LEARNING IN REAL TIME 👏 Ever been curious of what a training session looks like from the POV of a HeroicK9s trainer? Here, Enzo and his mom are working on the foundations of an engaged heel. This is an advanced obedience skill focusing on engagement with the handler, fluid motion, and the ability to keep the dog in the heel position no matter what direction you turn. Small challenges like these are what build strong relationships between dogs and their people, and successes like these are what build trust between teams and their trainer! Thanks to the hard work of Enzo, his mom, and our head trainer Jaye, these advanced skills are fun, rewarding, and quick to build.

HOW SWEET IT IS 💛 #FurballsFUReverRescue alumni Otis (formally known as Noodle), is doing amazing in his new home! Otis joined our #TrainToHome foster program as a crazy and energetic puppy struggling with jumping, nibbling, and pulling on leash. He stayed with us for about three months learning obedience, house manners, leash walking using a Gentle Leader, and how to play safely with other friendly dogs. Now, Otis is an amazing companion for his mom and loves to get attention from the whole family though strangers quickly become his family too 😂 We're so happy to see Otis thriving, and will continue to help his mom upkeep his training with refresher appointments as needed.

COMMUNICATION IN REAL TIME ☯️ When your dog is exposed to a new challenge, do they follow your guidance or do they do their own thing? Breaker, our head trainer's #protectiondog, is frequently asked to do "weird" things for confidence, trust, and relationship building. This playground was fully new to him, and the "walk" command was new as well. You can hear Breaker's frustration in his barking and whining, but the success happens anyway! With a big reward at the end of the complicated request, he will be much more likely to finish similar tasks faster in the future. Wish you & your dog could communicate seamlessly no matter the situation? Contact us today for help solidifying your relationship with your dog! 🔥🐾 + + + #dogtrainer #sandiego #workingdog #germanshepherd #offleashtraining #ecollar #confidencebuilding #behaviormodification #caninetherapist #gsdofinstagram #k9 #dogtraining #socaldogs #ppd #bitework #sandiegolife #traineducatetrain #sandiegodogs #reactivedog #queerowned #smallbusiness #dogtrainingsandiego

LUCKY IS A WATER DOG! 🐬 We took advantage of the last days of summer weather to take Lucky and the other boarding pups to the beach! Little did we know, Lucky loves running in the sand and spent over 20 minutes swimming and enjoying the breeze. Despite being surrounded by people and other dogs, Lucky had an amazing time and was able to rely on his trust in our head trainer, Jaye, to alleviate any insecurities he felt during the outing. All the work towards his rehabilitation is really paying off! If you're looking for a lover who just wants to be by your side and explore the world with you, Lucky is your guy! Come meet him, and the other #adoptable dogs from Furballs FURever Rescue at the @sdshelters Mega Pet Adoption Event on 10/19 from 11am-3pm at Grossmont Center Mall in La Mesa. See you there 🏖️🐾 + + + #dogtrainer #caninetherapist #sandiego #adoptabledog #takemehome #nervousdog #shanderin31 #killsheltersurvivor #beachday #socaldogs #chowchow #muttsrule #goodboy #sandiegodogs #behaviormodification #dogrehabilitation #socalliving #smallbusiness #adoptme

ADOPT A GOOFBALL 😁 Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel? We have your guy! Cooper is a 2-year old #GreatDane mix with a heart of gold. He is dorky, playful, funny, and always ready to join you on whatever adventure you have to offer! After being bounced around for almost a year, he is more than deserving of the stability and permanence that a forever family would provide. Cooper needs an active home, and would do well with someone who is retired or works limited hours. He is crate trained, potty trained, and knows all of his obedience commands. While he loves a great run, Cooper's favorite pastime is throwing his toys in the air and zooming around like a looney toon! Cooper will need an owner who is committed to meeting his physical & mental exercise needs, as he's a big boy with a LOT of love to give! If you're interested in learning more about Cooper, or would like to set up a meet & greet, send us a text at (619)393-8349! 🐕🐾 + + + #adoptme #sandiego #reels #fosterdog #dogtraining #socallife #mixedbreed #rescuedog #goodboy #sandiegodogs #caninetherapist #reactivedog #instagood #obediencetraining #dogrescue #adoptable #sandiegoweekend #takemehome #reactivitytraining
