Checking in on Wiley the Dachshund!
We have been making some awesome progress with this young fella! One skill we have been focusing on is a good reliable recall. 🙌
How do you start combating your dog's anxiety?
By literally teaching them how to be calm! This video will show you what we look for and how we start the process of learning to relax 😌
Checking in on Mary the Pug today!
This 1 year old pup has a wild nose and loves to explore her surroundings! Like most dogs, that nose and mind can get away from you😁 That's why we like to teach all of our students to come back to us, right in the beginning!
Mary has shown great success with this new skill. Her attitude is soft and her curiosity is beautiful 🖤 cant wait to see her progress more in the time to come!
Boomer headed off to the local park today to work on his skills! We practiced everything, including heel, down, tone recall, thresholds, and of course some free time to run around
Love the progress this smart boy has made ❤️🙌
The number one reason Boomer was put through our program, was to help with his anxiety towards the mailman! We were told he would "attact the molding on the door" trying to get out to the "intruder" . His behavior had been worsening and can often times be unpredictable. Causing a lot of havoc in the home he lives in.
Honestly, this is a totally normal thing to happen with a dog. Especially a working line herding dog such a Mr. Boomer. In this dogs mind, he is experiencing a lot of anxiety, stress and pressure. Feeling that he needed to do something about the possibility of danger. Unable to resist this oncoming challenge, Boomer has assigned himself a job😊
When it comes down to it, a dog will do what's right for the pack. If this behavior works and the mailman were to walk away? Well, then Boomer has done his job successfully!
Here, we are teaching Boomer that the job he once had isn't a priority. As the days have progressed, we have been setting up this scenario to build understanding and practice a new association. We have been able to take a lot of pressure off Mr. Boomer shoulders. Progress is always good, even if it takes time😊
Zeva the German Shepherd has been out on this beautiful day, working on her tone recall!

A quick peek at Remy's progress with grooming!!
One of Remys owners wishes is to be able to comb Remy when needed.. This is short clip of what we look for when we are working with grooming. Calm atmosphere, Calm state of mind, in a sit or down/stay, using reward (daily kibble).
Nothing fancy but we have definitely been making some progress😁
