New cots! We’ve had a set for training and now one for each kennel!

10/13/2024

From our Sunday morning advanced obedience class! The half acre fended in field allows us to test the limits of off leash in a safe environment. Advanced obedience isn’t all about off leash though, it’s about refining commands, working on body awareness, and proofing skills. When you’re engaged with training, so are they!

10/11/2024

For training clients, come check-in in the front, but leave your canines in the car. We’ll grab them on the way to the training field!

We’re working to always have someone greet you in the lobby! Whether that’s human or canine, the doors will be open.
Feat. Melog and Achilles, Jess and Katiebeth’s personal dogs.

We’re all moved in! Based on all these smiles it looks like everyone is happy with this change 😁

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨

We’ve been *DYING* to share this news with you! Exactly two months ago, we saw the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to purchase an established boarding kennel, training field, and a home on the property. Well, TODAY is the day—we officially closed! 🎉 We’re hitting the ground running with managing, training, and gearing up for major renovations to take this property from *good* to *EXCELLENT*.

For those who know it as , stay tuned, as part of the renovations will be updating the name to match our company as Tandem Canines Pet Resort. This expansion means we can now offer more than just training—get ready for expanded boarding and even grooming services! We’re growing from a team of two to six right out of the gate, with plans for more. Oh, and we’ll be living on-site, so we’ll be right there, 24/7, making sure everything runs smoothly!

We owe so much to the incredible people who helped make this possible. First, to Rene at , who trusted us to carry on the work she’s put into this place for the last 18 years. Our families, for their unwavering support and faith in us to take on this huge project. And of course, to our amazing clients—thank you for your patience while we worked toward this dream. We promise, our gain is your gain too!

We are beyond humbled to step into this new chapter and can’t wait to finish the year on such a high note. Let’s go! 🚀

A few gorgeous shots of Ember and Jess working in the park the other day.

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.

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).

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!
