Did you know obedience is not the most important thing to teach your puppy? Do they need it eventually yes. But first they need to learn about their world.
Rocco is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. They tend to mature a lot slower than other breeds and they are used as guard dogs so they are a bit more suspicious of their environment.
He was fearful of this stuffed dog at Hollywood Feed. Instead of ignoring it and moving on we worked through his fear at his pace with cues and games he was confident in!

LITTLE DOGS NEED EXERCISE TOO!
I’m not sure why or how but somewhere along the line we decided that very small dogs and very large dogs are low energy. And that’s not always true!
Breeds like French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers and Yorkshire Terriers can be just as energetic as larger dogs. Dogs who don’t have their needs met can develop behavior and health issues. Get your little dogs out and about! They were bred to do things too.
Clarke the Australian Cattle Dog mix working on a heel position in his group class!
We teach heel position slowly and we build a ton of value in being in that position. It doesn’t just mean walking it means staying at their handlers side!!
