price for the last time before prices go up!

In August 2022, several of our instructors competed at the UKI Agility Canadian Championship 🏃♀️🐕
Shown here is Instructor Hannah and her five year old Border Collie Zest.
Zest and Hannah have been doing agility together for years now, but they started their journey when Zest was just a pup. Once Zest had basic obedience, Hannah started teaching her important foundation skills that made her the incredible competitor she is today!
These great foundations skills are all taught in our Sport Foundation 1 & 2 class.
These classes focus on teaching dogs engagement with their owners, body awareness, and safe introduction to some equipment. The classes are also a whole lot of fun and great for improving your relationship with your dog (even if you don't plan on ever competing!).
We have new Sport Foundation classes starting soon and would love to have you and your pup join us! Please check out our website https://www.insynccanines.com/sport-classes
If you aren't sure if this is the right class for you, you can also reach to us at [email protected] :)
It's a cold, wet day in Georgetown BUT we can still have fun inside, keeping our pup's body and mind working ❤️
Trick training is a great way to physically and mentally engage your pup, especially on days when a walk isn't ideal 🌧️☔🌧️ . In this video, the InSync pack demonstrates just a few of the tricks we teach in our Tricks 101 class.
We hope you and your pup will join us for the next round of Tricks 101, starting Monday, November 14th at 3:45pm!
Check it out at www.insynccanines.com/sport-classes for more info.
Do you ever get to a point in your training where both you and your pup are frustrated? 😩 It is in these moments that we invite you to remember- LESS IS MORE! 👀
This means breaking things down and celebrating small steps forward instead of expecting too much too fast, and pushing the expectations too high before pup is ready 🤓
When it comes to training, we want our dogs to be willful participants. It helps when we leave them wanting more VS in a place where they’ve had enough 🙄
If you’re tempted to keep pushing, take a step back, a deep breath and try again.. next time keeping it short and sweet. Remember, dog training ought to bring you and your pup closer, so let’s keep it fun! 🥳

Have you ever considered taking a Sport Foundations class with your pup? 🧐 Perhaps you aren’t planning to go into dog sports… but GUESS WHAT?! You don’t have to be to reap the benefits! 🤯Besides a great intro to dog sports, our Sport classes are a perfect fit for pups that need to grow in their confidence, their trust and relationship with YOU, and could benefit from both some physical and mental stimulation 😅We’re overjoyed with how far these puppers have already come as they wrap up Week 6 and prepare for Graduation day next week! 🙈🥳 Have any questions about our Sport Classes? Feel free to shoot us an email at [email protected] 💙#puppyconfidence #puppystimulation #sportfoundations #puppyclasses #dogsports #obstaclecourse
Have you ever considered how your OWN emotions affect your dog and your training?
Ever notice that when you’re in a particular hurry or really NEED your dog to remember his training or be a”good dog”, your pup seems to act out or check out? OR, ever notice that your dog lacks enthusiasm and engagement? GUESS WHAT? There’s a reason for that!
Yes, our emotions highly affect the dogs around us. They can sense when we are frustrated, nervous and lack confidence. Alternatively they can also sense when we’re calm, cool and collected.
Being aware of how our emotions affect our pups can set us and our dogs up for success when training and even prove to be a valuable tool to kick our success up a few notches!
Check out what trainer Veronica has to share on the topic 👀
Can you think of a scenario where realizing this could help you in the future?

Generalizing the “Place” Command
How well does your pup know their “place” command?! 🤔
Here at InSync Canines we know pups are contextual learners. That’s why we strive to help them generalize different commands even when the “picture” has changed 👀
📣CHALLENGE: 📣Try working on generalizing your pups “place” command on different surfaces at home! Try it out on a bath mat, the kitchen mat, the welcome mat, your exercise mat… the world is your oyster! 🦪
Take a video and send it over to [email protected]! We’d love to see how you’ve been able to apply this at home 🤓
Happy Training! 🎉

Who wants a pup with good manners?! We don’t know about you, but we’re sure we do! 👍🏻
A “default sit” is one of the first things we love to teach our puppies! 🐶
Pups are constantly trying to make sense of the world around them and it’s up to us to show them what we desire in our house holds 🤓
CHECK OUT our latest SoundBite as Veronica sheds some light on why we recommend teaching your puppies the “default sit.”
STAY TUNED for a follow up next week as Bear shows us how he’s been working on his default sits at home! 👀

Have you ever considered how your pups emotions play into training?😲 Did you know we have the tools to help them achieve a particular emotion?
For example, our voices are a powerful tool when it comes to training and communicating with our pups 📣Both TONE and VOLUME can largely impact what our pups feel and how they respond . CHECK OUT our most recent sound bite, as Hannah’s tips help us grow in our awareness and become better trainers for our pups 🏅

What does it mean to be PRESENT to your dog? Sometimes while on a walk we may be tempted to check out, or check our phones, instead of being accessible and open to our pups.
However, your pup might need a little more support on your end to set them up for success. Remember, especially early on in pups training, walks are for our puppies and not quite for us. This means we want to strive to be intentional while on our walks 🐾
CHECK OUT todays Sound Bite as Hannah shares what it means to be present to your pup!

“MIDDLE!” 🤩 We love when our students send us fun videos of their progress!
Look at little @bentleycobberdog go! 🥇& what a perfect reminder to get creative with your training locations to help build and fine tune those fun games and easy commands!
REMEMBER: Pups are CONTEXTUAL. Mastered your commands indoors? Practice them while on a walk next time you’re out enjoying nature 👍🏻
Wondering about the purpose of “Middle?” Check out our previous post for the benefits of this fun trick! https://www.instagram.com/p/CaDZPHEp-ah/?utm_medium=copy_link
