Sometimes we stay up past our bedtime watching Yellowstone. 🤫 Lincoln remained on place for an entire episode tonight!

Lincoln is working on his place command, which improves his impulse control by teaching him to stay on the cot until released. This creates a calm dog, boosting focus and fostering obedience. The place cot can be used as a management tool to reduce stress for the owner and the dog by giving the dog a designated area to settle instead of jumping on houseguests, running out the door, counter surfing, or getting into trouble around the house.

All of our board & trains learn the place command during their stay with us.

🥇Miss Feral Aura also earned herself a High In Class 1st Place in her first barn hunt trial with an impressive time of only 15 seconds to find her rat, climb, and tunnel! Wow!! I just love this crazy girl and I’m very proud of her. She went 2/2 Q’s and got 2nd place in her 2nd run. Thank you to NADM’s K-9 Performance Events and Judge Janna Heiligenstein.

🥇Imagine my surprise searching the ribbon table for flats and then finding that Snafu earned a 1st place High in Class! His first barn hunt trial he went 1/2 Q’s. I earned him the NQ by not handing the rat off horizontal, it was tipped vertically. He found his rat, climbed, and tunneled perfectly so it was definitely a learning experience for me and a mistake I will not make again. Thank you to NADM’s K-9 Performance Events and Judge Janna Heiligenstein.

This is how we walk off after a crazy man comes out yelling at us to “Train that out of control mother F #€¥{R!” with a leaf blower pointed at us! (Just look at how out of control he is.🙄) Daluca and his owner handled the interaction SO well and I am SO proud of them for their progress!

Daluca started lessons aggressive to people, dogs, cats, and other animals. I could not uncross my feet without Daluca charging at me from across the room, much less pet him, examine him, or touch his feet. Daluca will now approach to pet, isn’t fearful being approached, and will offer his paw on command. His owner has been able to complete a much needed nail trim on him! I love having helped Daluca learn to trust again and enjoy life.

We work with dogs of all temperaments in Johnson City, TN.

One of our students, Sadie, completed her first FastCAT fun run yesterday and we are so proud of her and look forward to seeing her compete next year! We also want to extend a huge thank you to her owner, Carissa, for releasing Snafu and Aura at the start gate!

🐇Want to learn about a fun, entry level sport to do with your dog? We are competing in FastCAT and CAT Saturday and Sunday mornings this weekend. The club is offering fun runs for dogs who have never done it. FastCAT is a timed 100 yard dash for dogs where their run is timed and converted to mph. CAT is a 600 yard lure course. Aura and Snafu LOVE both sports, so come out on to watch them run and give it a try!!

We are placing a Primo Pads order Sunday 11/3.

What is a Primo Pad? Primo Pads are 100% water proof, easy to clean, USA made comfort pads tough enough to withstand even the toughest dogs. They fit flush in the bottom of the kennel so no edges are exposed for chewing.

We use Primo Pads in our home and travel kennels and love the ease of sanitizing them between dogs! They are a clean, comfortable option for all types of kennels. They are available to fit kennels of all sizes and we can ship them to you.

Want in on the order? Send me a message including dimensions and color choice to place your order!

Cattle Dog mix, 🔥Zuko, enjoyed his first day of day training today! We took time to familiarize Zuko to our home and yard today, letting him settle in with easy training such as responding to his name and offering his focus. Additionally, we started his household manners with doorway manners to help him learn self control.

🐶 Day Training - Drop your dog off for some training and enrichment while you work! Your dog will go home tired and better trained!

Meet Lincoln, a handsome Mini Poodle mix! He’s here for a board & train, focusing on on and off-leash obedience. He turned 1 year while home for the weekend. Lincoln started out a bit nervous and shy, but he’s blossomed with confidence and truly enjoys his training sessions. So far, he’s mastered responding to his name, sitting on command, and waiting patiently at doorways. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things he’ll accomplish next!

Our board & train dogs get to go home on the weekends so you can love on them and practice their new skills before dropping them off for new behaviors on Monday.

💛Belle loves hanging out wherever the people are! During her board & train, she’s mastered responding to her name, focusing on her humans, sitting, waiting at doorways, coming when called, and leaving things on the ground. She’s also enjoying her break time in the kennel and making great strides with housebreaking as she was not crate trained or housebroken when she dropped off. As we enter the final weeks, we’re fine-tuning her obedience for dog-friendly outings with her family. We can’t get enough of this sweet girl!

We still have an opening for board & train in December!
