To sit nicely to ask for what he wants
To walk nicely on-leash
To play nicely with children and other puppies
To greet other dogs appropriately
To meet strangers politely
To travel to new places confidently
Stress-free Crate Training
To behave nicely in the car
Chew toy training for bite inhibition and to prevent destructiveness
at home

Daylong Socialization helps puppies to meet and interact with all types
of people and dogs so your puppy does not become fearful as an adult.

Yesterday we stopped at Marin County mart to discover koi, turtles, and practice walking through the mall with Maisie, a 9 mo old lab puppy in our Teen Tune-Up Program and Moose, a 14 week old Bernese puppy in the Jumpstart Program.

As each puppy walked;

Past people,
Other dogs,
Children with food (that was interesting)

I was reminded of how awkward and challenging adolescence is for puppies and how much more socialization and support they need.

Our NEW Teen Tune-Up Program is for puppies 6 mos - 18 months.

Come visit our NEW Sensory Garden! Open House coming soon.

We’re building something very special: a custom Sensory Garden designed just for our pups and we’re taking you along for the journey.

This isn’t just landscaping. Every element, from the flowers to the water feature, has been thoughtfully chosen to support your puppy’s sensory development. The soft trickle of water, the textured paths, the natural smells, it’s all designed to create calm curiosity and confidence.

Because enrichment isn’t an afterthought. It’s the heart of what we do. 💛

Follow along to watch the transformation and stay tuned as we add more sensory magic, step by step.

🐶✨ that sniffing actually tires your puppy out? It’s a lot of brain work. 

Nothing is more engaging than using a puppy’s innate ability to “find it” with his nose. Join us at Hillary’s Hound House to explore exciting scent work activities that boost confidence and a love of learning.

Our goal is to create stimulating environments and transformative experiences that encourage your puppy to explore, solve problems, and play. By engaging their natural desire for exploration and experimentation we help boost confidence, instill great manners, and strengthen their bond with you.

Ever wonder what a puppy sees? 🐶👀

What is it like to race on four legs through tall grass or follow your footsteps through a crowd? What a puppy sees is radically different from our own bird’s eye view, and this frequently surprises people. To understand your puppy’s unique point of view, take him shopping for dog toys and watch his eyes open wide, his nose curiously sniff, and his sense of wonder at all the sights and sounds of your everyday life. Sharing his excitement is the place where you connect, slow down, and drop into the moment. 🩷

Congratulations Tuesday on your graduation! We are so proud of you, and not just on Tuesday💖
