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! 🐾

🐾 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!

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!

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!

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!

Ripken the Hound Pittie Mix is back for a 1 week refresher with us! Some of leash reactivity has resurfaced so we’ll be reminding him of his role as follower along with tuning up all of his obedience!

Callie the 6 month old Golden pup graduated! This girl is literally as sweet as they come but was overly submissive and unsure of the world 🌎 when she arrived for training. We taught her the language of the ecollar which gave us a way to communicate to her and show her that she can trust her humans to guide and keep her safe. We used her new obedience to take her out in public and WOW what a boost in confidence she had - this girl ended up loving being out and about with us! 💛

Now she’s up to speed with her big brother and prior graduate Maverick! Have fun and be good guys!

Apparently I forgot to post all of the graduation pics from last week 🙈, sorry!!

Olive the 6 month old mixed breed graduated! She came in wild 😜 and marching to the beat of her own drum and 3 weeks later left the same silly girl but with the skills to listen and calm down when needed. Now that both she and big sis Perdie are on the same page with their training, their owners will be able to guide the pair to make good choices and be the best pups they can be!

Happy Graduation 🎓 Day to Kodak the Goldendoodle! This bouncy guy came to us at just over 6 months old for a foundation of manners and obedience that will help him mature into a balanced and well behaved member of the family. Be good big guy! 🤎

Welcome Skye the Goldendoodle girl who will turn 1 🥳 with us in a few days! She’s here for typical adolescent dog stuff; she barks (a lot), she has selective listening, she doesn’t know a ton of commands yet, she gets overexcited and jumps up when greeting people, she pulls on the leash, she eats anything she can get her mouth on to the point her owners had tried a basket muzzle. She’s a lovely dog that her owners want to be able to include in all of the family fun but her current behavior makes that difficult. She’s going to be a new and improved girl in just a few weeks, stay tuned!

Welcome Jax the 1 year old Pittie to our 4 week training program! He’s the second pittie ❤️ we’ve trained for the family. This handsome dude is THE sweetest 🥧 boy BUT he has some anxiety that is making life stressful for him and his people. He doesn’t like the crate, he’ll whine, scream, pant heavily and has broken out before. He’s also not a big fan of the car, lots of heavy panting/whining. Another area they’re hoping to improve is his overexcitement with people; he jumps up and often almost knocks people over due to his strength and exuberance. He also is mouthy and will nip at hands and clothes when he’s overstimulated. On the leash he actually doesn’t pull too terribly but he will walk underfoot and wants to stop to mark constantly. He’s a very sweet boy that will be even sweeter once he’s in a healthier headspace and has some manners to match those good looks- stay tuned! PS We trained his housemate Stella, she’ll be making an appearance towards the end of his stay!

Welcome Whimsey the 6 month old Husky mix to training! She’s here for all things manners and for the reliability that will come with ecollar training! Her owner wants to set her up for success and give her all the skills needed to become an “everywhere dog”. She came to the right place, let’s get started!
