Tricks Class pups crushing their first chain command! 👏
The gorgeous Nellie and her devoted owner Jessica, showing off the walking skills they learned with Catherine. Jessica does an awesome job of letting Nellie be a dog while also rewarding the important skills Nellie has learned and now offers. With these skills, their walks are safe and enjoyable for both of them.
If you and your dog could use some guidance on how to make your walks more enjoyable, contact Catherine at [email protected].

Jackie and her devoted people have made amazing progress. Jackie is very comfortable providing a chin rest with duration while her person moves the eye drop bottle towards her face. Cooperative care makes medical procedures so much less stressful for people and dogs alike!

Jackie has some health issues that will require regular treatment so her devoted people sought out some private training to work on cooperative care. Here is Jackie demonstrating a beautiful chin rest behaviour that, in the future, she can use to tell her people that she’s ready for treatment! We will slowly progress to having Jackie’s people put their hands on Jackie’s face - all at a pace that Jackie is comfortable with (and supported by lots of cheese rewards).
If you would like some private (or group) training sessions for your dog, contact Catherine at [email protected].

Tonight two of our advanced life skills teams practiced the super cool skill of taking a breath on a cue. Watch for Finley’s big black nose flares and Zelda’s lips balloon out as she takes in the deep breath. Being able to take a breath on a cue is one of the important steps in helping our dogs relax. Way to go Finley and Zelda!!

Benny has some excellent recall around his gorgeous property. But he enjoys himself outside so much that, when called inside, he was avoiding coming all the way through the door. Catherine spent time with his fantastic owners and we played some games with Benny to make coming inside (and sometimes going back outside!) rewarding. Look at this progress after only a few days!
If you need some help improving your dog’s recall, contact Catherine for some private training at [email protected].
