Classes or Board & Train?

I get this question all the time and since my answer is always the same, lets dive into it tonight!

I always tell clients that you get out of training what you put in. We can't expect our kids to go to school for 1 hour a week and them to pass any kind of exam so why should we expect our dogs? In classes, I will give you all the tools you need to be successful but ultimately success comes down to you spending time working on homework between classes. Everyone's dog has the potential to be remarkable, it's on the owner to really push them to be the best they can and that can only be accomplished through practice.

"But Cayla, I just don't have the time to dedicate to working on commands between classes and I am afraid we are going to struggle!"

That's why I offer a Board & Train option! I dedicate 14 days to training your pup to the same 7 commands we would learn in classes. Because I am doing the groundwork and ensure your pet's time is spent learning, I GUARANTEE my work for LIFE!

I am 100% dedicated to your success, either route you choose, have faith and be dedicated!

Be sure to chose the right professional for the right job!

After hearing a terrible story about a competitor's odd 5 week board & train problem I would just like to stress my expectations for my work and hope that reflects what you seek in a trainer.

⭐ Training transparency, clear outlines of goals & expectations
⭐ I will never take on more than 2 B&T at one time to ensure your dog's time is well spent with me.
⭐ 24/7 Supervision
⭐ Climate controlled area to rest & sleep in my home after a hard days work. No outdoor kennels.
⭐ 2 week Board & Trains, 7 commands
⭐ Daily updates
⭐ Weigh-in at beginning and end of stay. Monitoring food intake, educating customer about brands and ensuring nutritional needs are met with the amount of work the K9 is performing
⭐ Lifetime support! They slip up or slack in a few years? Let's meet!

I may not be the cheapest option in West Virginia but my goal is that I am the best fit for you & your family!

If your interested in my Board & Train program or just want to chat about issues you are having with your furry friend, let's chat! 3049153647

K9: Yaz
Breed: Blue Heeler / Pitt

Yaz just went home after his Aggression Management Board & Train and I couldn't be more proud of all the hard work he put into the last 2 weeks! He came to me very reactive to other dogs, to the point his parents had to really watch for neighborhood dogs before allowing him outside. Being able to focus all the energy that working breeds have, they learn very fast and it's always such a joy to see them grow and learn over such a short amount of time. I'm so happy I could help him & his family get to the point where he can be controlled in a structured environment so everyone can live with confidence!

Have a dog that is out of control or one that you just want to fine tune some skills with? Let's chat!

Dedicated dog lovers tend to be very kind people. We share our hearts and homes (and for some lucky pups, even the foot of our beds) with our canine pals. Surely there is nothing wrong with sharing our favorite people foods with our dogs too, right? Not necessarily. Many of the foods, such as fruits & vegetables that people digest just fine can wreak havoc on a dog’s body, causing severe health problems. On the other hand, some of the foods people eat can be introduced to a dog’s diet just fine, and even provide health benefits such as joint strength, better breath, and allergy immunity.
But before giving your dog foods that you crave, read on and learn which foods are safe, and which can send your dog straight to the emergency vet.

Almonds: Nope. Almonds may not necessarily be toxic to dogs like macadamia nuts are, but they can block the esophagus or even tear the windpipe if not chewed completely. Salted almonds are especially dangerous because they can increase water retention, which is potentially fatal to dogs prone to heart disease.

Bread: Sorta yes.. Small amounts of plain bread (no spices and definitely no raisins) won’t hurt your dog, but it also won’t provide any health benefits either. It has no nutritional value and can really pack on the carbohydrates and calories, just like in people. Homemade breads are a better option than store-bought, as bread from the grocery store typically contains unnecessary preservatives, but it’s best to avoid it altogether.

Cashews - Yes! Cashews are OK for dogs, but only a few at a time. They’ve got calcium, magnesium, antioxidants, and proteins, but while these nuts contain less fat than others, too many can lead to weight gain and other fat-related conditions. A few cashews make a nice treat, but only if they’re unsalted.

Cheese: Yes, dogs can eat cheese in small to moderate quantities. As long as your dog isn’t lactose intolerant, which is rare, but still possible in canines, cheese can be a great treat. Many kinds of cheese can be high in fat, so go for lower-fat varieties like cottage cheese or mozzarella.

Chocolate: No, dogs should never eat chocolate. This isn’t just an urban legend. Chocolate contains toxic substances called methylxanthines, which are stimulants that stop a dog’s metabolic process. Even just a little bit of chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can cause diarrhea and vomiting. A large amount can cause seizures, irregular heart function, and even death.

Corn: Yes. Corn is one of the most common ingredients in most dog foods. However, the cob can be hard for a dog to digest and may cause an intestinal blockage, so if you’re sharing some corn, make sure it is off the cob.

Eggs: Yes, you can certainly fix eggs for dogs as long as they are fully cooked. Cooked eggs are a wonderful source of protein and can help an upset stomach. However, eating raw egg whites can contribute to biotin deficiency, so be sure to cook the eggs all the way through before giving them to your pet.

Fish: Yes, dogs can eat fish. Fish contains good fats and amino acids, giving your dog a nice health boost. Salmon and sardines are especially beneficial — salmon because it’s loaded with vitamins and protein, and sardines because they have soft, digestible bones for extra calcium. With the exception of sardines, be sure to pick out all the tiny bones, which can be tedious but is definitely necessary. Never feed your dog uncooked or under cooked fish, only fully cooked and cooled, and limit your dog’s fish intake to no more than twice a week.

Ham: Yes, dogs can eat ham. Ham is OK for dogs to eat, but certainly isn’t the healthiest for them. Ham is high in sodium and fat, so while sharing a small piece is all right, it shouldn’t be a continuous habit.

Honey: Yes, dogs can eat honey. Honey is packed with countless nutrients such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, and antioxidants. Feeding dogs small amounts of honey can help with allergies because it introduces small amounts of pollen to their systems, building up immunity to allergens in your area. In addition to consuming honey, the sticky spread can also be used as a topical treatment for burns and superficial cuts.

Ice cream: No, dogs shouldn’t eat ice cream. As refreshing of a treat as ice cream is, it contains lots of sugar so it is best not to share with your dog. Also, some dogs have an intolerance to lactose. To avoid the milk altogether, freeze chunks of strawberries, raspberries, apples, and pineapples to give to your dog as a sweet, icy treat.

Peanut butter: Yes, peanut butter is OK for dogs. Peanut butter can be an excellent source of protein for dogs. It contains heart-healthy fats, vitamins B and E and niacin. Raw, unsalted peanut butter is the healthiest option. Read the label carefully to be sure the peanut butter does not contain xylitol, a sugar substitute that can be toxic to dogs.

Turkey: Yes, dogs can eat turkey. Turkey is fine for dogs, but be sure to remove excess fat and skin from the meat. Don’t forget to check for bones; poultry bones can splinter during digestion, causing blockage or even tears in the intestines. Any meat with excessive salt, seasonings, onions or garlic should not be fed.

Yogurt: Yes, yogurt is OK for dogs. Plain yogurt is a perfectly acceptable snack for dogs. However, some dogs may have trouble digesting dairy products. If your dog can digest it, the active bacteria in yogurt can help strengthen the digestive system with probiotics. Plain yogurt is the best choice. Avoid any yogurts with added sugar, and skip all yogurt with artificial sweeteners.

Keep in mind this is nothing more than a very basic outline. You should always consult your Vet prior to introducing new foods to your pups!

No two dogs learn or respond the same, and each brings their own set of anxieties, fears, and behaviors to the table. A professional trainer must be able to evaluate each animal individually and come up with the best training plan for them. For example, a timid dog may be fearful of loud verbal commands but respond positively to hand signals. While others have developed a stubborn personality and requires a completely different approach. The key is finding a trainer that doesn't just train your dog some commands, but has the experience to identify their weaknesses and develop a successful plan for the best training experience possible.

If you would like to discuss the issues you are having, give me a call any day from 9am to 9pm. 304-915-3647

K9: Remmington
Breed: Standard Poodle

Remmington is such a loving boy and listens so well, but he is very vocal and likes to let every one within 3 miles know where he is! Normally, Remmington would love to bark at people coming near him to say hi but here we have him in an extended sit and he is expected to pay attention to us and ignore the distractions around him.

We've all experienced a dog that fixates on something and will do anything to check it out! Those of you with a mastiff or a dane can probably relate to this video all too well.

K9: Willow

If scent work is something that interests you, give me a call and we can start you and your dog out on the right foot!

K9: Chief
Breed: Great Pyrenees/Border Collie

Board & Train Chief rocked out his 2 weeks like a true professional. Chief came to me with aggression issues and a high prey drive. While any trainer worth their metal will tell you, aggression is NOT something that can be "fixed." It can however be managed properly so that the dog and their family can live safely together!

If you have a dog that has aggression issues with people or other dogs, please, do not give up on them! Call me and let us help you both!
