Zoey
For those who know Miss Zoey, visitors entering the house is a huge ordeal. Which MUST be met with lots and lots of barking. Who doesn’t want a big welcoming?
The problem is that once she goes, it’s hard to stop and usually it’s very, very loud. Tonight, instead of alerting the entire household that Tyler has arrived, she was able to welcome him in with a much better mindset.
We also are very proud of her for not joining in Mr Pickes (the cute little white floof) when he huffed a few times. That’s also been one of her weaknesses, which is contributing in on another dogs alert system.
Daycare
Halfway through the work week, everyone got to run with friends, and we even got a chance to have extended playtime outside with no rain! It’s the little things that make the day a great day. 💖
Sunday
Sunday means it’s deep cleaning day, which means the vacuum is running strong. 🧹So of course that means there’s a monster inside the house, we’ll be hanging outside until the coast is clear. 😂
Noodle
Who else needs a Noodle in their life?
She does the most adorable head shakes when getting herself ready to focus.💞
Noodles is learning to use her noodle! Another amazing puppy in training.
Wilson ❤️
It’s our puppy in training, Wilson! It’s his first visit to our place, and he hits it off immediately with fellow bostons Maggie and Bruce. Working on potty training is a breeze when you have friends who will pee outside with you. 😂
Happy Howl-o-Ween from us at Sage Canines! It was Supay and Winnie’s first Halloween with us, and they took in all the mayhem of trick-or-treating with ease.
Supay was all about exploring the new smells and didn’t even bat an eye at any of the spooky (and cute!) costumes. Even big girl Winnie minded her manners when people complimented her cute Pizza Face. ❤️
Cooper the Doodle
When you’re happily disappointed by your helper dogs while working on a lesson for dog reactivity 😂
Terrier siblings being typical terries, will alert bark at strangers. We were hoping to use their stranger danger alert system to help Team Cooper with redirecting his over excited behavior.
But lo and behold, Bucky and Lizzy were perfect! They appropriately ran to the fenceline and just watched excitedly at what we were up to. Fun times all around for these guys!
Wilson Recall
Puppy recall has got to be the funniest, most cutest training ever ❤️ You can’t change my mind! 🤣
Who doesn’t love the floppy uncoordinated, but giving it their all running style of a puppy?
When we first met Wilson, he was just a sleepy 8-week old puppy. And now, he’s alert and ready to party!
It’s never too early to start building a strong foundation, and most importantly, have fun while doing so.
It’s our friend Arlo, who has officially started his board and train program with us. ❤️
One of the goals we’ll be working on is helping him feel comfortable around other dogs. So far we’ve been able to successfully introduce some new friends during Arlo’s first few days with us. Instead of panicking and stressing at the proximity of new dogs, we’ve been moving at his pace and created his own little play group to run outside with. 🐾
Sometimes little Remi likes to be assured that things will be okay, and we’re never ones to ignore a pup who needs extra comfort. ❤️
Happy Friday, friends! Let the weekend shenanigans commence. 🐾
Arlo the golden retriever had a busy day of meeting a few dogs behind a barrier and on leash. By using a barrier, we’re able to help Arlo slow his pace at investigating new dogs, and guide him in making better choices around them. Such as not putting himself in a spot where he lingers too long and causes himself to suddenly feel crowded in by them. By taking things slow, it also helps us communicate to his owners what to look for when Arlo is ready for the next step. Which is guided leash walks with dogs! 🐾 Arlo has had some unfortunate incidents around other dogs that aren’t his close friends, which have caused his owners to lose trust in how he’ll interact with them. So it’s a huge step forward for Arlo to be able to start forming trust in us to keep him safe and not find himself in a questionable situation. And a big thanks to our helpers Max and Winnie, for giving him a positive experience that prevented him from feeling overwhelmed and defensive.
