Some daycare/boarding dog fun today. Such a great group of dogs.
Geddy working off lead!
Here is Geddy working on her off lead obedience skills around lots of distractions (her buddies!!).
Do you wish you could get your pup to listen off lead, no matter what is going on?! Send me a pm to find out more about our off lead board & train program.
Come on everyone! Salt is still looking for her forever home. She is going home tomorrow to the foster. Please share to get the word out.
Salt is fully leash trained as well as E-collar conditioned. She needs to be in a single dog home and if possible no kids, but at least older children that understand dogs have boundaries!
Salt needs a strong leader to prove to her she is not in charge. She is an absolute love but if you give her an inch she will take a mile!! Anyone interested in her can contact All Paws on Deck.
Salt will need a private lesson with myself in order to be able to use the e-collar with her, but to also learn how to properly handle this beautiful girl. She needs rules structure and boundaries, someone who will continue with her crate work while they are gone and at night. Salt also needs an active owner to continue with her training daily and to be able to get her out for hikes/walks.
Please reach out with any questions or if you are interested!
This beautiful girl goes home Friday. She’s been an amazing puppy to work with. I took Quinn to Scottie’s soccer practice last night and she loved all the cuddles she received and worked so well no matter the distractions.
Happy Sunday from a very happy group of pups ❤️🐶
One of the many reasons we are different from your typical kennel:
it’s 6:45PM and the boarding dogs are outside getting some evening zoomies out of their system.
Here at Little River, your dogs truly are treated like our own, so when ours go outside, so do yours!
PM us for more information on our daycare, boarding or training services!

This was Maggie and Harris’s first day off leash together! You can see they got a bit distracted by Remi (doodle) and wanted to go continue playing, but with light collar cues and commands, they came back and ended with a nice sit!
These pups had a blast while here and learned so much!
And here is Harris. Barely any cues needed, and you can notice the licking he is doing at times, showing signs of acknowledgment of what I am asking him to do.
This is the end of week 2 with miss Maggie. I am using the lead in conjunction with the collar. She is responding well to level 1, needing slight leash reminders when she tries to follow me when she is on “ place”.
Maggie has been doing great with her obedience and I cannot wait to show her off to her owner.
Does your dog rush to their bowl or demand to be fed at certain times?
All dogs that come here, young or old, trained or untrained, are all taught to wait patiently for their food. Here are Maggie and Harris, sitting and waiting until released on command to eat their breakfast.
Reach out to find out about our 2 week or 4 week training programs to help with patience and respect and to help strengthen your relationship with your pet.
Board & train dogs having a blast on this snow day.
Here is Harris from his first day of work. I’ve had Harris here a few days before this, so as you can see he is sitting when I stop, with no cues or just very light cues and he is better with walking on the lead then Maggie is.
He still needs some fine tuning but by the end of this week he will be going to place with light cues, along with the basic lead work.
Here is Maggie on her first day of work. I am working on the very basics of just showing her that she needs to start paying attention to the task at hand versus everything else going on around her. The cues of the lead are due to her wanting to go her own way instead of where I am going.
Maggie is showing lots of signs that prove she is tense and wants to do things her way. Her tail and ears are straight up, and jaw Is clenched shut. All signs that she is focused on other things (the dogs) and not wanting to focus on what I am asking of her.
By the end of this week she will be walking politely next to me, sitting when I stop and you will see she will be paying much more attention with her tail and ears lower and jaw relaxed.
Some off lead daycare fun yesterday.
We hold daycare Monday through Friday and work with owners schedules on pick up & drop off times. We have a 40x60 fenced in play yard for the dogs that are not off lead conditioned.
When you need to exhaust everyone, you put a Winston (Ch. Lab) in the mix 🤣
