Excited to announce that Re*****on and I are headed to Oregon this April to complete our Intermediate Wilderness Tracking and Trailing course with Jensen Huffman of Huffman K9 Obedience.
This course will take place in the Mt. Hood National Forest for 3 days with 8 dog/handler teams.
Excited to be out tracking with my dog, camping and learning from some of the finest trainers in the country, but first we must prepare the logistics of getting from Maine to Oregon with a dog, camping and SAR (search and rescue) equipment and all the necessary paperwork for flying. Here we go Ms Remdog on our next adventure. ❤️🐾🏕️

Let’s give a round of applause to this handsome boy Grit.
Grit is a young Cane Corso with lots of power behind him and weighing in at over 100 lbs, his jumping, pushy behavior and dragging his owner on a leash were not fun.
After completing our 4-week Basic Obedience training, Grit now understands how to behave correctly, is great on the leash and is such a fun dog to be around.
Well done to both Grit and Lindsay! You both worked really hard.👏

So funny 😆

Here's a helpful tip for this evening ... and every evening. You're welcome. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂💙🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️

This handsome Rottweiler named Oak is in for fear reactivity training and was terrified of going to the vets. Today he nailed his dry run and first visit to the new vet clinic at Kindred Spirit Vets in Orrington. No growling for this boy today…well done Oak.

06/07/2023

Let’s congratulate Sirius and Rebecca Hansen for completing their 4-week training. When I first met Sirius, he was not a confident dog and very fear reactive. In fact, he greeted me with teeth snarling, all his back hair standing up and lunging at me with a stiff body. Becky could not have guests over due to his growling and snarling and walking him down the street was unmanageable.
We put Sirius to the test, and he’s now a much happier dog that Becky loves to walk and neighbors and friends are able to come over and visit.
This handsome boy has gone from a 100+ lbs fearful to fun loving dog…well done Sirius! You worked hard and passed every test I put in front of you.🐾❤️

Let’s welcome Grit to Rocky Ridge Dog Training Academy. Grit is a 2 year old Cane Corso weighing in at 130 lbs here to complete his 4-week basic obedience and socialization. ❤️🐾.

Let’s welcome this handsome boy, Oak to our 4-Week Board & Train program. Oak is a 1 year old Rottweiler with a fun and friendly disposition.

About the Breed
The Rottweiler is a robust working breed of great strength descended from the mastiffs of the Roman legions. A gentle playmate and protector within the family circle, the Rottie observes the outside world with a self-assured aloofness. A male Rottweiler will stand anywhere from 24 to 27 muscular inches at the shoulder; females run a bit smaller and lighter. The glistening, short black coat with smart rust markings add to the picture of imposing strength. A thickly muscled hindquarters powers the Rottie's effortless trotting gait. A well-bred and properly raised Rottie will be calm and confident, courageous but not unduly aggressive. The aloof demeanor these world-class guardians present to outsiders belies the playfulness, and downright silliness, that endear Rotties to their loved ones. (No one told the Rottie he's not a toy breed, so he is liable to plop onto your lap for a cuddle.) Early training and socialization will harness a Rottie's territorial instincts in a positive way.
