Today Bingsoo learned step 1 of a great foundation heel!
His mom's goal is to be able to have Bingsoo learn to heel past dogs and other distractions:)
Got a new puppy in your family? Puppies are adorable and fun, but they can be a lot of work! We’ll be sharing our top Puppy Fact & Tips, featuring Ellie, a 12 week old mini goldendoodle 💜

Ezra the shepherd mix gives a quick hello to his biggest fan (it's me. I'm obsessed 😅) before absolutely killing his stay with distractions practice!
Training with us will never result in your dog losing any of their personality or becoming a "robot." You can have a really well behaved dog who is still their silly, goofy self. You'll never have to choose between a well behaved dog and a dog who brings a smile to your face and a laugh to your lips when you work with us!

Big Puppies = Big Party 😎🥳
Do you have a herding dog? What kind of herding games & outlets do you provide for your dog?
... have you ever considered teaching your dog to play soccer? If not, you should try it! Dog soccer is a workout for their brain & body, as well as your training skills!
This activity can be a simple as training them to push the ball on cue and as complex as hiding the ball in your home for them to find and push it into a particular room. Tapping into your breeds natural instincts is a sure fire way to make them happy & leave them feeling fulfilled- this is what they were born to do after all!
If you don't know what sorts of things your dog was bred to do, consider getting lost on a 4-hour googling spree to find out and source some inspirational games! Alternatively, you can also just message me and we can create a plan together :)
Who doesn't love a nice "go to bed" cue?
Would you ever guess that these were the shy puppies? The ones that tucked their tail, ran from the others & hid under chairs in other puppy classes?
Building your puppies confidence starts with finding the right environment and the right friends for them! It can take time but at the end of the day, they're worth it :)
Post program check in!
After program check ins are a hugely underrated aspect of a good dog training program. It's never a good sign when a trainer ghosts you after your program is complete with them :( maintaining habits can be a huge challenge! You deserve to make sure all that hard work pays off and sticks around.
6 weeks after completing the walk n train program Ridley the Corgi & his human are absolutely killing it 👏
There's no age limit on learning. Little Daisy here is 9 years old and ready to learn how to walk nicely!
9 years of worth unwanted habits don't stand a chance against a bag of treats & a can do attitude :)
Good reactivity training should look pretty boring 😴 it may seem counter intuitive at first but the reason why we want it to look boring is because boring is what we're actually after!
What we want is boring: no full body freezing, staring, barking, lunging etc. No freaking out! So that's what we're here to practice :)
Ain't no party like a puppy party!
When I met Charlie, she was a hot mess. Barking, lunging, wild-eyed with over excitement, swallowing everything she could fit into her mouth, and chewing everything else. She could barely take treats without breaking skin.
A month of walk n trains later & here we are! Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish in just a month?
Sometimes you gotta just pick up a giant push caterpillar and give it a really good shake 🤷♀️
