💜 Axel and Ellie Food Test 💜

These doggies are doing a great job understanding their expectations in command and know that a treat is coming to them if they're patient.

It's been a lot of work and repetition to help teach them to control some of their impulses, especially a particularly food motivated little beagle 🤣

💜 Axel and Ellie Mae 💜

This one was a hard trip for these beautiful babies. The park was busy with lots of families, dogs and of course the birds. It took a few minutes to tell, but with some food to keep their interest, both dogs were able to watch the distractions go by!

💜 Welcome (Back) Stormy! 💜

Stormy finished up his Puppy Boot Camp a few weeks ago and is back for his Basics "big boy" training! We'll work on follow-through on commands and challenging him to be his very best self!

So excited to get some more time with his gorgeous man!

💜 It's good to practice holding a down stay with your dog. If it's hard for you, you'll start to see why it is hard for your dog too! Just some food for thought ...💜

💜 Foster Mel B. 💜

Now don't be fooled, she's still mean. But she didn't try to bite me this time and this is getting really cute 🫶

Still awaiting a unicorn adopter and a available at

However her people will have to be very understanding about what they are getting into! She's sweet but very spicy 🤣

💜 Miss Ellie Mae 💜

Our tiny little hound is so very excited about everything in the world! Love her spirit, but sometimes we have to ask her to stay still. She's working on her down stays.

So far she's got the idea of staying but was popping up to get her reward instead of waiting to hear her release cue. No biggie, we just work through it to paint the full picture of the behavior we're looking for.

This girl is just the most fun 💜

💜 Sweet Axel 💜

This gentle boy is working on his exposure to new places! He did so well out at Lowe's tonight. Absolutely love this boy

The first steps of actual training happen here! Note that the only actual correction given in this video is a few leash pops for blowing off the SIT command and also some leash pressure for trying to create her own version of the SIT command 😅😮‍💨

💜 AKC CGC Class! 💜

Things rarely go to plan, but these guys did an amazing job working through it!

Miss Ellie Mae and Angel Boy Axel joined class today and learned a few things themselves!

So nice to see you all ☺️
