Service dog in training Mishka recently stayed with our dog trainer Lauren for a four week board & train!
Her handler’s main goals were:
• Handler engagement
• Loose leash heel
• Place command
• Down stay in public
• Ignoring people & dogs
Lauren was able to tackle each goal and made incredible progress! Safe to say Mishka’s handler was very happy with her progress. 👏

SDiT Senna & Tucker tackled Michaels in a semi-private training session to work on general public access skills, body awareness, and handler separation (switched handlers) 🐕🦺
They both rocked this session like pros!
Service dog group training this afternoon🦮
All teams did great! They learned new skills to work on and got to do some team exercises.
The dogs were also complimented by multiple of the staff at the store on their good behaviour!

Hanaa - Walk & Train 🐾
This beautiful girl moved to Canada after living a not so easy life in Saudi Arabia… Her amazing owner reached out to us before they even moved here to get Hanaa into some training for leash manners, dog & people reactivity, as well as daily walks.
Hanaa is currently enrolled in our 8 week walk and train program. She has come so far in such little time and I couldn’t be more proud of her amazing progress🥹
And we’re back at it 🤩 Hero’s first jumps of the year! Looking forward to comps with my boy!
Thanks to Avalon Ranch, Dog Sports Training always a blast!
Little trick training fun with Riley during his pack walk! 🤩💙
Oats had her first training session with us yesterday! 💜
We worked on:
-Leave it
-Loose leash walking
-Handler engagement
-Recall
-Impulse control
Oats is eager to please and quick to pick things up! She’s so fun to train and I can’t wait to see all the progress she will have made in four weeks 🤩
Athena - SDiT
Athena has been training to be a service dog with us since she was brought home after adoption! This sweet girl showed great potential from day one and we couldn’t wait to work with her!
Her handler has had to work a bit harder with her regarding loose leash heeling, focus in high distraction environments and desensitization.
Look at them rocking it 🤩
Brinx - Service Dog in Training
Some clips from our outting at the mall this afternoon. This amazing girl rocked it and continues to impress me🤩
Brinx is a psychiatric service dog in training currently enrolled in our service dog training program level 1.
She will be training one on one with me until she is ready to begin working with her handler. Lots of exciting things in this girl’s future and I am so blessed to be part of it all❤️
This is the way I live 🥰 Surrounded by a bunch of pups every single day, I wouldn’t change it for anything!

✨Monday Misconceptions & Reality in Dog Training✨
MYTH:
I shouldn’t use food to train because then I will always need food in hand to get my dog to do something.
REALITY:
Your dog will only look for food in your hand in the future IF you do not fade out the food lures with time and ONCE your dog understands what is expected of them.
To expect your dog to learn without giving them something to work for is like asking someone who can’t hear to listen to you. 🤪

We LOVE getting pupdates from our previous rescue pups who are now happily in their furever homes🥰😍
Look at mister Ottie go!! 🤩
✨ Before & After dog who pulls on the leash ✨
Oats began private walks with us in hopes to join our pack walks.
One of the first things I noticed was how all over the place she was and of course this led to her pulling like crazy. We immediately started working on having her more engaged with the handler. This is after only 10mins of engagement, rewards and building our relationship.
Watch her go from dragging me on the street to loose leash walking with an automatic focus🤩
Belzie had her second training session with us today and she ROCKED the loose leash walking!! 🤩
Her pawrents are very devoted to her training which is resulting in great progress in such a short period of time! Super proud of them for being patient, consistent and keeping sessions positive 👏💕
Got to play around with some agility equipment today 🤩
Hero and I hadn’t done agility in months, were both a little rusty but seeing how happy he was getting back into it made my whole week 🥰
Lady & Willow working on socialization & impulse control next to a dog park!
They did FANTASTIC🤩
Lady has a hard time with her pray drive and seeing other dogs running is definitely a challenge for her. We’ve been working on snapping her out of starring and redirecting her focus onto us as well as not barking at the other dogs and being polite👏
Willow has difficulty focusing around other dogs as she is a very playful and friendly puppy! We worked on some focus and in the video you can hear her whining, this is when I snapped her out of it by asking her to focus on me and not the trigger (the other dogs playing)👏
Did you know that THIS is a great way to socialize your dogs??? If your dog is able to sit nicely next to you and watch other dogs, THAT is a well socialized pup.
Try this little exercise next time you take your pup out to the park and tag us so we can see your well behaved pup being good citizens🐾
Happy Monday ☺️☕️
The pups had zoom zooms in them this morning!
Brinx, Nikko, Cali & Maddie 💕
