Moose is back home with his family ❤️ and we think it’s safe to say that “his little girls” were more than overjoyed to have their four legged friend back home! I always love seeing the welcome posters at our go home sessions!!

I love returning clean, well behaved dogs! This growing pup is returning home this weekend so a nice spa day was in order. Smelling good and acting even better!!

Car manners are so incredibly important for safety, both the dog and human safety. If owners are unable to fit a crate in their car the dog is taught a strong auto down as soon as they get in the car. This is maintained even when the door is open, as shown here. Just like thresholds in the house, door open does not mean instantaneous excitement and exit. The dog must remain calm and in a down, until asked to exit.

His face says it all - “I may be good for a bath, but these are very dumb” 😂

Each dog that comes in for training gets at least two baths, pups like moose get baths more often as he likes to play in water and tends to get stinky fast. Part of training involves making sure the younger pups especially are good for bathing, nail trims, drying, ect. Mixed breeds like moose with difficult coat types will be groomed extremely often if owners wish to keep their coats, and if they are terrible for the process finding a groomer will be difficult.

It seems as if Navi has decided to teach Piper how to professionally relax 😂 I do believe he should now be considered an influencer and begin getting paid for his efforts 🧐

Teaching dogs to be calm is an all too often overlooked aspect of training. I receive many calls from owners who have gone through training class after training class and there dogs are still hyper and anxious - they know their obedience in low distraction, and sometimes even high distraction - but their dogs have no idea how to be calm. Their brains go a million miles an hour and are often soo anxious. The owners exercise their dogs, play fetch, and offer many enrichment activities but they say their dogs are energetic again a short time after.

Why is this? First off let’s talk about the physical exercise. Physical exercise is a massively important aspect that should not be discontinued, but there must be a balance of physical and mental exercise. A massive amount of physical exercise will lead to a healthy dog but won’t address the energy level and anxiety on its own - think about humans training for a marathon, each day they push themselves a little farther to work towards the marathon length. The same thing happens when you exercise your dog. If you wish to wear the dog down with exercise alone, each day you must exercise longer and longer to reach exhaustion.

CALM MUST BE TRAINED!! Through duration work and impulse control dogs can be taught how to be calm and relax. It is not a magical overnight fix, but when structure is maintained the result can be a balanced and happy dog with a wonderful on/off switch. Working on the dogs state of mind is completely different than just training obedience commands. You must dive deeper and look at the entire picture.

Navi along with his housemate, Leyna, are here boarding for a few days and we have had so much fun! I love seeing the pups who have come for training back again!! And what’s even better is pictures like this!!! A room full of dogs - completely calm and relaxed 💖 mentally fulfilled, physically fulfilled, and taught calm on command! (I think Piper has also enjoyed seeing some new faces!!)

I don’t often to get to enjoy my work after the fact so I live vicariously through owner updates and once in a while I am able to board the sweet pups who have come through my training!!

This sweet girl had a bath day!! Smelling good, behaving well, and off to learn some more 💖

09/03/2024

Today we went on an outing to further proof Pipers commands and build more confidence. She held a down when asked, heeled very well, and ignored her surroundings!! (All very huge accomplishments for this sweet girl).

I am sure there are a few people out there that will look at this picture and think “awe look at the sad dog”. This is a picture of a calm dog who was finally confident and relaxed enough to go into a down in a store - not a sad dog.

Dogs who struggle with anxiety, reaching the point that they are able to calmly walk through a store and hold a down with things going on around them is the absolute opposite of sad. This means they have started to overcome anxiety and function like a stable dog. Anxiety may still be a struggle for her going forward but this is the first huge step towards confidence and calm.

Breakthroughs are such an exciting thing! You don’t see the hours/days of work behind the scenes but pictures like this give you a tiny peek into the success!!

When Piper arrived she was deathly afraid of having her nails clipped and dremeled. She would absolutely freak out, throwing tantrums and anything else that would get her out of the situation (extremely fearful). During her time here we have been conditioning her to not fear the dremel or nail clippers and look at that difference!! 🥳 We would still like some more length off for her to comfortably be able to function on her paws without pain, but even now she is walking much more comfortably!! Confidence building is such an important part of training that allows us to be able to make a huge difference in her overall care!!

Meal times turned into dremel conditioning and she can now stand beautifully and calmly to have her nails done!! This may never be her favorite activity but it is an important part of keeping her healthy and comfortable - she no longer fears the dremel and if her owners keep up the work, I anticipate a time where she will look forward to having her nails done as she knows she will be rewarded!! (Video of a calm nail trim to come)

Car manners seem to be overlooked extremely often, which can endanger both owners and dogs. Piper has struggled with some anxiety in the car recently so we got to work!! This process starts outside of the car by teaching a rock solid “down” command. We proofed indoors and outdoors before hopping in the car! Once this little girl understood this command we began working in the car while it was parked. She learned how to load in the car and immediately go into a down. She also learned that just because the door is open (just like the crate) this doesn’t mean she is allowed to exit. She must wait calmly to be allowed to hop out of the car. Once she understood the rules of loading and unloading it is a simple process to reinforce while driving!

Of course, I prefer pups to ride in crates for both their owners safety and theirs, but I also understand that not every owner agrees with this; therefore each dog is taught how to calmly ride in the car, maintaining a down.

We are excited to introduce Piper to our board and train program!

Piper is here to work on her separation anxiety! She was not crate trained by her prior owners which has created a lot of issues for her current owners. While Piper is very sweet she becomes very anxious when left alone and has broken out of crates. During her stay here she will be learning that it is not scary to be alone and the crate is a wonderful safe place. She will also be working on her reactivity when first meeting new people! We will be working on confidence building in many areas to get her to a solid state of mind so that her owner can enjoy her while being able to leave their house!!

In preparation for going home these two handsome fella’s got a full groom and pedicure!!! They are so soft and fluffy 🥰

While this boy is absolutely rocking his place command he makes sure to keep it entertaining 😂😂😂 how it is comfortable for him to sleep in some of these positions I haven’t the slightest clue, but it is hilarious!!!

07/08/2024

Pickles and Na'vi had a grooming session today!! Clean and happy pups (and they smell nice too)

Happy 4th of July from the crew here 🎆 we hope you all have a safe and relaxing holiday!!

This floppy dude is heading home this weekend!! As we prepare for him going back to his owners the last week is spent proofing in many different places with drills such as these. While it does not look very difficult or exciting this allows us to work through any stubbornness or bad attitudes!

One of the questions I seem to get asked more often than not is “will training change my dogs personality?” The short answer is absolutely not. Applying fair consequences for non compliance and bad behavior will never change your dogs personality. All of the commands are taught very clearly and hundreds of repetitions are done before ever applying a consequence for non compliance. Destructive and negative habits are quickly and unemotionally dealt with while building a relationship with the dog. If the dog does not understand what is asked of them, you cannot punish them for breaking command. Now if you mistakenly believe that negative behaviors like jumping on people, rushing through doors, never being able to settle down, and stealing items around the house are part of your dogs “personality” then yes, you will feel as if your dogs personality is being changed. Here during training the dogs are taught that inside is a place to be calm and well behaved and outside is a place to be wild, run around, and expel energy (within reason, of course). Teaching calm on command and holding a dog accountable is not “removing” your dogs personality.

Moose came in a little scared of the dremel, during his stay we have been working on reconditioning him so that this is no longer scary! This may never be dogs favorite activity - but that’s not the point. Our goal is to make activities like nail trims and baths non stressful experiences!

Even if the dogs who are in for training do not currently live with other dogs, I feel it is incredibly important to teach how to calmly coexist with other dogs. A structured walk is one of the many ways I teach this skill. Since the structured walk is a concept he has already been introduced to it was not difficult to add in a calm dog to walk with!

Once a dog has a firm understanding of the place command it is time for massive amounts of duration to proof the command. This is about a two and a half hour session and he absolutely rocked it! Yes there were a few times he broke command but that is perfectly normal at this stage. He was simply told “no” and guided back to the place cot!!

Now that all commands have been introduced with food and less pressure, we will begin fading the food out of training and start introducing the ecollar! This session was very difficult for moose as he is extremely easily distracted when outside! We are not expecting perfection as we begin adding more distraction, duration, and distance, we are only expecting progress as we move forward. Each time he breaks command before asked, or refuses to follow through, he is told “No” and helped with food and leash pressure!

Moose had previously been started on a number of commands including place, but since we are using a different vocabulary and need to make sure he has a solid base to build on; we are starting each of the commands from scratch. At this stage we are only asking for four paws on the cot, and for him to wait to be released to leave the cot. Anything over that including sit and down (without being asked) is rewarded.

Over the last few days this little dude has been learning a ton of simple concepts. He has been learning how to work for his food instead of just being given his bowl. We have started each obedience command from a scratch to ensure he has a solid understanding before we move on to leash pressure and proofing. In this session he is learning what the “break” command means - instead of using “stay” which is a huge grey area for dogs, the dog must remain in command until released. Teaching the break command allows us to start building duration without confusing the dog!

The structured walk is such an important part of teaching pups handler awareness while also teaching them how to ignore distractions around them! The structured walk is not a time for sniffing, peeing on every bush, or trying to greet everyone they see. The structured walk is just that - a walk with structure. There will be thousands of other scenarios the dog will be allowed to sniff, and greet, and potty; but the structured walk is for exercise, handler awareness, and ignoring surroundings!

As we progress in training and start to fade food out and proof off the leash, drills like this are extremely valuable to find and holes and correct non compliance. She has learned place and recall very well but in drills like this she tries to anticipate. She has come a long way already and we cannot wait for her owners to enjoy a much more confident and relaxed 🐕

The structured walk is such an important part of training, especially for anxious pups like this little girl! The structured walk allows us to teach the dog how to be calm and relaxed and defer to her handler. There’s no need to worry about what is going on around her, just pay attention to the person on the other end of the leash and they will take care of everything! Piper has just now reached the one week mark in her training and is starting to catch onto the fact that she doesn’t have to be concerned about the world around her! She has a long way to go in her confidence building but she will get there on step at a time ❤️
