2๏ธโฃ **Calmness**: Teaching them to be quiet and relaxed helps reduce anxiety and stress. ๐๐ค Raptor has mastered the art of serene snoozing!
3๏ธโฃ **Housebreaking**: A crate is an essential tool for potty training, which makes life easier for both pups and their humans! ๐ฝ๐พ
4๏ธโฃ **Travel & Vet Visits**: A well-adjusted dog is more comfortable during travel and vet visits. ๐งณ๐ Raptorโs ready for new adventures!
5๏ธโฃ **Better Behavior**: Crate training sets the foundation for good habits, reducing destructive behavior at home. ๐ โจ Raptor is proving just how much heโs learned!

Moving with dogs can be a stressful experience for both you and your furry friend. Here are some things to be aware of and tips to make the transition smoother:
1. Plan ahead: Before the big move, make sure to research pet-friendly accommodation and familiarize yourself with local dog parks and pet stores in your new area.
2. Keep them safe: Make sure your dog is properly secured during the move. Consider using a pet carrier to ensure their safety during transportation.
3. Update their information: Make sure your dog's tags and microchip information are up to date with your new address and contact information in case they get lost during the move.
4. Stick to a routine: Moving can disrupt your dog's routine, so try to maintain their regular schedule as much as possible. This will help them feel more secure in their new environment.
5. Allow time to adjust: Moving can be overwhelming for dogs, so give them time to acclimate to their new surroundings. Be patient and provide plenty of love and attention to help ease their anxiety.
By being aware of these tips and taking the necessary precautions, you can make the moving process a positive experience for both you and your dog. Good luck with your move! ๐พ #movingwithdogs #petsafety #dogsofinstagram #newbeginnings

๐พ๐พ Update on German shepherd Pullo and his adorable puppy obedience progress! ๐ถ๐
Hey friends! Just wanted to share the exciting news about our German shepherd, Pullo, and his journey towards becoming a well-behaved pup! ๐
Pullo's been working really hard with his obedience training, and we couldn't be prouder of him! ๐ From sit, stay, and come, to walking on a leash like a gentleman, Pullo has been acing it all! ๐ช๐ผโค๏ธ
We've been amazed by how quickly he's picked up new commands and how eager he is to learn. His determination and intelligence never cease to amaze us! ๐ง ๐ก
Not only has Pullo made remarkable progress, but he's also been enjoying every moment of his training. It's heartwarming to see his tail wagging with excitement whenever we embark on a training session together! ๐ฅฐ๐พ
We're looking forward to sharing more updates with you all as Pullo continues his obedience journey.๐ Stay tuned for more pawsome adventures with this amazing German shepherd! ๐โจ
#PulloUpdate #ObedientPup #GermanShepherdLove #TrainingJourney
๐ถ๐ Calling all dog lovers! Let's talk about why puppy training is absolutely crucial! ๐
๐พ First and foremost, having a well-trained pup makes life easier and more enjoyable for both you and them. Imagine a well-behaved furry friend who listens to your commands, walks politely on a leash, and greets guests with a friendly wag of the tail. It's a total game-changer!
๐พ Puppy training helps establish boundaries and sets your fur baby up for a balanced, happy life. From crate training to potty training, these skills prevent them from developing bad habits and ensure they feel safe and secure at home.
๐พ Building a strong foundation through training also enhances your bond with your fur baby, promoting trust and understanding between you. It's like having a conversation with your four-legged companion! Training sessions provide mental stimulation, improving their overall well-being and preventing behavioral issues down the road.
๐พ Another important aspect of puppy training is socialization. By exposing your pup to different people, animals, and environments, they become confident and well-adjusted. This reduces the likelihood of them becoming anxious or fearful in new situations, making your adventures together stress-free and fun.
๐พ Let's not forget that responsible dog ownership means being considerate of others. A well-trained pup means less chance for accidents or aggressive behavior towards humans or fellow furry friends. It's like spreading good vibes everywhere we go!
So, if you're a proud puppy parent or planning on getting a new furry addition soon, I highly recommend investing time and effort into puppy training. It's a gift that keeps on giving, both for your dog and for yourself! ๐
Share your experiences with puppy training below. Did it make a positive impact on your pet's life? Let's inspire each other to raise well-behaved and happy pups! ๐ถ๐

๐พ Update on Pullo, the German Shepherd puppy, who is nailing the art of walking on a leash and mastering basic commands! ๐ถ๐ช
I am so proud to see Pulloโs progress as we work on his leash training. Heโs quickly grasping the concept of walking alongside me without tugging or pulling. Such a good boy! ๐ถโโ๏ธโจ
Not only that, Pulloโs stationary stays have improved tremendously! He can now hold his spot for longer periods and is getting better at ignoring distractions around him. This little champ is growing up to be such a well-behaved pup! ๐ฏ๐
Now that he has the basics down, weโre ready to tackle new challenges. Weโll be focusing on building up the duration of his stays and working on introducing distractions. With dedication and consistency, I have no doubt that Pullo will ace these too! ๐๐ฅ
Itโs incredible to witness the growth and development of our furry friends. Pulloโs progress brings me so much joy and reminds me of the power of patience and positive reinforcement in training.
If you have any tips or suggestions to help us continue this journey, feel free to share them in the comments below. Letโs cheer on Pullo as he reaches new milestones! ๐๐

๐พ๐ Big news about our amazing Great Dane, Brahms! ๐๐พ
I just had to share this incredible update with all of you, because I couldn't be prouder of our furry friend. ๐ถ๐ช After overcoming his fear of shopping carts, Brahms has been making some serious progress in learning to walk with distractions! ๐โจ
It's truly remarkable how quickly he's picked it up. He went from being uncertain and anxious, to now confidently strutting his stuff alongside those seemingly intimidating carts. It's proof that with patience, love, and support, anything is possible! ๐โค๏ธ
Walking with distractions can be quite challenging for any dog, let alone a giant breed like Brahms. But he's proven time and time again that he's up for any challenge! ๐พ๐ช As his proud parent, I couldn't be more thrilled to witness his rapid growth and development.
Not only is he adapting to unfamiliar sounds and situations like a champ, but he's proving to be a role model for all of us, reminding us that facing our fears head-on can lead to incredible personal growth. ๐
So, let's raise our virtual paws to celebrate Brahms' incredible progress! ๐๐พ If you ever doubted the power of determination and a loving support system, let Brahms' story be your inspiration. Together, we can conquer anything! ๐ชโค๏ธ

Who said old dogs canโt learn new tricks?!?!
This 9.5 years old gentleman HAVOC used to chronic bark for and at every noise, change of environment, doorbell ring and person on the front door. ๐ฅ๐ฅ
He learned his place command and stay in our previous lessons, so we introduced our โjackpot treat giverโ which makes it possible to reward him from a distance. ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Now his mom is able to go in a different room, out of sight and answering the door AND has the ability to reward Havic for good and quiet behavior ๐๐ชโบ๏ธ๐๐ถ
We are so extremely proud of his progress and his owners efforts by keeping up with his homework ๐๐๐๐

Little update from German Shepherd SHADOW ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ
We did some impulse control training with objects (toys, bottle filled with stones and other dogs) and he did wonderful. ๐๐๐
So very proud of this little fella - heโs come a long way & is progressing so well ๐๐๐๐
Good job puppers ๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช
We think SOPHIE is ready for her American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen test next week ๐๐๐๐
We always practice a little bit more than what the test requires, to make sure everyone passes with flying colors ๐คฉ๐๐คฉ
Here we goโฆ. Instead of staying on a 20ft leash we did 100ft with no leash ๐พ๐พ๐พ
Our journey is Oth sweet SOPHIE is almost over and she has changed sooooo much.
We couldnโt be more happy.
Great job Sophie ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Letโs look back what German Shepherd LEXI learned in the past 7 days.
She went from being very barky, unfocused and pulling on leash to THIS๐๐๐
โข sit
โข down
โข stay
โข distractions
โข walking on lose leash
โข settling down
โข impulse control
She is doing very good and progresses every day.
We didnโt want to bore you with a 10 min video so we speeded it up a little. ๐๐๐
Next step: BUILDING DURATION๐๐๐
Have fun watching. ๐๐๐
Welcome to our puppy Board & Train Little Shepherd ๐๐๐
๐พLEXI๐พ is a 5 months old German Shepherd who will learn all the basics and manners she needs to be a well rounded puppy๐ฅณ๐คฉ
She struggles with settling down and keeping her โopinionโ to herself ๐ฌ๐
๐คฃ
We will work a lot on impulse control and basic obedience to achieve that goal.
Watch her first session at Loweโs here ๐๐๐

Same task - 2 different dogs ๐ถ๐ฅฐ๐
Weโve started to teach our dogs Gรผnther & Fritz to hold things.
Why? ๐ค
Why not!๐ฅฐ
These two are bird dogs and supposed to retrieve birds. We donโt want them to โchewโ on them while bringing them back and rather teach the โholdโ separate from retrieve before connecting it with a layer of prey drive.
Is this more work?
Absolutely!
Is it worth it?
Yes, 100%!
Short cuts will make you go in circles in the long run. We want the dogs to work for us because THEY WANT TO, not because they are pressured to do so.
In this stage they are figuring the task out by themselves without command. They command gets added later in the process. ๐ค๐
Please remember there are a million ways to train a dog. This is just one way / stay tuned for their progress. ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ
