In this video you will see me working Joey a young German shepherd pup for the first time in a public setting on some off leash obedience . He is in with us for a 4 week board and train.
Joey came in nervous and unsure of everything. new people, other dogs, sounds, objects, fast movement. It was difficult for his family to control him on or off leash without him barking, pulling and lunging like crazy.
We’re now nearing the end of Joeys time here with us and through a lot of praise, Obedience training, and exposure. Joey has become a much less stressed dog who can now hangout calmly with us anywhere we go! Now we can use the commands we have worked on to manage his behavior in any situation. In the last few weeks Joey has become so much more confident and social. We can’t wait to see him continue to improve at home!
Everyone meet Ripley the 5 month old springer spaniel puppy. She was born here at the kennel and has been staying here for the last 4 weeks for obedience training. Let me tell you she’s one smart dog! Every dog learns at their own pace. Ripley is super eager to please which makes training with her very fun for me! I have on and off leash trained her as well as e-collar trained. She came in a typical jumpy/ excited puppy, So how do we fix that? OBEDIENCE TRAINING. Sit stay means sit stay not jump up when someone comes to say Hello. Im sad to send this one back but we’re so excited to see how she does back with her family!
Love getting updates like these! Zen completed our 4 week board and train program where we trained him on and off leash. Then the work is up to you guys! and it’s important that everyone in the family is consistent with following through. As you can see here zen’s family is doing just that. (Look at that little snap back when zen tries to get ahead…I think we may have a new future trainer! Lol)
This is zen the French bulldog being put to the test with our personal dogs as distractions! (Lilly the lab, Dixie the springer, puzzle the Aussie, and Riddle the golden) He has been with us for over a month now. This dog went from being a crazy nippy puppy to a model pooch in no time! We have done off Leash and e-collar training, so now zen is just about ready to go and teach his family all his cool new skills!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dog dads out there. This was the card my dogs got me.
Nimue the German shepherd working on down stays with a few distractions running around!
I think Zen has a case of the ZOOMIES! Zen is a French bulldog puppy in for our puppy preschool program. Here he is enjoying some play time after a training session. Check out those little bunny hops at the end! 🐰
Puppy party!! This is part of our socialization during our puppy preschool.
Teaching Booker the chocolate lab to heel nicely when walking with a stroller or wagon for his family. Puzzle and Dixie were more than happy to play the part of the kids and get to ride in the wagon!😂
Yeti Jumping Playing Catch
Yeti enjoying some fun time in the pool! Taught him how to catch the ball mid air today!
We are working on teaching Gremlin how to come when called off leash.
.
This was the first time she is off leash and I let her outside and went inside for a few minutes.
.
I do this so her mind is off of “training” then I walk outside and call her and she comes and sits perfectly in front of me!
.
Then she gets a lot of praise!
.
She is coming along nicely!
