We took Tyson out to build some confidence today and it started to storm while we were at lunch. He did very well and even took treats from someone he’s never met.
Tyson is such a good dog and he’s loves to do things that make him feel like he’s constantly winning at life. Tyson is almost a year old and had little to no interaction with humans prior to shelter life. He’s been with us a few weeks and already opened up so much! I cannot believe he sat in a shelter for so long, he’s the perfect house dog.
Some of you that have seen my post may not be aware that part of my passion is not just training dogs for clients, but also training dogs that come directly from animal shelters. There is no better way for a trainer to grow in their profession than to work with different breeds and personalities/behavior issues that commonly accompany these dogs.
Not only is this an awesome way to clear up kennels in the shelter, but give dogs a better chance at living in a home with a family long term. I have partnered with a lady here in Florida that is funding this program with me and allowing me to go to the animal shelter every few weeks and save a dog.
 I currently have one available dog for adoption, and one up-and-coming dog. This girl was pulled from the shelter today. Obviously, she does have some medical issues from being neglected that she will have to recover from. Otherwise, she has an awesome personality and would make a really cool family dog. She’s only 18 pounds and about eight months of age. Once she’s a bit healthier, and has learned some basic manners and obedience, she will be available for adoption.
We have another dog on our list that we would love to get out of the shelter and into a family home. So if you are looking for a dog, friendly, cat, friendly, child, friendly, social, and playful dog, send us a message. All of our shelter dogs will go to their new homes with basic obedience, lash manners, and the ability to live indoors as a pet.
Welcome Zero to our BOK9 rescue program.
This little guy was pulled from Jax animal control today, thanks to his fees being sponsored, I’ll be able to foster him and train him for at least a few weeks before we find him a forever home.
If you’re interest in adopting this guy, stay tuned for updates!
As a dog train, I think my favorite thing about this job is working recall in new places.
We get to explore, allow the dogs to get environmental confidence, enrichment, and create the value in coming back when asked.
This is Georgia on a 50ft lead in a wide open field. She is very insecure at random times and tends to be a flight risk. She could be super happy and recall 100 percent of the time, and all of a sudden she can feel unsure and bolt. So it’s super important that we build her up and take it step by step to get the most out of her time with us.
We love an off leash trained dog around here!
Scout went home with better recall, better leash manners, and better off leash control. She’s a very independent girl, so building engagement took some problem solving, but we did it.
Puddle is looking for a sport home.
She would thrive in a home that has experience with poodles and would like to get her started in sports like detection or dock diving possibly.
Contact us today to see if you might be a good fit for her!
Isn’t it nice to be able to walk your dog on a loose leash? To have your dog stop when you stop and just wanting to engage with you? How about having a dog that can be taken off leash and still maintain all of these behaviors?
We love the mini educator e collar for an off leash “backup plan” once properly conditioned. Mia went home with great off leash recall, and overall 100%percent better on the leash and in the house.
