Xylitol is a healthy sugar alternative found in certain chewing gum brands, but it can cause serious damage to dogs’ insulin levels. Make sure you keep any and all Xylitol gum far out of our furry friends’ reach, they can be too curious for their own good!

One of our previous puppy pupils found her way into her owner’s pack of Xylitol gum this week and had to be hospitalized. Sending you our prayers, Chloe!

Meet Sampson. We have enjoyed having this big pup with us for training. His energy level is very high, but so is his desire to please. He has learned to be a gentleman on the leash, down, stay, wait, come, and to go to his bed.

We’re going to help her family learn to be the leaders Glory needs. She is learning her obedience commands quickly and is so eager to please.

Meet Finn, an 11-month-old German Shepherd/Husky mix. He is staying with us this week to work on his listening skills and manners on the leash. His family loves him dearly but would prefer he come when called, not drag them when on the leash, and stop bolting when any exterior door is opened, among other things. Finn will get to go home this weekend and dazzle his family with his new gentlemanly behavior.

Meet Pico, a seven-month-old Catahoula mix that is currently enrolled in our Leadership and Lodging 1 course. And yes, he has two different colored eyes and always looks sad, even when he is playing. Pico is naturally a very laid back pup but has spent his first seven months as an outside dog. This week, he is getting a quick course in house manners and potty training, as well as learning to walk on a loose leash, come, down, sit, and stay. We are excited for him to get to show off his new skills to his family this coming weekend and help them make this sweet boy an indoor dog.
