📣 Courtesy post

Sweetie is a 3yo 1/2 staffie 1/2 pitbull mix. She is a compact dog at 36 lbs and would love a forever home where she can work or hunt!

She’s good with kids and dogs, although excitable at times (but she is not dog aggressive). This pocket pittie is very friendly to everyone- hence the name! Unsure on cats. When a tenant was evicted from their rental, they left this girl behind. She was taken in by the local police department and then fostered by an officer and his family who have done an amazing job nursing her back to health, as you can see by the before pic!

Sweetie knows sit, wait, is house & crate trained, and has a good recall (reinforced with the e-collar). She plays fetch with a ball or stick for hours on end and likes a tug and spring pole. This gem is very very trainable and would be a fantastic barn hunt dog or search and rescue/detection candidate… or anything where she can run and hunt! Sweetie is spayed and up to date on all vaccines.

If interested or if you have any questions about Sweetie, please call Jesse at (805) 657-2288.

We know a great senior and special needs rescue, Crusty Crew, who lost the majority of their foster homes due to The Line Fire evacuations and, knowing the financial strain a catastrophe like this can cause, we took in 8 of their dogs at no charge to the rescue.

We have already fallen in love with their amazing pups and wanted to feature one of them here! If Wink doesn’t win you over in less than 60 seconds, you’re not human. 😂 He is a 5-year-old cutie who is missing one eye, but makes up for it with twice the personality. He audited Roger’s group training class and mastered the “place” command like a pro.

Sadly, they still have 23 dogs in vet boarding and also another kennel where they are being charged a daily rate. If you’d like to help, we’ve set up a fundraiser to help them get through this tough time.

Group training with Roger every Wednesday at 7PM!

This type of training teaches you and your dog the mechanics of obedience: sit/stay, down/stay, down from a distance, return to sit, heel on a slack leash with automatic sit, come command, and place. It's a great way to master the basics, brush up on socialization in a controlled setting or just give your dog something fun to do on a Wednesday night. 👍🏼

Roger’s classes start tonight!

It’s been a minute, but group classes are back and Roger will be teaching this cycle. There are some clients who have attended group training for a whole year, as it helped to keep them and their dog sharp, socialized, and engaged. Don’t worry- you don’t have to commit a year of your life if you don’t want to… but we dare you not to want to. 😁

Give us a call to join Roger for group training: 714-547-5047.

07/02/2024

We hope you have a very happy and enjoyable 4th of July!

If your pet is scared of fireworks and gets anxious- panting, shaking, and trying to get away from the noise- you still have time to schedule a vet appointment. Sometimes, prescription meds are needed. Other times, closed windows, doors, and white noise, etc. is enough. Be safe and have a great holiday!

Rowan, a gorgeous 4-month-old tri-color Collie, and his wonderful mom are on private lessons #2. They’re starting to work on a focused heel and Rowan is a natural. 😘 We offer board and train programs, private training lessons, and group training classes. Let us know how we can help your pup become a superstar! 📱 714-547-5047 #dogtrainer #dogtraining

Roger worked with this newly rescued pup who was fearful and reactive towards cars, bikes, and strangers. So much progress!

Proofing your dog’s #recall gives you both ultimate freedom! 👍🏼 #dogtrainer #oc #orangecounty

We couldn’t tell you who started the myth that you should greet dogs by extending your hand to their nose, but we can tell you that every dog trainer alive lets people know that’s not the proper way to meet a new dog. 😅 This is an example of how dogs greet each other: two altered males being off-leash together for the first time. To understand how to interact with dogs, it’s helpful to understand how dogs interact with each other. Can you see here how the GSD responds when the Malinois approaches for a “butt check” -x- head-on? #doglanguage ’#dogtrainer

“Come” should be fun! Who’s going to continue to come when called if it doesn’t lead to great stuff? 🎉 Roger worked with Midge and her foster mom, one of whom is available for adoption. 🤍 To learn more about 10-month-old Midge, check out her rescue: @lolrescue #rescuedog #dogtraining #dogtrainer

Roger practices all sorts of real life scenarios in his group training sessions. Whether it’s teaching your dog to stay calm and controlled while greeting other people (who also have dogs) or staying composed while walking past numerous dogs, he’s got you covered. Something noteworthy is that not all of the dogs in group are dog friendly, but those dogs learn the most! #grouptraining #dogtrainer

Happy Sunday. 🙌 #dogtrainer #oc

#dogtraining #doodle

Teaching “come” or “heel” is so important! ⭐️ First, we start off with a 6’ leash and teach the command using treats as a reward for moving towards us- positioning isn’t highly important for the first couple of attempts, because you’re rewarding the act of moving towards you. Once they understand the movement, you fine tune the positioning. When you’re good on a 6’ leash, try a 30’ leash! This will be fun and give your dog more choices to make, so you might be working on a 30’ longer than you spent on the 6’. Always make it fun and reward your dog for moving towards you, now giving treats after they’ve achieved the correct position. They should hold that position until you release them (we use the word “free,” meaning the dog can choose what to do next). After they have mastered the 30’, try the command while they’re off-leash, but in a fenced area. In this environment, you can proof the command and see what more needs to be done. The goal is to have a dog who is so thrilled to come/heel that it becomes more important than roaming the neighborhood due to a door that was accidentally left open, etc. Practice and you are guaranteed to get results. If you need help, we’re here for you! 👍🏼 yourdogtrainer.net

“Place” is one of the most useful and versatile commands that you can teach your dog! Imagine a dog who is happy to relax and knows how to turn “off.” Imagine that, instead of barking at the door whenever someone visits, you can say “place” and your dog will go to their bed. It’s all attainable. yourdogtrainer.net
