Sometimes training is just having fun and playing with your dog while mentally challenging them at the same time.
It helps build engagement and better understanding on how to communicate with each other.
This in the long run builds a strong and reliable relationship between you and your pup.

Foster dog Dawn is still in need of her forever home and has been here now for a couple of months.
Dawn has had her vaccines updated and she has been spayed under my care. She has been working on leash manners, e collar work, along with her foundation obedience as well.
Although Dawn came to us very unsure of strangers sheās warmed up quickly to myself, my partner, and all of my handlers/assistants and their kids too! She needs a person or family who will be patient and provide her the time she deserves to get acclimated with her new people and home.
Dawn loves to play with toys. Sheās an active dog who would enjoy daily walks and outings like jogging and hiking. She loves car rides and is curious about the world. She doesnāt seem to be picky at all when it comes to food and sheāll eat just about anything that you give her. Sheās been seen recently by a veterinarian and has received a clean bill of health.
This girl definitely has hops so sheād do best in a home with a tall fence or a wireless fence set up. She could also potentially be an amazing apartment dog for the right active individual who provides for her mental and physical outlet needs daily. Dawn isnāt a type of dog that likes to be left out in a backyard for long periods of time and would prefer to be with her people or kenneled when not supervised.
Dawn does well around non timid cats who arenāt flighty (sheās extremely good with my cats as they are dog socialized) and sheās been good around my well socialized dogs and bootcampers. Itās important for her to have good boundaries and structure in her new home to set her up for success.
Sheās around the age of two and is a 40lb Heinz husky mix. I have no clue what she might be mixed with but I would be extremely curious to see DNA results if anyone ever checks!
Sheās been on adventures to local parks, hikes, Grange, Diamond, and Home Depot many times since sheās been under my care.
Her adoption fee has dropped to
Tezza has been a fun dog to work with since his arrival.
He is a one year old standard poodle looking for a performance/sport home. Heās smart as hell, athletic, drivey, food motivated, and would be a great investment for someone interested in doing UKC/AKC events. He has a TON of potential and is doing fantastic during his board and train time. Heās out going and sociable with adults and children along with other dogs. I absolutely love his temperament.
Please contact Mount Mazama Kennels directly for more information about this boy
