Ruthie visited barnesandnoble and shortpumpmall yesterday to practice her elevator etiquette! She was a model 4-legged citizen as we strolled around the mall, found new surfaces to build confidence on, and even showed off her new found neutrality around dogs when an angry Frenchie went off at her! Soooo so proud of her progress! Good girl, Ruthie!

Buoy is a young reactive shepherd who, left to his own devices, will try to take matters into his own paws. Through obedience, we’re able to better communicate with him and are able to give him a more appropriate job to do in those amped up times! Good job, Buoy! 🛟

Welcome back, Chance! This handsome bernedoodle is back for round 2 of training! He was with us a few months ago for just prong collar and on-leash work, and now he’s back for his Ecollar conditioning (with a couple new bad habits for us to combat)! Welcome, cutie!

Little man Jupiter has made a ton of progress with his duration on place and how he handles distractions around him! So proud!

Sweet boy Roman went home today! Being only half a year old, this boy is going to grow to be a biggun! He put on a great performance working as a calm pup😊. His family was sure pleased when they witnessed his transformation from a jumping, excited puppy to a pup who now knows how to shut it all down.

Sweet guy Dexter has found his working level to be 3/100! Goooooo Dexter!

Meet Ronan! This handsome GSD arrived today to work on some serious, territorial resource guarding. He's come to the right place to teach him to focus on his owners and their direction, instead of Ronan taking on a protective role.

Roman took a field trip to and was a perfect gentleman! He heeled nicely past other people and dogs, sat politely for a treat from the cashier, and was happy to pose for some pics! (Well, he tolerated it. Haha) So proud of this boy! His family is uber excited to pick him up tomorrow! We know he’s destined for continued success at home!

Otis heads home today and we’re super proud of his progress! We’re sure gonna miss this big lug!

Storm’s new favorite activity is definitely playing with the flirt pole! With her herding instincts, high prey drive, and insane amount of puppy energy, she can often act out at home simply because she’s bursting at the seams desperate for a job to do! This is the perfect way to help her expend some of that excess energy, give her an outlet for her natural instincts, and help her be able to focus better once we get down to the nitty gritty obedience training! So proud of this girl!

Otis was reeeeeeallll skeptical of this guy in downtown Ashland 🤣

Ruthie and Rookie both took their first outings to Pine Fork Park today! Ruthie was so eager to climb over new surfaces and Rookie was just happy to be somewhere new! We hope to get these two on another field trip soon!

Roman was so excited to hit the fields today! We practiced his heeling and recalls - which can be tough for a young pup like Roman since they’re experiencing a lot of new things that tend to be WAAAYYYY cooler than boring ol’ Trainer Ashley. But he did his best and was rewarded for his efforts! We’re proud of you, Roman! ❤️ . . . . . #roman #weimaraner #handsome #romanempire #breakthroughk9training #btk9 #richmondvirginia #dogtraining

Jupiter would MUCH rather be off leash all the time and now he’s able to do a lot more of that as he’s learning how to respond to his new Ecollar! Go, Jupi, go! . . . . . #jupiter #spaceprince #breakthroughk9training #btk9 #richmondvirginia #dogtraining

Otis’s first field trip was a good level of dog distraction to start with! The dog park was packed this day, so we created distance where Otis was still quite aware of what was happening in the distance, but was able to maintain a good level of focus with Trainer Ashley! SO proud of this big lug. 😍 . . . . . #otis #polegreenpark #pitty #handsome #breakthroughk9training #btk9 #richmondvirginia #dogtraining
