First road trip for C**t. I couldn’t be happier with how he handled himself today. We visited a dog friendly restaurant, Chuck and Dons and worked attention on in a construction zone. We had an off leash dog charge us with not good intentions. Kimber stood firm and C**t found his big boy bark. I am thankful Kimber was a good influence in the situation.

✅Potty training - no accidents

✅ learning to ignore the grand kids toys

👏👏 very well said!!

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

These are great 🤣

When you don’t have a vehicle available but you don’t want to miss dog class. 😆. Megan and Oakie sure are dedicated.

This is why we train right here. So incredibly proud of Kimber’s self-control. The porcupine decided to make its way back to the middle of the road, we waited for about five minutes the porcupine to get enough out of the way so we could safely pass.

It is dog bite prevention week! It is a week of awareness to educate people to help avoid dog bites.

🐾 Remember dogs are animals not toys
🐾 Educate yourself on dog body language
🐾 Teach children how to respect dogs & their space

There are many reasons why dogs bite, but some of the main ones are…

🐾 Resource guarding
🐾 Fear
🐾 Sensitive to touch
🐾 Being territorial
🐾 Pain
🐾 Inappropriate handling
🐾 Not properly socialized or lack of socialization
🐾 Lack of training 

Feel free to reach out to us if need help with your pup. Happy training!!

First road trip for Colt. I couldn’t be happier with how he handled himself today. We visited a dog friendly restaurant, Chuck and Dons and worked attention on in a construction zone. We had an off leash dog charge us with not good intentions. Kimber stood firm and Colt found his big boy bark. I am thankful Kimber was a good influence in the situation.

First Home Depot trip. It was a busy morning with allot of people, a fork lift and we met an off leash dog. Super proud of how he handled himself! ❤️

Basic obedience 2 worked on dealing with distractions. Recalls through bowls with yummy treats and ignoring other dogs. They rocked it!

Throwback to when Kimber learned how to put his toys away.

Advanced recall. Ensuring that your dog has a good recall is one of the most important obedience exercises you can teach them. There’s always an opportunity to strengthen this command.

Hope y’all can get out and enjoy this beautiful weather.

Gearing up for the pack walks 🐾

Always training 🐾

Love Barbossa’s impulse control here. Teaching good impulse control can take a while but so worth it in the end. Just love this boy! ❤️

Recalls 🐾🐾

Kimber spent 4 days up at horse camp with me, even when I am on my horse We are training. We did allot heal work, leave it, stays and recalls. On Thursday we went 12 miles and Friday we put on 18 miles.

Been working on sit with the puppies this last week. They are smart little buggers. So full of energy and LOVE snuggles. They turn 7 weeks old this coming Wednesday, hard to believe they will be leaving soon. ❤️
