What an awesome private lesson with Mr. Fritz this morning! Took some time to work on his excitement towards moving objects such as the vacuum, mop, and broom. Taking baby steps to learn that these aren’t meant to be played with or chased. So excited to see this boys progress and awesome job to his parents!

Let's talk leash walking. 🐕 While there are so many ways to teach basic leash walking, here is one of our favorite ways to start starring board and train puppy, Daisy! 🔹Follow The Leader🔹 The basic concept of this game is to teach your dog what to do when they feel leash pressure. Here are the steps: 1. Have plenty of tasty treats handy and have your dog on a regular flat collar or slip leash. Find a calm, quiet place where your dog can focus on you easily. 2. Walk in a random pattern (similar to what you see if the video). Try to stick to 90 or 180 degress turns. 3. Your dog will probably hit the end of the leash when you turn. Don't stop when you feel that pressure, keep walking. As soon as your dog turns and starts following you, telling them "Good!" and offer them a treat in the position where you would want them to walk. (refrence the video to see where we offer the reward.) 4. Don't ignore your dog if they are walking right next to you when you turn or while walking. This is a great time to continue rewarding them for walking next to you. 5. Keep sessions short, 3-5 minutes at a time is ample time. You want to keep training fun and simple. 🔹 Let us know how these tips help you below! 🔹🔹🔹 Need more help with leash walking?

Our 2024 training year has come to an end, and it has been remarkable. We were delighted to welcome back previous clients for refresher boarding and lessons and had the pleasure of meeting so many new faces this year. Watching so many of your puppies mature into wonderful adults has been a joy. The greatest reward has been seeing so many of you living fulfilling lives with your canine companions. We extend our gratitude to each of you who chose us to be part of your training journey. We recognize that your dogs are cherished family members, and trusting them to someone new is a difficult decision. It has been an honor to be your trainer. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! ▪🔹🔹🔹▪ Please enjoy the slideshow below! All of our board and train graduates are pictured along with most of our private lesson and boarding pups.

Awesome outing with board and train Athena yesterday afternoon! One of our big goals for Athena was to help her with confidence around sudden movements and sounds. This outing was a huge win for us! Lots of exposure at the park with runners, people playing sports, and lots of kids playing on the playgrounds. Seeing her confidence grow has been so rewarding! Good job Athena! ▪ 💻 www.BattleBridgeCanine.com 📞 910-988-5346 📨 [email protected] ▪ ▪ #raleigh #dogtraıner #bensonnc #obediencetraining #raleighnc #ncdogtraining #bbk9 #battlebridgecanine #dogtrainer

How much exercise does your dog get?🐕 Exercise is a crucial part of any dog’s mental and physical wellbeing and is a huge part of our day to day life here at BBK9. Why is exercise so important? ▪️Physical Health: Regular exercise helps reduce the risk of obesity, arthritis, and other related diseases. It helps maintain a healthy weight, boost cardiovascular health, and helps keep muscles strong. ▪️Bonding: What’s a better way to build a fun and engaging relationship with your dog other than appropriate play? ▪️Mental Health: Dogs need engagement to be fulfilled. Exercise can satisfy this need. Actives such as running, problem solving, and exploring can help reduce the chance of boredom and destructive behaviors. ▪️Behavioral Health: Exercise helps reduce restlessness and helps maintain energy levels. Dogs who are exercised appropriately are more likely to be calmer in the home, reducing the likelihood of problem behaviors such as digging, barking, and other destructive behaviors. 🔹 Ready to start training? 📞 910-988-5346 🌐 www.BattleBridgeCanine.com 📧 [email protected] 🔹 #dogtraining #raleighnc #raleigh #ncdogtrainer #BBK9 #BattleBridgeCanine #boardandtrain

Day 6 update on Dahlia and Grizz, as well as some clips from their first outing with us today! These two pups are doing incredible!

What is one behavior I think every dog should learn? Settling! 👉🏻 learning to be calm and settle down is often an overlooked skill that SO many dogs could benefit from! ▪️▪️▪️#dogtrainer #battlebridgecanine #ncdogtrainer #bbk9
