Practice using calm control during the holiday hustle! 🐾🎄
In this video we practice the command “stay” which can help encourage patience in your dog and help them keep their cool around food and guests.
Ask your dog to “stay” and gradually increase the time and distance before giving their release word. You can use this command during meal prep or before opening the door for guests! #happytraining

Come When Called: A Skill That Could Save Your Dog’s Life! 🐾
In this video, you’ll see owners and their dogs practicing the vital “come” command. Teaching your dog to come when called is more than just a fun trick- it’s a potentially life-saving skill that can protect them from danger, like running into traffic.
We emphasize incorporating collar reaches during training. This step helps your dog feel comfortable with you-or even a stranger- grabbing their collar without fear.
Does your dog have a reliable recall?

Training timid dogs like Waffles is all about patience, trust, and compassion.
Starting with treats to help warm her up, we moved on to basic commands like ‘sit’, keeping things slow and gentle. For shy pups, every step counts! With consistency and care, you can build their confidence and create a strong bond.
Watch Waffles’ progress!

We just wrapped up our crash course to basic obedience, cleverly titled “Holiday Crash Course”! In this program, we worked with owners and their dogs teaching basic obedience skills that are essential to the foundation of creating good, lasting behaviors and strengthening the bond between owners and their dogs.

Eye contact and hand signals help teach your dog to tune-out distractions and stay attuned with you. We start with a treat lure to shape the behavior. After a couple of practice sessions, we will remove the treat lure by holding the treats off to the side or behind your back. We avoid using verbals cues such as “watch me” or the dog’s name to prevent the dog from learning how to ignore our voice.
To begin “Sit With Hand Signal”: Use a treat as a lure between your middle and index fingers with a flat palm open towards the dog. Guide attention from the dog’s nose up to your shoulder. Guiding up from the nose should prompt the dog to sit- what goes up in the front, goes down in the back. Once the dog’s bottom touches the floor and is sat, mark the behavior with a click. Then feed the treat!
We’re having the dog turn and face us to work on fast, responsive behavior.
