We know not everyone is in here, but we love absolutely all of our clients!
Spent some time working on our Auto-Sit! Every team we had this weekend successfully escaped getting struck by an imaginary car.
We practice an Auto-Sit for situations where we need to stop on short notice. If our dog is with us, and we stop, we want the dog to stop.
This beautiful baby is ready for the week! He was sooo excited for his first training session and we are so excited to see him again this weekend!!
The start of learning how to balance, focus and conquer fears. Amazing beginning of adding more agility to training!
Something was up with all the dogs this past weekend. Enjoy some amazing fails!
Started teaching our pups how to heel backwards!
It is important to note: When teaching anything new, take it slow, don't get frustrated, and have fun! Heeling backwards has the same command as heeling forward. Heel is a position, so they should stay in a heel regardless of forward, backwards or sideways walking.
We train our dogs while sitting? Why would we do that? Here's why!
1. Dogs are primarily visual, we don't want to have to stand, every time we tell our dog to do something.
2. We take pur dogs out in public. Our dogs know how to act at food establishments.
3. A very great bonding experience, while doing new and different things with our dogs.
4. The extraordinary focus we gain while working our dogs from a chair.
Why do we teach an AutoSit? Here are some main reasons!
1. If you are about to cross the street and you stop, your dog will not continue and risk being hut by a car.
2. Teaches the dog to walk with you, rather than in front of you or behind you.
3. Enhances the amount of focus the dog needs to have on the handler, in order to recognize the handler has stopped.

We had a private yesterday who is working towards her AKC certification test. We have only been working with her team for 2 weeks. The amount of work this team puts in is outstanding. We are so pleased to have the privilege to work with such an amazing team. We cannot wait to see them succeed in their AKC testing.
If anyone else is looking to get into any form of competition with their dog, we are full AKC certified!
This Sunday was full of amazing training! Heeling, about turns, recalls, seated commands and so much more. We love how well our teams can perform both standing and seated!
