“My dog jumps the fence.”

“My dog digs UNDER the fence.”

“My dog doesn’t care about or listen to me at all on a walk.”

“My dog cares SO MUCH about me on a walk, that he/she views other people and dogs as threats.”

“My dog eats things that aren’t food, and my vet bills are out of control.”

“My dog comes when I call, but only if he/she feels like it.”

“My dog is a great dog, but I wish (fill in the blank thing) was different.”

We hear these things all the time. And we are often really successful at resolving these issues for folks.

But our absolute favorite thing is teaching people how to PREVENT these things.

Puppy class is a really great way to get a head start on building the dog you really want.

Now.

Before these issues become a cycle of set behavior.

Our next round of puppy classes begin on Sunday, November 23.

From baby steps to bold recall. Puppy focus is a gift, but without structure it fades fast.

Puppies want to come back. Our job is to give them a reason to keep doing it—every time.

The kind of off-leash freedom you dream about on snowy trails or summer hikes?
It doesn’t start with a recall command.
It starts with a relationship.

In this video:
📍 Clip 1: Sigrun as a very young pup (12 weeks) learning how to recall.
📍 Clip 2: That same dog, responding to a single whistle—because we built trust, structure, and consistency early.

👉 Want this kind of partnership next summer?
Start now.
Our Puppy Foundations class gives you the tools to raise a dog who chooses to come back—because the bond is built, and the boundaries are clear.

✅ Calm leadership
✅ Clear expectations
✅ Active engagement
✅ And yes—plenty of real-world practice

🚨 Our fall classes start November 23rd.

Spots are limited. By next summer, your dog could be the one you trust off leash, on trail, and by your side.

Imagine this: It’s a crisp fall morning. You’ve got a hot coffee in one hand and a leash in the other. Your dog is at your side—focused, calm, ready to work. Not just chasing the next idea that floats through their heads, but checking in with you. Waiting for your next cue.

This is what Retriever Foundations is about.

It’s not about wearing your dog out.
It’s about working with them.
It’s about shaping drive into connection, and play into partnership.

Whether your dog is ball-obsessed or just bored with the same old walk, this 4-week class helps you build a clear, reliable relationship—so your dog learns to follow your lead, even when the world is exciting.

✨ Updated drills

✨ A better bond waiting on the other side
