Just a reminder to not leave your furbabies unsupervised and left in a fenced yard I’ve heard of two cases yesterday when the dog was left unattended in a fenced yard both dogs were found missing from the yard and later I know one was hit by a car and killed and the other is still missing keep an eye on your babies so this terrible event doesn’t happen and you can hold your furbabies in your arms tonight

The last of the 48 survivors in the Michael Vick case has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. With his family by his side, Frodo took his place with the 47 that went before him. “The Great 48” will go down in history as dogs that not only survived the horrors of dog fighting, but came out heroes. They were rehabilitated, trained, and ultimately loved by their adopted families. Some went on to get their Canine Good Citizen Award, and some became therapy dogs. They forever changed the way we look at the Pit Bull breed. For all you endured, overcame, and all that you taught us, thank you. You will never be forgotten. ❤️

The training topic for today is teaching your dog the "NO" word. I never see a dog come in to board that understands the command no and it is very easy to teach if done correctly. The first thing I see on the training field is the handler saying NO to the dog with no physical correction and no response to the verbal command. People seem to think the dog comes out of momma knowing what the word No means. Dogs do not have an understanding of the english language and without training they will not respond. Remember that a command that comes from your mouth is just a noise to your dog and he has to learn what behavior he needs to exhibit when he hears that particular noise so the NO command can be any word you pick. The method of getting a reaction is to train the verbal command with an EFFECTIVE physical correction. Per PAVLOV, probably the worlds first dog behaviorist you must give in this order a verbal NO command then immediately give a physical correction with the training device. If done correctly it is a very fast command to learn but the physical command after the verbal command every time has to be done consistently. Im sure the majority of people that read this and want to get a better reaction to the NO command will continue to just give the verbal NO command with no physical correction and continue to wonder why their dog does not respond to the NO command. Good luck with training and hope to see you on the training field.

Teaching dogs basic commands is an important part of the training process. They are the building blocks to better, more cooperative behavior patterns in the future.

Just a reminder that we now offer a basic/puppy class on Sunday afternoon beginning at 1230pm for anyone wanting to train later

“These two boys are from the same parents, boy on the left was paediatric neutered and the other has stayed intact. As you can see, the development the right pup has compared to the left is undeniable, from his skull width, to his chest and shoulders.
This is the development pups will lose out on when desexing before full maturity.”
