VetFest 2024 was a blast! We appreciate the folks at VetFest for inviting us over to conduct a K9 demo for the crowd! Yall know we can't pass up an opportunity to go show off the dogs, and speak with community about the amazing capabilities of these animals. Again, we appreciate the invite from VetFest and everyone that capitalized on the break in the weather to come watch!
Also shout out to our friends Carla Stroud Shackleford Velvet Tipton & Cameron Ball for showing up and showing out with their pooches. Yall killed it 🤟
A few clips of the bitey dogs from our training group yesterday. We love working with pet dogs, but spicey dogs are our passion 🌶😈
We don't own the music, so chill FB and don't yank it down.

💥When your shift starts at 6, but your B&T needs reps at 5🤙
As most of you know, both our trainers work full-time jobs, and work at a minimum 12 hour shifts. This often brings up the question with our clients, "the days your working what does my dog do while your gone?". A valid question, and one were proud to answer. Your dog gets to rest and relax! When your dog trains they are not only spending physical energy, but mental energy as well. Think of it like if you went to the gym and during a hard workout you had to solve math problems between all your sets.. your fatigue level would catch up quickly and cause you to need more rest. It's the same for your dog!
Both of our trainers pour a ton of time and energy into each dog they train. When your dog is with us for a B&T program they work their butt's off.. that means early mornings, late nights, and many sessions throughout the day (regardless of if we are working at our full time gigs). Your dog is happy to just relax until the next session and enjoy a small break in the action. Not to mention both of our trainers are fortunate enough to have wives who also become very invested in your dogs progression, and love to help out while we're away, even if it may just be something as simple as a walk or grooming.
Our trainers get tired, run on little sleep, and most times stretch themselves thinner than they care for... but its to ensure that our clients dogs are getting the most from our program as possible.
Below is Cody. His shift starts at 6pm, but his B&T needed more reps.. so what's the solution? Instead of sitting on the couch or taking an extra 30 minutes to nap he gets ready early to make Sit happen.
Your dog will tell on you if you don't put in the work. Get out there and train 🤟
You guys remember Charlie? Charlie is taking part in our 4 week B&T program learning to be the best companion for her owners. Charlie is learning alot of new things, including how to navigate the obstacle course! Physical and mental stimulation is important. Be like Charlie, challenge yourself and overcome any obstacle in your way 🤟
Some clips from B&T client Zero's first few sessions! Zero is progressing nicely, and is right on pace for where we want him. One of Zero's biggest issues was how badly he would pull on lead. With the introduction of a marker system to address both his good and bad behaviors, and adding in lead pressure to hold him accountable, Zero has really started putting the puzzle pieces together! Zero still has plenty of time left with us, and we look forward to seeing how much further we can take him!
Today is Ellie's pick up day! Here is a few clips from the last couple sessions. Ellie has progressed tremendously with our target goal which was on lead control, and has even progressed to starting on developing an off lead control foundation. We addressed all of the concerns with her impulse control in public environments, and it's safe to say she's ready to be a well behaved companion during any adventures she gets to go on with her owners. Great job Ellie, you crushed it!
💥Girls day with Luna & Ellie💥
Both of these lovely ladies were working hard in that mid-day heat! They both earned a little cool off break and are resting up for their evening sessions! They work their butt's off for Cody Rowe & then get spoiled by Nikki Rowe afterwards!
Both of these girls are learning fast, and we're already checking off some of the pain points experienced by their owners. Building better relationships between owners & dogs is what it's all about! 🤜🤛
Some Day 1 lunch & evening sessions action with Ellie! She's picking everything up quickly, and doing awesome!
Frannie has been crushing it with her public sessions! This little fireball has been putting in alot of work with her momma on their own time, and it definitely shows when they come to class! We're super proud of both you guys and the things your achieving as a team!
Frannie, despite being all of 10lbs, was giving off big dog energy today! Frannie is participating in our CGC prep package which consists of 6 training sessions designed to get you squared away for the Canine Good Citizen evaluation.

Everyone meet Maggie! Maggie is taking advantage of our individual training sessions, and is learning so fast! A little back story on Maggie, she came to us with pretty serious fear based reactivity. Maggie refused to be separated from her owners, and would actively start a fight to avoid interference from anyone that got between them. The beginning stages with Maggie required a little finesse, but Luke was able to navigate the situation appropriately. Now that same dog that would refuse rewards and actively try to bite luke is happily engaging with him. We're super proud of Maggie for all her hard work, and look forward to helping her progress even further!
Luke & Cooper have been working hard! We look forward to letting Cooper show off for his family at his pick up session soon!
