Ever.

Oh, the drama.

Then she sat down at the piano and provided us with a soundtrack.

Vader’s boundaties.
🐾
Boundaries are more difficult at driveways than they are at curbs due to the or relative flatness.
🐾
Vader doesn’t care about difficult.
🐾
Boundary training teaches a dog not to cross a specified threshold unless explicitly invited. In addition to a good Down-stay and a rock solid recall, boundaries are one of the essential skills to work on in order to keep your dog safe.

Here’s another update on our young friend Pepper, shown here on day 12 of her &train program.
🐾
Still a and still happy, she just knows more now.
🐾
In this video, we see a little bit of her leash manners, an introduction to boundaries, and a long-distance recall with distraction. Impressive stuff for a little one barely 5 months old!

Our young friend Lucy is a 6 month old who has been doing a bit of complimented with some &train the last few months. 🐾
She’s happy, smart, cute, and committed to everything she does including training!
🐾
In this clip we see her working on her Down-stay while Dannielle makes things hard by tossing food all over the place.

Introducing Sora!
🐾
This 3 year old is shown here on day 6 of her 21 day &train program. In this session Sadi is working with her on leash manners, and Down with a little Stay sprinkled in for flavor.
🐾
It’s interesting to guess what breeds may have come together to create the dog in front of us, and in the beginning of this company, guessing was basically all there was. In the last 5-10 years, DNA testing has become more reliable than we previously thought possible. While Sora’s appearance and behavior suggest to us that she’s a mix of mostly Husky and any number of other undefined breeds, it’s possible that she has no detectable Husky in her ancestry at all.
🐾
That’s science!
🐾
What interesting DNA results have you heard?
🐾
Have you ever been certain of a dog’s breed mixture, only to have their DNA results surprise you?

A moment of Monday morning zen with Mr.
He does this after every frisbee session. It’s how he expresses (and extends) his bliss. Or maybe he’s just motivated, and even after I’m done training, he’s committed to practicing his roll-overs independently.

We have a little over a week left until Jog-a-Thon 2024! If you'd like to help Violet and her amazing local homeschool co-op reach their fundraising goals, you can make a donation using any of the methods below! We are so grateful for all of the support thus far! 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Instagram and Facebook friends: Jog-a-Thon season is upon us once again!
🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️
If you’ve known the FACD team for long, you know we take this time of year VERY seriously. Violet is our very youngest assistant and odds are good if your pup has completed a board & train program with us, she’s helped out in the process! She loves acting as a distraction, especially to the friendliest and most excitable dogs. 😉 Not only do we LOVE supporting Violet’s amazing home school co-op, but we also have a reputation to uphold. Violet has been the top fundraiser in her class for the last 5 years in a row (many thanks to our amazing client base!)! She’ll be running her hardest on March 16th, and in the meantime we hope to collect donations that her school can use for supplies, field trips, etc! 🏆 🥇 ⭐️
Sunshine Cooperative Enrichment Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, parent-run homeschool enrichment center and we wholeheartedly believe in their program and what they do for families of elementary-aged kids. If you or someone you know would be interested in more info about their program for your own family, please reach out!
🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️
If you’d like to help Violet reach her fundraising goal, you can make donation of any amount (mo donation is too small!) using any of the options below. Thank you so much for your support!
