Remember Hartford?
She had a rough start, and was unsure about people.
Here, you can see us working through her Stranger Danger and building a trusting relationship with someone she was initially afraid of.
Hartford is my foster dog, and she is currently available for adoption! If you are interested in adopting Hartford, message me today!
How does your dog feel about getting injections?
We highly recommend everyone train their dog to be more comfortable with injections. Not only will this reduce their stress during routine vet visits, but if your dog ever needs regularly injected medication, you will already be ready.
This was an important skill for Toby to learn. He get's weekly injections for his allergies.

Not every dog likes being brushed, especially when it comes to the tail and ears.
But did you know you can teach your dog to be more comfortable with brushing?
While they may never love it, you can help your dog tolerate being brushed, and reduce the stress to both of you during brushing sessions!

Have you heard the words "cooperative care" but aren't sure what that means or how it could help your dog?
This term describes training your dog to be a willing participant in their care! This means teaching them to allow bathing, nail trimming, tooth brushing, and more.

We are celebrating our specially abled dogs today.
Just because a dog is "different", does not mean they need to live a life in bubble wrap. If you have a unique dog, you can still train them, walk them, and provide fun enrichment games for them. In fact, they may even enjoy it more than your "normal" dog!
What have you done to make your specially abled dog's life special?

Mowgli recently graduated from AKC Fit Dog Level 1! #CanineFitnessMonth
In the obstacle course you see him utilize a variety of equipment:
-Cavaletti poles: increases limb awareness by having dogs lift each limb individually and really think about where they’re walking.
-Balance pad: by targeting his front feet onto a balance pad, Mowgli’s weight shifts to his back legs and creates a balance challenge for his front legs.
-Klimb: by stretching on an inclined Klimb platform Mowgli stretches his back legs/groin area as well as his back and neck!
Mowgli and his parents did so well in Level 1, and we can’t wait to see where they go throughout their training!

A chin rest can be used for so many things, we feel that every dog should learn this!
