On Command Dog Training

10/01/2025

What’s seen in this video is a calm, confident, patient dog, waiting for his next command. What’s not seen are the hours of work teaching Wes to sit, hold his sit, how long to hold his sit, and to hold his sit regardless of distractions.

Let’s talk training. We get so caught up teaching our dogs what we DON’T want them to do, we forget about teaching them what we DO want them to do. Remember to set your dogs up for success by making training super easy and rewarding and slowly (at their pace) increase the difficulty to perform and reward at each interval or escalation of increased difficulty. This sets a foundation for your dog to learn at a comfortable pace and teaches that performance has rewarding consequences. Being consistent here will yield quality results and keep your dog happy and wanting to perform and continue learning.

Look at Kash. He’s a German Shepherd puppy and just graduated our 6-Week Puppy Program. What I really really like about this photo is how it’s so genuine. Look how relaxed, calm, confident and obedient Kash looks (is) in the photo. The leash is nice and loose, owner looks confident holding the leash and Kash is as cool as a cucumber. This type of feel only happens with practice and consistency. Something Kash has had in spades. Anywho, congratulations to Kash and his family on successful training and graduation. See you soon for boarding, lil big fella.

A couple of graduates from last weekend. Wes and Mariya both completed our 6-Week In Kennel Training Program. The first couple of weeks were slow for Mariya but she picked up and ended up doing very well. Wes was a front-runner from day 1. His dad boarded with us for a few days a couple of months ago and enjoyed his daily boarding videos and how we not only kept families informed of their dog’s daily activity, we took great care of them as well. If you need boarding, training, private lessons or just want to consider options for the future, please keep us in mind. We’d love to help.

We’re not really sure why, but these two, Freya and Major, are still waiting to meet their new families. They’ve been training with us for 6 weeks and have learned so much. We’ve also learned a lot about them and their temperaments. They deserve a happy, loving home. These two will offer endless laughs, snuggles and entertainment for your family. If they aren’t adopted by Saturday (30 Aug), they’ll unfortunately have to return to their respective shelters at Harker Heights Pet Adoption Center and Voices for the Gatesville Animal Shelter Let’s see if we can help these trained, vetted, vaccinated and well socialized dogs find their furever home.

Freya (from Harker Heights Pet Adoption Center) and Major (from Voices for the Gatesville Animal Shelter) are still searching for their furever homes. These two have spent that past 5 weeks learning obedience, socialization, home manners and more. Their training would cost a client over $3,000. You can have a trained dog that comes with follow up private lessons and all you pay is their adoption fee. These dogs are vaccinated, vetted, trained, socialized, dog and people friendly and will make a great companion for most families. Call their respective shelters to schedule adoption or fostering or call us at
254–265-7400 if you’d like to meet them. They’ve got one more week of training but are ready to be adopted today! Check out a few clips of them working in public today.

How it started vs How it ended! Cooler weather this evening allowed for an evening walk.

A few graduates from class 05-25. We’ve got Koda, Chaos and Freya. They all were able to learn some basics like place, sit, down and leash manners. One of the most important things they got to do was learn to socialize with their friends and strangers. A lot of times we see dogs engaging in play and don’t realize how much communication is happening between them. Decoding that communication and ensuring a safe, enjoyable interaction is key to successful sessions. Book now for our class that starts in September and let’s get you and your pup’s graduation photo. 254-265-7400
