One of our very own is in the top five in the pet of the month contest! I would really appreciate anyone who can going to Center Animal Clinic page and voting for Echo! His mom has put in a lot of good work to help Echo be the best boy.

My job is about helping owners feel prepared for life with their dogs and helping their dogs understand what they can expect from their owners. Echo has been in my day training program with a goal of being able to take walks with his mom without her worrying about him reacting to other dogs. He has made amazing progress over the month that he has been working with me and I’m happy that his mom has gotten to see his progress in real life. If you want to be able to enjoy walks with your dog like Echo’s mom you can sign up for our day training program here https://www.flyhighdogtraining.com/daytraining

Today is National Love Your Pet Day! What do you love most about your pet?

Yesterday I had the opportunity to share how I train with the networking group I am a part of. It is always great to share the power of good training with others.

Dog trainers love positive reinforcement too! We would love it if you could share your experience with other potential clients by leaving us a review on social media or Google.

Is your dog a play out in the snow kind of dog or a stay inside and cuddle kind of dog?

As 2023 comes to a close I am looking back on all the dogs and people I have worked with this year. I feel extremely grateful for all the clients I have and all the people that have trusted me with the care and training of their beloved pets. I am looking forward to all the people and pets who I will get to meet and work with in the new year. I hope you all have a happy and wonderful New Year!

Happy Halloween from our resident alien Steve!

We would like to officially introduce everyone to the newest member of the Fly High Dog Training family. He is a papillon and while they are small they are a pretty fearless breed as well. We will be working on teaching him how to navigate the human world comfortably and confidently. Be sure to check back for more updates on his training once we bring him home.

These are some great tips from our friends at Success Just Clicks Dog Training.

Halloween is just around the corner! Time to plan for a successful evening! If your dog is particularly stressed, it's always fine turning your light off and hunkering down for the night.

In my house my dogs are upstairs eating frozen Toppls, with the TV on a little louder than normal, and I sit outside with the candy and non-candy treats!

The dogs are not stressed or worried about the monsters, dinosaurs, princesses, and more who visit the house and I'm free to enjoy the evening giving out full-sized candy bars and non-food goodie bags to all the trick or treaters!

What's your plan for halloween?

At Fly High Dog Training we love all vet staff but especially the vet techs who are out there on the front lines caring for our pets. They see pet owners at their best and on their worst days and help them through it all. So this week we want to say THANK YOU to all the amazing vet techs out there who put their heart out there and take care of us and our pets.
