Hey y'all! It's been awhile, but we're back. I had to step back for a bit for personal reasons, but am ready to help with your pups again!

We are reopening our Day Training Adventures program for April. We will take 2 dogs a month into this program, one schedule will be Monday, Wednesday, Friday for 4 weeks and the other will be Tuesday and Thursday for 6 weeks.

For those new to this program; I will come pick up your dog in the morning, take them to stores and parks and work on their training while also making sure they have tons of fun!! You'll get reports and pictures throughout the day, and then at the end I'll bring them back home tired and happy.

This program is NOT for any form of aggressive dog, this is for dogs who need leash manners, general manners, exercise, and socialization type training.

The cost for this premium package is $700.

Want to sign up? Have more questions? Pm us or text us at 360-972-3576. 🐾

this video is difficult to watch, and is not fun to share. But it showcases many signals dogs may give to get the space they need before biting.

Often owners punish these little signals thinking they're aggression in and of themselves, but they are the warning signs leading up to acts of aggression. Each time they don't work, a dog moves to aggression quicker and quicker.

Today's Adventure Dog work with Biggs had a touch of Christmas magic to it.

We braved the rain and cold, and had a blast!

I wish we could all enjoy life as much as Biggs does!

You know what my favorite part about owning dogs is? Exploring with them. 🥾

I LOVE watching them excitedly sniffing a new place, or out the window in the car. 🚗

I LOVE getting to work with them outside. 🍂

That is why I love offering my Adventure Dog and Board and Training programs. I get to help other dogs experience these same joys, and I get to help their owners feel happy knowing their pups are happy. ☺️

Want more information about these programs? Feel free to pm me or text 360-972-3576. 🐶

Happy Wednesday y'all. Auntie Chrissy has some pearls of wisdom for you today.

Just because you have a yard does not mean your pups don't need time outside of it.

Having a yard is amazing! Don't take us wrong. But thinking it replaces experiences out in the world is like saying your house has a basement the kids can play in so they don't need to play outside.

Your yard is an extension of your house, and is not as mentally stimulating as you might think. Toys help, playing WITH your dog in the yard helps; but it's more physical than mental in your own back yard.

I get it, especially this time of year, walks are not the most pleasant. However if you really want to exercise their body and their brain, they really do need to get out and about!

(Need some help? We are still offering our 3 day a week Adventure Dog Package, where I pick up your dog Mon, Wed, and Fri for field trips and bring them home in the evening. Message us for openings as we only take 2 dogs a month.)

Often I get asked:

"How long during the day do I need to dedicate to training?"

My answer to these owners is:

5 minutes is better than no minutes, 5 minutes 3 times a day is 15 more minutes than some dogs get. 2 10 minute sessions is 20 minutes. The little things add up, and a lot of dogs actually learn better with shorter chunks more often than one or two long sessions.
However, any time you're with your dog can be a training experience for them.

Of course a specific training time when you're working on something such as place or threshold training lays the foundation for that skill, but id argue even more of your dogs learning comes from the in-between times when you are just living your life together and teaching them what is expected.

Not coming into the kitchen while you're cooking, getting off the couch when told, what they can and can't chew on/play with; all of this IS training even if it may not specifically seem like it. Every time you're with your dogs you're training them, whether intentional or not. If you keep this in mind, and make better choices when you're with them, you'll be amazed at how much their behavior can change.

I get asked all the time what cleaning products I use for my dogs.

I use Skout's Honor, for everything from grooming, to cleaning, to even laundry! I love their safe quality ingredients and the probiotics in their grooming line help my pups skin and coat to look and smell beautiful.

You can find it at almost any pet store, as well as online.
