Rudy is finishing up his B&T and has been having a ball. This guy is nonstop. He has tons of energy and loves all things work and play. He has a great temperament and will play with anything and anyone. The cats still aren't sure he's a friend, but he's winning them over.
This guy is so smart. Can't wait to anchor all he's learned, with his human.
However, if there was a dog that hates pictures, it's Rudy. lol. 😂 pretty sure he was giving me the stink eye.

Dolly is finishing up her B&T and will soon be doing her private lesson follow ups. We are going to miss this sweet girl. She is so precious. She runs around like she's the community princess and looks a little surprised if the red carpet isn't rolled out for her. ❤️ She's a smart girl, and to be a princess, she is very low maintenance. She keeps a clean room, doesn't play in the mud, and once she's finished a session, she likes to just curl up for a nap. She has the most laid back personality of any female dog I've met. We all just love her! Isn't she beautiful

This working ball of energy will be finishing up his stay portion of B&T this week. Bumblebee is a perfect name for this guy. He is busy busy busy, but always gets his work done. He is smart, high energy and so much fun! He's pretty cute too!

We believe in working with the personality of the individual dog to build on his/her strengths. We do not support any training that is abusive to the dog. We believe that people and dogs learn better, without creating unnecessary conflict.

Wrigley finished up his training board & train and his handlers have been coming weekly for the follow up sessions. (Where the real magic happens) He is so blessed to have handlers that put in the work to make sure he has his best life. And he looks good while he's living it! Isn't he beautiful!

It's important to reward behaviors that you want. It is a great way to teach routine. As you anchor the behavior the reward times become further apart, and eventually become praise, play, etc. We always fade food, but we never remove reward. The reward just changes.

Y'all remember Frieda? Turns out when we say the girl can fly (run fast, dock dive crazy distance) it also includes her own seat with frequent flyer miles. Isn't she just the cutest!

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Not this girl! Findley is rocking her Kick Start. She's hard working and loves all the attention of training. I love her salt and pepper face and that in her wisdom, she's a no nonsense kinda girl.

This handsome guy is just the sweetest. He loves praise, is very sensitive, and just wants to make everyone around him smile. Silly finishes up his board and train this week and we are gonna miss his smile. He just lights up the room.

Aurora posing for a few pics today as she finishes up her board and train stay. This sweet girl is just the best. She's loveable, smart, learns quickly and loves all things. She is going to be as amazing companion as she grows up.

Sully wasn't the least bit concerned that it was raining all day. He just loves to be outside playing and working. (And rolling in the puddles)

Pretty excited!

Y'all, this is the best stuff we've found! Absolutely zero issues with our clients, and it smells amazing!!!!
I even use this to wash the kennel towels!
When kennel cough ramped up this year, we called Culleoka Company and talked to the guy that develops the cleaner to get recommendations on how to best protect our clients and our personal dogs. Excellent product, excellent customer service!

Working with Aurora on "go to bed". The goal is for her to get on the bed and automatically lay down. Since we've lured this position, we are now freeshaping and "marking and paying" the desired behavior. This sweet girl has a ton of energy, and loves to learn.

Working with Sully on walking with a wheelchair. He's such a smart and sweet boy.

Winnie Girl finished up her B&T program and is back doing follow up to anchor behaviors. Follow up visits are crucial to training. It does the handler no good if the dog will only communicate with us. These sessions transfer all that knowledge and skill to the handler, and allow the dog to really shine and show just how smart they are.
Not all dogs have the same drives. Winnie challenged us because she wasn't super motivated to work for toys or food, but would work for praise and affection. She is also phenomenal on leash, but has to choose to submit to having the leash put on. Her handler is phenomenal. She is patient and works with Winnie's natural instincts and tendencies, doesn't try to over power her and allows her to choose obedience and reward.
Winnie is a super smart girl, and we miss her daily cuddles.

When your client comes for a training lesson, and gets an hour from the facility and finds one of your barn cats has hitched a ride. ❤️. So thankful for sweet clients!
