Praise report from Gingers family.“Good evening. I wanted to give you a praise report on how good Ginger did today. We went on our walk, practiced the door thing, kept a steady walk until the potty grass, practiced sitting and waiting at street crossings, passed the scary barking dog house, gave lots of treats for that, then practiced the door thing walking back in the house. She did really good. Better than me, but I’m learning. A little bit later, we went to the mall. She walked around really good and didn’t pull, dart or get distracted. She would sit when I asked her to, so we could shop. I kept my treat bag on throughout the day. So we were vibing. People were surprised she was only 8 months old. I was very proud. It was a great day. And this day wouldn’t have happened without your help. So thank you so much!”
Little Ginger can be a bit overwhelmed by new environments. I’m so proud of her for being brave and forward at Fiesta Island this morning. Back at the house she is diligently working on no darting out of doors and gates. Good girl Ginger.
Early morning training with sweet Ginger at the park. We worked on loose leash walking with a cue of “ let’s go”. Stopping when I stop with a cue of “ wait”. And a “sit, stay”. I was super proud of her for staying committed with the passer by. Good gob Ginger!! #boardandtrain

Yes Lollie Yes!! I’ve been conditioning a sharp response the urge cue “here”. Here is the term I use when asking a dog to come when called. Look how sharp her response is!! Good girl 👏
What a great group I’m spending my 4th with. In order of appearance, Korra stays close to me while she finds her footing during group socialization time. Lollie has a bit more confidence becoming friends with the smaller dogs and is still finding her footing with dogs her own size. Millie is all about trying me to take her somewhere. She’s an og around here. Luke the dachshund is a frequent flyer here and become fast friends with everyone he meets. His brother Ruben is also here, but Roo does not prefer the company of a large group of dogs. Manny the phantom mini poodle thinks Luke is the best friend ever! Riley this all dogs are her most bestest friends. Everyone here went what’s your name Ryley through the fireworks calm and quiet last night as expected. I imagine this evening will be just as easy-going.
Lollie is moving along with her place and manners training. I’ll let that simmer while I start the foundation of her off leash recall. The recall cue is “ here”. I use here rather than come because “ come is used far to often on conversational vocabulary with the dog. For example “ come on get in the car , come on let’s have dinner, come on we’re going outside, come on get in your crate, come on, come on, come on” it deludes the sanctity and purity of the cue. Where is here as in come here is not used conversationally with the dog nearly as often so the word the cue is protected and preserved for the recall.
Buddy boy is a Schnoodle who is with a rescue. He’s staying here for care and training while we work together to help this boy take his next steps 🥰

Teddy the bulldog Is so solid on his place command. He goes home tomorrow from his Board-N-Train. We also learned to come when called, load in and out of a car, potty training, not jumping on people and being an all-around good boy 🥰#boardandtrain #bulldoglove #dogtrainingtips #bluefawn
Such a peaceful little pal. -Charlie #yorkiesofinstagram
Look Last week with client dog Oaks, I worked on establishing and holding eye contact. We practiced this while in motion past other dogs as well. In a high drive sport dog environment Oaks becomes overwhelmed and distracted from the other dogs who are off the hook. By simply refocusing and grounding him we start to shift the inside of the dogs emotional state of the dog. Get the inside of the dog and the outside will follow. Let me hear you if you agree!! #relationshipbasedtraining #boardandtrain #dogtraining #caninebehaviorspecialist #standardpoodle #partipoodle #poodletraining #look
Teddy the bulldog is sleep on the job during training at the park today. The struggle is real keeping this one awake 🤣
Mars the Cane Corso was here a few months ago for a board and train. He’s back this week for boarding. I’m so pleased at how much he matured from his time here training 💚 #canecorsolovers
