Another successful outing for Megan and Perry. He’s made such strides over the past weeks working in more distracting environments. The boy wants to go fast so learning how to be content in busy moments is what we are looking to accomplish. Well done today ❤️🐾 #dogtraining #homedepot #bordercollie #winthropharbor #lakecounty #gurnee
We call him Phoenix for a reason, the boy loves to fly… finally getting his rebound ❤️🐾

We missed our daycare crew, welcome back Lucy 🪿❤️🐾
Enjoyed a two hours hike with my best friend yesterday. The woods were basically empty to we got the opportunity to work some recalls and send offs along the way. Cy’s smile says it all he had such a good time 🐾❤️
Intermediate class working hard on their leash manners - great group ☺️
Intermediate class did a phenomenal job tonight, such a great group of hardworking dogs and owners ❤️
First night for the star puppies, going to be a great class ❤️
Puppy Pre K
Puppy Pre K fun with Freya and Echo - last night was all about unsteady surfaces. Learning to create confidence is a huge point for our youngsters. Being new to life, comes with new experiences that can feel initially uncertain so learning to push through that is an important skill to develop. Echo and Freya had so much fun exploring yesterday and got to end the session with some play time ❤️🐾
Freya join us for toss and fetch week 4
It’s Freya‘s final day for her board and train today. she got to accompany us with her owners for week four of toss and fetch. We took advantage of the little break in between rounds and played a little bit in the field, and Freya absolutely loved chasing the frisbee. I think we may have a doxie disc dog on our hands. 😄❤️
Freya Board & Train
Week 2 in the books…
Freya has made excellent progress with wheelchair accessibility, easily navigating the ramp and entry. Her recent home visit went very smoothly and she showed that she could easily transfer what she’s learned here in her real life settings.
In our final week, we will focus on:
-Walking alongside and inside the wheelchair
-Building stay duration
-Field trips for practice
Freyas adaptability and decision-making skills are impressive, and we're excited to see her continued growth. This young girl is going places ❤️🐾
