Six month old hound mix 🐾 BO**ER 🐾 has only had two lessons and she is already developing a good foundation for Come, Sit and Down. We trained her big brother 🐾 BEEF 🐾 a couple years ago. We are always so happy to see multiple generations of dogs come back for training!

Between our serious name, online posts and relationships with several local vets/rescues, we have managed to build a reputation for working with dogs who have major behavioral issues. The truth is we love to work with dogs from all walks of life. Our private lessons are not just for major issues. They are a great fit for dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments. Take Ginger for example. She is a six month old Mini Bernedoodle. Sweet as pie and loves to work. After building a solid foundation for the basics, we are working on longer duration for her commands. Here is a sneak peak at her lesson.

We had 2 graduates so far this week.

4 month old doodle 🐾 Archie 🐾 finished his basic obedience with a wonderful walk around our partner Paws and Claws Pet Care, Inc.'s facility.

5 year old Pit 🐾 Khloe 🐾 finished 6 sessions and was able to go for a walk past her arch nemesis on her street.

We loved seeing their progression over the last couple months and great job to all of their owners!

2.5 year old mixed breed 🐾 Huckleberry 🐾 just finished his final lesson! He came in with poor walking skills and reactivity towards other dogs. By lesson 6 he made friends with Slim and NAILED his obedience at the canal. Wonderful job Huck and family! I couldn't be more proud.

There was a point in time where 🐾 Moose 🐾 the Pit was "unadoptable" due to reactivity towards strangers. Thanks to the hard work of his foster family from Operation Freedom Ride, inc. and a little training from Critical Canine, he has found his forever home. We recently met with his new owners and can confirm he's been absolutely wonderful!

Jack Russel mix 🐾 Knick 🐾 is in lessons for some pretty extreme fear. It's so great to see him come back each lesson more confident and able to cope with new situations (even though it's really awkward calling a dog by your own name 🤣).

4 year old Yogi came in with some intense reactivity towards dogs and people. Over the course of 5 lessons we have worked our way up to working in heavily populated places. He handled it like a champ! Go Yogi! 💪🐾

That "out" though!

Here is a little follow up to Petey's last video. For certain dogs, it's crucial to know how to play with them properly. That usually includes a good "out" command.

A leisurely walk is not always enough stimulation for a high drive dog. They WILL get bored and they WILL look for something interesting to do. That is why we take breaks to play/interact with them on walks. You can't make certain behaviors (like chasing) go extinct, but you can point them in the right direction.

We can show you how to make yourself and a toy more valuable than that squirrel or bird.

Happy boy Milo is a 1.5 year old Pit mix who dealt with some severe anxiety and dog reactivity. His progression over the last couple months has been so tremendous that we decided to take a field trip to the canal. He is a whole new dog! Great job Milo and owners. 🌟💪🌟💪🌟

Throwback to 2019 at the Combat Veteran Seminar in Blue Ridge Texas. Thank you Nelson Hodges and Larry Krohn for opening my eyes to a whole different side of the dog training world. I'm definitely not perfect, but the growth I've had as a trainer these last few years all started with you. I look forward to continued learning and hope to see you again soon.

CHOCOLATE LAB FOUND IN BLOOMFIELD, NY. At roughly 11pm we found a Chocolate Lab wandering our property off 444 in Bloomfield. It is in a safe place for tonight. If this is your dog please reach out with it's gender and collar color. We will have no choice but to call animal control in the morning if we cannot find the owners. Thank you.

3yo Mini Doodle 🐾 Ruby 🐾 can get pretty worked up when she sees another dog. After a lesson on leash handling, it was all too easy of a fix. www.ccdroc.com 585 441 4735

Let's get real honest for a moment. Here at CCD, we are not about pretty videos and advertising. We are about results. Unfortunately, in today's dog training climate, we are forced to post content online to prove our worth and compete with the competition. Today I chose this video to post specifically because it is NOT flashy, and somewhat boring, but it shows what our training really is. Constant exposure and repetition. I'm more concerned about the dogs in front of me than the camera behind me. I am more proud of the dogs in this video than any likes or comments facebook can provide. Here you'll see Arthur the Doodle and Desi the 4 year old Terrier mix. Arthur is about half way through his 2 week board and train program, here for basic obedience. He came to us easily distracted and a little wild on the leash. His trainer Jill has done a tremendous job working him through the basics. Desi is on his last lesson of a 2 month program. He came in for extreme dog reactivity. To see him ignoring Arthur and focusing on play/obedience with his owner is so rewarding. This is just 2 minutes of the harmony we experienced in a 1 hour lesson. Walking, talking, training. That's it. Great job to Desi and his Owner. We may not be posting content on a regular basis but rest assured we are grinding, training, and building relationships with dogs/owners every single day. Thank you to the 400+ clients that have chosen us to train their dogs over the last 3 years. www.ccdroc.com 585 441 4735

🐾 Junie 🐾 killin' it with her nose after just 1 lesson. A couple notes about this video: - we should have been using a longer lead but worked with what we had at the moment. It would have prevented me from falling or from Junie getting away. - this is the exact reason we usually only use harnesses for working purposes. It is making it more comfortable for her to pull at what she is excited about, therefore reinforcing the behavior. - man, I'm out of shape. Great job Junie and I can't wait to see what she can accomplish next lesson! 🌟
