Dealing with a biting pup? 🐶🐾 While play biting is common in puppies, it’s important to discourage it while playing with humans early on. Teach your furry friend to play gently and avoid painful nips. Use techniques like giving them appropriate chew toys and redirecting their energy with regular exercise.

Hey, hey, hey! Meet Campbell! This little ball of love started our Private Foundations last week. Initially he was pretty frightened when I entered the home, this week he was already more willing to investigate the strange intruder that keeps dropping tasty snacks! It’s amazing how quickly training can change a dogs perspective on matters! His mom has been doing an excellent job this past week of training working to build his confidence, and her control in hectic situations to keep him safe.

Meet Moira our newest Freedom Student! Her parents are seeking assistance in improving Moria’s off leash control in order to give her the freedom she deserves while keeping her safe. Looking forward to guiding them through this process and showing all how fun it can be working with an energetic pup like Moira! Look forward to future updates!

🐾 Meet Luna! 🐾

We’re excited to introduce the newest member of our private Freedom Program – Luna, a joyful Golden Retriever who absolutely LOVES life! 🌟

Luna’s playful personality and boundless energy make her a fun companion, but sometimes her energy gets her into some trouble.

With some dedicated training and a lot of love, we’re confident she’ll thrive and be the well-behaved, happy pup we know she can be! Stay tuned for updates on her journey as we help Luna unlock her full potential. 💪🐕💖

🐾 Meet Jean Louis! 🐾

We're excited to introduce Jean Louis to our private Freedom Program! 🐶✨ Jean Louis is an adorable pup with a ton of potential—she’s working hard on her off-leash obedience, and we're so proud of the progress she’s already made. But like many dogs, she’s got a bit of a challenge to overcome: food aggression.

We're here to help her feel safe, calm, and confident when it comes to mealtime. 🍽️ With the right training and patience, we know she can make huge strides!

We’re looking forward to watching her grow in her journey to freedom—both on and off the leash. Stay tuned for updates as she works through her program!

🎓🐾 Big congratulations to Jett! 🐾🎓

This incredible pup has officially graduated from our Private Freedom Program, and we couldn’t be more proud of his progress! 🙌 Jett is now fully off-leash trained and ready to take on the world—whether it’s running daily to burn off that energy with his mom or hitting the trails for a biking adventure with his dad 🚴‍♂️🐕.

We’re so excited to see all the amazing things Jett and his family will accomplish next, and we can’t wait to watch him shine at his support class! 🌟 Keep living the good life, Jett!

🐾 Meet Archie – Our Newest Freedom Program Pup! 🐾

We’re so excited to introduce Archie, the newest member of our Freedom Program family! 🎉 Archie is a sweet dog with a heart of gold, but he’s got some challenges to work through. He’s reactive around new people and can be a bit unsure of himself in new situations. Our goal is to help him build confidence, learn to trust, and feel safe in the world around him.

Archie’s journey will take time and patience, but we believe in him, and we know that with the right support and love, he’ll thrive! 💙 Stay tuned as we share his progress – we can’t wait to see this brave boy become the confident pup he was always meant to be!

01/07/2025

Meet Hank! (and Boba) Hank is dog reactive and currently enrolled in our Freedom program to reduce the severity of aforementioned reactivity. Today was our first lesson, laying the foundations of crystal clear communication, and we will continue to encourage and challenge Hank to make decisions that align with his human half’s expectations. Both Hank and his mom killed it at today’s lesson! Keep up the great work!! (Boba did a great job too!)

This is Augustus! He is a Vizsla who needs some confidence around new people because he gets a little aggressive.

This is Suki! She is a Whippet/ Pitty mix who adores her toys and is very aware of her surroundings. She is working with us in a Private Freedom program so that she can be off leash and be less reactive to other dogs and people both in and outside of her house. She has a ton of energy and is always looking for something to do, which makes her a great learner! So far she is doing great in her program, can’t wait to see how she improves from here!

12/11/2024

Here are Titan and Bruno! They are working with us in two separate programs to help them get along better at home. Titan is a German Shepherd who absolutely loves his family and lets everyone know about it. Bruno is a Pitty mix who is a bit stubborn and opinionated around the other dogs at home. Titan has been in a board and train getting his anxiety down and increasing his impulse control, while Bruno is in an Private Freedom course so that we can work with both of them and everyone else at home to make their lives as harmonious as possible.

12/10/2024

This is Gus! He is a year old Black Lab working with us in an on-leash Foundation Class! He loves everything so much he has trouble calming himself down sometimes and listening to his parents. We are working with him and his parents to get him a little calmer and work on his impulse control around pretty much everything. Looking forward to seeing him improve!
