Changing lives… one dog and one family at a time!
(21)
Leo was adopted from our local shelter, and was previously known as “Mountain Dew.” He has blossomed into such an incredible family dog. His most recent accomplishment was graduating our Boarding and Training Program with his incredible family! Way to go big guy!
Also, his family would love to talk to and connect with the owners of his siblings. If you think you have a Leo littermate that you adopted from the shelter, shoot us a message!
We had a very tiny visitor that did a Meet and Greet with us and enrolled in our Puppy Program. Such a cutie and was so confident!
Beth and Elsa are Boarding with Training graduates! The next couple of weeks will be full of new adjustments as the expectations are applied at home too ❤️
This handsome boy is doing our 2 week Puppy Program to get his owners started on the foundation that will impact him for the rest of his life! He is so smart and picks up new topics very quickly!
🚨We have two openings this month for our boarding and training programs! Give us a call and ask us about the discounts we offer for these programs and to find out the details! 🚨
Take Flight's in-house board and train program focuses on obedience skills that make your dog enjoyable to live with. Just as people need training to learn better habits, so do our dogs.
You will learn how to work as a team with your dog since we have owners begin doing scheduled lessons with us during the process of the program before you take your dog home.
While your dog is here, you will receive multiple personalized updates a week with pictures and videos and your dogs will have a blast learning all their new skills and visiting new places to put them to the test!

Abbie just graduated our boarding and training program! It was crucial to get a grip on her pulling, and getting tangled up in her leash, and not having her listening ears on.
Her owner came out a few times to work with her during our program and build a better relationship with her! They are home now, sorting out the transitioning phase!
Want to make your dog a Canine Good Citizen?!? Let’s get to it!

There are always similarities in one breed, but so many different “types.”
Here are two Malinois. Chopper is on the right. Mali is on the left closer to the camera
If Chopper were a car, he would be a Bugatti. Except he is missing 2nd gear, doesn’t have breaks, and steering him at high speeds is sketchy and questionable at best.
If Mali were a car, she would be a Dodge Charger. Her engine doesn’t always run smooth, but she is consistent. Her breaks are faulty once in a while, but they work most of the time. She doesn’t seem to be missing any gears. Thankfully.
😂
🎉We are all so proud of Roscoe! He just left our boarding and training program. He has two really cool parents that are diligently keeping him on track! 🎉

Dyno boy practically owns the place here 😂
He comes in for regular boarding on occasion and we love to see him!
This handsome boy is a BIG lab puppy! He is here to get a better grip on the foundation we have done through private lessons with his parents! He learns quickly and has such a bright future!
What breed(s) of dog(s) are you partial to?
I find that a lot of people have a “type” of dog that they like, and then others have a breed that they are set on.
Sweet Winnie does daycare here. She is loved not only by us, but she has quite a few friends ❤️
Go Elsa Go! So proud of this girl and her family!

Charlie is a good ole fashion, 7 year old rescue dog. Words used to previously describe him, would be “reactive,” “aggressive,” and “protective” towards people and dogs. Charlie has been enrolled in our training program and is miles away from where he first began. Once we started peeling back some of those layers, we have found the real him, and he has such a great future ahead of him! Let us know if we can help with our boarding and training programs where we work with both you and your dogs. 480.239.2818. Based out of Cookeville.
So we are free shaping a retrieve with Dually since she is a service dog in training. She just got out of the pool and was all excited so wanted to ask her to do it then! Free shaping means we are rewarding increments to achieve a final behavior, without the use of lures or force. This has taken Dually quite a long time to understand. But now we are on the home stretch. She has progressed to throwing it at us, and I caught it LOL! She threw it once and it hit the house LOL!
Please view the attached video. We are not an animal shelter. This is our home. We are a private residence. All dogs on the property must be current on vaccinations and been properly dewormed. This is not an example of a Good Samaritan. If they thought this was our dog, they could knock on the door. This dog would have been a snack and seriously injured in the morning if we opened the door with one of ours. The fence in front of our front door leads to the play yard and is strictly to keep other animals out, and our dogs in if the door was to open. We just happened to be awake and letting pups in and out at 2:00 am and was luckily CARRYING the dog we were letting out. If you are missing a Boston Terrier in our area, please contact me. It is injured and potentially was hit by a car. He is limping and not feeling the best. These fine ladies decided to pitch him in our fence. This is not okay.
The cicadas out here are wild! I wondered what the humming noise was! Featuring boarding and training friend, Lacey, in a sit stay.
We are staying as dry as we can here, but the river down the road is raging after only one day of rain. Here is Mr Chopper, the weather dog, giving you the news.
We took Cameron to work with his owner at a busy park in Nashville. It was a beautiful day, and they both handled the outing SOOO well together. This is a dog that had a serious pulling problem. Look at him now! So relaxed. ❤️. I was so proud of how chill and “cool” he was on his big outing. https://takeflightdogtraining.propetware.com/newAccount 📲 480.239.2818
Cameron used to be a huge puller and a very anxious dog! We met with his mom to do a lesson in a busy Nashville park while he stays with us. He was so chill and just went with the flow. Good job to Cameron and his favorite human!
“I did my research, but I didnt really understand.” I love that you did make an effort to research, but reading on Google and talking to your neighbor isn’t research. I try to encourage everyone to be more hands on before choosing a breed or “type.” Go to a breed club, reach out to a qualified trainer for their opinion, go to as many people that own the breed you want and ask someone, ANYONE if you can just observe their dog and see what they are like, in training mode and out of training mode. You will make connections, possibly even a support system, and most of all, you will learn something from each owner of the breed you are interested in. These things will help you understand. That nipping, biting, peeing, crazy, puppy you brought home isn’t being naughty, it just has a lot of potential growing inside of it’s little body and has no impulse control or filter on its desires. If you get a breed or breed mix designed for a job, it needs to have an outlet, or it will make one. Usually it will not be an appropriate version if they come up with it on their own. Chopper, the dog in this video, has lived in a specific environment here, to allow him to flourish and be successful. This takes a lot of hard work and a lot of experience.
Duke, our Clarksville friend, previously did a board and train here. He comes back for regular boarding now. He is back so I couldn’t wait to see if he could fit through our biggest doors in our building! It is far from done, but the exterior is now up!
Here are our alternating locations for our Drop Ins, every Sunday at 2 pm in March! Cookeville Location

Got a Dog? Drop In for 45 minutes of learning! Every Sunday at 2 pm, we will be teaching a drop in class in town. What is a drop in? Just show up to class! You don’t have to register.
