Fixing Kaia’s fetch! Board and train Kaia LOVES to chase and catch the stick! But she had a couple areas to improve to really have an A Game when it comes to fetch.
1- no take backs
2- you gotta bring it back and give it to me before I can throw it again
3- I know you’re excited but you’ve still got to think ;)

Archie make a mistake during one of his sessions in his board and train program, what ever shall we do?! Interrupt, redirect, try again! Reward increased effort and better success. Do this as quickly and as smoothly as possible instead of dilly dallying, repositioning, asking what he did wrong or why he did it. Get the dog in the zone of “right,” asap 😘

Charlie is two weeks into his board and train. His obedience is developing nicely as is his ability to concentrate around perform around distractions. Really loving his progress 💕

Morning warm ups :) Can you tell which dog just got done working fetch and drop it outside? How about who needed a leash pop to settle down once I stopped recording?

Recent board and train arrival Morty is starting to get the hang of his recalls!

Real sh*t. One week in and board and train Harley is no longer taking me skiing while she is explosively reacting at other dogs. She’s one week in and has been doing beautifully around so many dogs not behind a barrier. But when we walked by the “dog in a fenced yard” she started thinking about reverting to some of those old habits that she was pretty strong in not so long ago. So I quickly snagged someone to video progress for her owners and figured I would share a snippet with y’all of what it looked like while we worked thru it.

Before and after our board and train program with Ruby Rose! This lovely lady was adopted from rescue and came with a little bit of mental baggage. Thru our board and train program she developed a ton of confidence and started to truly enjoy going places and being responsive to the commands she had learned.

After a bit more training and maturity (2wks) board and train puppy Toby John is still very happy to do the work but with much more self discipline. The video only shows some basic obedience but this puppy is no longer biting a scratching the owners skin, he’s no longer chaotic and un catchable. He can stay in an x pen (think play pen) for a few hours when unattended without accidents, barking or naughtiness. This way if mom has to go somewhere without the dog he’s not having bad practice, potty accidents or practicing nuisance behavior. He’s been to so many public outings, she can take him wherever she goes and still have a responsive well behaved lad that is focused more on her than his environment. And when it’s free time, she can get him back to her. Our programs not only educate the dog but they help your dog to grow and develop into a wonderful companion. What’s more is that we educate the owners to ensure the long term, successful results we are known for. So happy for Toby John 💕

Board and Train puppy Toby John 2 weeks ago having fun playing with his trainer, Charlee! Here you can see he’s got a nice foundation being laid, and he is filled enthusiasm! Cute as it may be, he has not quite settled into the tasks at hand. “But he looks so happy!” You might say. “How could that possibly be a bad thing?” Because if a leaf blows by his face and his handler’s response time is not swift, his little puppy attention will blow away right with that leaf. 🍃 Moving forward, we want to see his joy and enthusiasm remain while becoming more settled and disciplined in his work. This way he can stay with his handler amongst fun distractions and wait for the appropriate time to go be involved with those exciting things, instead of when he is supposed to be remaining with his handler. Self discipline is something that does not happen overnight, it is worked on and developed over time. That being said, as this young dog grows and matures, he’s going to have setbacks and days where he struggles to excel. This is perfectly normal, just like people that are developing their own self discipline. It’s important that when these moments happen that you are there to support, prevent, direct, and reward the right choices instead of giving up and wondering why everything fell apart.

Playing tug is an excellent way to have fun with your dog, wear them out and still work on trust and respect. Let your dog win the toy, a lot! Teaching the drop it cue is super important and should be taught once your dog really loves the tug game. Once you say the word, the toy doesn’t move and neither do you. I’m nice they finally let go, mark it with a yes! Or ok! Or whatever your word is and THEN start the game back up immediately. Show them that dropping the you make the game fire back up.
Ps Douglas is the bestest 💕
