Clarifying the rules of the games we play as well as incorporating parts he likes (keep away, fetch, and tug) as well as the parts I like (focus, sit/down/stand) Into our play, keeps life fun! We can work a lot of obedience in under 2 minutes and have fun doing it.

We love building a more cooperative relationship between dogs and owners based on fun and trust! Are you ready to come play with us?

One of the things I have consistently worked with jag on, is that toys are mostly fun because of the games WE play with them. They're not nearly as fun as playing by yourself. Sure, there's chew toys I will hand him to let him go chew on his own...but he'd always much rather play with me then by himself. That comes in super handy while working as he is always more motivated these days by cooperatively or competitively playing with ME...then he is about the toy itself.

And with that, it doesn't matter if it's a ball or some random object I decided might be fun to play with together, he wants to play our game!

We took a field trip! Trained dogs can definitely have more fun! And they have to be taught that sit isn't just sit in the living room, but it applies everywhere. (Next to a water spout? Next to other dogs?) So practicing out in the real world helps them be more stable and enjoyable. We worked together in walking past a LOT of distractions, be calm around other dogs, and sit calmly when asked.
Because...trained dogs can have more fun!

Miss Charlotte working on come away from distractions! Working on speed of response right now and getting in the repetitions! Good training can look like paint drying, it's very repetitive. But just like any good habit, you gotta put in the reps to get the response. That's where we are at with this girl. But she's doing great!

Welcome little miss Charlotte to our Blazing Trails K9 training family! She is in for our basic on leash obedience board and train program. We are on training day 4 and we already have hand signals for sit and down and building some duration and mild distractions on her down, as well as lots of repetitions on her recall!
Follow her progress! We look forward to seeing how it all turns out, she's a super sweet and fun little gal!

Ash was having so much fun at his field trip to practice manners in the park he started drooling (hard to see :-))
Practicing manners when out in public is part of what we do, he is learning to down on his verbal only cue so we can cue him at a distance etc. Also more learning to relaxing when there's a bunch of people around. He's come so far!

Awwww...remembering Tyler! This sweet boy was one of Lynnes early personal dogs and he was amazing! He lived to be about 12 years old and was an amazing demo dog. At the time of his passing he knew over 200 cues including things like close the door, turn on and off the lights, "where's my keys", all the silly pet tricks and loads of other tricks and behaviors. He loved everybody and every animal and spent time playing with her macaw. He did countless demos all over the place and was a standing fixture in her classes for at least a decade. He's been gone for over 15 years at this point but he still holds a place in the Blazing Trails K9 family. Here he is doing a sit pretty at probably about 11 years old....we miss you good boy!
