The Pooch Pros

Congratulations to our latest graduate, Miss Willow. Willow participated in our board and train program to enhance her listening skills and recall while her family completed their relocation. During her three-week stay, Willow acquired the ability to remain calm, thereby improving her listening skills. Her return home was highly successful, as she remained composed amidst multiple workers completing tasks at the residence. The atmosphere was reminiscent of a Home Depot store due to the ongoing construction, yet Willow remained calm throughout. We are extremely proud of her accomplishments.

Kudos to these two French Bulldog girls who recently completed an extended board and train program with us. Rocky, the brindle-coated Frenchie, was initially a handful, often chewing on crown molding around doors and windows, as well as furniture throughout the house. Walking them was a challenge due to Rocky's tendency to bark and become aggressive towards other dogs, prompting June to follow suit. Achieving even a moment of stillness from Rocky seemed impossible. However, through our dedicated training and guidance, these pups have undergone a remarkable transformation. They can now enjoy peaceful and happy walks, and Rocky has become calm and composed indoors, responding well to their owner's commands. We are incredibly proud of their progress.

Happy Tails to Sully. This incredible boy embarked on a transformative board and train journey to unlock his full potential and master obedience training. Sully's affectionate nature once led him to greet people with unbridled enthusiasm, often jumping on them. We empowered him to discover the profound impact of calmness and focused listening. Though he still gets excited, Sully now knows that politeness is key to forming meaningful connections.

Happy Tails to Saint. This Rottweiler puppy was enrolled in our obedience training program. He is a gentle giant with a strong desire to interact with everyone. Initially, Saint exhibited overly energetic behavior, including jumping on people and pulling on his leash, making walks challenging for his owner. Through dedicated training, we taught Saint to calm down and relax. While he still experiences occasional bursts of puppy energy, he has become a significantly calmer and more manageable companion for walks.

This beautiful boy has a special place in our hearts. He had a tough start in life and had developed some people aggressive behaviors and anxiety. He can still be stubborn, but he has learned how it feels to relax and just enjoy being a content family dog.

Happy Tails to Teddy. This big, beautiful boy spent nine weeks with us and has emerged as a calmer, more confident, and obedient boy, a true testament to the power of perseverance and dedication. Teddy's journey began with a rough start in life with his original owner, who struggled with health problems and setting boundaries, leading Teddy to believe he was the ruler of his world. But when his owner passed away, a kind friend stepped in to provide a loving home. By then, Teddy had developed some aggressive tendencies and anxiety, but through tireless efforts, we've helped him work through his anxiety, and in the process, we've fallen deeply in love with this strong-willed boy. While Teddy still has a way to go on his healing journey, his remarkable progress is a shining beacon of hope, and we couldn't be prouder of him!!

Happy Tails to these two cousin dogs. Sophie, a Westie who once struggled to listen, has undergone a profound transformation. Walking her was once a daunting task, but now she walks with purpose. Whiskey, a young Golden Retriever puppy, was remarkably calm, yet still yearned to master the art of stillness and impulse control. After two weeks of intense training, they have emerged with a newfound understanding of basic commands, leash training, and potty training. Whiskey has also flourished with crate training, while Sophie has made tremendous strides in recall work. Though their journey is far from over, they have taken monumental leaps forward, and we are proud to have played a part in their growth. Sophie now walks alongside her owner with ease, a testament to her remarkable progress.

Congratulations to Jeffie, our latest board & train graduate! Jeffie, a two-year-old female Goldendoodle, has made tremendous progress in developing her listening skills. With our guidance, she has become more attentive and responsive. Living with three small children and two kitty cats can be distracting, but Jeffie has learned to focus. We worked with her owners and their oldest daughter to help Jeffie understand the importance of listening. She did fantastically with their daughter, demonstrating her newfound skills. Jeffie, we are incredibly proud of you!

Congratulations to Birdie on her successful training. This 1 1/2 year old lab mix spent a significant portion of her life in an animal shelter until she was adopted by a compassionate family. Due to her sheltered upbringing, Birdie lacked essential life experiences and training. Her family enlisted our services to provide board and train instruction, focusing on addressing her hyperactive behavior. Initially, Birdie struggled with constant motion, poor listening skills, and leash pulling. Through targeted training, we improved her name recognition, recall, basic commands, and leash etiquette. Although Birdie was easily distracted at first, she gradually became more receptive to instruction. After a two-week training period, we returned Birdie to her family, noting significant improvements in her calmness and willingness to listen. She demonstrated the ability to sit still and remain focused, providing a solid foundation for future training.

Mac, the lovable eight-year-old Husky, just graduated from our board and train program! This blue-eyed cutie had some, ahem, 'quirks' - like aggression and not listening. His walks were more like thrill rides, with him pulling his owners along like they were on a sled. But we whipped him into shape, and now he's a model citizen. His owners are all set to keep him on the straight and narrow.

Wishing you & your fur babies 🐕 a Happy Thanksgiving week!

Best wishes to Bear. Our training focused on refining this Black Lab puppy's domestic behavior, listening, and leash manners. Initially, he exhibited intense pulling and constant jumping at home. After a month of board & train, Bear returned home today, displaying improved calmness and responsiveness to his owners' commands.
