Morning stretches for Jillian and meditation for the doggos! Maisy and Bennie are learning how to be chill and work around one another. While one is tethered the other munchkin practices some reps and duration place. It might not look like a lot…but believe me for these three (tater included)…this is MAGIC!

Tater is super impulsive and always wants to be part of the action so getting him to learn to be chill while he’s not the center of attention is a big step in his training journey.

We got some SERIOUS steps in today!!
All the campers and some resident pack members hit the trials to enjoy the beautiful weather.

Rosco and GiGi were put to the test today when we saw dogs, golf carts and kids on scooters. These are all things that would have been a nightmare before training. Now that they have learned a new way to respond to these really “exciting” things the walk was a breeze!!

Tater (tot) had a great time watching the squirrels and chickens…and didn’t even take Jillian for a ride. Yes we have before and after video as proof!! When tater was dropped off he was WILD. As we’re into week two we are finally starting to see those gears spinning and things click. It’s not there yet, but we are seeing HUGE progress!

Snitch and squirty love going for walks and while they don’t always get to join the campers…today they did…and were equally unamused with the silly noises trying to get those ears up and looking at the camera 🤣

Rosco met a “new” doggo today!
Rosco can be pretty reactive around other dogs, or at least he used to be!! It would make walks super stressful and even gave his mom a little PTSD. After working with other trainers who couldn’t help…they found GCK9.

Today we practiced walking past a dog wearing jammies…aka, Jorge!! Jorge is part of our pack and is great at playing “new” dog distractions. Rosco made great choices and even put himself in a down for the picture. And Jorge always takes every opportunity to put his jammies on for a walk.

With the unregulated dog training industry…anyone can call themselves a trainer, they can have super “reasonable” prices but it doesn’t mean that they can help your dog! Rosco is finally starting to make the connections for true learning to take place and good habits to form…and we are SO proud of him AND his parents 💚

Self care….
Drinks lots of coffee so you’re less murdery…
Drink water to prevent dehydration…
Stretch, because dogs take it out of you!
Dogs ALWAYS come first in our world. Sometimes we just need to figure out how to take care of ourselves too! So…Rosco is learning how to chill while Jillian works on touching her toes and her dogs bark all around both of them…because mom sitting on the floor is fun!

NEW CAMPER Alert‼️
Check out our training buddies this week.
ROSCO is back in action showing the new kids the ropes. He’s come such a long way and we are super excited to be half way through and really start to test his skills.

GIGI the little BC/Shepherd mix is super expressive when it comes to her ears and silly noises…but she also hates golf carts and dogs that yell at her from across the street. We will be tuning up her manners and adding to the foundation her owners already put in place.

TATER (tot) the American bulldog is all kinds of wild, frat boy, body slamming, pulling, bouncing woo boy energy! He is so fun but we have to work on helping him tame his wild side. This guy has had quite the uprooting after his foster mom was displaced thanks to the hurricanes. We’re here to help him gain some manners so his foster mom can give him a great life until he finds his forever 💚

Checking out the new sights to start the week off right!
Rosco struggled before with walks and distractions. Each week we are slowly progressing, re-teaching some tools and communication and building engagement under stress. In situations like this it just takes time to unravel the bad habits and slowly start to create better habits and choices…especially under stress.

Training is a process and we always try to do what is fair for the dog…while making sure to create lasting behaviors 💚

Hitting the trail today watching the hula dancing squirrels 🐿️ and taking a nice stroll.

Rosco has been having a lot of fun and learning things…we know his owners are going to be super happy with his new skills. Stress free walks are always something we strive for! Training is a lifestyle but one of balance. It can’t all be work or only freedom and fun. We need both to create a happy life for our dogs 🐾

Rocky says happy GRADUATION DAY 🤩
When all of the training comes together…we’ve had really great progress in the last three weeks, learning manners, leash walking, come when called and just general life skills. Rocky’s owners been included in the process every step of the way because it’s all about the team and not just about teaching the dog 💚🐾🐾

It’s not always about training, sometimes we romp and roll in the grass too! Training is a balance of work, play and rest. Rosco enjoyed his afternoon rolling in the grass between training sessions. We all need some down time so that we can do quality work!

Roscoe and Rocky getting in all of their training reps!!

ROSCO has started his first week with us. After being through some other training programs that only minimally worked his owners found us. So we’re here to help his manners match his glowing personality!!!

ROCKY is in his last week of training so we’re hitting the town and putting all of his training to the TEST!! Dogs, birds, squirrels are big fun for him. So we are going to practice proofing Rocky’s manners around all of the fun things!

Just like that, week 2 has come to an end and these two impressed their families with their manners. The progress from week one to the end of week two is REMARKABLE!! Training is all about teamwork between us, the owner and the dog. Yes we can train dogs…but we REALLY know how to teach their owners.

Let’s face it…the dog is only as good as the education we can supply for the owner. Being a high school math teacher for 10 years (in a former life), with a masters degree in education, making the information relatable to the human holding the leash is our specialty 💚🐾
