Featured Dog: Piper Favorite Activity: Flirt pole, fetch, nose work, literally anything! Favorite Snack: Bully sticks, sardines, elk and moose antlers Favorite Toy: Anything she can bite This week we are acknowledging Piper as our featured dog of the week. Her family has worked day in and day out to get her on a great path to success. They have done an amazing job and continue to do so as Piper grows into adulthood! "Piper started at MDTC as a little pup. She’s our 2nd working dog and I learned so much with our last guy, Oliver, that I knew we needed a solid foundation of training and appropriate socialization. Like many others, we tried a different training location first and it wasn’t the best fit for us. I found MDTC online and saw Teri and Cassie’s malinois pups and knew it would be great but no idea how much we’d end up loving it." With skills, knowledge, similar experiences, and love, Piper has a great foundation and leadership from her family! Great job guys, continue doing great things! You are definitely apart of our MDTC family! 💜

Featured Dog: Ranger Favorite Activity: Playing with Ally, Walks, and to greet everyone! Favorite Snack: Himalayan chews, stuffed kongs Favorite Toy: Anything squeaky, soft puppy buddy Ranger is MDTC featured dog of the week and very well deserved. His family has worked so hard to accomplish all there goals and more while being at MDTC. "Ranger started MDTC with puppy training and now remains in day school. Ranger started as we knew we needed help to better support him and understand how best to do that. We had tried a few different training and school options and then we stumbled upon MDTC website, and could really relate to what we read. After meeting Teri and the team, we knew we found the right spot". From pupping training, basic obedience, whistle recalls, and e collar school, ranger and his family can finally communicate and create leadership in his life. They are happier than ever! Our team is super grateful for you guys for providing Ranger with the best life and training he needed. "The basic ongoing obedience, tools, exposure to activities and structure helped us immensely. Ranger is much more comfortable in who he is, and we feel much more comfortable in our ability to be the best for him! We feel so fortunate to have found MDTC. Ranger loves his MDTC family". We love and are thankful to be in your journey!! Congratulations guys, it's well deserved!

Welcome the new kids on the block, Henri, Hazel, Khalo Penelope and Jerry. So excited to be working with these guys and opening up a new chapter in their lives.

Featured Dog of the Week: Lilly💜 Favorite Activity: Scent work Favorite Food: All food MDTC wants to recognize Lilly as our featured dog of the week. We are so proud of Lilly and her family, they've come along way and have done all the right things with her training! "Lilly was a challenging puppy, very energetic, and so I needed to walk her to be able to live with her. But the walks were very unpleasant because she was pulling on the leash so much. I tried obedience classes and sought help for the pulling". With proper tools, leadership, clarity, consistency and treats of course, Lilly and her family are happier than ever. "MDTC worked with Lilly to refine her obedience, recall and life skills. We’re both much happier as a result of Lilly’s schooling at MDTC"! Lilly has even earned her AKC tracking title! Lilly is such a great dog, and has excelled in many ways, good job guys!!

Alfie started his journey at MDTC with private lessons, e collar training and remains in our day school program. "Alfie was going to doggy day care and started getting very aggressive. We found MDTC to help us. He started with private training where we were introduced to place training and an e collar. Alfie has done amazing and now goes to school once a week to continue learning and really enjoyed his scent training course". With time, commitment and balanced training, his family is more confident than ever. Great job guys, we are proud of all your accomplishments with Alfie! 👍👍💪🏼

We are super proud of him and his family for all the training they have put into him and how much he has learned since being in our day school program. He has grown so much since the first day of school, and will only progress as he will be attending our e collar program in March. "He spends his day at school learning and reinforcing basic skills, good manners and doing activities that challenge his GSD brain. MDTC also provides structure, daily routine, and experiences and activities that we can not provide at home. They are very creative and keep things fresh". Quincy is an awesome pup who is ready for anything! He loves to train, go on pack walks and on field trips, he's just a happy boy who gets tons of compliments. We are proud of you guys and excited to see how he does in e collar school! MDTC is happy to be apart of your journey!

Featured Dog: Freddy Favorite Snack: Wild Weenies Favorite Toy: Stuffed Hedgehog and Bear Favorite Activity: Napping, Fetch, and Snuggles Favorite Clothing: Light Gray Sweater MDTC would like to take the time and dedicate Freddy as our featured dog of the week. Freddy came to MDTC as a young pup in need of basic obedience, socialization, leadership and to be taught how to be a good citizen! Through his journey here, him and and his family have achieved just that! He continues to remain in our day school program for maintenance and enrichment and has attended and completed circus dog class as well. We are proud of you guys for making his growth and training possible. Great job and we are super honored to be apart of his growth into adulthood!

Featured Dog: Dodge Favorite Activities: Boating with his buddy Jay, Burying himself under blankets, Napping. Favorite Toy: Squeaky Toys. Favorite Snack: Dingo Goof Balls. This week MDTC wants to recognize Dodge as our featured Dog of the week. We are incredibly proud of him and his family for doing all the things necessary to get Dodge where he is today. "We came to Maine Dog Training Company because we had tried other training sessions and nothing seemed to work with Dodge. He would still get really elevated around other dogs and it seemed to be getting worse". With patience, time, commitment, and training, Dodge has more then excelled in our Day school program! "Since coming to MDTC Dodge has been able to be around other dogs with much more manageable behavior. We are appreciative that in addition to Dodge's behavior around other dogs, he has learned other skills (Stay, down, wait, being patient in a crate) at MDTC". We appreciate the work you guys have put into his training. Great job guys!

Featured Dog of the Week: Kelsoooo🐕 Favorite Toy: A shoe he can find (doesn't attempt to eat it) Favorite Snack: ALL food! Favorite Activity: Eating and running in the woods with his brother! Our team at MDTC is super proud of Kelso and his family for doing all the things it takes to get Kelso where he is now. "We took him to MDTC because he was becoming leash-reactive and we were at the point where we had to turn and go in a different direction every time another dog was coming down the road". With time, patience, teamwork and extra love/pets Kelso has excelled in many ways. "Today he is much better, he tends to look at me as soon as he sees another dog coming. He does get worried, but he can stay in the heel position (with treats and praise at this point)! Kelso is a big, goofy, fun, loving and smart dog and his manners are so much better since attending classes at your facility". Kelso has definitely deserved featured dog of the week! Good job buddy! 💜

Play is such an essential part of having a dog. Learning how to play with your dog is important for many reasons. With play you get better engagement, stronger bond/leadership, fulfillment of natural desires and more. Make play apart of your routine, your dogs will appreciate it😊

Week 3 of our Foundation Obedience class and everyone is looking great! We will be announcing the next class soon! Stay tuned!

Featured Dog: Tyke💜 Favorite Toy: part of a log that he carries around. Favorite Snack: Himalayan Yak chews. Favorite Activity Together: We love walking on the beaches with a long lead. We want to take this time and show some recognition to Tyke and his dad as our featured pet. Their journey here at MDTC has help them in ways they could have never thought possible. Tyke's dad came to our facility pretty much being his last option before giving Tyke back to his breeder. "I started him off with an instructor that I had used before. After three weeks she told me not to bring him back, but I was welcome to continue along. “He distracted the other dogs too much.” I tried another one. Slight results but not much better – just too reactive. He is an intelligent dog, just wants to do what he wants when he wants. I was extremely stressed by now, wondering if I should return him to the breeder. A friend told me about Teri and that she was often successful when others had failed". With all of this, it was our duty at MDTC to give these two a second chance. 5 months later, Tyke remains at day school twice a week. With skills, time, patience and a strong will to help these two, we were able to create leadership, and a bond that will never be broken. Thanks to Tyke's dad for putting trust in us, and being patient with Tyke, they are now in a better place. "I would not have him if it wasn’t for Maine Dog Training Company. Tyke is well on his way to being well trained. I am the one that needs more training. Day school is great! He continues to have reinforcement, is socialized with other dogs, has active exercise time, and it gives me some uninterrupted time for myself. I am so glad I did not have to give up on him. I would have missed out on having the most wonderful, well trained companion – once he gets through adolescence"! We are proud of the both of you guys and excited to continue to be apart our your journey! Cheers to Tyke and his dad!
