Imagine if we all said good morning like Igor?? ☕️🐾🥐☀️ A friendly reminder to be kind to one another.
PSA!! The dog industry is one of the most unregulated industries. This means no one is making sure that a dog trainer has any certifications, credentials or education before being allowed to work with dogs. Meaning literally anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. Hence why there is so much awful and sometimes abusive dog training information on social media. Dogs love us unconditionally, the least we can do is train them with kindness and never harming them.
Here is our 🐾🎥 pitch 🎥🐾to make the Barbie movie again but featuring only DOGS 🎀💕🛍✨
Best idea ever right??!!
Did you know that puppies having positive daily experiences is MORE important than training ☀️🐾
A dog is able to learn a cue at any age, but socializing an adult dog may be difficult depending on the dog of course!
Be picky and do your reseaech before bringing your puppy somewhere for training. Harmful training as a puppy can lead to life long behavioral issues, stress and fear.
Always get in touch with questions ☀️🐾🌼
Lua in her happy place aka her little dog 💦pool💦 makes us so happy!
We really love being a safe and happy place for your pups to stay while you’re away!
🤍☀️Here is a little peek on how we wake your pups up in the morning☀️🤍
We LOVE loving your dog for you whenever you need it!
Who doesn’t LOVE 🧸sweet senior dogs?! 🧸
This handsome good boy is one of the best….say hi to Jake! 👋 💙
Recall training aka having your puppy learn to come to you when you call him/her CAN BE LIFE SAVING. Hence why we train all of our puppies to 💓LOVE💓 coming when they hear their names called!
Just look at how eager little Toula is to come right up to me 🌸🐾🌈
🐾🌧What do we do when it rains??? Just ask this cute crew! 🌧🐾
Rainy days are like any other! Your pup still has access to the yard, but can stay 💛warm and cozy💛 inside too. Many of our pups forget it’s even raining when their pals are around! 🐶☔️🐶
A little break from the 🌧rainclouds🌧 only means one thing to our pups…
😎SUNBATHING!! 😎
☀️⛱Is anyone else ready for summertime or is that just us?!⛱☀️
We just LOVE teaching our puppy students how to settle together.
Teaching puppies how to be calm and relax around one another is JUST as important as puppy playtime.
Sorry for interrupting your afternoon nap Goldie, Toula, Pickles and Cooper🤍💤
🐾🤔What do our puppies do all day??? 🤔🐾
Just ask 💚Pickles!💚 Each day includes a healthy combination of…
💡📚training,
☀️👯♀️playtime and socialization,
😴🐾plus naps and belly rubs!
🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈
Aren’t ⭐️English Cream Retrievers⭐️ some of the CUTEST pups ever!! Just ask Bixby and Lua!💛
✨🌈Both of these happy pups are @thehappypuppy.school grads and continue to come see us for playtime! 🌈✨
We are feeling the ❤️LOVE❤️ over here! Spending the day by getting lots of puppy kisses and giving lots of treats!
💝🐾Happy Valentine’s Day🐾💝
🌼Easy like Sunday morning 🌼 with Maggie (lab puppy) Otis (golden boy), Kiwi (our cutie pie doodle). We are so happy to be able to provide a place where our dogs are able to REST.
Just like people, dogs that are overly tired can become a little grumpy.
Since we are a much smaller facility compared to your typical dog daycare, our pups are able to enjoy snoozing together in the sunshine. This helps keep all our dogs happy and healthy ☀️💛☀️💛
Here we are teaching the cutest
🌸Coco🌸 to have a positive association with her crate.
Crate training can be a game changer if it is a right fit for your pup
If your dog is showing high signs of stress like:
🐾Excessive panting
🐾Sweaty paws
🐾Peeing/or pooping in the crate due to stress
👏👏Then PLEASE do not force your dog to be crate trained. Every dog is different, and some find the crate a very stressful place to be.
Remember to always go at your dog’s pace!
We teach placement training aka
“go to your bed and stay” to all of our dogs because it is a great replacement behavior.
You can teach your dog
“go to bed and stay” to do instead of:
💛jumping on guests
💛begging at the dinner table
💛needs a little help settling
Of course it takes lots of practice and consistency to train your dog to be on his/her bed instead of doing the behaviors listed above, but your pup is very capable! Remember if your dog is doing something you don’t love, you need to show and teach him/her what to do INSTEAD!
Our pup parents always tell us “my puppy isn’t staying when I walk away..” We are never surprised by this, because advancing your puppy’s training too fast leads to a confused puppy 🙃🐾.
In the beginning of training stay, keep it short. This means asking your puppy to sit, do a quick stay with your hand signal and then within 2-5 seconds release your puppy from stay.
Give a tasty treat after you have released your puppy from stay!
Keep training fun for your puppy!
✨🐾Our 🥝Kiwi girl was torn between following the kibble trail and going straight for the human at the end! 🐾✨
💜Whether it’s treats or pets, she’s one happy girl 💜
We 💓LOVE💓 having our puppies interact with our adult dogs. This is so important to you puppy’s healthy development! And it’s even CUTER when they are little twins! 🐾🌼
