Our friend Thor, the standard poodle, is with us during our 4 week puppy foundations board and train program.

During his stay with us he has been learning his basic commands, manners, and getting in lots of socializing and confidence building to set him up for success as he grows. Now that Thor is about half way through his program he will be working on his obedience commands in new places with some trickier distractions.

When he goes home in a couple of weeks he will be excited to show off all of the new behaviors he’s learned and ready to continue on the path of success!

Congratulations to our beginner obedience graduates this evening! 🎓

05/30/2024

We are nearing the end of our 4 week board and train with Libby the Labrador Retriever.

She has learned so much while she’s been with us; especially about neutrality and remaining calm! However, Libby has also learned that having manners and following basic commands has SOOO many perks…

- She gets to enjoy new hiking paths
- Go toy / treat shopping
- Indulge in pup cups
- Visit her new kitty friends (seeking homes)
- Learn about swimming and other summer activities
- Spend her time adventuring instead of being alone at home

Training is life long, but Libby had a great foundation laid for her best buddies to follow through with! Go Libby!

05/29/2024

Videos

These little guys were with it for the tug o war game 😀 They had a bunch of fun!

Our friend Buddy the Dachshund has been keeping busy learning how to use his nose to find his rat friends!

I wanted to share this video of one of our students having a major break through! When Beemo first started attending our training school he was very shy and nervous. He recently came out of his shell enough to play fetch with a favorite toy in our building AND may be conquering the Canine Good Citizen test! Beemo’s owner has done an amazing job teaching him training is fun and it’s okay to be nervous sometimes and how to work through it. We are happy to celebrate this teams progress!

Will my dog get to play with other dogs during their stay at Wildcard Canine? In a bit of a nut shell - yes! We match dogs into play groups who ENJOY playing with other dogs. Not every guest who stays with us does and sometimes their owners would prefer their pets not to play with other dogs. Sometimes we have larger play groups (like in this video here) but most of the time our play groups are 3-4 dogs per play group. It all depends on who is staying with us and what their needs are to have a great and safe stay! (Video featuring: Cooper, Juju, Liddy, Bear, Desi, Max, Bodi, Lucy, Cookie, Myla, Koa, and Rocky!)

I got some new software to make training updates a little easier hopefully! This video is sped up quite a lot to make it fit for the post. I’m not gonna lie - this is a boring video to watch. But that’s the thing, dog training and behavioral modification IS BORING. As dog trainers we spend most of our time shaping behaviors we like and luring to show the dog what we want. We’ve had quite a journey with Dusty and in this video we are working on the “auto sit” behavior and loose leash walking around distractions. To Dusty, dogs are super distracting! So we took advantage of the heat and did some sessions around his friends. In the video, you can see a few parts where Dusty is unsure of what he is supposed to do. As he continues to get rewarded and receive guidance he quickly becomes much more confident and he even starts having fun! His tail comes up and he starts to get a little bit of fancy feet and eye contact going on. During Dusty’s time with us we’ve taken extra care to move at his pace. Because at the end of the day - how Dusty feels about himself and his experience will be what gives him and his family the skills to keep moving in the right direction. (This is where our boarding, board and train, daycare, and foster dog friends stay during their stay with us - unless they are in the house. Yes, this building is air conditioned!)

Getting the zooms out before it’s too hot to function 😬

Our 4 week board and train puppy friend Ally has had a busy week learning all about crate training, potty training schedules, socialization, puppy recall (come), markers, release words, not jumping, and how to walk on a leash. Our friend Milo the cat is taking his role in helping socialize her quite seriously. We have some room in our programs in the upcoming weeks and we’d love to speak with you about what your dog needs to know to fit into your family’s lifestyle!

It’s been a long time since we’ve done a daycare update! It was such beautiful weather yesterday and we had such a great group of dogs!

MARK & REWARD MARK & REWARD MARK & REWARD MARK & REWARD Nola working on getting check in reps in for her leash walking manners.

Hopefully everybody has had as good of a weekend as Bear and Lucy!

We had a fantastic outing at Obed River Park with board and trains Misha and Tango! Their leash skills stayed pleasant and we got some good neutral socialization in for sure!

Cheers to the weekend! 🥳 We will still be working but most of what happens is during the week. Mr. Duck went home tonight and I am happy with how his lesson went! Sending his family good vibes and continued success!

Video from the other day. Can we appreciate how these two play 😂

We wanted to share this video of Sadie working on her off leash heel command. This special girl completed her program with us and went home today. Congratulations Sadie!
