Mindset Matters

Whether you are training or socializing your dog, their mindset is so crucial. If your dog is fearful or stressed you are not teaching them to be confident and how to handle situations, instead you are teaching them to be more stressed and insecure.

Training and socialization need to be at the pace of the dog or puppy, and owners need to understand how to read cues and body language to ensure they are in the right mindset to be successful.

If you need help training and understand your dog, our program is just for you!

Decisions, not Dominance

There is a widespread misconception that there are only two ways to train a dog – either all-positive “treat training” or dominance-based “punishment” training. This is a view that is held by many professionals in the pet industry, including some dog trainers. However, this black-and-white view of dog training could not be more inaccurate. I’d like to explain a bit about these two ways of training a dog and, along the way, familiarize you with our preferred training protocol: decision-based dog training, or “Decisions Not Dominance”.

There is a common misconception that dogs need to be perfect. Perfection doesn’t exist in dogs or humans. We can’t hold them to an unachievable standard.

Dogs have flaws just like the rest of us, it’s our job as owners and trainers to bring out the best in them.

A dog can be perfectly imperfect and still be a good dog and friend. 🤍

Off Leash Etiquette

Having a dog off leash is a luxury not every dog owner can enjoy. Before taking your dog off leash in public make sure they have a solid recall and good manners around people and dogs.

If you don’t think you dog can handle being off leash, leave that leash on! 😊

Tree Safety for Pets 🎄🐾❤️

Keep your pet safe this holiday season!

12/18/2024

Every dog could benefit from training. Yours may have minor issues like pulling on the leash or failing to consistently respond to commands, or your dog may have major issues like biting or excessive (and disruptive) barking.

All of our certified dog trainers are fellow dog-lovers and certified professionals who adhere to a positive, committed training philosophy. Our trainers received certification through Canine Trade Group, a company that provides intensive classes for those individuals who desire to become canine behavior specialists.

The course involves 320 hours of combined book work and hands-on experience. By the time students graduate, they are near-experts in canine psychology, history, and training methods.

12/16/2024

Our cribs and canines program will educate your dog on proper behaviors and how to adopt these behaviors as part of daily life, both before and after the baby arrives!

We will show your dog how walking calmly with a stroller is a happy, relaxed experience. Your dog will understand how to be well-mannered and to NOT jump on pregnant mom or to sn**ch away the baby’s toy.

Through our expectant parent training, your dog will learn to acclimate themselves to the idea of a baby in the home, before your baby is even there yet!

Most importantly, we will teach your dog to be a happy, obedient dog with the entire family, and will show you how to maintain a consistent environment where you, your baby, and your dog can coexist happily!

Happy Friday! Which breed group do you prefer?

Meet Phi! 🧡 He was 9 months old when he started the program with our trainer, Mark. Phi was definitely a rambunctious puppy with a few behavior problems. His love of chasing bikes, poor leash manners, and jumping were just a handful of issues that his owners needed our help with. The goal was to eventually have him off leash trained as his owners love to hike, and spend time outdoors! Now Phi is a little over a year old with reliable off leash heel and recall, it just shows how hard work and consistency can pay off! 🐾🌲💚
