Loose leash walking with plenty of foot traffic and distractions. We love to see engagement between the dogs and their owners! 🐾
Figure 8 leash walking while a dog held a place in the middle!
He’s a spicy one today 🔥😂
The crew from yesterday 🐾🥰
Some loose-leash walking practice for Nobie today!
We adore this little dog! Full of spunk and enthusiasm 🎉
Wesley a 5 month old Mini Goldendoodle.
Countless things to be proud of today!
Sam the St Bernard and Sophie the black GSD attended Club for the first time today with their owners!
A huge thank you to Emily for helping guide the first part of Club. Emily’s dog, Winter the Pitbull, did the majority of the exercises today off-leash 🤯
We also had fun helping out Utah’s Schutzhund Club by providing a safe space for their members to train their sport dogs near other dogs and people.

Heeling with 5 month old Wesley today at the park 🥰
90% play and engagement, 10% obedience behavior 🥳
Engagement is the foundation of training. You can never work on this enough. Practice in low distracting areas, so the environment sets your dog up to begin pushing you to train with them. Working with you is a privilege - free food, your undivided attention and play!
Recall with Rey! This team has worked so hard over the past 2 months. Training done well, in a kind and fair way, takes time. We promise you the results and the relationship you build with your dog are worth it!
Three dogs at a time took turns holding a sit or down while their owners weaved among the entire group. In this session it was Archie (poodle mix), Sophie (German Shepherd) and Nobie (terrier mix).
Holding a sit around plenty of distractions 🐾
One team loose leash walks while the other team holds a sit! We couldn’t do what we do without all of our members. Thank you to each and every one of you for putting in the work. 🥰
Thank you Rachelle for helping guide a part of Club this morning!
In this exercise the dogs had to hold a sit away from their owners, while one dog at a time heeled past them. The dogs heeling had to then weave around people while maintaining a loose leash. Club is there to give you ideas on what to work on at home, a safe place to work close to people and other dogs, and to see where you and your dog are struggling the most. We want to see our members progress every week. Keep training between AV Club days! 🐾
Recall with Rosie!
We focus on building healthy and fulfilling relationships with our dogs. We want them to work with us on their own accord, and have fun while doing it!
Nobie (small terrier) held his sit until he was called, even after Winter was recalled first. We’re so proud 🥰
