I debated if I should put this on the main grid or just a story, but every time either of us comes across it, it cracks me up. 😂 even with the doggy goggles on and being asked to balance on a funky shape, Schatze is happy to be doing fun things together. We repeat and repeat and repeat, consistency creates depth and when you find yourself in moments like this you can see how far training can take you. Weird scenarios are fun moments together.

Happy Dog Day! Drop your pup pics here

Ok last one before our regularly scheduled program of German shepherds 😅
My childhood dog had several quirks that I assumed was a generalization of every dog and only special dogs could do more than her, ie: lay down on command, play fetch and bring the ball back, not beg at the kitchen table. When I met Jess and saw her personal dogs and met client dogs I realized all those “specialized skills” she lacked weren’t her fault, but that I didn’t have confidence in my training. I’ve spent the last several years building my training muscles and it shows through what I’m able to accomplish through my dogs.

If your dog has a habit you don’t believe can be resolved, send us a message and we will see how far we can go to teach them all the “specialized skills”.

Welcome to our page! This is a short version of who we are and a little about us. I’ve made this the “Meet the Team” post including all the graphics for each of our pairs. The full write ups are in the individual posts that were made the week of February 18-23 2024, if you want to go back to read our full story!

02/24/2024

For the last post of the “Meet the Team” series is our “humans'' pair! (I crack myself up writing these, I get my sense of humor from my mom). Jess and Katiebeth met during the start of the pandemic and about a year later moved to San Antonio and started Tandem Canines Training Company. Tandem shouldn’t exist, as meeting during a pandemic and moving back to San Antonio with only our families , could have halted a lot of things from progressing. Nevertheless we are here, thriving, and making a name that we are proud to share and claim as our own.
Jess is talent that is rare to find, and rarer to get to work in as close proximity as she has set up. From childhood she has understood dogs both in a literal sense of what they’re saying, to a deeper meaning of how their brains think and process. It gives way for work to be done with dogs that have been deemed hopeless by others and rehabilitated back into their families and close circles successfully. She is full of life and works to give the best chance of success for every dog she meets.
I (Katiebeth) have always been an animal person, and looking back it makes sense I absolutely would be in charge of managing a dog training company. Younger me would think this is so cool, and I’m inclined to agree with her. In our own pack I appreciate the diversity and commitment each dog brings to the home and I want that for all animal families. In learning how to run a business and the management aspects of what comes with that I’ve grown a great deal. I’m in awe of what we’ve accomplished thus far, and I know we’ll only continue to grow and build out going forward.

02/23/2024

Fourth post of the week and We’ve made it over the halfway mark! Thank you for continuing to interact with the posts and leaving your comments, they mean the world to us. As another ask will you please interact with this post so the algorithm continues to show our posts and we don’t get put in shadow jail?
Our last canine pair is affectionately dubbed “The Littles”. Spinach is a Pomeranian that is 5 lb fully grown (exactly the size I wanted, crazy enough). Zucchini is her younger but also larger sister that is 11lb fully grown. She’s the one you’ll get to cuddle as she melts into whoever is holding her, as Spinach prefers to be admired from afar (she will blow off everyone for me -KB-, I am sorry about that, it’s really not personal). They are a great pair and team that are already running the house and are our small dogs for training the dogs that need work with small dogs.
Their favorite routine is following us around in the house while we tidy, move about, and checking over everything they can observe (ankle height and below).

02/22/2024

Third Post of the week introducing “The Girls”! They are the newest editions to the group and haven’t been formally introduced here, but if you’re a current client, they’ve probably been at a lesson or two. Ember is our firey protection dog that is high drive and high demand in everything she does. She’s proactive in observations and knows who is in her pack, and she’s not afraid to keep what is her’s safe.
Schatze on the other hand is “just a baby” [her words], and only wants to be spoiled and cuddled 24/7. She’s nicknamed Koala Bear as she will slowly creep up your side and hold on to you just hanging out, happy to be standing around with you. They’re pretty much polar opposites, but that makes the best sisters.

02/21/2024

Second Post of the week continuing our Meet the Team Series! Our “Shepherds” pair (not the most original I know) named for our German Shepherd Dog pair.
They are in fact Not related in any way, as Rerek is pure Czech lines and Achilles eastern working lines and DDR. Also they are exactly a week apart. (Achilles is older and he acts like the older brother). We weren’t expecting to get shepherds after our last pair passed so close to each other (3 weeks apart) the summer of 2021, but we quickly realized we needed our shepherds back. Both are walking in the pawsteps left behind with Rerek being a demo, sports, and service dog just like Wolff was and Achilles being a phenomenal sport and service dog with a love for doing everything just like Alue.
Please give this post a like so the Algorithm doesn’t flag up uptick of posting as a negative!

First post of the Week! Starting off are the updated graphics for our “Meet the Team” series. It's been a while since our last one and we've grown up and out in our pack.
First off is our “fancy boys” pairing, as what else do you call two high-maintenance grooming dogs that keep my grooming supplies in active use! While they are a pair that prefers to play with each other and are closest in age (Brahms being about 3 months older) they lead different day-to-day lives.
Melog is the most active out of all our dogs in the winter time accompanying Jess to most training days and working either in his regular vest, or galaxy harness. He holds quite a few titles and it shows in his obedience, with how levelheaded he is with all his interactions. The summer is his off-season as his dense, black coat makes working in the heat not possible, and he’s kept with Brahms inside.
Brahms is a being all of his own, and we are grateful we get to watch him go through life and be a part of it. Anything you think you can do with him, he looks into your soul, tells you “absolutely not” and then in the sweetest voice asks if he can go and run in that nearby field. With the pack dynamic, Brahms gets to live an off-leash life when out in nature, as he will always come back. (Don’t get me wrong, some of the times coming back are because the shepherds are herding him, which is truly hilarious and also one of Achilles’ part-time jobs of Brahms wrangling). He loves saying hello to people but in the sighthound manner of standing up on his back two legs to be at eye level with you which can be jarring as he’s already a Large dog, but becomes enduring once you take a minute to get to know him and his quirks.

✨ Attention! ✨
I (Katiebeth) have been working on updating graphics behind the scenes for our instagram and website and this is the week it all comes together. With any redesign there is careful consideration on theme, branding, and vibes, and creating a cohesive image across the board has been a delightful challenge. At the end of the week the final details will fall in place and I hope you love it as much as I do. Enjoy this week’s posting and if you feel so inclined, please interact (like or heart) with each day so the algorithm doesn’t shadow ban me for posting too frequently and flags this as Spam. I promise it will go back to the regularly scheduled twice a week posting after this!

Pack walk recap incoming from this past weekend, stay tuned to see the stars of this past walk!

02/12/2024

Rerek’s all grown up! There are many benefits and freedoms that come from having an adult dog for both dog and human. Rerek can now jump at standard heights for all high impact sports (agility, dock diving, and more), and gets more freedoms in where he can travel with us, both in endurance and safety. We’re able to trust him with more responsibility and tasks that he’s more than happy to take on. Yay for adult dogs!

02/09/2024

Muzzle conditioning isn't just for aggressive dogs! Our working dog, Ember, is as comfortable wearing one as any other piece of gear, such as shoes, goggles, or collars. As Ember is in training for Schutzhund, being muzzle-conditioned in public spaces is a standard part of her training. While we trust Ember to make the correct decisions and choices, being a responsible owner of an intense dog means taking these precautions. She is a stable dog and often assists in our training sessions each week and we love seeing her in all her different gear!

02/06/2024

When we say practice “Place” anywhere and everywhere we mean it! While working with a client at their house, Melog and Spinach stayed in the car with with open doors and stayed there for the training session. It’s a necessary skill needed for our dogs and job, but for your dog it can be a wonderful way to have your canine with you without being the focus of your outing.

Happy Sunday! ☀️
Due to the freezing weather, all lessons will be postponed until the temperature rises above 50°F (10°C) to ensure the well-being of our furry friends and our head trainer. Meanwhile, check out our latest blog post for indoor enrichment activities and training games to keep up with your dog's training and prevent cabin fever.

Last summer Achilles was attacked by an off leash dog and was unreliable out in public. 16 months later, he is back to being the dog he was before the attack but during that time he was pulled from all public work and spent the summer at the house. With him being a working dog, he needed to do something to work his brain, but wouldn’t trigger him. that’s when we found both him and I excelled in trick dog training and within a month had up to the advanced title. So much of his foundation work made it easy to get the novice and intermediate titles and the advanced had us working together together each afternoon, learning and putting together new skills. his full routines are posted to his page @achilles_of_the_gods if you want to check them out. Trick dog training is a really great way to keep learning new skills with your dog that are fun and easy for the both of y’all. #tandemcanines #tandemcaninestraining #sanantoniodogtrainer #dogtrainingsanantonio #satx #dogtraining #satxdogtraining #sanantonio #groupclasses #bexarcounty #balancetraining

Advanced obedience is all fun and games until you get the wrong Simon Says command 😆 at the end of this training sessions the humans were having more fun to see how fast the “fast” walk could be, to who could be the slowest “slow” walk. The dogs were troopers! #tandemcanines #tandemcaninestraining #sanantoniodogtrainer #dogtrainingsanantonio #satx #dogtraining #satxdogtraining #sanantonio #groupclasses #bexarcounty #balancetraining

We got to occasionally brag on our own dogs, as they do some pretty incredible things. Achilles is running next to a mule cart and holding a 13mph run for over a mile. This was done after having taught him the skill of running along side a bike and solid communication with Jess. He had a blast and the reward of watching our dog accomplish great things makes all the difference.

Nala at the end of her training showing off her down/stay during a busy afternoon at the shops at La Cantera! Even with people and dog distractions, Nala kept her cool and recalled beautifully when asked. Nala went through our basic obedience and a few extra sessions for resource guarding, but through training is now is able to accomplish outings like this!

What a year 2023 was! So full of change, learning, and wonderful trainings. This is a highlight of some of the special moments we captured on camera with dogs we’ve had the privilege of working with. Here’s to the continued work and growth of all our canine companions in 2024!

New Year’s Eve 2023

Puppy basics! Bo Peep is just starting out in her training journey and while she has big things in store, it all starts with luring around cones. In the simple exercise, she learns to: follow her human’s movements, move around obstacles, and build a vital relationship that will last a lifetime.

For our higher drive dogs, we played Advanced Fetch. Throwing the ball tires them out physically, but when the ball is hidden in tall grass, it makes them slow down and use their nose to smell out the ball. This “hunt” took them just over a full minute to find, and with the reward being the ball at the end, it’s a pack favorite. A tired dog (physically and mentally) is a happy and content dog! Give it a try with your dog this week, and see the difference at the end of the play session!

Running back from our trip to the woods! We are alive and well, just reflecting on this past year and taking some time to go about our day to day lives, dogs and all.

Everyone give this post a like or heart, because John and Jennifer deserve all the acknowledgment for their dedication to their dogs Luna and Artemis. Their dogs are their family members and I’m in awe of how far they’ve gone in training and building a happy and healthy pack (humans included).
