PUPS Dog Training

PUPS Dog Training I'm here to help make life with your dog more enjoyable. More smiles, less snarls 🙃 Does your dog need some manners? Welcome to
PUPS Dog Training!

We are a team of experienced trainers who came together to help you better understand your dog and learn great life skills so that you can have a life-long, positive relationship with your furry family member. Does he ignore you in the park, pull on leash, rush at and jump on guests, chew furniture, bark incessantly? These are just a few of the things we can help you with! We use modern, reward-ba

sed training to help you build a strong relationship with your dog. We offer a variety of classes to help you, from Puppy Kindergarten and Basic Manners to Outdoor Walking Skills classes, Advanced Manners classes and NoseWork. We truly look forward to meeting you and your pup.

Some news if you didn't already notice: We have a little two legged one joining us in February! I will keep the website updated with options that are available for classes as we get closer to the New Year as there will be less options than normal for a little bit. There are some classes with availability still for Nov/Dec if you want to take a look! And as always, feel free to email any questions or for scheduling private lessons.

A packed puppy lesson for this cutie. Our main focus was preventing potential future behavior issues, as well as puppy basics of potty training, biting, and recalls.

Triangle 🔺️ Recalls: one of my favorite exercises to strengthen the concept of the dog BYPASSING distractions in the environment to come to you when they're called. That silver prize bowl is just a metaphor for anything in the environment the dog wants to interact with--it could be a squirrel, a really good smell, the neighbor, etc. Dogs need to practice making an active choice between detouring to the distractions (aka prizes!), OR coming when called. And we don't want the dog to think coming to us always gets in the way of their fun: responding may grant them access to that fun environment.
Easy levels include being on leash and keeping the prize further from you & the dog. Build up to closer distances & off leash.

Looking for a cool (air conditioned! ;) ) activity to do with your dog this summer? Free on Fridays? Try K9 Nosework! Since Melanie's waitlists are growing too long, we are having Kate Godfrey of Comprehensive Canine come teach at our Gainesville studio.

Nosework is great for confidence, strengthens the attention span, tires them out more than physical exercise, and more! There are no prerequisites needed for the intro to K9 Nosework class.

Happy New Year! 🎉
Some random 2022 pics. I could be better about more pictures in 2023- I have too many adorable & successful canine clients but too little photos of them!

Day 25 🌟 Word Recognition. See you in the New Year! 🎉

12/24/2022

Day 24 🌟 Arm hoops & hulahoops. Jumping for joy! ☃️

12/23/2022

Day 23 🌟 Hug...but that awkward stiff armed, butt out type of hug.

12/22/2022

Day 22 🌟 Clean Up! Cousin Chief has arrived from Atlanta! I tasked my brother and future sister-in-law with teaching Chief a trick for tricksmas and they did a good job 👏

Day 21 🌟 Say Hi = Lean against. Really dropped the ball not getting over to a Santa or something to have the dogs Say hi to- ran out of time!
Leaning against someone is a nice alternative to other things for greetings. Sometimes sit is more difficult(especially on slippery floors), or uncomfortable for certain dogs & injuries, etc. If you don't like your dog to jump on people, Leaning is another tactile way your dog can engage with someone. Rey likes to jump and lean 🤪 she gets away with a little naughty, that's for sure!

Day 20 🌟 Conga! Sorta...can easily say we won't be winning any dance contests, ha.

12/19/2022

Day 19 🌟 Cooperative Care tricks! While it does take a lot of patience, you can teach your dog to cooperate with handling and wellness care. This is more of a necessity in Zoos! It's fun to watch cooperative care videos of zoo animals

Haven't seen agility since October & We've missed it! We'll get to it even more after our upcoming K9 Nosework trial

We wish every day was a swim day! Adding some swimming to Bentley's exercise regimen to help strengthen his aging back legs: they may not be as strong as they once were but his love for Ball & swimming still are!

In the 9 years I've been training, I've never met a harder group of dogs to teach nice leash walking than high drive bird dogs, namely Brittanys, GSPs, and working cockers. Having multiple types of walks is what has helped us the most. Context clues = clarity! A mature adult brain and lots of practice helps too. #brittanyspaniel #gnv #leashwalking #dogtraining

Rally Obedience skills. Rey is working on her next title for Rally and I realized I needed to tune up her side steps for certain pieces of the heel work, such as sign #123 that may show up in trial. #rally #akc #akcrallyobedience #brittany #gnv #dogs #dogtraining

Beating the heat with short, yet powerful forms of mental exercise. #k9nosework #gnv #dogstagram #brittanyspaniel
