I took Nova for a casual walk today ( it was so cold ). We practiced sit-stays, down-stays and recall dragging a long- line as a precaution. Then had some fun with the place command. She is really a very fun pup.

Penny was a recent adoption from SPARKY rescue in Owensboro. We don't know her history since she was a stray but she seems very responsive to training! We have been having fun with her and teaching basic commands and leash manners - and also working on keeping her out of the trash can! This girl is something special!

Buddy is very well behaved but he gets very excited with new people around and he is a powerful puller on leash. Yesterday I took him for a trip to Home Depot to meet many new friends and practice his leash walking skills. He is also enjoying time at my house making lots of new friends. He is 3 and 1/2 years old.

Nova had been making such great progress and today starts her second week of training! She is the sweetest girl and her personality is really starting to shine!

We are on the home stretch Linus!! Marking behavior is so important when working with dogs. What does that mean? If you have ever heard of "clicker training", you have the idea. We use words to "mark" behaviors. For example, when a dog breaks a command, I use "no" or "uh-uh" then immediately put them back in command. I will keep doing this until a dog correctly does what I am asking - then I will use "yes" or "good" to immediately "mark" something good - at that time (if I am using food or a toy), I will further reward with payment! This puts everything into perspective for the dog. They start thinking ohhhh, that is what you were asking!!!!! Got it! Once you establish your markers, training gets a whole lot easier!

A couple of former students (Huey and Mabel) helping with our current student, Buddy while Penny hangs out of the sofa.

Buddy is a really great boy! Unfortunately, he has almost pulled his owner down a few times and he is too strong for them to take him for walks. He also gets overly excited with new people! We had a great day today with a nice walk, practicing an auto-sit when we stop, teaching him to walk by our side, and making sure he knows there is a human on the other end of the leash. Buddy will be here for the next two weeks and he already off to a great start! Welcome to SOS Buddy!

Welcome to SOS Sweet Penny!!!! This little cutie was adopted from SPARKY rescue a few months ago ! She is a middle aged beagle that landed herself in a shelter as a stray and no owner came forward. We are working through some separation anxiety issues and working on basic commands. She is such a happy little girl and I am looking forward to watching her blossom! We have no idea what her history is.

We have been working on Nova's leash manners at home and she has been doing great. So today, we ventured out to Home Depot and she did pretty well. Then back where we practiced commands and socialization with other dogs.

Linus is a young puppy so working with him around other dogs like Barkley is very good for him. Linus goes to work with his mom and there is another dog there so it's important for Linus to focus on his mom instead of the other dog.

Home Depot and Petsmart for Linus yesterday.

Goodnight from Nova! 💗 🐾

Busy day for Nova! She is walking much better on leash and getting better about distractions. Since she is so reactive to other dogs, I have been muzzle conditioning her since this is the safest way to introduce her and get her to let her guard down. I was happy to see her relax after a proper greeting. Great job Nova!
