I'm very late posting this, but congrats to Annie on graduating the Basic Obedience Course. This is her second diploma, as she graduated from the puppy course back in January. Hoping to see her back in a few months for her Advanced "degree."

on Scarlett who graduated from the puppy course in February.

"Scarlett is starting to become a really nice dog, but still has her moments. As you identified, she knows what she is supposed to do in response to commands but she doesn't always want to do it when she's outside the house."-Scarlett's Mom

Scarlett knows the commands, but still working on finding the right motivation for her stubborn moments! We will hopefully be back together soon for the adult course ❤️

to puppy course graduate Annie!

Her mom said she is doing great with lay (down?, sit, and place, but is still working on holding the commands longer. She will soon be joining me for the adult Obedience Course to work on building on these skills and learning new ones. I'm so excited to work with her again!

Do you want to take your dog out in the world, but it's too difficult to be enjoyed?

You would like to walk, but they pull?

You would like to shop, but they bark?

You would like to swim, but they will run off?

You would like sit on a patio, but they jump on everyone?

If the desire is there, we can make it happen! I have openings for 4 week courses in obedience, puppy training, advanced obedience, or behavior training beginning May 7th at 4pm and 5:30pm. Call, message, or email for more info!

Leave it is one of the most important commands your dog can learn. It can save their life! Puppies (and older dogs) are great at finding things like chicken wings, animal poo, and socks that can be really harmful if eaten.

Playing the leave it game is a fun way to teach an important real world skill!

I love off-site lessons! They are such a fun challenge. So many more distractions than practicing in your living room. We start by learning in the area they are most familiar with. Then the last 2 lessons we go to locations of your choosing, so that the skills are usable in the real world!
