A little proofing for Rio at Crocker Park this week. 🛍️ Rio is back for a boarding stay over the holiday with some touch up training, so the busy pre-Christmas shopping crowd was a perfect opportunity to practice some stability work for this busy, busy boy! Bᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ Dᴏɢs Sᴛᴀʀᴛ Hᴇʀᴇ. 🐾 330-975-0752

Does your dog like to hike with you? 🍁🪵 Drop your favorite dog-friendly trails in the comments! Being a respectful hiker where dogs are allowed off-leash means having your dog wait before going around blind corners and leashing your dog when someone is approaching. If your dog is not off-leash reliable, a properly utilized long line or flexi lead (gasp!!) is a great alternative! 🌲🌳 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘨 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴? 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘶𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦!

This might look like another boring video of a dog doing a down-stay in a pet store, and it kind of is. But for Maverick, this is such a huge accomplishment. 🏅 When we first met Maverick he was anxious, fearful, and would readily react out of fear and frustration towards both his handler and things in his environment that scared him. He is at the end of his board & train with us and has grown into a pup that is trying really hard to be brave and make good decisions. This video is such a good example of that. He is not as relaxed as he could be (that isn’t a happy tail for 90% of this down stay - can you spot the difference?), but he is working hard to ignore the people 🧍‍♂️ and dogs 🐕 in the background as well as the associates pushing a stock cart 🛒 around. He isn’t vocalizing (Maverick liked to yodel and squeal in his stays at first - it was HARD to be still), he is working without needing correction, and is happily taking food for his efforts. 🍪 Although he still has plenty of maturing and growing to do with his family, he is ready to start to tackle the world 🌍 one obedience session at a time.

What better way to celebrate a birthday than to pull with some of your favorite furry friends? Weight pull can be a “serious” sport, but it’s always important to take some time to be a little silly and just enjoy your dog!

Uecker, Moose, and Cain are just here for a quick boarding stay, but we can’t pass up the opportunity to practice some off leash pack walking! Their family is super dedicated to maintaining their dogs’ training, and because of it, the dogs get to enjoy a life full of freedom 🥰 Bᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ Dᴏɢs Sᴛᴀʀᴛ Hᴇʀᴇ.

𝕎𝕖𝕝𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕖, 𝕊𝕒𝕞𝕞𝕪❕ Sammy is a reactive, easily over stimulated, little guy that is here to get a much better handle on his reactivity and to help him feel more comfortable and confident out in the world. Often, when we get dogs in like Sammy, we spend the first day or two of their programs taking long line decompression walks to allow them to better settle into our routine and set them up for success in their program!

Check out Maia 𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 a little “place anywhere” challenge back at home. Before training, mom was terrified to drop the leash outside of the house! We love seeing our alumni dogs blossoming back with their families after training - it’s why we do what we do! Bᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ Dᴏɢs Sᴛᴀʀᴛ Hᴇʀᴇ. 🐾

Look at this little peanut 🥜 Luna is learning the ropes of loose leash walking as part of her Perfect Puppy program. This bouncy little girl is so fun to work with - we love watching her grow! Bᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ Dᴏɢs Sᴛᴀʀᴛ Hᴇʀᴇ.
