Happy national dog day

Zoey has been with us for the past week and we’ve been working on tightening up her off leash obedience and instilling some calmness in her. Really happy with how far she’s come.

Sadie is back with her owner and we’ve been working on thresholds and boundaries of play, sits and down stays under distractions as well as improving her heel and break commands.

We met with “Blu” today who’s been dealing with some poor leash manners, leash reactivity, dog aggression and some fear based reactivity. We met with the owners to discuss tactics for correcting the unwanted behaviours. We also switched out his halti for a herm sprenger and the communication through the leash was instantly improved. He has a good understanding of the loose leash walk and we taught him a heel and a break command. No more pulling!

For anyone thinking of getting a dog. Here’s some of the biggest mistakes the average dog owner makes. I think many dog trainers would agree:

1) getting the wrong dog(breed, energy level, etc.) for your lifestyle and ability

2) giving the dog or puppy too much freedom too soon inside the home

3) not starting training day one

4) not exposing the dog to the outside world from the start

5) thinking socialization is meeting every dog and human under the sun

6) going to A dog park

7) getting another dog for your dog

Chip was enrolled in our board and train program where we focused on developing calmness, used desensitization, and socialization techniques to make his fear based reactions happen less frequently. I’m really happy to receive e-mails like this and I’m glad Chip is doing so well back at home with his family.

Happy national pet day. On this special day, take some extra time to spoil your pets with treats, playtime, and snuggles. They deserve it!

Welcome to our board and train “Zoe”. She is a sweet pup full of energy! We are going to be working on loose leash walking, thresholds, and recall today.

Out for a nice drive today. Enjoying the sun and the fresh air ☀️

Today we met with “Teddy” and his owners to work on an introduction to the heel and break command, recall, as well as correcting his jumping and aggressive hu***ng behaviours. We utilized the slip leash to correct the unwanted behaviours and help increase his level of engagement.

03/18/2024

During our meeting with 'Chip' and his owners, we focused on developing strategies to reduce his aggression, barking, and reactivity towards people approaching the front entrance of the home.

We met with “Ralphie” and his owner this morning for an introduction to heeling and to work on thresholds at doorways.

“Misia” came to us with some leash reactivity towards slow moving vehicles, as well as some dog reactivity and other fear based reactivity. Her owners have been practicing our training methods and providing well timed leash corrections during her “loading stage” of reacting and giving her an alternative task to complete. (heel and break commands) Her eye contact with her owners has been increasing significantly during the walks in the past couple weeks and her owners have been working really hard on her heel work and it shows! We went through some long line drills today to improve her recall and some socialization with my neutral bulldog “Chunk”. Her reactions have become far less and they are on the road to success.

Contact us today to find out how to improve the relationship with your dog!

“Jet” is staying with us for our board and train program this week. His owner is needing some assistance with getting him potty trained properly as well as obedience, and getting him walking nicely on the leash.

Bite work with “Chunk”

“Scooby” came to see us for our board and train program. He’s a 1 year old Bernedoodle. We’re working on leash work and establishing a heel and break command as well as overall obedience.

“Bauer” came to see us for our board and train program today.

It’s wet out there but we’re going hard with the leash work this morning. He’s a big puller and likes to put the brakes on during the walk so we’re using food to lure and the Herm Sprenger to encourage moving forward.

Working on some drills with my personal dogs today. Tightening up our heel command, place command and engagement. When working with multiple dogs it’s important to cue the command first with the dogs name, followed by the command to avoid confusion between dogs.

We always begin in a low distraction environment when learning new commands and we then transition out into the real world once the dog has a good understanding. I go from practicing these commands in the home to the driveway and then out into the real world under real distractions. Marking the command with a “good” lets the dog know to keep up what he/she is doing.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to us for all your training and obedience needs.

It’s a great day to play in the snow ❄️

Casper came back to see us today for our board and train program.

Today we worked on tightening up his heel and break commands. Sit and down stays under distraction at a distance and some off leash recall using the Chuck It for a reward. I’m marking all of his eye contact with a “good” so he understands that good things come with it.

Today “Casper” came to see us for our board and train program.
He was experiencing some leash reactivity, excessive barking at people and other dogs and pulling pretty hard on the leash.
He now has a really good understanding of leash pressure and his owners are able to “turn him on and off” with a heel and a solid break command. We also taught a “leave it” command and he is now able to pass other humans and dogs without reacting. Today we also worked on thresholds and recall.
He loves to work for the ball just as much as his treats. Really happy with his progress today!
