C. F. Pawsitive Packleader Doggie Daycare & Training

Lily has been absolutely amazing with her obedience skills! Last week, we dove into some exciting training, focusing on recall, “with me” off-leash, stay, and “off.” This girl is a superstar when it comes to learning and she just keeps getting better every time we practice together! We introduced some people distractions, which can be a bit tricky for her, but she absolutely rose to the challenge! She came running back every time I called her, stayed right by my side during our walk when I gave the “with me” cue, and held her stays like a pro, even with some of her favorite people giving her loving pets! Way to go, Lily! Keep shining! 🌟

Barry got dressed up for St. Patrick’s Day during his enrichment! While working on, leave it, sit, stay all while looking this cute! 🐾🍀🍀🍀

Delilah was the St. Patrick’s Day princess during enrichment today !🍀 dressing up and working on all of her basic commands! 🐾

What's more thrilling than rolling toys? Rolling toys packed with treats! Copper, our ball-loving buddy, was absolutely electrified as he zoomed around with his toys. The real excitement kicked in when he discovered that tasty treats were tumbling out at every turn! It didn’t take long for him to crack the code of those puzzle toys, and soon enough, he was gleefully snatching up all the delicious treats flying out!

Lily spent some time working on leash skills to kick off her session! She did amazing looking to her handler near distractions and walking at a relaxed pace! She then spent some time practicing greeting people while they are sitting. She did pretty well and only needed to be reminded “off” a couple of times early on. Overall she was a great listener and made good choices!

Wally learned how to crawl today! We kicked off the session by practicing some tricks he already knows like sit, down, paw, and rollover to warm up! We then started working on crawl which requires Wally to lay down and move forward without standing up. He got the hang of this trick quickly and we were able to increase the length he crawled before he was given treats! He then got to wind down with some snuggles (his FAVORITE). He is such a smart and happy boy!

Barry is a jack of all trades! He kicked off his session by holding place while the trainer picked up the sniff course activity! This required a lot of self control because there were toys, treats, and other fun items that were being picked up! He was AWESOME!! Next he learned some yoga moves! After a bit of troubleshooting, Barry gained some bodily awareness and was impressive with his execution of these new poses! He then started learning play dead and was an absolute goofball about it!

Opal worked on her leash skills and engagement in main parking lot today. She worked through a lot of distractions and cuing “touch” was helpful when she was getting sticky about environmental distractors! At the end of the session Opal got some snuggles which she was very excited about!!

Zephyr practiced her leash skills today! It took her a couple minutes to get focused and start walking but once she locked it in she had a very productive session. We concentrated on her eye contact cue and autosit. She did well responding to “leave it” when around distractions too!

Frankie got sniffy today during enrichment! She kicked off her session by patiently holding place while the sniff course was set up. Her favorite part was the tennis ball muffin tin puzzle! She was a little hesitant about the leaning place bed but after some words of encouragement Frankie sprung into action and crouched under it to get the treats! After her session she got to camp out in a snow bank which was debatably the highlight of her day so far!

Moxie teamed up with Delilah to practice recall with a friend! These two little speeders had so much fun running around and did an excellent job recalling! Moxie was able to recall during play, while sniffing, and from a distance! We have been working on fading out treats with Moxie and he did a great job reliably returning without being given treats for it! Good boy!

Watching Tilly participate in the sniffari was highly entertaining! She ambled around the training building unsure where to begin her search. She then discovered a tennis ball and enlisted it to search for the treats with her. She would spit out the ball, snag the treat, and then pick up the ball again to continue her search.
