Hello ladies✨ it’s been awhile since we’ve seen the ladies Savannah and Roxy! They are doing so well! Mom took a little trip to the city and I had the pleasure of spending a snowy day in with girlies! We watched some cute Christmas movies and played outside a couple times🎄

How I’ve missed Mr. Cooper! In our session we did a nice nail clipping! Then tackled on a new project… a ball launcher! We’re teaching cooper to place the ball in the machine along with backing up so the ball doesn’t hit him when it’s being launched! He’s doing amazing! 🐾✨

Another great lesson with Kobe! I could not be more proud! We worked on solidifying an out command by playing a game of 2 toy! We worked a bit on targeting the ball instead of the owners hands! thanks for the amazing tug! We also worked on some recall exercises! And tackled some desensitization of the vacuum! Overall a fun lesson!! ✨

Absolutely an amazing half lesson with this cutie Lorelei ✨ We did a bit of walking in the halls with her owner working on a leave it, reinforcing loose leash walking, auto sit when her owner stops, and greetings with people! We accomplished a lot in a little bit of time! We also worked on our elevated surface exercise to help with some self control, distance, and duration!

Kobe had a great lesson the other day! His owners were already seeing improvements from our consult! I gave them a few exercises to do and they stuck with it! This lesson we focused on leash walking and timing for rewards! We worked in a leave it command! We also built in some duration training by using an elevated table! Fantastic job done by a fantastic boy 🐾

Schatzi was back after a little break from our last lesson!
✨While on a leash / even off your dog feels all your emotions! Stay calm in situations. Trust your dogs✨
She has been doing amazing! Her owners were able to take her camping and walk around a touristy areas with little to no reactivity!
Our lesson the other day consisted of reintroducing the car to Schatzi in a different manner. She is constantly pacing the car and whining in her owners ears! So we worked on just being calm in the car to start. Baby steps… we reward when she became calm! Eventually after just being calm she offered us a sit then a down! She caught on quick!
Inside we’re still working on her greetings still!
We also are desensitizing her to the outside environment by rewarding calm behaviors while looking outside. She loves to chase squirrels and jump at the door to get outside to them!

Hiya paw friends! Kobe and his family are joining the training family! ✨ They took advantage of our free consult for November and we spent a little over an hour discussing their training goals! We will be working on brushing up on basic obedience working in those 3D’s of training (distance, duration, distractions)! We will also we working on leash walking, jumping, desensitizing Kobe to the vacuum / rake, and distractions to people and other dogs! We will also be teaching Kobe some manners when it comes to playing! Very excited to start working with Kobe regularly! 🐾

Sweetie pie Lorelei had a half lesson with her owner the other day! We worked on some self awareness skills by using a stepping stool! Lorelei is working on boundaries including not jumping on guest, not demand barking for treats, and the 3D’s in dog training including distance, duration, and distractions! Our big goal given her owners age is to reduce pulling on the leash especially on her way to a controlled doggy play date!

Lorelei and her owner are such a pleasure to work with! What a great lesson with great weather!
We worked on jumping when greeting people in the hallway. Took her to the pup pen to work on her pulling on the way out there. And we also worked on some dog reactivity while a dog was passing by. We also started building in an auto stop so when her owner stops walking she will sit next to her! We also did a nail trim! 💕🐾

✨Welcoming the newest face on the block Lorelei🐾
This little one is 30 lbs of fury! She is making a transition from big living with a huge backyard to run to an apartment complex! She has been excellent. However, we are going to be working on some reactivity to other dogs, gentle greetings cause she’s a jumped, and walking on a leash a bit better! She has a minor fear of her owner using a walking stick to help her balance so we are creating a positive association on and off leash to the walking stick! She has a demand bark as well that we will be addressing as well! 🐾✨
