A big congratulations to Colleen with her lovely family for rocking our Foundations + eCollar Program with their handsome boy Hank! Colleen came to us for help with Hank after adopting him when previous family could no longer keep him … he’d been living the farm life which included chasing ATVs and ultimately needing a knee surgery from said activity. Their precious bulldog was a sweet, chill pooch and Hank was quite outside her wheelhouse - he’s got an agenda and it’s usually up to no good! We helped her create structure at home with clear boundaries (crate, Place, etc) and showed her how to set obligations through clear leash & eCollar communication. Her once stressful walks are now enjoyable and Hank is living his best life ever!
Colleen said it best, “I took Hank with me to drop off and pick up Miles at school (walking). Hank did so well with all the cars and kids. I was so proud.“
Go Team Hank!

Awesome feedback from happy client: “I am able to drink coffee in the am without them bothering me!!!! Thank you! 💕🙏🏽🐾” “I can eat, sit, watch tv and I don’t have a dog barking at me to play!!!!“ “Justin is a miracle worker!”

Miracles aside ;) Not all dogs possess the skill of self-soothing and teaching them through first crate time and then Place command (which is essentially a crate without walls), gives your dog this essential skill and keeps everyone happier & healthier.

Kudos to our awesome client for putting in the solid, consistent effort at home. Especially in a multi-dog home, we know it’s not always easy but it is always rewarding & worth it.

Congratulations to Rebecca and her best boy Nacho for acing our Foundations + eCollar Program! We were honored to help Rebecca with Nacho as she’s already invested a lot of time and money with Nacho, but felt that she was missing the basics and knew their relationship could be better. Cut to a few months later after lots of learning, proofing and, yes, fun! And Rebecca reports that she’s never felt a stronger bond with him. We helped Rebecca use the leash, collar and eCollar as more clear & effective communication tools as well as implement more structure at home to put her on that so important leadership position. Nacho is one awesome dog and working with both of them has been an amazing experience. We just got a wonderful success story from her: “1st off leash hike since starting with you guys and he was AMAZING despite all the distractions (other hikers and dogs). ”
We concur - Team Nacho all the way!

Congratulations to Katrina & Kenzie for rocking our Foundations + eCollar Program with their pooches Tucker and Lola! We did a lot with this lovely family including a three week board & train for Lola. She’s a nervous girl who needed lots of help building confidence and we provided that here with very structured days & clear boundaries. Being around our balanced pack also helped a lot!
At the same time, we started lessons with Katrina & Kenzie using Tucker as the dog to focus on. He’s a smart boy and well - so did his people!
Once Lola finished her board & train, she joined lessons and it was truly a big family affair.
We are soooooo happy for their progress and very proud of their work to keep Lola happy & healthy as well as Tucker. A multi-dog home can be challenging but now they have the tools, skills and knowledge to keep up the success!

A big congratulations to Erin and her big boy Douglas Fir (Dougie) for acing our Foundations + eCollar Program! We originally met Erin & Dougie when he was just a pup and being a good little dog. Cut to 100+ pounds later with a bit of reactivity, and we were more than happy to help Erin with her now adult dog that needed better manners. We loved working with them both - Erin is super fun and happy to learn, as is Dougie - they’re an awesome pair. We are really proud of the work she’s put in and how much progress they’ve made in the past few months. Dougie is a fan favorite and for good reason - he’s a lovable, playful and much better mannered good boy. We’re looking forward to their continued success and more dun times at group classes!

Congratulations to Bekah & Tyler with their happy girl, Mochi for rocking our Foundarions + eCollar program! Bekah & Tyler came to us for help with Mochi’s high energy, over-excitement and not listening. Fortunately, it’s a family of smarties and everyone learned quickly, which made the training lots of fun, too! We are very impressed with Bekah & Tyler’s diligence and commitment to training. Mochi is a fun, happy dog but that can also make training difficult when she just wants to play. They’ve all made heaps of progress and first group class was awesome. Go Team Mochi!

To all our people, please share, Buttercup needs our help. You may have been at a group class with her and Tina. She's had extensive training, and is very sweet once you get to know her. If you are willing to foster, or adopt, we're willing to help you out with a few lessons to ease the transition. Helping is as easy as sharing this with your people so we can find her a home! Don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested or know someone who is.

Congratulations to Jeremy & Daniela for completing our Foundations + eCollar Program with their spicy girl, MeiMei! Jeremy & Daniela came to us for help with MeiMei’s intense reactivity, which kept their lives very limited. They’ve worked really hard and have a really long way, with progress made that’s opened up their world a lot more. Rehabbing a reactive dog is a marathon, not a sprint, so there’s still plenty for them to do but they now have the skills, tools and knowledge to keep the successes coming. Very proud of the efforts they’ve put in and we’re looking forward to continuing to help them at group classes. MeiMei is a lucky pooch to have Jeremy & Daniela on her side. They are wonderful people doing awesome work!

No surprises here! Unless you’re living in snow country with sled dogs, the harness is not the tool for you or the average pet dog.

Want to learn a more effective and efficient way to walk your dog? Contact us today for a complimentary consultation where we show you our Attention Exercise and start your training journey for a happier, healthier life with your pooch.

Dog harnesses are sometimes claimed to reduce pulling forces on the leash, but an experiment found they have the opposite effect

Congratulations to Chris and Melissa with their happiest of boys, Ubba, for flying through our Foundations Program! And we mean fly through because we doubled up lessons to fit their limited timeframe and they rocked it! Ubba is a super sweet, very excitable boy and while we all love a happy pooch, his ability to focus and pay attention made walks very difficult, and his exuberance can be a big turn-off to other dogs & people. Chris and Melissa stepped up to the plate, worked diligently and really impressed us in the short time we had. Ubba is still Ubba - we don’t make robot dogs! - but now listens better and walks are much more enjoyable for all. We’ve already seen them at one group class, where they did awesome work, and we’re looking forward to their next one. We can’t wait to hear about their continued success in the next chapter of their lives, too!

Congratulations to Landra with her sweet girl Roo for mastering our Foundations Program! Landra came to us for help with her 7yr Heeler after trying to find the best way to train while sifting through the overwhelming online information. Landra is a curious, keen-to-learn, smart gal and we had tons of fun teaching her. Roo is also a smart one and picked things up pretty quickly so lessons seemed to fly by! The sky’s the limit for these two and we look forward to seeing their continued success!..

Congratulations to Brandee & Neal for rocking our Foundations Program with their good boy, Colfax! Brandee & Neal came to us for help with Colfax’s timidness, mild behavior issues and difficulty with new/unusual situations & sounds. They were amazing to work with - taking on board the advice, tools and skills to help Colfax gain confidence and show off his high intelligence for learning quickly! They were steadfast through the difficult moments and lead Colfax past his nervous reactivity as we recreated certain moments (I.e., person at doorway). We learned a lot and enjoyed some laughs along the way, too. Colfax is a lucky boy and we’re stoked to have them at group classes soon!

Congratulations to Renate and her girl Petra for graduating from our Foundations + eCollar Program! Renate is a first time dog owner and wanted to make sure she was setting up Petra (and herself) for a quality, healthy, balanced life together. She had done her research and knew about GSD breed and we appreciated her taking everything on board, going out of her comfort zone and putting in awesome effort every week. Petra is a great dog and lucky to have such a caring, committed owner. We’re very grateful to be part of their training journey. And we look forward to seeing them in group classes!

Congratulations to Autumn & Nico for graduating from our Foundations + eCollar Program with their awesome girl, Lilo! We started with puppy lessons and it’s been an absolute joy to see Lilo blossom into a young adult with great leadership from Nico & Autumn. Lilo is a Belgian Malinois with all the typical attributes - intelligent, driven and focused … although she still has fun & silly puppy moments, too! There’s really no limit to what she can do and we are keen to see what all they do with her. And very excited to continue to see them in group classes!

A huge congratulations to William for absolutely rocking our Foundations + eCollar Program with his Aussie Shepherd mix Ollie. William came to us for help with Ollie’s nervousness around new things and reactivity to people & dogs. Ollie has the herding & nipping instinct hard-wired and is without a doubt one of the toughest dogs we’ve worked with. William is doing amazing work with her and facing challenges head on. Ollie follows his lead very well and he’s been able to open up their world immensely with tons of exposure on walks near parks, etc. We are truly impressed with his dedication and commitment. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a natural with Ollie and learned concepts & skills very quickly. We love this duo and very happy for more future success!

Also, a few of our boarding and board & train doggos: Phinney, Coco, Lola, Molly, Leo, Odin, Zeke and Daisy.
