AFT Dog Training

06/02/2025

I had a great time this weekend. Stay tuned for some more exciting news!

A huge thank you to all the amazing trainers and owners who joined us for a fantastic weekend of dog training and behavior modification.

We tackled reactivity, aggression, crate issues, creative applications of the “Out” command, teaching dogs how to be neutral in chaotic environments, the profound impact of healthy relationship dynamics, how to strategically address small moments in order to derail the big ones, how to properly (and fairly) apply punishment to transform behavior, why a deep understanding of the different psycho-physiological effects that different tools have on behavior is absolutely critical , emergency muzzling techniques, safety protocols, the necessity of adding pressure to elicit problem behaviors so they can actually be addressed successfully, advanced (and unique) e-collar applications, why mindset work trumps obedience, and tons more.

Thanks so much to Lora and her awesome staff at Paws for Obedience for sharing their amazing location us, and for their generous hospitality! 🙏

Congratulations to Echo! He passed our AFT Private Sessions Program. Echo's owner is dedicated to raising and him properly. Echo's entire family is involved in raising and training him. Echo enjoys his days at our dog daycare and now has our real world dog training in his life too. Our approach was science backed Balanced Dog Training methods paired with the safest and most modern dog training tools: Ecollar and Prong Collar. We couldn't do this without owner dedication and our AFT Team and my pack of 7 dogs. His owner is dedicated to continue to follow through with Echo's success and has lifetime access to our team for anything that may come up. We look forward to seeing him in the future at the daycare and on pack walks!

The dock diving pool at the Nazareth location A Furry Tail Come True Too, Nazareth
Our maintenance team did a fantastic job on it this year. We took my crew in for a dip. They all ended up going in. Lots of fun. Check out the A Furry Tail Come True pages for some fun pool updates and photos.

Scarlett and Cider were able to get Baby Groot into the dock diving pool for a swim. Baby Groot normally stays away from swimming but the rest of my pack was able to teach him to go in. He is Baby Groot 😉

Bruce working on his leash manners. Here we are tightening the loose leash walk by utilizing spacial pressure. AFT dog trainer Alaijah is guiding him into position with his owner, simply by walking next to him and using some leash pressure and praise. This method will eventually lead to a nice Heel Command and working well for Bruce since he had severe Leash manners and now it is improving every session we do. Bruce attends our AFT Private Sessions Program.
