💪 Teamwork for William’s Well-Being

Early diagnosis gave our William the chance to start treatment before discomfort could take over. He was diagnosed with unilateral hip and elbow dysplasia, and together with the rehab team at Foster Animal Hospital, we’re doing everything possible to slow the progression and keep him active and pain-free.

William underwent shockwave therapy — a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing deep within the tissues.
Here’s how it helps:
🔹 Reduces pain and inflammation
🔹 Improves blood circulation and mobility
🔹 Speeds up the healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments
🔹 Supports long-term joint health and comfort

Each session is a step toward better movement and more happy moments for this sweet boy.

Good morning, and happy training day! ☀️

Meet Finn the Golden Retriever, a wonderful boy focused on leveling up his essential life skills!

Finn's humans are dedicated to helping him become more comfortable and confident in the world. Our main training goals are:

✨️ Building a Calm & Confident Dog ✨️

❇️ Boosting Confidence: Working on building his self-assurance so he can approach new sights and sounds with less worry.

❇️ Alone Time Skills: Since Finn isn't comfortable with being left alone, we'll be introducing the concept of solitude slowly and positively. The goal is to build his ability to truly relax when his people step away.

❇️ Teaching Relaxation: Currently, Finn has trouble settling down. We are actively teaching him to settle and relax his body and mind, giving him the valuable skill of "off-duty" time.

✨️ Polishing Foundations ✨️

❇️ Polite Leash Manners: Transforming walks from a chore to a calm, enjoyable experience by practicing a nice, slack leash.

❇️ Obedience Polish: Sharpening his existing obedience skills for reliable communication in any situation.

We are excited to be part of Finn's journey and can’t wait to share his progress! 🐶✨

🎓 Confidence Looks Good on You, Jax!

When Jax first began his journey, the world felt like a big, unpredictable place. Loud sounds, new people, busy environments — they could all feel a little too much for this gentle giant. But what a journey it has been since then!🤩

With patience, consistency, and understanding, Jax learned that the world isn’t so scary after all — it’s full of fun experiences and people who cheer him on.🥳

From calmly walking through busy shops, to relaxing confidently in challenging environments, to mastering his leash work in public — Jax proved that courage grows quietly, one positive experience at a time.😊

We’re incredibly proud of this boy for learning how to regulate his emotions, trust the process, and simply enjoy life. Whether exploring outdoors, focusing on his sniff mat, or bravely tackling confidence-building workouts that teach him to trust himself — every step showed his growing self-assurance.💪

A big thank you to Foster Animal Hospital for letting us practice at their facility and help make future vet visits less stressful for our clients' dogs! 😊

Huge congratulations to Jax and his amazing family for their sustained belief and support, which continues to help him grow and thrive as a happy and well-adjusted dog. 💙

Finn the Wheaten Terrier is working on becoming a well-mannered gentleman!🤩👌

​This handsome boy is diving into his training with focus and energy.
We're working on key skills like leash manners and recall, so he can be a great companion on all his adventures.👍
​But we’re also focusing on something even more important: impulse control.🔥 This training helps Finn learn to manage his excitement, which makes him a joy to be around for everyone—from the little ones in the family to his owners and guests.☺️

​It’s all about helping Finn be a confident and reliable companion, no matter where he goes!✨️

We're so proud of the progress Charlotte, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, has made! 💞
We began working with her at just 5 months old to lay a strong foundation, and it's already paying off beautifully.

​By starting her training early, we were able to build great habits from day one. This proactive approach meant Charlotte never developed a habit of pulling on the leash. At 7 months old, she walks with perfect leash manners and is incredibly attentive to her handler.🤩👌

​Charlotte's journey shows the amazing benefits of early, consistent training. Her recall is sharp, and she's already rocking her place command. It's a joy to work with a dog who is so eager to learn and thrive.🥰

✨️ Meet Jax, the stunning Great Dane! ✨️

This handsome boy has a big heart, but the world can be a bit overwhelming for him right now. We're starting our journey together to help him build confidence and learn that new experiences can be a lot of fun.💞

Jax is still learning about the world, and because of that, he can be a little timid and reactive when he encounters new sights, sounds, or people. We'll be working at his pace to create a safe and supportive environment where he can feel brave. Our main goals are to help him build confidence and adjust his responses in new situations.

Our training plan includes:
🐾 Leash Manners: Helping Jax feel secure and comfortable on walks.
🐾 Confidence Building: Gently introducing him to new things to show him the world is interesting.
🐾 Excitement Regulation: Teaching him how to manage his emotions in new or stimulating situations.
🐾 Recall & Place: Establishing reliable commands to give him a sense of security and structure.

We're so excited to see Jax blossom into the confident, happy dog we know he can be. Follow along with his progress as we celebrate every small victory!🎉
