Had a nice environmental session last night with these guys. Dog has been in her new home only a few weeks. She was pretty solid and enjoyed the work. Remember when choosing a dog, have a realistic idea of what their genetic make up is going to require from you. These guys need a job and lots of mental and physical exercise. Nice work!

Had a great training session at the rail trail this morning. This guy arrived on a harness and was pulling like a freight train and getting way overstimulated whenever another dog passed. Put on a correct sized nylon training collar and the transformation was fantastic! Within two minutes he was heeling beautifully at his owners side, nice loose leash, letting dogs, bikes and walkers pass without incident. Once he understood his owner was in charge, you could see all the stress and frustration leave his body and they began to work as a team. Totally made my day!

I have a client in need of an experienced dog walker. Needed immediately and continuing for the next few weeks. DM me for more info. Thanks

This is pretty much his personality 24 hours a day. Never have I seen a dog with such a lust for life!

Today's tip: groom your dog. It looks like it's going to be a heavy tick season. Grooming is just good maintenance, great way to build your bond with your dog. Today we did nails, ear cleaning, brush and comb out, and teeth. Time we'll spent.

Had a great training session this morning on the rail trail with my little friend Dually. Pups go through a lot of changes during their first 6 months. He was a little "chippy" with other dogs and strangers on the trail at the beginning of session. After repeated encounters with dogs and walkers, strollers, bikes, etc. he began to settle and let the world pass by. We finished with a nice calm pup. Good work!

Please give these folks a look. They do a very good job.
Hello Bark Inn Kennels guests,
I would like to express my gratitude to all who have made our first year of ownership a huge success. At Bark Inn Kennels, we take pride in running our business the right way, ensuring that your dogs are as happy and healthy as they would be at home with you. To help us achieve this, we have made some significant changes to improve the comfort of your pets.
We have upgraded all but two of our single-size rooms to extra-large size rooms, providing your pet with a spacious 4'x8' room inside the kennel connected to an 8'x10' covered outside run, all to themselves. This will reduce our maximum capacity from twenty to only ten reservations per day, allowing for longer one-on-one exercise time with your dog, and creating a more relaxed and positive experience. We have also installed new security fencing and cameras, with many more projects planned to improve the comfort and security of your dog. We are proud to offer additional nature walks, conditioning exercise, grooming services, and even a shuttle service.
To continue providing the best services for your pups in our care, we are raising our boarding rates to $45 for a room per night. If you have additional dogs that can share that room, the cost is $35 for each additional dog. This pricing will be effective as of May 1st. Any reservations made before this date will be honored at the previous pricing. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for entrusting us with your furry friends. We look forward to continuing to provide excellent care for them in the years to come.

Apparently this old guy did not like me interrupting his springtime outdoor nap! The disgusted glare made me laugh.

Tonight's training tip, knowing when, why and how to apply pressure. Good pressure vs. bad.
I know I post a lot of dogs walking down this row of carts. We do this for a reason. A fair amount of dogs are very reluctant to perform this exercise the first time. The carts are slippery, they move and bang around, etc. This video is the dogs forth run. First time she wanted nothing to do with it. We applied some "correct" pressure and encouragement and she did it. Second run was a little better, third even better. So by this forth run, stress was gone, confidence was strong, she powered through with no pressure. That's why we do these types of things with young pups. Building them up by conquering stress with fairly applied pressure.

Today's tip. Warm weather is upon us. Remember to give your dogs a few weeks to acclimate to the heat. Especially if your dog is older, a little overweight, or if you "take the winter off". Train and exercise during the cooler times of day, take a cool down lap when you're done, and always have plenty of fresh cool water. If you compete in strenuous sports, consider adding a thermometer to your first aid kit. Educate yourself on how to read and treat heat stroke. Enjoy the spring and summer months with your dogs. Work hard, train smart!

Another Freddie post. After seeing him on the news this morning, I figured I'd give him another shout out. Freddie is the in house comfort dog for the Springfield headquarters of AMR Ambulance. I had the pleasure of working with him a few years back, helping him get ready for his certification. We went heavy on his environmental exposure, knowing he would need to be solid in any situation. This effort has definitely paid off. He has proven to be a tremendous asset to the AMR team. Providing a great form of stress relief just by being himself. He's also become a fan favorite and media star in the greater Springfield area. Keep up the good work Freddie, and as you continue to become more famous by the day, don't forget us little people!😝

One of my favorite clients!
Freddie, a 4-year-old goldendoodle, also got to help out teaching responders how and where to take a dog’s pulse.

Had a great time tonight with this little character! After conquering the staircases and push carts he decided to reward himself with a little game of jump the plastic wrap! Gave us a good laugh at the end of a long day!

Tonight's training tip. Genetics plays a huge role in how your dog will behave. Please do your research and choose a dog that will fit well with your lifestyle. If you want a super athlete with high intensity and intelligence, go with a breed like this. This dog requires a lot of time for exercise, training and environmental work. His owner enjoys working him so it's a good fit. Training is part of the picture, but genetics also plays a big role. Enjoy time spent with your dogs!
04/09/2024
Very nice work from my little friend today. 14 week old Dually showing focus and ability well beyond his age! Start your training early, it's the best investment you can make.

Big thanks and shout out to Diane at Bark Inn Kennels. We left Brixx in her care while we took a quick weekend trip. Nice small family run business, clean, heated, AC, backup generator, etc. For whatever it's worth, you all know I would not trust my dogs care to just anyone. Please check them out when planning your next trip or need to board you dog.

What a great session tonight with my new friend Murphy! He had never been to a place like this before. His confidence grew with each passing aisle. He wanted nothing to do with the first set of stairs we tried. A short time later he was skillfully climbing up and down. Nothing makes me happier than helping a dog gain confidence and seeing his whole demeanor change when the task is mastered. Look at how happy he is with himself. I truly enjoy my work.

My little friend Dash conquered some fear and gained some confidence tonight. I will help you learn when to apply appropriate pressure, or when not to. Also how to use stress and frustration to build drive and have a positive confident outcome. Real world training for everyday situations.

Spring is coming and the schedule is filling up. Puppy owners, please start early. The first six months of your pups life is a crucial time. The more environmental exposure and positive, confidence building experiences you can provide, the more solid that pup will be as a mature dog. Go to my site and fill out the "schedule a training session" form and we can go over options. Dog-town.net

This nice little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel had a great time with his environmental work last night. The only thing he struggled with was the fact that not everyone in the store was there to see him!😝
01/26/2024
Very pleased with the performance we got out of this pup tonight! 15 weeks old, another example of the benefits of starting early. No fear, willingness to work, happy go lucky confident pup.

Looking for some customer feedback. I'm researching/considering adding a new segment to my dog training business. Small scale dog walking service. This would be available only to current or previous training clients and cover the town's of East Longmeadow, Longmeadow and Wilbraham. Ideal for folks taking a day trip, or after working from home for the past few years, now need to go into the office a few days a week. I'm thinking this might be a great fit. We already have a relationship, I know your dog and they are comfortable with me. Thinking of being available 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and offering 15 - 30 minute visits. Visit would include a bathroom break, walk around the neighborhood or a backyard exercise session, quick meal if needed. I'm in the area with my training clients, so with an efficient schedule, I think this would work well. I truly enjoy training and that will continue to be my top priority, but there is a need for this service which has been brought to my attention. If you feel this would be a beneficial service to you and your dog please let me know. Thanks!

If you see this guy out and about today, wish him a happy 10th birthday!
Vrijheid's Ruud - call name Brixx.
I can't tell you how valuable this dog is to my training programs. Such a powerful mentor dog to my clients. His powerful, strong but low key vibe has an immediate effect on other dogs. He shows no reaction to aggression which shuts it down, is calm with puppies which helps them settle, gives confidence to dogs that need it. This typically happens quickly, with just a walk at the park or around the training fields. I will try to get some video footage of these transformations this year. In the meantime, thank you and happy birthday bud!

Today's 2 minute training tip. Spice up your walk with some mental stimulation. Use the environment around you to your advantage. The same old leash walk around the same old route, gets stale quick.
Another training session at the local home improvement center. I use these small stair cases for a couple of reasons. Open stairs present more of a challenge and can be stressful. Also they are good for teaching the dog body awareness. As you can see she struggles with the first attempt. Second try she learns to use her back legs and she goes right up. We hold the collar and guide the dog on the way down, encouraging her to place all legs on the steps for balance and to steady herself, which gets her comfortable. Nice work considering she had not done stairs at all the first time we met.
Just finished up a training session at the park with this young GSD. The purpose of this exercise was to reduce leash tension and pressure. By having his handler put her hands in her pockets, some leash tension is reduced. These two have come a long way in a short time! We will continue to raise the bar and fine tune their skills as he matures. Starting early is the key to a well adjusted, environmentally sound dog.
Today's session, taking a few basic obedience skills, and putting them together in a little pattern. Once we ran the pattern a few times, and the pup started to work faster and cleaner, we would change the order/pattern and repeat. Good way to work on basic skills and have a little fun!
