How cute are these pups? Two best buds just hanging out at day training!
✨Simple tips for loose leash walking✨The dog in this video already has a foundation and knows to be at the left side. He is a level in his training where his skills are being proofed in public… it’s not a “new” skill to him, so his leash is a bit longer than we’d normally use with a newer dog. It starts by teaching your dog that the word heel means to be at your left side - we do this without moving by teaching the dog to go to the position of your left side. Then we start to incorporate a few steps with a food lure and then fade that lure. Lastly, we add in distractions to proof the dog. What other tips do you have for teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash?
The day training dogs are having way too much fun this week! ✅ Recalls: come when called. Leave the distractions. ✅ Place: Leave alone distractions, go to spot, & stay. ✅ Name discrimination: come for your name only! Great job, pups!
Hamish is wrapping up his first week of board and train! It’s always an honor to get a puppy immediately after they are picked up, and there are so many advantages to starting a puppy this way! Look at all the valuable skills he worked on to ensure he gets a solid foundation! Great job, Hamish!
⭐️Gigi⭐️ This sweet girl is new to day training and is learning lots of skills!
One of the best things about our day training program is that even when dogs are waiting for their one-on-one sessions, they are still getting training. You must: ✅ Stay on your place bed ✅ Relax and be patient ✅ Come when called during play group ✅ Sit at the door when leaving the facility ✅ Crate/wait/place quietly without barking ✅ Play appropriately and politely with other dogs. Besides, good training really is mostly about what happens between the sessions… what you allow a dog to get away with, teaching them right from wrong, and helping them understand leadership.
Let’s talk about puppies! This was a FIVE minute session. Just FIVE minutes! And look at what was accomplished in those minutes: 1️⃣ Place command - duration and distance. 2️⃣ Sit - adding duration and a release word. 3️⃣ Recall! 4️⃣ Engagement with me & bonus… ignore the baby! 5️⃣ Socialization to wierd sound and texture. This is only this puppy’s fourth day of training, and he already has a solid handle on these things! Welcome to board & train, Hamish!
⭐️ Jackie ⭐️ This girl has one of the most fun personalities and loves coming to day training!

Can you believe this is the same dog? Just a few days of Day Training and Kodak has gone from jumpy puppy with zero attention to a much calmer and focused dog. You can also see he’s in a totally different frame of mind and is ready to listen and learn! He’s ignoring the dogs and other distractions around him. This is why we LOVE day training. Kodak loves the two play groups he gets with his friends each day, but can you imagine how difficult it would be for his owners to walk him on a leash past another dog if all he did was play? He needs the training and downtime to balance out his ability to be calm and listen to commands around other dogs. If every time you take your dog out in public you feel like all obedience goes out the window, Day Training might be just what your dog needs. Learning to listen around other dogs and distractions is huge!
