September is Responsible Dog Ownership month and we want to first talk about how to be respectful and mindful while walking your dog.
🐕 To ensure that our time and others time outside with their dog are peaceful, beneficial, and enjoyable, it’s important to keep a friendly distance and not approach others we may pass. Not all dogs (or people!) appreciate new people and pets in their space. Some have fears, trauma, are sick or injured, or simply want uninterrupted time outdoors.
🐾 Some ways to help create space while passing others can be -
🌱 Crossing the street if it’s safe to do so
🌱Switching your dog to the other side of you, so you can act as a barrier
🌱 Moving to the side and scattering treats in the grass

Enjoy a moment of peace (sound on!) with staff pups Reilly and Emori. 😌
Through some predation substitute and click to calm style training, these guys are able to calmly watch wildlife so we can all enjoy the elk herds and listen to the spring peepers. #Enrichment! And yes, we'll be going over skills like this in our courses, so hit that follow button and like for more!

We love a little "do nothing" work! Especially when we can multitask, like staff trainer Sydney getting to do some gardening during some passive settle training.

Have a moment of zen with Delilah today while she eats a kibble scatter (sound up for ASMR crunching)... Who needs that boring old bowl! Just toss the food in the yard! So much more fun, functional, and wow - look at this peaceful time you otherwise wouldn't have! 😌✨

There is more to mannerly dogs than obedience training... >>>
If you want your puppy to grow up into a dog you *enjoy* taking with you to experience the world... then yes, you have to put in the effort of training as they grow. But you also need to make sure you're honoring their needs as a thinking, feeling, instinctual animal!
It simply isn't fair to expect a dog to be calm, gentle, and mannerly if we aren't meeting their needs in the first place. And figuring out how to let dogs be dogs in a safe but fun and effective way is kind've our thing! So follow along as we build the perfect training program to help you and your puppy life the most fulfilling and rich life possible. Lots of updates to come, so join us on the journey!

Fancy training equiptment is nice, but you aren't taking all that gear on your walks! Nature offers plenty of opportunities for training, confidence boosting, and relationship building. A rock will do just fine sometimes. 🐾

Staff pup Emori is 8 months old and a joy to take around town! And when she finds gross things on the sidewalk... It ISN'T a fight to deal with it! Not something you usually hear about a teenage pup...
Watch trainer Morgan interact with her pup to get this dusty old rawhide Emori found beside a vets office out of her mouth and move on with their walk!
We're working on a program to help YOU get this kind of relationship, trust, and mannerly attitude out of your terrible teens too! Like this video and follow for more content and updates!
