MEET OUR NEWEST FOSTER DOG! ✨

Details on Nina…

-3 years old (DOB 5/5/2021)
-Chocolate Labrador Retriever
-sweet, smart & ready for a new beginning!

Nina is an AKC-certified sweet, smart girl who is ready for a new beginning—Nina is looking for a forever home that will offer her the love, structure, and training she needs to thrive!

Nina was raised by a dedicated breeder who followed the Military Smart Dog Program and Puppy Potential curriculum, ensuring a strong early foundation in training. Nina spent the first 16 weeks of her life with her breeder, receiving early socialization and a great start with her mom and brother, who were both enrolled in our very own Board & Train programs here at Unleashed Canine Obedience!

After 2 years, Nina was returned to the breeder due to her previous family’s health challenges. Nina is great with kids, sweet, and loves to please. She is smart and food motivated, making her eager to learn with the right training. She is clear on all common Labrador genetic tests too!

While Nina has a great start and a solid foundation, she needs more training as an adult. She’ll thrive in a home that’s ready to continue her training, give her structure, and work on her behavior to help her reach her full potential and become a wonderful companion.

If you're looking for a loving dog with a sweet disposition with the drive to learn, Nina could be the perfect addition to your family. If you OR someone you know could be the perfect fit, just send us a message here OR head to our website to get in touch.

Help us find Nina the loving home she deserves!

Cali is shy, BUT an incredibly sweet girl who is looking for her forever family!

When we met Cali, she was living in the area on her own AND definitely has a healthy sense of adventure as she traveled all the way from Amelia to Batavia township before fostering with us!

Cali has been slowly coming out of her shell AND we have truly enjoyed getting to see her delightful, silly personality blossom.

Potty training your puppy? Here are a some things you might be feeling: excited, frustrated, hopeful, sleep deprived, stressed, AND maybe even a little bit like a detective decoding your puppy’s behavior!

YOU are not alone AND you are on the right path…

Potty training requires your puppy to learn a number of concepts that they then must string together to be considered potty trained.

Every puppy is different AND learning to trust your puppy as they figure out the whole potty thing takes time. It’s completely normal to have a few (OR a lot) of setbacks, BUT each time you patiently guide your puppy through the process, you’re teaching them valuable lessons about how to be a successful member of the family.

AND, if you are needing a little extra support, use the link in our bio to read our thoughts on the EASIEST way to potty train your puppy.

Let us know how it goes!

It’s a brand NEW YEAR and we cannot wait to continue learning + growing with you in 2025!

With snow blanketing the ground, reminding us of all ways the new year can act as a fresh start, we try to remind ourselves that this time of year can also be the perfect opportunity to slow down. With less hours in the day (which means less vitamin D too!), it can seem like time is our most precious resource!

TO ALL our tired mothers out there: you don’t need to keep your puppy constantly entertained! Sleep is an important part of the equation - just like playing with friends or learning new things! Do you know how much sleep your dog OR puppy needs?

If you want to know more about the advantages of proper sleep, just use the link in our bio to get all the details….

Why does my dog have selective hearing? How do I get them to listen?

If you’ve ever sought out answers to these questions, you’re not alone - we’ve been there too!

EMOTION + THOUGHT = BEHAVIOR and, although we prefer free behaviors, when we do have to manage our dogs with obedience commands, we need to make sure our obedience commands are proofed.

When we focus on relaxation and shaping a dog that feels calm + confident, the need to manage your dog will become less and less frequent too. (Which is really nice because that’s one less job for us!)

AND, to do this, we incorporate the three D’s - distance, duration, & distractions - when practicing our obedience commands! If you have questions about how to proof your obedience commands with your dog, comment below to get in touch!

Just your daily reminder to not be too hard on yourself!

Sometimes our inner critic will remind us of all the things we aren’t doing throughout our training journey…

…BUT the goal is PROGRESS not perfection!

“The work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the person who does things.”

Keep going and let us know if you have questions along the way!

We’d like you to meet Tucker! This amazing guy is looking for his forever home…

Tucker is a 1.5-year-old, 40 lb Chocolate Lab (mix) who loves cuddling and being close to his people - he’s happy to snuggle on the couch or be your hiking buddy! Tucker has never met a stranger and is submissive with other dogs and gentle with other animals as well as children.

His superpowers include being eager to please as he's a fast learner! Tucker comes when called and sits on command. He walks nicely on a leash and is well behaved around other dogs and animals. He goes into his crate with ease and loves to ride in the car.

Tucker is still working on house training, BUT he is smart and gets the hang of things quickly. He has already learned to ring a bell on the door when he needs to go potty!

Tucker would live his best life with a fenced in yard and an owner who works from home or has a hybrid schedule. Do you know anyone who might be the perfect match?

Currently, Tucker is with a foster in Loveland, OH and can be adopted through Louie's Legacy. If you have questions about this sweet guy OR think you or someone you know could be the one for Tucker, please just let us know!

Today, as we were hiking in the woods, we had a thought…

Your view creates your experience. Walking in a new direction made the whole woods look completely different.

Does your dog have a behavior problem OR a perception problem?

BECAUSE if you have a perception problem, but you use obedience commands to solve it - or try to solve it - you won’t necessarily change your dog’s perception.

You’ll just be controlling their behavior as a result of that perception.

Your view creates your reality.

If we instead shift your dog’s perception, the behaviors you really want will often follow naturally. How can we experience more confidence, joy, and fun?

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

As a mother-daughter team, we wanted to pause and take a moment to appreciate mothers and the bond we build caring for our kids. This day means a million different things and can bring about lots of emotions.

Whatever your journey might be, we love you and hope you find time today to love and receive that nurturing energy from all the mothering figures in your life.

We have some - very - exciting news! We have a BRAND NEW addition to our website! ❤️

Here's a sneak peak:...

A lot of us bring dogs into our lives for companionship and adventure.

At Unleashed, we strive to facilitate a bond between you and your dog that goes beyond basic obedience training and encompasses a sense of both freedom and fun.

Our training paradigm renders clear communication between dog and human, creating a partnership that is about enjoying life to the fullest with confidence and reliability.

Dogs perceive our world differently in many ways and might even have very different goals than us. Sometimes these goals align perfectly with ours and sometimes they don’t. The question to ask is “is this a people problem or a dog problem?"
