For Cici’s car anxiety we have gotten creative! Trainer Emma has been using a lot of props outside the car to work on the skills she will need to ride comfortably in the car

🚙 Climbing the ramp

🚙 Settling in her bed

🚙 Getting in a confined space

Now moving the props into the car to aid in her transition! These steps take repetition, patience, and a lot of positive reinforcement. Cici is doing great though!

Who has a dog with car anxiety??

South Creek Park itself is a great open area with a playground to walk around and have fun with your dog, BUT if you walk down the stairs behind the park there is a nature trail to enjoy!

The South Creek Park Loop is paved, but the trail itself is dirt as you see in the pictures, so you may encounter bikes and other dogs walking 🚴🏼‍♂️

Remember to follow park rules, and always clean up after your pet!

Client Spotlight 🌟 Rico

Rico, is the small black dog, who has been working on his reactivity and confidence around other dogs. Here he is taking a walk with Trainer Emma and her big dog! Rico was brave and calm around him!

Rico actually came to group class with his sister, but they were so barky they couldn’t finish. Now they have been individually working on their training, and are ready to try group class again!

Teach your dog the look command 👀 look is a really important command, and foundational for any advanced training!

Before giving the verbal command, you first capture the behavior and reward it - that is this process!

Once your dog is getting this step you can start adding the verbal command ‘look’

Fun breed fact 🐾 Despite being nicknamed “Min Pin” these sassy pups aren’t actually miniature versions of Doberman Pinschers!

The Miniature Pinscher is actually an older breed that originated in Germany to hunt rats. These fearless little dogs were called “King of the Toys” for their proud, confident strut - talk about big personality in a tiny package!

Leave your best puppy tips in the comments 🐶

One of our favorite puppy tips is - create a “puppy zone” instead of trying to puppy-proof your entire house at once. Set up a smaller, totally safe area (like a sectioned-off part of your kitchen or living room) where your pup can hang out when you can’t actively supervise. This not only keeps them safe but helps prevent them from developing bad habits like chewing furniture or having accidents in other rooms

Fun Frenchie Fact ⭐️ Despite their muscular appearance Frenchies actually can’t swim! Their top-heavy body structure, short legs, and flat faces make it physically impossible for them to stay afloat. This is why they need to wear doggy life jackets near water and why responsible Frenchie owners keep close watch on them around pools or beaches

This unique physical trait is a direct result of the breed’s carefully selected features during their development in the late 1800s, when lace workers from Nottingham, England brought their toy Bulldogs to France. The French fell in love with these little dogs and selectively bred them to create the distinctive bat-eared, compact-bodied pups we know today.

That being said, Frenchies have created a good deal of controversy in the dog world as well! With a surge in their popularity, folks have noted many persistent health issues. We hate to see any animal suffer, but also understand the allure in their incredibly endearing personalities.. There truly is nothing else like a Frenchie. What do YOU think about them??

Public Obedience Training has many benefits for you and your dog 🐶

• Real world proofing - your dog is learning to follow commands with real distractions, and their training will become more reliable

• Enhanced socialization - exposure to diverse situations and learning how to remain calm in those different environments

• Building confidence - successful interactions boost dog’s self-assurance, and developing resilience to environmental changes

• Owner education - you learn how to read your dogs body language more, and get to practice timing and technique

And these are just a few of the benefits to expanding your dog training to public settings! We offer a Real World Obedience Group Class if you’re interested in practicing more of this with your pup!
