B&T Jack (the black and red shepherd) is a washout search and rescue dog who has been adopted into one of our existing client's families. He is with us for a week to work on his social skills with other dogs; to learn to introduce himself politely without excessive energy and barking, and to play politely. Today he met Pepper, one of our daycare clients, and showed us how much he's getting the hang of this. He's also going to be working on his social skills with people, learning how to greet without jumping.
Personally, we think he's crushing it. 🥰

Nosework Group Class, Part 1! Instructed by Trainer Ally
What a fantastic group we had out last Thursday to participate in our first Nosework class. Joined by a whole host of dogs—different levels of energy and drive, different training goals and histories, different sizes, breeds, etc…all absolutely loving the game.
Nosework is a fantastic outlet for dogs: a game they can play anywhere—including inside your living room in some of the harsher cold days—to burn off mental energy, and build confidence.
We had a host of various scents available for the dogs to begin to imprint on (pair with good things to create a positive association!): rabbit, duck, pheasant, antler shed, birch oil, clove…even house keys!
In session one, attendees focused on the basics of Nosework. Pairing food to the scent source, confidence with putting their head into the box containing the scent, and the beginning of the search for their specific scent between multiple, identical boxes.
We will be continuing this course in the group class format for dogs to build off of their previously learned skills. And, if the class gets enough excitement, we will likely repeat and expand on it.
Group classes are a BLAST! Available by drop-in to any dog who has completed our Foundation Partnership Training program, or equivalent. Rotating days, rotating subjects. Such a fun way for owners who have invested in their dogs’ training already, to cost-effectively continue their companion’s education, and connect with other members of their community passionate about the same thing.
Can’t wait for future classes!

NOW OFFERING GROUP HIKES!
❗❗NEW SERVICE ALERT! ❗❗
By popular demand, we are introducing a new service! We will be offering group hikes on Mondays and Fridays from 11AM-12PM! This is a fantastic option for dogs who need additional structured exercise or a different way to socialize with their doggy friends. The details:
🐾 All dogs eligible! Trial hike required – graduates of our off leash training program get their trial hike for free!
🐾 Hikes will be one hour with one of our trainers, with a minimum of two dogs and a maximum of four dogs per staff member.
🐾 Dogs who have been through our off leash training will be able to hike off leash. All other dogs can hike on a long line!
➡️ If you want your dog to be able to hike off leash, we are offering a shortened ecollar conditioning course of 2 private lessons focused on recall.
➡️ If your dog needs additional training to be able to hike safely, we can help with that too! Dogs who are muzzle conditioned can still participate in hikes.
🐾 Hikes will be $50, with graduates of our off-leash program receiving a $5 discount. Add this service to boarding or daycare or utilize it on it’s own!
Trainer Elena @thedogs.biteback kicked off the first of our drop in classes with a session on PLAY! We had some amazing students and by the looks of it, everybody had a wonderful time. Stay tuned for more!
