Let’s talk about dog breeds. I’d like to start some discussion and this will be the first of a few posts discussing dog selection. Every breed falls into a specific class, and understanding your dog’s breed traits can play a big role in shaping your training and lifestyle. Here are the breed classes:

• 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Bred for controlling livestock.
• 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Bred for hunting and retrieving.
• 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Bred for guarding or pulling sleds.
• 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: Bred for hunting by sight or scent.
• 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿: Bred to hunt vermin.
• 𝗧𝗼𝘆: Small dogs bred for companionship.
• 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: A diverse group that doesn’t fit into other categories.

I’d love your help and involvement in this! Please answer these questions in the comments:

1. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺? (If you have a mix or rescue, feel free to answer based on the breeds you’re aware of or your best guess!)
2. 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼?
3. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲?
4. 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻?

𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: Research the history of your dog’s breed and share something new you discovered. Even longtime owners are often surprised when researching their breeds history!

Power team here. This was just our second session! A great relationship exists between these two and this is critical with powerful breeds.

Authentic play is key to building a relationship with your pup! If your dog isn’t paying attention to you…start by being more fun!

I see it all the time—people getting dogs as gifts. It seems like a thoughtful gesture, but the truth is, dogs aren’t just cute presents. They’re a 10+ year commitment in time, money, and care. When you give someone a dog who isn’t prepared, it can quickly turn into a stressful and overwhelming situation, for both the person and the dog.

By the time the reality sets in, it’s often too late. A dog might be a year old, unruly, and in a worse situation than if they had been placed in the right home from the start. This is why dogs should never be given as gifts—the right home should be chosen with care, not based on a spur-of-the-moment decision.

I may just repeat this every week until Christmas: dogs aren’t gifts.

Hey everyone, it's a wild world out there—stay safe. Consider spending some time teaching your dog the "leave it" command or to ignore food items they haven’t been given. It's a simple step that can make a big difference. Stay vigilant! 🐾

The PA Game Commission is warning hikers and dog owners of treats found containing metal fish hooks on the Appalachian Trail in Washington Township.

🌟 Congratulations to Ryder and his owner! 🌟 This clip from our recent follow-up lesson shows just how far they’ve come. Ryder is walking nicely by his dad’s side, giving him glances and staying attentive—exactly what we strive for in our training.

It’s amazing to see the progress and the strong bond they’ve developed. Keep up the great work!

The other day, I arrived early for a training session at a local park. I spent some time working with my dogs. Once they were settled and cooling down with some water in the van’s AC, I started handling some admin tasks.

To my surprise, I noticed my client was already there, actively engaging with her dog. She was setting up training scenarios on her own, practicing impulse control, and off-leash commands.

It’s impressive to see the initiative and dedication. From my perspective, the effort she’s putting in is paying off. These training moments aren’t just about obedience, they’re also key bonding times between a dog and its owner.

This kind of commitment enhances our sessions and significantly improves a dog’s behavior and bonding with their owners.

Here’s to all our clients who go the extra mile. Your hard work is shaping beautiful relationships!

🌿🐾 Attention dog owners! As businesses ramp up w**d control, it’s crucial to be cautious of where your pets tread. Not all areas use pet-safe chemicals, and it’s not always clear which spots are treated. If in doubt, better to keep your pups away from suspect areas to prevent any risk of exposure. Let’s keep our walks safe and enjoyable! 🐶💚

🎓 Meet graduate Romeo! 🎓

Romeo just wrapped up a few weeks with us, learning to walk nicely on a leash, control his emotions around other dogs, and manage his impulses during play to reduce nipping. His owners are keeping the momentum going with a new slat mill at home to keep him active and fulfilled.

Catch a glimpse of Romeo in action on the slat mill in the video below. He’s on the fast track to a well-behaved future! 🐾✨

Big shoutout to Sable on completing her basic training! This energetic girl has made leaps and bounds, especially with her greetings and self-control. We introduced the “place” command and other techniques, laying a solid foundation for her continued progress. Huge thanks to her owners for their dedication through this journey. Sable’s still on her way to perfecting her manners, but the improvement is clear. Keep it up, Sable! 🐾
