With renovations it always gets worse before it gets better! We are putting in a new floor in the puppy/small dog area, to make it easier to clean and more comfortable for the pups to walk and sleep on!

Please excuse our dust and noise as we are making upgrades to our puppy and small dog area. All this week, all dogs should enter and leave through the side door! Thank you!

🦮👩🏼‍🎓🧑🏼‍🎓HAPPY GRADUATION 👩🏼‍🎓🧑🏼‍🎓🦮

On Saturday Sylvie, Appa, and Ziva all graduated from Jordan and Tanya’s special “Walk It Like It’s Hot!” class! Newton also graduated, but unfortunately mom was out of town so he was at graduation day “in spirit”. The next step for these 4 is Level 2, and taking these skills outside, which we’ll be doing come spring/summer!
In the meantime, to keep their skills refined around all sorts of other dogs, they’re even going to continue taking Level 1 through fall/winter. 😍 we love the commitment!

If you’re ready to level up your dogs skills on leash, and general public manners, the ladies are now enrolling for their next Level 1 class, which starts Saturday November 9th @ 10:15am! 😁 There’s only a few spots left!!

🥳🥳🥳 HAPPY BARKDAY 🥳🥳🥳

This month we’ve had two very special birthdays to celebrate!! Both Roo, and Rudy turned the grand 2 YEARS OLD! 😍
Roo, also known as Roobert, Rooby, and many other cutesy names by our staff has been coming to school since she was a baby and she sure has blossomed 🌸 into a confident young lady! Roo often spends time with puppies because she is wonderful with the under confident little that need a little “boost”. We love her dearly and enjoy every day we get to spend with her. ❤️
Rudy, also known as “Rudy with the booty” because this boy has the wiggliest of butts, started with HOD in puppy class, then transitioned over to boarding, and daytime social. He is a HOOT and a HOLLER! Rudy keeps the kennel techs entertained during playgroups, and our trainers looks forward to taking him for walkies because the zoomies this boy gets are incredible! 🦮

This tip is coming from a fellow positive reinforcement training center, from one of our trainers hometowns! ❤️

🐕 TRAINING TIP TUESDAY 🐕

Let's talk about leash position! We see this one A LOT. We need to be aware of where and how we are holding our leashes. We want a nice loose leash with a U between you and your dog with the leash at your belly button or down to your side. We don't hang our dog from the sky, we don't reach 4 feet in front of us to our dog who is on a tight leash, and we don't raise the leash to the sky when we are trying to reward or cue our little dogs.

A tight leash to "control" a dog's movement often backfires because of opposition reflex, the dog will naturally pull against the force of the tight leash.

These little puppers are so sweet and were ready for their close ups 📸
Don’t worry about those blank spaces! We’ll be able to fill those in as they grow up and hopefully update their little “bios” on their birthdays! 🌸

We can’t wait to watch these babies grow up!
