Helping pups learn how to settle amongst their friends is something we love to teach them! Of course# there is plenty of healthy play time, but learning how to rest together as a group is just as important 🤍🐾☁️ 🌧️🌈This rainy day makes it extra cute and cozy around here🌈🌧️

When first teaching your pup “stay”, the training should be done OFF LEASH! This allows your dog to think and remember the cue stay all on their own without relying on the leash. Once your dog is successfully staying when asked, you can start to add more distractions, and build up their stay to longer distances and amounts of time by having them practice on leash. A few examples of when to incorporate the leash: 🚪🐾Working with door manners is a wonderful time to add the leash so your pup understands to stay with any activity associated with your door and guests coming in and out! 🪩🐾Playing a little too rough with a sibling pup or a friend? Start practicing placement training with a stay while on leash - just like I am practicing with 💫Cosmo💫 in this video! The key is a slow build, going at your pup’s pace, and incorporating every day distractions little by little. Remember! The longer your dog practices an unwanted behavior the more time it will take to teach him what to do instead!

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?!⛱☀️
