Take Flight Dog Training

Bear is a stellar student! We love having him at daycare! He is so smart, willing and social with others!

Jolly is enrolled in our Perfect Dog Program. She is a big strong girl and has been here for a few weeks for training. She handled Tractor Supply like a pro. Lovely heeling. We came outside, and the bags of soil behind her were a bit scary! So we encouraged her to get close enough to them, instead of getting on them.

Spotlight Saturday goes to Chandra with Greta and Thor!

These two working line Shepherds are a handful. They are intelligent pups, and their owners are working on fine tuning what they know. Their mom is dedicated to their success and has been putting lots of hard work in and trying to change her own habits because that is often the hardest part.

The progress made so far, is exciting to be a part of! Great job guys!

Want to be a true friend to your dog? Be a pro at reading their body language, and knowing who THEY are. Don’t take your dog to the dog park if it gets tense around other dogs or has gotten in scraps with others, socially. Don’t allow your guests to pet your dog, if your dog is showing signs of stress. Don’t have a “It should be fine” attitude.

We are the only advocates our dogs have. Don’t create more problems by putting them in situations that we know they can’t handle.

Since the weather today is up in the air, and questionable, we will go ahead and plan to cancel class tonight in town and resume on the 17th.

Stay dry everyone!

April Drop In classes are official! Drop in Classes are a one time fee. You pay when you show up! No fancy sign up. When you attend, you sign a form, pay, show a picture of your dog’s vaccines, and then play!

Let’s be honest, obedience can get boring and redundant to our pups. If the weather is nice enough for class, we want to see you there with your pup!

Brain Gains is centered around doing low impact exercises and using different muscles in your dog’s body, and getting them to think outside the box!
The fun part, is each class is a little different with new material and exercises!

Fred, you are the cutest boy and an even cuter bunny! 🐰

This boy and his family completed our Board and Train program and just done his first follow up after being back home!

To watch him be so distrusting of us in the beginning, to bonding with us during his stay, and mastering the problem areas with his owners while he went through our program, has been a truly beautiful thing to witness.

Gosh I’m just so proud of these three!

This is a tough one, but also necessary. If your dog has an issue, they can’t be in situations where they continue practicing the behavior. Doing so, will cause this behavior to become more normal. Set them up for success, even if you have to make little modifications to their environment.

This applies to so many things.

We wanted to share this for our post! Be cautious what plants that you have around your pets. The more you know, the more you can avoid issues or incidents that could have been avoided.

Roman says “if you board here at Take Flight, we might get to be friends!”

We have some boarding openings! Maybe your pup would make friends with this sweet boy ❤️

We do offer a structured board, so that dogs who aren’t interested in expanding their friend group have a spot too ❤️🐾

Eddie is the man! Such a genuinely good boy and SO fun! He comes in for structured daycare days and we love having him!

Give us a new list! We want to hear from you! What is the next breed(s) you want to see featured in our “From A Trainer’s Eye” Sunday Spotlight posts?

If Ozzy and Cadie were out on a date, based on their expression, what would they be talking about? 😂

Fun answers only 😅

Maggie is here to improve her relationship with her housemate, increase her socialization and develop some new skills!

Maggie’s parents adopted her and Gracie together, and they want to set the girls up for success!

Lydia and Charlie have been working hard during individual lessons with their owner Amy and Instructor Chloe. Amy has big goals with her pups and wants to travel with them and go on fun outings that might require a little more self control and emotional regulation.

Chloe is helping them with a behavior plan to set them up for success and get them started on the next chapter (the fun part) of their lives.

When did you realize you were a dog person? Did you just grow up with dogs? Do you have your first dog now, as an adult?

This is how we feel when the air is crisp and fresh, the sun is bright, and the birds are chirping.

It’s apparently how Apollo feels too!

Who is the life of the party in the play group?

Well… here she is. If your pup does daycare here, or participated in our more active group, it’s highly likely that they have met Henson before 😂
