New walk...WITH friends! Chip learned all about the working walk at our last session and absolutely nailed it! He was not pulling, was in step with his people and learned to relax and let them lead. He was also able to walk with Shorty and learn that we don't need to blow a gasket when we see other canines. So very proud of this guy! Keep up the great work, Olsen family ππΌ

Another pack walk in the books! Today we decided to 'Paw it Forward' and pack walked for our friends at @Samson's K9 Search & Rescue. A giant thank you to Oliver, Rudy, Gerald, Ziggy, Loki, Rezi and Ace for so graciously giving $175 to other pups who need it. β€οΈ
I am so grateful to be surrounded by these awesome humans who want to help their dogs be their best while doing some good in the process! No matter what the dogs challenges are, these pack walks allow the dogs to have a positive experience around the very triggers they are so uncertain about. It never gets old watching the pups grow β€οΈ
Next month, we will pack walk on February 22nd at 9am so mark your calendars and stay tuned for details!

New Year, new Buddy! This guy has been practicing conversational leash work using a slip lead to clean up his walk. However, his desire to pull was still a little unsafe for Mom and her walker, so we switched him to to a training collar. This was a game changer for them both! They are going home to practice with their new tool soi feel good about them being safe. Nobody is going down on my watch π Keep up the great work, Sandy ππΌ

On Mondays we find calm. The place command is the 'art of doing nothing' when faced with distractions and busy or new environments. It allows our dogs to find calm in their minds and control their impulses. We always start with easy distraction and work our way to harder ones...the doorbell, going out of sight and entering the with our 'Mom and Dad voices' is a real tough ask, but Brandi did amazing! Keep up the great work, Ashlyn and Daniel ππΌ

On Fridays, we learn to walk calmly with friends versus blowing a gasket in full excitement π Shorty and Lucy had a great walk, managed their big feelings about one another and started a great friendship! Lucy also learned all about the place command to round out her calm on command at home as well. This family is doing awesome! Keep up the great work, Campbells ππΌ

Another great day for a pack walk! A very special thanks to Finn, Rezi, Loki, Oliver, Gerald, Kaleb, Tiana and Mossimo for pawing it forward and donating $150 to help the dogs at @desertdogproject who need it. It will never get old watching these dogs and owners show up month after month to help their dogs gain positive experiences around other dogs and people. It's so awesome to see their continued growth. Thank you all for loving your pups enough to guide them!
Stay tuned for next months pack walk details, scheduled for December 14!

Wednesdays are for finding your brave and this girl absolutely crushed it! Raya and Mom worked on overcoming Irrational fears and trusting that Mom would guide her through obstacles that made her nervous at our last session. Confidence exercises are so much fun, create a huge connection and loads of trust between dog and owner. So proud of these girls building a super strong, ride or die relationship! Keep up the great work, Haley ππΌ

Pack walks are BACK! We had a great turnout for our walk this month and everyone braved the heat to pack walk for good...for these pups, but also to paw it forward to othersπ₯°. A giant thank you to Gerald, Loki, Boots, Rezi, Lyla and Oliver for donating $130 to help the pups who need it at @barbsdogrescue .π
Month after month, our training families come together to help their nervous, fearful, aggressive, over excited or reactive dogs be their best self. It warms my heart to be surrounded by such awesome people who truly want to help their dogs to live their best life. Thank you all so very much! β€οΈ

Your feel good Friday, brought to you by Winston. π₯° You might recall this little guy came from a hoard and was so terrified of life that he spent most of his days under his Mom's bed. Fast forward to lots of hard work, patience, and guiding him through uncomfortable moments and you have this. Little man playing chase with another dog (when previously he was too nervous to even engage or make eye contact with another canine). This is what rehab and giving your dog his best life looks like! So grateful to watch this little one thrive! Keep up the great work, Olivia! Thanks for doing hard things for the greatest good ππΌ

Mondays are for bravery! π₯° You may recall, one of Moonshine's challenges was that he was nervous around his Dad and would often leave rooms that Dad was in.
Fast forward to lots of patience and grace and we have this! π₯Ί Moonshine and Paul have worked super hard with one another and this session was no different. They worked on confidence building exercises together, that will increase Mooney's trust in his Dad, increase his confidence in himself and the boys can have fun and bond in the process. Some dogs struggle with these obstacles on leash, but not this guy! Keep up the awesome work, Porter family ππΌ

Housemates Diesel (super dog reactive) and Moonshine (would redirect on Diesel to calm his chaotic response), learned how to walk with canine friends at our last session workout coming unglued. This is a HUGE win for these guys since this means they can be walked safely. Side note, their Mom is the cutest...she's so used to Diesel (GSD) losing it by chomping on the leash, lunging ETC that she felt like he may not have seen a neighbor dog that has just walked by us, because he behaved! An owner being surprised at their pups new behavior, truly will never get old. I am so proud of this crew! Keep up the good work, Porter family ππΌ
