Fen’s first visit to the park! He had previously been too reactive toward people and dogs to even go for walks in his own neighborhood. This is his second session and he rocked it! He was calm enough to respond to cues and take treats in the presence of both people and dogs.
Handsome Freddy practicing impulse control. His first lesson on “stay” with the chickens!
Snickers and Willow are learning that new people aren’t scary.
We start at a distance they are comfortable with. All they have to do is sit calmly and look at the people and good things happen!

Little Lucy is loving her bike run lessons!
Exercise doesn’t replace training, but a good run can help a lot with focus and calming reactivity. Biking is a fun way to burn the dog’s energy, while saving your own. Plus it’s a fun way to bond with your dog!

Happy 13th birthday Angel!!!
Just wanted to celebrate Jingles’ longest “stay” so far! Also, snow is great but we’re feeling ready for spring now.
No more door-bolting for Koda! Here’s a snippet of lesson #1 on not crossing the door threshold until invited. He was doing so well we added people outside to tempt him.
