Big Leap of Faith Dog Training & Services

Big Leap of Faith Dog Training & Services Big Leap of Faith is named after my two original Pit Bulls.

Big Leap of Faith offers private lessons, group classes, board & train, working through undesired behaviors, as well as the opportunity to participate in group walks. I have always had a passion for dogs and dog training but it was not until a 4 month old Pit bull came into my life that I knew the love I had for training came in all breeds and sizes.

Today is 14 days of Roo being here! We have eight more days left and those days we will be focusing on duration and distractions in much busier environments. She truly is the sweetest girl.

Ms. Roo had a great brisk walk this morning working on heeling, recalls and stays. We also went to Kingston Park on our walk and went on some playground equipment to help build her confidence. She definitely has confidence and is now taking treats that aren’t as good from me! Rogue is also teaching her the ways.

Yesterday and today we have worked on being in heel next to me while walking and having freedom to be in front. Ms. Roo is a bit more responsive to me.😁 It doesn’t always mean she eats the treat I offer but I do give her pets!

Roo arrived last night for the start of her board and train.  Her owner adopted her about four weeks ago and because she's traveling for work she thought this would be a great opportunity to do a little training. Roo is likely six or seven years  and appears to be an easy-going girl just has not had much training.

We went for a short walk last night and a walk this morning to help ease her in and hopefully she'll make some friends here.

Looking forward to the next three weeks, where she might actually think I am cool and pay attention to me when I say her name.😁

I think one of the best things of doing a board train with BLOF is that they are always welcome back for boarding and during that boarding time the owners pay the boarding fee, but the continued training is free. I welcomed back Millie this weekend and let me tell you she's still a bundle of energy!

Monday night date night was a lot of fun! The dogs started out working their minds with some puzzle games and the owners formed two teams to play family feud! We had top dogs against fluffy butts and fluffy butts won by a bit of a landslide! All questions were dog themed!

In the BLOF household, we are on a mission to master holds, and I'm excited to see the pups progress! I am working with Saya, Yuuna, and Rogue, each at their own level, and celebrating their unique progress along the way.

Saya's just starting out, and my goal is to encourage her engagement with the object. It's amazing to see her learn that touching the object earns rewards, making her the happiest pup.
Yuuna's relearning this behavior, and we're shaping her skills to increase duration.
Rogue has already mastered the basics, and we're expanding her skills to hold various items, like buckets, while walking.

My approach is all about empowering them to want to grab the item. We keep sessions short, ending on a high note after 2-3 successes. If you're new to this, I encourage you to give it a try! If you would like more detailed guidance, let me know!
