Country Life K9 Training Offering on & off leash obedience training/manners for the family dog!

03/05/2025

Meet Barley & Lacey both joining us for 3 weeks of training!

🧡Barley is a 6 month old mixed breed. He’s an outgoing and friendly guy who needs help learning his manners and how to respect personal space. He’s jumpy and mouthy when excited and has a hard time settling during downtime. He is also very foody and will beg/pester if food is present. His owners want to be able to give him off leash freedom but haven’t been able to yet because of his unreliable listening.

💖Lacey is a 6 month old Boxer here for obedience and manners. She too has a hard time respecting her human’s or dog housemate’s space and will jump on and bite clothing for attention. She doesn’t walk well on a leash and can be timid in new situations. We’ll be helping her to gain a solid foundation of obedience on and off leash as well as build her confidence! Stay tuned for updates on both!

Welcome Rocko, Benelli & Charlie the first 3 of the March session dogs to arrive! Read below to learn a little about them and why they’re here for training.

💛 Rocko the Golden Retriever is 8 months old and here for all things obedience and manners. He jumps all over people, can be rough with the kids, counter surfs, bites and pulls on the leash and is allllll puppy!
🧡Benelli the 8 month old Vizsla is here for all of the same reasons as Rocko! She’s your typical goofy young lady and though her owner has done a great job teaching her the basics, all bets are off if she’s distracted or off leash. Her owner is excited with the reliability and peace of mind that will come with ecollar training.
🤍Charlie the Lab is 18 months old and large and in charge! This gal is strong 💪 and absolutely drags you on the leash. She did a lot of barking at us from inside the car and she’s at the age that reactivity tends to become more of an issue. She counter surfs, barks out windows at home and generally doesn’t listen if she doesn’t feel like it 🤪. She also is nervous and barky at the vet so along with getting a handle on her behavior and helping her channel her inner calm, we’ll be working to build her confidence and neutrality in public and around strangers.

Stay tuned to keep up to date with this gang’s progress and to meet the 2 remaining dogs coming for this session tomorrow!

We’re in between training sessions so it was a nice lazy day of soaking up the sun with boarders. New dogs arrive Monday!

Having a great weekend over here! Hooray for the ☀️!

Just because it’s a snow day doesn’t mean we aren’t training! Everyone had a good romp in the snow and then we worked on some duration place. It’s generally hard enough for these guys to sit still by themselves, but to do it with their friends AFTER they were just playing and running in the yard is an added level of difficulty! The real work of patterning on “off switch” is practicing ✨calm✨ when they would rather be wild 🤪!

Welcome to our 2 newest arrivals, both Retrievers under a year old! 💛💛 Read a little about them below! ⬇️

Gunner the Lab: He will celebrate his first birthday 🥳while he’s here with us at training! He’s a friendly guy but his exuberance can be challenging! He pulls on the leash, wants to say hi to everyone he sees and then proceeds to jump all over them. He counter surfs and will grab things from around the house and play catch me if you can. He has been off leash but his recall isn’t reliable. His family frequently camps 🏕️ and takes him with him so they’re excited for him to learn manners and how to listen more reliably!

Tucker the Golden: This sweetie is 6 months old and has been signed up for training since before his owner even brought him home from the breeder! He’s your typical happy go lucky Golden guy but he jumps, pulls and also doesn’t come reliably. His owner is really looking forward to a reliable tecall and him having the skills to accompany her all kinds of fun places in public. His owner is also in the process of moving so he will be going home to his new home with a brand new set of manners! Stay tuned for both of their training journeys!

🐾Winnie the Aussie graduated after nearly 6 weeks with us (4 weeks of training and almost 2 weeks of boarding)! She’s a city 🏙️ girl and her owners were struggling with escalating issues with reactivity on the walk, constantly eating things off the ground and a classic case of selective listening which given their busy environment was causing problems. During her time with us she learned the language of the ecollar which gives her owners a reliable way to communicate to her both on and off leash. She’s also learned how to be a follower on the walk, trust her humans to keep her safe and how to be passive towards things they encounter. Today we met her owners at the park to put it all to practice in real life and wow, they did amazing! 🤩 Be good Miss Winn, we’ll miss you! 🐾

Another weekend with a great group of pups!

🐾Skye the Goldendoodle graduated just in time to be home for the holidays! 🏠🎄Her personality makes her the ✨ perfect ✨ family dog type and after spending a few weeks with us for fine tuning, she’s going to be the gift 🎁 that keeps on giving!

She learned the skills to relax and behave during down time around the house as well as how to calmly and confidently accompany her humans out and about in the world 🌎. Despite chilly 🥶 morning temps, her owners arrived eager to learn how to use the training tools and did a fantastic job putting them to use. Be good girly, we’ll miss you! 🐾

Have a great weekend! ❤️💚🐾

🐾 The sweet and adorable Miss Whimsey graduated today after 3 weeks of training! 🥳🎓 A big goal for her owners was to be able to take her everywhere with them and now she has the skills to be able to do just that!

We spent their lesson going over strategies to keep her successful, how to apply the training in the real world and plenty of practice working with her hands on. Her husky-tude 😂😅came out in the beginning and she did quite a bit of testing before giving in to the fact that mom and dad are up to speed with her new rules and how to use the training tools.

I was SO proud of them for working through some tough moments and sticking with it, and she quickly came around and showed them how awesome she can be! 👏 🤍🩷 Keep up the good work guys and have fun together, I know you will! 🐾

Interior work with Winnie: place command with door knocking, down stay and using “let’s go” to move her around the house. Most of the “issues” her owners had with her were outside and on the walk but providing her with daily structure inside will directly influence her behavior outside where the stakes are higher!

12/11/2024

Interior work with Whimsey! Working more on her down stay and place command and adding in some simple distractions to “proof” her stay. Nice work!

12/11/2024

Working around the house with Jax: the place command with door knocking, down stay and using “let’s go” to move him around the house. Also working on regulating his abundance of energy to teach him that we want him more chill when we’re inside the house 🕊️. Good boy big man!

12/11/2024

Working around the house with Skye: place command with door knocking, down stay and using “let’s go” to move her around. She’s coming along nicely!
