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 ❤️🐾
Learning early on how to remain calm during training class, Freya is doing such an amazing job. 😊💖
People watching at the marina, little Freya did so well 🖤
Board & Train Freya climbing her way to success - where accessibility meets adorableness 😊
Cyprus learning how to do orbit
Been working on a new trick with Cyprus - Orbit. This was initially really hard on him, he knows how to back up but food wasn’t motivating him enough to get the concept of why I wanted him to do this. Often times it would result in him taking a few steps back and then shutting down in frustration. I often teach my students that motivation looks different from dog to dog and how two things can be motivating but hold different values for the dog. In Cy’s case he puts balls and frisbees above all else and that’s the little extra motivation he needed to finally figure this trick out and be excited about it❤️ food is nice but don’t forget to play with your dogs often 😊
