Casual reminder to GO PLAY WITH YOUR DOG(s)! Even if the neighbors look at you a little funny. 🤣Daisy the young GSD is here for a 4wk board and train to help build up her confidence and learn some on and off leash obedience skills. Play is one of the best ways to build confidence and relationship with a dog. It’s day 3 of her being with me and we now have a game with food, toys, and personal play. Loving this lop-eared puppy!

-Puppy Socialization Class-

Registration
https://www.cognitoforms.com/NerdyDogTraining1/ClassRegistrationForm

Who is is for?
Puppies under 5 months

What is it?
Puppy Socialization Class is the perfect opportunity to build a confident puppy and learn what to do during the crucial Socialization Period. In this class we will focus on teaching you how to properly socialize your dog and give them opportunities for fun socializing in a fun, safe, clean environment. Teaching puppies about the world and how to live in it is one of, if not the, most important things we can do while our dogs our young. Old dogs CAN learn new tricks and therefore can learn obedience skills at any age, but socializing gets a lot harder the older they get.

This class can be taken on its own or combined with Puppy Raising for the most well rounded learning experience!

So happy to be apart of the team that helped this boy on his journey. Mr. Rocky has a very big fan club cheering him on in his new life! ❤️

OH HAPPY DAY!!!! 1,068 days!!! Sadly, that is how long Rocky spent in the shelter. He came to us Nov 1, 2021, after adoptions across the country ceased as a result of all of the backyard breeding that took off late 2020. Caught in the system due to no fault of his own he would have most likely been euthanized if not for being a no kill shelter purely due to time. Rocky has definitely been a volunteer favorite. This guy is the funniest, most loving couch potato a person could ever want. He had the opportunity to go on many adventures over those 1,068 days with many volunteers. He was the star pupil at the Shelter Dog Training classes! Rocky will truly be missed by all of us with Homeward Bound Waggin but to finally see him have a home of his own just makes our hearts swell with joy!!!! Happy Tails Rocky!!! Here is to making memories with your very own family!!!
