🦷🩸From biting and thrashing to calm and confident—Aggression doesn’t have to define a dog’s future. ✨️
Gracie came to us for aggression 😬. She was easily over-aroused—nipping quickly progressed to biting and thrashing, not letting go, constantly escalating with no "off" switch 🚨. She didn't have any reliable behaviors, and anything fun her owners tried to do ended up with her jumping at them with teeth 🦷. Even trying something as simple as following a food lure 🍖, ended up in her grabbing your hand and thrashing.
She is entering **week 3 of 4** of her board and train and is doing amazing! 🌟 Calm, confident, and happy 🐾. We provided proper outlets for her energy and established clear boundaries so she understands not to use people as a way to release frustration 🙌.
Even though she's young 🐕, it was crucial to curve this behavior early so she has a bright and successful future ahead 🌈. Not one where you see a dog losing their home 🏡 or being medicated oh psychological numbing drugs💊 due to aggression, impulse and control issues that could have been addressed sooner. She was headed down that path, but now she's getting the help she needed ❤️.
We will provide **ANY** support Gracie needs following her board and train 🛠️, and we absolutely love the dedication of her owners 💕. This dog is going to have an amazing life! 🐶🎉

Dressage Heeling: Precision and Partnership 🐾
Dressage heeling isn’t just movement—it’s a dance of focus and connection between handler and dog. Rooted in control, flow, and mutual trust, it highlights the beauty of precise teamwork.
✨ Why Dressage Heeling for me?
🐕Clear Communication: Builds seamless understanding between dog and handler while working on speed and precision.
🐕Focused Engagement: Keeps dogs sharp, engaged and mentally active.
🐕Stronger Bond: Each step of training reinforces trust and teamwork. "Teamwork makes dream work."
➡️ Also, I dont have to be in a sport to showcase my dog's abilities, even though others had their 'nice' things to say about that. For real life circumstances, he goes with me everywhere and is exactly what I wanted and needed in a dog.
➡️ Secondly, the sports I'm interested in aren't available where I live and would require a 2.5hr plane ride and car rental with 2+ hours of driving, one way, weekly or bi-weekly, to make it work.
➡️ Also, if you asked me his bloodlines, and I gave a general or vague answer - instead of names, its probably bc I don't have a working relationship with you. 🌟
💖 For those coming into the industry, let your dog's be the motivation and reflection of your abilities. There is nothing that matters more than looking down and cherishing that bond, with the eyes of the dog looking back up at you❤

So, this guy is always around when I'm with the horse. Guess that means it's time to switch things up a bit.😉 I'm thinking some lure training would be #fun! He's super food motivated, so it shouldn't be too hard, right? 🦆
Vykör doesn't seem too happy about all this..🤣🤣 We made a first attempt on leash to co-exist, but natural instincts have another plan 🫢 solo with Fred for now...
Next.... marker conditioning....

Pro tip to enhance your training and your bonding
#dogtraining #dog #obedience #bond #fun
We had a fantastic puppy class that emphasized human-to-dog socialization. We practiced swapping handlers to ensure puppies get used to being handled by different people, which is crucial for their interactions with vets, groomers, people they're going to interact with around them, and trainers. We paid close attention to each puppy's comfort levels and taught them how to settle when excited.
Additionally, we worked on engagement exercises, place training, and focus work, and everyone made great progress. I'm incredibly proud of each participant's development.
Out next set of classes are due end of June or early July!

During this activity, we engaged with a young Rottweiler pup who seemed uneasy about hands approaching over his head. Observing his body language, we noticed a mix of curiosity and hesitation. It's crucial to transform this into a positive experience, employing food and desensitization methods. Refinements of this exercise will be necessary for extremely nervous puppies.
Our next set of classes:
End of June or early July 2024

🐕THIS...🐕
We're thrilled to have started our puppy class!
It's the first of many, and we're really focusing on fun activities to engage amongst other puppies.
It's all about getting them moving and making sure they're connected with their owners.
