Daisy, a three-year-old miniature Schnauzer, is learning good manners with Ms Hope, especially when friends come to visit. We are all happy when our friends visit, but Daisy actually screams with joy and excitement! 😄 Going to her "Bed" when there's a knock on the door gives Daisy the chance to adjust to a new person in the house while giving her some distance to help her calm down. Once Daisy has settled down some, then she can greet the guest. This requires a lot of impulse control for Daisy and lots of practice for Daisy's parents.
You know what we say, "Practice makes progress!"

Enzo is a handsome one-year-old Presa Canario/Great Dane mix. He has worked with us in both group classes and private lessons. As Enzo is getting older and bigger (!!!), good manners and good listening are very important. Enzo is practicing greeting people without jumping, coming inside when called, and getting into the car on his own. We're seeing improvements because practice makes progress!

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

Sadie is learning to be calm around other dogs instead of lunging and barking at them. We spent 30 minutes with helper dog, Finley, and his mom getting closer and closer while keeping Sadie focused and calm. Sadie and Finley ended up relaxing about three feet apart from one another. That's the best Sadie has done so far in her training! Practice makes progress!

Look at those ears! Six-month-old Layla is learning all of the things that adolescent puppies need to learn: impulse control, calm greetings, controlled play with human siblings, a signal to ask to go potty. Layla is super-smart and learns things quickly. With these lessons and some maturity, she'll become a well-mannered member of the family very soon!

For those of you asking me about the agility equipment: I will be using the equipment over the next month as I finish up classes, so it won't be for sale anytime soon. Once I'm done using it, I will be keeping most of it. The extra stuff I do sell will be offered to people in the order they contacted me. (I've had about 20 people message me about it!) Right now, my focus is on clearing out the center by Friday morning. Thanks for understanding.

It’s ! 💚💙

Mutt is sometimes thought of as a negative word, but there is nothing wrong with being a mutt at all. Any dog that isn’t 100% one recognized breed is technically a mutt, or also referred to as a mixed-breed dog.

Mooshi wants to see lots of pictures of his fellow mutts out there! Let’s see ‘em! 🐶

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.

Mooshi, Perfectly Imperfect and Coco are enjoying the snow! Show us your pups in the snow!

Puppy Playtime!!

First time trying "stay" at the front door with ALL THREE DOGS, Cassie, Bruce, and Pepper!

It's chilly and rainy in Roanoke today, but your pup still needs exercise. Throw on a flannel, grab your umbrella, and go for a walk!

Happy Wednesday! I'd like to share some insight from Mooshi, Perfectly Imperfect about his recent playdate with a new friend. Mooshi plays HARD and often bites during play which can make the other dog feel nervous and/or defensive. He does not need any "let's get to know each other" time. He goes all out immediately! For many dogs, he is too rough. Since Moo is deaf, I am unable to him feedback verbally while he's playing. I have to be close to him, and he has to be looking at me in order for me to communicate with him. We have been working on more eye contact during play and the ASL sign for "easy/gentle". As you can see in the video, he did so well with Gracie with very little feedback from me. --Hope ========================= I played with a new friend named Gracie yesterday. Mom was happy about a few things: 1. I didn't guard the rope toy that I saw in Gracie's yard. A few months ago, I would have claimed that toy as my own and snapped at Gracie if she was near it. 2. I realized that Gracie was a little uneasy about some of our play. She showed her teeth and was whining, although I didn't hear that. I rolled around in front of Gracie, showing her my belly to let her know that I was playing and didn't want to hurt her. 3. I gave Gracie space. When Gracie needed a break, she moved away from me to lay down. I did not pounce on her or stand over her. Instead, I stood in front of her and did my little play moves to invite her to play some more. When she didn't get up, I gave her a little nose kiss, and moved away. Mom was very proud of me! She told me I am growing up and learning about impulse control and how to read the body language of dogs I meet. Hooray!

🐾🎉 Woof woof! The countdown is on, and we can't hold back our tail-wagging excitement! 🗓️🎓 New dog training classes start this Saturday, September 23rd, and we simply can't wait to unleash our potential! 🐶💡 It's time to put our best paw forward, learn some pawsitively awesome skills, and bond with our fellow furballs! 🐕🐩 Register at www.high-hopes.net or email [email protected] with questions.

On the last day of Saturday's Intermediate Obedience & Problem-Solving Class, we set up our agility equipment and let the dogs experience something new. The excitement reached its peak during a challenging relay race where both teams had to go through the course twice! The relay race showcased some of the skills learned over the course of the class, highlighting not only the dogs' newfound skills but also the strong bond between the dogs and their owners. If you are interested in learning a new set of very useful skills such as “Place”, "Heel", and “Leave it”, our next round of Intermediate classes start on Saturday, 9/23.
