This made my morning!!!! ππ€£π
Max was obviously thrilled by the arrival of the Snow Bomb Cyclone, and made it very clear from the moment we stepped outside! π§π»βοΈπ£πͺππ #max #lab#terrier #mix #breed #rescue #dog #snow #bomb #cyclone #winter #wonderland #happy #doggo #running #hopping #smiling #energy #release #high #drive #helovesthis #white #powder #mansbestfriend #dogsofinstagram #petsofinstagram #instagram #pet #video
Rooney was excited to see Harley and Max after being home for the holidays... and this was the energy level an hour and change later. I love these darling angels so much!!!! πππππ #rooneygrrl #mini #golden #doodle #harleythesmd #swiss #mountain #dog #max #lab #terrier #mix #breed #rescue #horsing #around #play #time #energetic #happy #sweet #beautiful #awesome #pet #photography #mansbestfriend #dogsofinstagram #petsofinstagram #love #β€οΈ

Harley learning "Speak" and "Quiet" and she was killing it during her first session. Though we can't guarantee reliability, she is well on her way! πππ #harleythesmd #swiss #mountain #dog #female #puppy #obedience #training #session #defining #speak #and #quiet #capture #behavior #reward #repeat #frequency #consistency #patience #focus #cute #adorable #smart #love #her #face #mansbestfriend #dogsofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram
Harley had a great impulse control session. It was her first time with the spinning fetching wheel, and although she thought about breaking from her down/stay position, she made the right decision and showed good restraint! #harleythesmd #swiss #mountain #female #puppy #good #dog #obedience #training #impulse #control #session #smart #girl #milestone #moment #progress #patience #fetching #wheel #beautiful #pup #heart #and #soul #mansbestfriend #puppiesofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #love #her
Harley enjoying some play time (great way to get your dog to potty) πππ
Rooney enjoying some time at the park before heading home. A beautiful day for some fetch and some tug πππ #rooneygrrl #minigoldendoodle #golden #retriever #poodle #mix #breed #female #puppy #8months #old #sweet #strong #love #playing #tug #of #war #teeth #look #good #dogsofinstagram #mansbestfriend #activity #socialization #time #mingleandmove
A true milestone moment today! Up until recently Pippa has refused to jump in and out of the car (she even has to be carried down the staircase in her home). There can be many different reasons for this, but with a little patience and encouragement... look at her go!!!! Congratulations Pippa! πππππ#saltnpippa #jump #anxiety #patience #encouragement #progress #soproud #waytogo #good #girl #brave #dog #mansbestfriend #dogsofinstagram #milestone #moment
Benji can't resist showing off when he finds that special scent! #mrbenjibuns #lovethisguy #ninja #dog #puggle #mix #breed #dogsofinsta

Got to visit this little angel again earlier today. So full of energy she simply could not sit still! I'm totally in love with her already!!! πππ #harleythesmd #swiss #mountain #dog #puppy #love #her #adorable #little #face #so #tiny #and #cute #theyhadtokickmeout #addictedtoher #soft #furry #heart #breaker
Some video of the pooches as we set up for a shoot!
After Rooney chased some birds into the water (leading Benji and Max into the muck), I decided to let them play a little in the river before taking them home and hosing them down! Time to let that wolf instinct out!!! πβ¨πΊ
Benji was such a ninja at the park! Max and Rooney were really happy to have him join the group πβ¨π #mrbenjibuns #rooneygrrl #puppy #dog #puggle #goldendoodle #mix #breed #dogs #best #dogsofig #ninja #run #play #dart #dodge #hide #jump #fetch #water #fun
Took advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday and spent some time at the park. During our last visit for the day we ran into one of our besties... Benji!!!! #rooneygrrl #brandygrrl #mrbenjibuns #dog #park #socialization #play #fun #fetching #wheel #run #pant #rest #repeat
My last appointment of the day, Atlas the tabby cat. He was happy to see me again, and even more happy to get some grub π»ππ #Atlas #tabby #cat #catsofinstagram #home #visit #handsome #boy
Here is a small clip of Rooney working in a busy coffee shop while I waited for my drinks. Eyes on me for the most part (we can't expect our dogs not to watch for possible dangers or to be concerned with the presence of others, but this was good). Following the luring hand well, good heel load. When I give the hand gesture for a down (right after her last sit) you can see that instinct to give me her paw temporarily. Her family has taught her sit then paw so much that she was clearly anticipating the request from me as well. Remember to randomize your prompts to avoid anticipation. We want our companion dogs to be attentive and wait for our instructions when we are in work mode. A perfect example of what happens I f you have them perform the same series of actions too frequently. Great job today, Rooney!!! π€ππ #rooneygrrl #goldendoodle #puppy #golden #retriever #poodle #mix #breed #dog #obedience #training #session #dogsofig #patience #consistency #challenge #overcome
