Nerdy Dog Training

07/09/2025

Not sure if your dog is ready for group classes? Training out of the budget, but you still want your dog to learn some stuff? Just want more opportunities to get out of the house and spend time with other dog lovers?

Starting next Tuesday at 6:00pm we will be having a FREE weekly get together where for 45mins we will work solely on letting dogs learn and get used to being in a new environment and settling around other dogs and people.

This is the perfect opportunity to bring a book and do some reading, work on that crochet or knitting project you’ve been putting off, bring a pair of headphones can catch up on an episode of your favorite show, of if you’re into it, talk to the other people around you 😉. If the dogs are relaxed enough I may be able to answer some questions on dog training as well!

Please sign up here as space is limited, but the class is free!

When I picked August up on Tuesday, he couldn’t have cared less about my existence. He dragged me around on leash, had no interest in toys or food, and was solely focused on marking everything in sight. Tonight? In a totally new section of our yard—with fireworks going off nearby no less—he chose to engage with me, was a very enthusiastic training partner, was a gentleman on leash, and wasn’t obsess over marking all the new exciting smells. I am very pleased with his quick progress, and I can’t wait to see where he’ll be by the end of his program!

Ellie just graduated from our Basic Manners class this week!!

Meet Ellie!

With a nickname like "cattle dork," you KNOW this girl is full of s***k! She is exactly what you would expect out of a ACD x Hound mix, full of life and goofiness!

Ellie would love a home where she has a yard to run and play fetch in, goes on long walks (she is FANTASTIC on a leash!), and gets LOTS of cuddles (this girl seriously gives the best snuggles). She loves to work for food and learn new skills through training.

Hope you have a good throwing arm because this girl will put it to work!

If you would like to add Ellie to your family please complete our online adoption application: https://www.homewardboundwaggininc.org/adoption-application
