Our foster, Cashew, playing before friends arrived for a group training session. I love watching him play. He's the cutest and guess what!?!?!?
ADOPTION PENDING!!!! 🥰 His potential new family needs a bit of time to prepare for him and then we'll do a trial run. Please send all the prayers, good thoughts, positive vibes and high hopes that this is a match made in heaven. Cashie deserves this.
Board and train, Bailey, getting her workout in. While she's here, her family wanted me to treadmill train her so they can give this girl a little more exercise at home. She's doing SO well!
Lots of upgrades are taking place in our group class space. No more gravel floor! Stall mats for the win!
Thank you for the help to my amazing husband and our absolutely priceless friends!
More upgrades are in store. Stay tuned!
Day trainer, Willow, working on her loose leash walking and her treadmill training.
A lot of people ask me, "What is loose leash waking?" Loose leash walking in my program means that the dog walks on a specific side of your body, next to you, not in front of you. The dog moves with you and stops when you stop. We teach a command with this that communicates to the dog what we expect of him/her, like "heel" or "with me."
The more black and white you make this skill, the easier it is for the dog to understand the expectations.
Day trainer, Maddy, getting a brush up on her sit and down stays.
It's important to remember to keep a good balance of multiple different skills that you work on with your dog. It's easy to get caught up in focusing on just one or two skills, but when we do that for too long, other skills can start to backslide. A great way to help you keep track of what you're working on is to take some quick notes after each session with your dog.
✅️ What did you work on?
✅️ What went well?
✅️ What needs more work?
Happy Friday!!
Our sweet foster, Cashew, is STILL available! 🤯
I wanted to show him just living. No training, just being a dog. The other dog in the video is a 4 year old, intact male Boxer. These two boys had never met before this outing. There was no training done prior to this video clip other than a walk around the park together. 💙
Please keep sharing this guy so we can find him his forever family.
Thank you!
I included some clips of what other dog professionals have to say about Cashew, so definitely check those out.
Cashew is a 1 year old, neutered male. Utd on vaccines. Microchipped. Crate trained. House trained. He loves people. Not cat safe. Good with most other dogs, but needs slow and controlled introductions. He has quite a bit of obedience training already, but a requirement of his adoption is to continue training with me or another professional trainer. I do not charge for the training with my fosters once they go to their forever homes. Lifetime support at no cost to you.

Day trainers, Willow and Barry getting in some really thorough play time. 😆
Ammo, working on his place stay with company over. It's busy here this weekend with family visiting, and this guy is doing pretty well!
Board and train, Ammo. This cute guy is here for our two week Jump Start Fido board and train program. He's doing great, and he's so fun to work with!
This shows him at his 1 week mark.
Well, we were supposed to have a pack walk today, but the weather is not cooperating. Instead, we'll find some indoor spaces for a training outing for foster dog, Cashew, and board and train, Ammo, but for now, everyone is pretty happy curled up inside.
p.s.
As soon as Cashew is neutered and all healed up, he'll be available for adoption!!
Video features Cashew, happily chewing on a bone and Doss and Nyla taking a morning nap.
Play time!!!
