🏡Your backyard doesn’t look like ours — and that’s exactly why in-home dog training matters!

Every home has its own sights, sounds, smells, and distractions. Training your dog in their real environment helps them learn faster and behave better where it really counts — your living room, your backyard, your neighborhood walks.

In-home training lets us tailor every session to your dog’s unique needs and your family’s lifestyle! 🐕🐾

Happy Monday everyone! It’s another !
👉 Today’s Tip: It’s OKAY for your dog to be bored!
Let’s be honest, sometimes we all just need a day to do nothing, a full day to just reset. We like to call these mental health days, and we ALL need them from time to time. But I think we can all agree, we have all looked at our dog on one of these days andfelt the guilt. We understand, but DON’T feel guilty!!! Dogs do not need constant stimulation. Being bored is part of life. It will teach your dog to settle on their own, prevent dependency, and help teach patience and calmness in everyday life.
Think of it this way: Not every moment of your day is exciting — same goes for your dog!

🐩 No two dogs are the same, and their training shouldn’t be either! 🐾
Every dog is different. Some are shy. Some are bursting with energy. Some pull on the leash, bark at the family of squirrels outside your window, or forget their manners the second someone walks through the door.
We believe in training the dog that’s in front of you. When we work together, we come to your home, get to know you and your dog, and create a plan that fits your life. Whether it’s teaching the basics or behavior rehabilitation, the goal is always the same: calm, tranquil dogs and happy humans!

💥🚨STOP!! 🚨💥
Have you ever walked into a crowded room and felt your chest tighten? Too many voices, too much energy — your brain scrambling just to stay calm?
Your dog can feel the equivalent in a public class. There might be other dogs, people, different treats, maybe you’re outside so there are even the dreaded squirrels! 🐿️ Your dog isn’t necessarily ignoring you, they’re overwhelmed with everything happening around them.
Public classes are full of distractions and make it quite challenging for your dog, and you, to stay focused. In-hometraining allows you and your dog to stay focused and, to a degree, manage the number of distractions. Once you and your dog are comfortable in your home you can slowly begin advancing your training and work around distractions but always make sure you have a solid foundation first!

👉 Today’s Tip: Physically vs Mentally Tired
Did you know there’s a difference between mentally tired and physically tired? Most dog owners focus on physical exercise- walks, playtime, running- all of which are great! But it only wears out the body, that brain is still going 90 miles a minute! Mental stimulation is just as important! There are many ways to provide mental exercise, below are a few of our favorites!
✅ Puzzle toys
✅Nose/Scent Games
✅Training sessions- teach new tricks or build upon existing commands

🎃🐾HAPPY HALLOWEEN🐾🎃

Halloween is all about costumes, candy, and a few spooky surprises — but for our dogs, it can also mean doorbells ringing nonstop, strange sounds, and lots of overstimulation.

The truth is that behavior challenges don’t just show up during training sessions — they show up during real-life moments like tonight.
That’s where in-home training really shines:
🔶We work in your dog’s real environment
🔶With your unique routines and challenges
🔶For results that make everyday life easier- not just during the training sessions
If tonight feels a little chaotic (for you or your pup), you’re not alone — and we would love to help!

🏡 Still on the fence about trying in-home dog training? 🐾 We understand that many do not know the benefits to in-home training! Thats why we are sharing every week reasons why in-home dog training is more effective for you and your pup!

This week we are talking about the route of behaviors. Good or bad, most behaviors start at home. They’re shaped by what your dog experiences daily, in the environment where they spend the most time. Working in that environment, we can see what triggers the behavior. Once we understand the root cause, you and your dog can work as a team to correct the issue!

👉 Today’s Tip: Just because you are awake and doing things doesn’t mean your dog needs to be!
There are several times in a day where we have a lot of things to get done. Just in the mornings we have to get ready for work, maybe get kids ready for school, eat breakfast, make sure we are ready for our whole day. This time is stressful enough without your dog being underfoot. During this time, it is OKAY for your dog to be on a bed following a “place” command or in a crate patiently waiting for their breakfast. Dogs are of course our companions, but they don’t have to be in the middle of everything we do in a day!

🏡 Happy Wednesday Everyone!! 🐾
Last week we brought up that in-home dog training can be more beneficial than public classes. We mentioned that dogs do not translate behaviors like we do but there are still many other reasons as to why in-home dog training has the upper leg!
Just like us humans, dogs learn where they are most comfortable. When a dog is relaxed, their brain is more open to learning. They can focus, listen, and retain new behaviors. This is also beneficial to you, the handler, as you and your pup work together as a team! Once those new behaviors are mastered at home you can begin taking your dog to new environments and testing out your skills together!
