Yesterday Murphy wanted to remind everyone that it’s STILL SUMMER! Come out and enjoy the splash pad before the water season is over! 💦 🐶
Old man Atticus always has a pep in his step! 💙
We love our happy seniors!
What our awesome clients think I’m doing while out on field trips with their pups, vs what we’re really doing 🤣
Training dog Bella getting in some good Place practice this morning in the lobby with lots of new distractions!
Training dog Bella grew leaps and bounds today 🥳🐾
Bella came to us to get help with dog reactivity and some aggressive tendencies.
She is a sweetheart and does great with her doggy sibling at home, but unfamiliar dogs can be another story.
Lots of dog exposure will help Bella learn to be confident in her own skin around other dogs. We keep a muzzle on to keep everyone safe and allow Bella to get the hang of things and intervening when necessary.
Great job Bella!!
Door manners with a group full of puppies! (And Kobe, who is an adult with puppy energy 🤣) all dogs in our training programs learn door manners right away.
Door manners = sit when we get to the door, and do not cross the threshold of the door until the human says so.
Door manners teach dogs so much!
-impulse control
-regulating energy
-open doors don’t mean “let’s bolt!”
Etc.
With new dogs coming in and out of our training programs every week, often times the dogs who have been here longer help teach the new ones what to do. I step in and give guidance where it’s needed 😎😁
Oh Cash…such a happy goof 🤪❤️
Awww fritz, it’s hard to be a puppy!
Playing and training allll day long, no fair 😝🤣
Training pups getting their early morning slow treadmill walks today! 🐕
These treadmill sessions every morning aren’t necessarily meant to tire your dog out physically, but more to slow down their minds, gain some focus and prepare for their training sessions that follow!
Training puppy Scout focusing on learning leash manners this morning!
Leash manners = no pulling which is obviously important, but more importantly; leash manners = FOLLOW ME!
Teaching a puppy to follow rather than lead situations will benefit you in almost all aspects of owning a dog, and it starts with the leash 🦮
Training dog Kobe practicing his Place command up in the lobby this morning.
Kobe came to training because he struggles when his owners have guests in the house.
Place up in the lobby helps Kobe get used to seeing unfamiliar people come in and out, and is a great way to teach him that he CAN remain neutral all while still feeling safe and comfortable.
Good job bud!
Mr. Dill is a confident little pup keeping up on his social skills with weekly daycare visits! 💚
Training puppies has it’s pros and cons, but puppy Fritz makes this look easy!
Don’t wait until issues arise to start training your puppy; basic foundational skills and impulse control can and should be introduced right away! Starting age appropriate training with young puppies can help to avoid unwanted behaviors later down the road - work smarter, not harder 😎🐾
We cater to your pets individual needs…no joke! ☺️
Thor does not prefer other dogs so he gets alone playtime with staff when here for daycare. Thor’s mom let us know he LOVES to destroy boxes and she often has him do it at home to help break down recycling 🤣
Sooo…we always save boxes for Thor to break down for us! Such a good helper! ❤️
Paws are crossed so I know you mean business, Jack!!
Mister Kobe, the king of the grass yard!
A successful training session is always followed by zoomies in the yard 🎉
Some more place work with Rowdy for a bit during play groups this afternoon!
