Such a busy morning! Good thing we have Kozak and Ralphie to help supervise daycare.

Busy day with the BIG BOYS. First, we met up with Ansefa the Rottweiler for his lesson with Ozwald the Briard dog. Ansefa has been enrolled in private lessons, and today was his first walk at the park. He absolutely nailed it! He was a complete gentleman and did wonderful even past a street full of barking dogs.

Ozwald checked in for a mini camp and joined us for our walk. He's working on his manners in public and did very well working alongside Ansefa.

Next we headed over to meet up with Hoss the Boz. Hoss is a Turkish Boz/Anatolian mix and boy oh boy is he big and beautiful 😍! Hoss began lessons last week to work is recall and he's doing AMAZING! He's already been on several off-leash hikes with his momma. We're so proud of him!

Being a trainer is so fun. We get to interact with so many amazing breeds and their owners. Such a fun day!

Reminder: If you have time to binge-watch an entire show, but "no time" to train your dog...
It's a priority issue.

Step it up!

Here's a topic that needs to be addressed.

Spicy dogs with mild owners.

Owners with challenging dogs can go to all the best trainers and have the best tools and strategies. However, training will fall flat if the owner isn't believable.

If you're someone who struggles with a spicy dog, I encourage you to take a look at the role you play in your dogs life. Are you always affectionate? Are you always giving your dog freedoms they didn't earn? Are boundaries hard for you? Do you enforce and follow through on your discipline?

Don't get me wrong, I've seen plenty of owners rise to the challenge for their dog. I've seen soft owners with very strong-willed dogs and make it work. Keep in mind that owner needed to do a lot of serious work on themselves in order to step into that role of leadership.

It's up to us as trainers to be able to encourage owners to become strong leaders for their dogs. Or to let them know that this might not be a good fit. In some cases, with ultra spicy dogs and mild owners, rehoming or euthanasia is the most ethical and humane option.

Another BEAUTIFUL day on the ranch.

Weston and Tryone are working on place and waiting for the door. Two very simple things that go a long way in helping many dogs with impluse control.

Beautiful day for a packwalk, followed by a pint at the local brewery! Tiny Teddy also had his go home lesson today. Stay tuned for updates!

15 dogs on an off leash adventure this morning. We took a little hike off site around the property. All these dogs have been trained using ecollars and balanced training. Both of which "positive only experts" claim to shut down dogs and make them sad.

Well, I don't see that at all. All I see is happy dogs enjoying the freedom that ecollars can bring to their lives. I see well-rounded dogs that live incredible lives now that they are balanced with love and leadership. Don't let those who've never rehabilitated dogs using tools sway you from believing what is truly possible.

Percy had his first big day of daycare!
He made plenty of new friends, patrolled for squirrels, took a nap, and enjoyed playtime. Big day for such a little man!

Beautiful day for an off leash hike with the bootcampers. Tiny Teddy and Rebel are wrapping up their final week while Nala and Doodle Teddy are learning the ropes.

Our bootcamps are fully emersed programs training dogs for real-life situations, outings and fun!

Here's a very simple way to make training part of everyday life!

Nothing like a good game of tag and trekking up the mountain on a beautiful Sunday!

Just a reminder that never in the history of ever has a mother dog used "gentle parenting" to correct her pups.

Jadzia Update! She's FINALLY got her cast off after 8 very long weeks. She's on light duty and wants to know why she can't play bally yet, but we've been hiding balls around the orchards for her to find instead. She will be back on duty in the coming weeks.

Scout was adopted today!
Thanks to everyone who shared his story. Scout found the perfect forever family. Best wishes to them on their journey together! We love you Scout and we're so happy for you!

Teeny Tiny Teddy rocked his first go home lesson today! He's home for the weekend and will finish up his boot camp next week. He's already accomplished so much. Teddy started off pretty reactive on the leash. He needed manners and structure, and he needed to learn how to dog!

We got to work showing him what kind of dog he could be. He went from spice to nice and now is eager to work, learn, and train.

Today, his mom even took him to Home Depot! He can walk and play with other dogs, he can relax on his cot, and he no longer terrorizes the cat.

Life is shaping up to be a much bigger place for young Teddy. We're so proud of him and his mom!

Kozak will be 7 this year! 🤯
He's aging like fine wine. 🍷
Proper diet, fitness, and a balanced body and mind are keeping him in tip-top shape. We could all learn a thing or two from him. 🐾
