Rush Pack Dog Training

Rush Pack Dog Training Offering custom private & board and train programs. Obedience | Manners | Behavior Modification

Here at Rush Pack Dog Training I strive to help you develop a better, more long lasting relationship with your dog. I help find ways for you to connect with your dog at their level (through mental & physical stimulation) while also finding ways to help your dogs connect with you on your level (boundaries, rules & structure). Just like human children it is our job to show our dogs how to exist in t

he world through daily living. Also just like humans most dogs need extra curricular activities & hobbies to keep their minds & bodies fresh. We want to hep you find ways to have fun with your dog, to truly bond with them while also setting appropriate rules & boundaries

Training can be hard & frustrating, teaching our dogs to understand human life can be challenging - and that is where I come into play. I will help you understand body language, how your pup is thinking & ways to speak dog without actually speaking dog. No two dogs are alike just no two households are built the same, which is why I provide custom training programs to fit you and your family's specific needs.

Duke and Rosie are house siblings who are here this week for boarding with added training. Rosie trained with me many years ago as a puppy, so it’s super fun to have her back as an adult ❤️.

Both pups are here for leash work & some recall finesse. Their mom would love to be able to walk them both together safely. They’re both super social and think everyone should be their friend. Downside to that is they get overstimulated easily and feed off of each others energies, which makes walks less than stellar.

So far they’ve done awesome with their leash work today. 💕

Pard went home this past weekend. He did soo good showing off everything he learned for his mom. He did so good I had to intentionally make “fail” so his mom would know what to do. ❤️

He’ll be back next year where we’ll apply everything he’s learned over the winter to the dock. I can’t wait to see what he’ll accomplish next year with his mom.

Everyone meet Pard. Pard is a beasty little dog who loooooves dock diving. Him and his mom have been taking lessons with me for the last 1.5 years and have been rocking it. His downfall is that pesky sit stay!

Pard is here for a custom board & train. He’ll spend 2 weeks learning all about the ecollar, some drive building and working on some duration sits. Then we’ll see him back in the spring for an additional 2 weeks to fine tune everything and start applying those sit stays to the dock!

We’ll spend today just adjusting and then get rolling tomorrow.

I can’t wait to work with him!

Sometimes I don’t feel like we give dogs enough credit.

Lucifer is a dog that stayed with me for 6 weeks (almost 2 years ago). He was a dog that struggled to settle, struggled with high anxiety when he wasn’t directly/consistently told what to do and had some pretty strong feelings towards other dogs (in stores only).

Even though he only stays with me a few times a year he still absolutely remembers our routine. We go out sometimes just to potty, sometimes to play and always with loads of love when he comes back in - he soaks up all the loves! But if I’m busy (usually doing laundry) he comes in and just hangs out, if I have a bed down on he’ll lay on it, if I don’t he’ll willing get in his kennel, lay down and just listen to me finish up a round of laundry. ❤️

His humans have done a kick ass job staying up with all his training which makes boarding go so smoothly.

The pack and I had another fun puppy week. This week we were joined by Rizzo - she is Zuko’s sister. 🥰

This week we had a special guest, Zuko.
This 14 week old Italian Greyhound Mix learned all about city life, living with the big dogs and adjusted to a new routine beautifully.

We dabbled with his toy drive - he prefers toys that keep moving 😉. Worked on recall and fun obedience with his puppy raiser friends.

I forgot to take non sport pictures of Rev.
He spent the last week with my while I was in Manhattan.
We worked on mostly leash skills & impulse control as well as started ecollar conditioning. We also played on the dock to help him & his mom have a much more coordinated routine. He was such a fun dog to work with 🥰.

Moses has been hanging out with us the past week and a half. He’s a farm dog learning all about that city life. He’s handling all the city noises beautifully ❤️. Making friends with my pack and adjusting to a change in pace like a rockstar.

Fun fact, Moses is a full brother to Ridge.
These pups are just over 8 months.

If I could give all new puppy/dog owners 1 piece of advice (okay, let's make it 2) it would be this:
1) Kennel training is more than just for potty training.
2) Hand feed as many meals as possible for the first year.

I read a meme last week, naturally I forgot to save it, but what it said-ish was:
"Using a kennel while you're gone safeguards your puppy's body. Using a kennel while you're HOME safe guards their minds."

Kenneling is not only required to help keep your dog from pottying inside or from getting into something they shouldn't but it also helps to teach them how to self sooth, that it IS okay to be alone and that they don't need to constantly be active/alert/or awake. They actually NEED time to shut their brain off and completely decompress/shut down.

Hand feeding is one of the best ways to bond, grow a relationship & really boost your engagement with your dog. Using their daily meals for training helps build their food drive, helps teach better work ethic, helps add value to your relationship and will make their treats THAT much better!

I promise, doing these two things will greatly improve the lives of all humans and dogs involved.

Need a little extra help? Set up a consultation with me today and we can discuss how to further help you and your pup.

Ridge, showing off some of what she’s been learning. We’re working on sending to a platform - the click comes when all 4 feet make contact and we’ve started adding duration. Also working on our around - started with a 5 gallon bucket inside. This is her second session with the trash can. This is also the first time I’ve added in a toy reward vs food reward. Her brain only slightly exploded 😂. Finally we’ve started adding words to our obedience (sit, down, stand, spin & turn). She is picking up on them sooo fast!! -I do not own the right to the music

It’s moments like this that we’re reminded Dixie is only 6 months old 😂. All I care about is she stays in her bed, which did even though the bone, did NOT. ❤️ Dixie is gearing up to go home this week, we’re doing quite a bit of duration place work (especially with this glorious weather). She’s doing fabulous! Also, on a fun note, we got a weight on her today. At roughly 6.5 months old, Miss Dixie is weighing in at just over 100lbs!!! 🤯 Get a Boerboel they said, it’ll be fun they said 😉.

Our Story

Every dog, every owner and every situation is different. We have learned that when working with dogs we need to be flexible in the methods and training that we use. We need to have the ability to adjust to the needs of that dog in order to better accomplish the desired behaviors. We believe that being a good leader and building trust is the key to having a stable and well balanced dog. A strong leader is calm and confident. Learning to recognize canine behavior and how to better communicate with them is an important tool when owning any dog. It is our responsibility, as humans, to teach our dogs what is acceptable and what is not. As training instructors our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to properly train and to better communicate with your dog. That way, at the end of the day, they can be a happy, balanced and well-mannered part of your family!
