Pretty hound dog, Maggie, is so happy to have a Freedom No-Pull Harness that will help her walk with less pulling. Her parents are happy, too! We did lots of work on loose leash walking today.

Here's a clip from training on the Greenway with Bernie.

We can now PASS BY another dog without him reacting with barks and lunges and flips. It's not perfect, but we're not after perfection. We're looking for progress.

Practice makes PROGRESS!

Mr. Biggs is a 5-month-old Morkie who is getting help with house-training and barking and jumping for attention. His littermate (who lives with another family member) is named Mr. Smalls. Cute!

This smiley velvet hippo is Nathan. Nathan loves people so much that his exuberance can be overwhelming. Nathan is learning impulse control, calm greetings, and loose leash walking. What a face, right?!?!

Littermates Riley and Reese are learning all things puppy in their private lessons. This includes crate-training, basic cues, bell-ringing, and building confidence. Soon to come is loose leash walking and good manners training. 💜

Bernie used to scream, lunge, and twist in the air when he saw another dog on leash. He reacted the same way if a car passed by him. His reactivity was extreme, so his parents stopped walking him. I have been working with Bernie and his parents for about a year, and this video shows how Bernie NOW reacts when two dogs pass by him. He is doing so much better walking in his neighborhood (on his turf) and amazingly well in parks (off his turf). I have huge respect for his parents who committed to the process and work with him diligently in between our sessions. I am proud, proud, PROUD of them all!

Penny is a 10-week-old English Shepherd already learning good puppy manners and getting exposed to the world. Isn't she precious?

Ellie (left) was not reactive at all towards helper dogs, Ollie and Ellie (right) at our lesson at Lowe's Home Improvement today. She has done so well with her dog & people reactivity training, that we're going to start her on Canine Good Citizen training at her next lesson!

Here is proof that dogs of any age can learn new behaviors! This is Jasper, 7 years old, and Tucker, 11 years old, working on PLACE to keep them calm and quiet when guests arrive. They are also learning CRATE TIME for when their mom is working and QUIET to stop barking at all of the sights and sounds in and out of the house. They have made a lot of progress in just a couple of lessons. Hooray!

Wilson goes to work with his Mom every day at Martin's German Service. Isn't he lucky?! Today we worked on greeting customers without jumping (off), sitting for pets (stay), and remaining in one spot while mom is busy (place). Wilson earned a gold star!🎖

Hazel is a cutie-patutie but can also be loud and bossy. Can anyone relate?!

Hazel's mom is diligently doing her High Hopes homework in order to teach Hazel better manners with her parents and guests. We are already seeing progress after just two lessons. Hooray!

Please help us find the perfect home for Bella. She is two-years-old, 60 pounds, healthy, spayed, LOVES KIDS, and LOVES DOGS. She is currently living with her grandma, but is not getting the exercise and stimulation that she needs as a young, active dog. She is crate-trained and house-trained. After just two lessons with Hope, Bella knows sit, down, place, look, touch, and stay. Please contact Angela at 540.510.5169 or [email protected] for more information. References and a fenced yard are required.

These gorgeous pups have officially started their Canine Good Citizen training. They have come a long way since they started working with High Hopes Dog Training! I am so happy to be having this class in my backyard, so that Mooshi, Perfectly Imperfect can participate, too!

Teddy and his mom are getting better and better with their loose leash walking during our private lessons. This is a difficult skill to teach humans and dogs, so it takes a lot of concentration and repetition. You know what I say, "Practice makes progress!"

Here is Chimi (short for Chimichonga) and his dad learning "look". Look is an easy way to get your dog's attention, redirect their focus, and help calm them.

Check out Ruger and his dad practicing waiting for permission to go out the front door. Ruger usually drags his dad out the door before going on a walk. This is much safer and much more polite!

Eight-week-old Charlie worked on bell-training, touch, sit, and come at his first private lesson today. What a smart, little pup!

Ellie & her mom practice "Leave it" with treats on the floor. Nice job!

Costume party for Puppy Kindergarten!

Copper is a 6-year-old beagle/bassett hound mix who gets soooo distracted by odors along his walk. Today, we walked in the middle of the street, away from the grass. Copper's mom is tossing treats in front of him saying, "Get it!" This keeps Copper moving while he targets the treats. Success! #hound #hounddog #hounddogs #Scenthound #beaglesofinstagram #bassetthound #dogtraining #positivereinforcement

Bristol and her mom are now adding distance to "PLACE". They will be using this cue to help Bristol: --calm down when a guest arrives --leave her older sister alone when she's done playing --relax on her bed instead of counter-surfing Nice teamwork!

Our Beginner Obedience & Good Manners students working on HEEL and SIDE SIT. Nice work!

Annie is an 8-year-old hound dog. Her mom, Sarah, adopted her from the Roanoke Valley SPCA two and a half years ago. Annie had been in at least 4 other homes before she found her forever home with Sarah. ❤️ As you can see, they are doing awesome as they work on good manners, leash reactivity, and impulse control. Way to go!

Check out Maple and her dad learning "PLACE" together. This cue is perfect to keep your dog calm when guests arrive, to keep your dog off of the couch or away from the table while you're eating, and to provide your dog with a spot to calm themselves down.
