🎉 A big round of app-paws for Beau and his amazing parents on graduating from our Top Dog training program! Over these past few months, Beau has not only nailed loose leash walking and polished his meet-and-greet skills but also tackled reactivity and stranger danger with remarkable success. 🐾

If you’re eager to see similar progress with your own dog, we’re here to help! Connect with us today to start your journey towards a well-trained and happy pup.

Beau is enjoying this beautiful evening at the park while working on his engagement and focus in a high-distraction environment.

Training in real-world settings is key to helping dogs like Beau stay attentive, even with so much going on around them. By practicing in different environments, we’re building his ability to listen and respond, no matter what distractions come his way!

Consistent practice and positive reinforcement are the building blocks of a well-mannered, confident dog. Keep up the great work, Beau! 🐾💪

🐾 Win Wednesday! 🐾

Training takes time, and progress might seem slow sometimes, but it’s always worth celebrating! Miss Jade started out with a lot of fear and anxiety, but we’re thrilled to see her growing more confident and curious with each lesson. It’s important to celebrate all milestones, big or small—even her increased comfort around her trainers or finding a new toy that she loves and that can help her decompress. Jade’s journey highlights the power of patience, dedicated care, and reward-based training. Keep shining, Jade! 🌟

🐾 Win Wednesday with Beaumont! 🐾

Tonight at Walker Johnston Park, Beau showed incredible progress with his loose leash walking and reactivity. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, he stayed cool, calm, and checked in with his dad regularly. Proud trainer moment! Keep up the great work, Beau! 🎉

Vet visits can be stressful for our pups, but with a little preparation, we can make the experience much more enjoyable! Here’s how we ensure Oliver’s visits are positive experiences:

Lick Mat or Enrichment Toy: We always bring a lick mat or another favorite toy to keep Oliver entertained and relaxed while we wait.

Favorite Snacks: Treats are a must! We pack his favorite snacks to reward him and share with the vet.

Fear-Free Vet: Choosing a fear-free vet makes a world of difference. Their patient approach and calming environment help reduce anxiety and stress for both Oliver and us.

Bonus Tip: Schedule “Happy Vet Visits”! These are non-medical visits where you take your dog to the vet, give them treats, their favorite plushie or an enrichment toy, and let them explore. This helps create positive associations and makes them feel more comfortable in the space.

Remember, a happy vet visit today leads to a healthier, happier pup tomorrow! 🐶💕

Huge shoutout to our star student, Anubis! This week, Anubis went for a run with his dad and stayed right by his side, all thanks to training, consistency, and their hard work in and outside of lessons. No more getting dragged behind—just enjoying the run together!

Today, we observe National Pet Fire Safety Day, a reminder to ensure our beloved pets are safe in case of a fire. Here are some essential tips to help keep your pups out of harm's way:

1. Create a Fire Escape Plan - Include your pets in your family’s fire escape plan. Designate an exit route that’s easy for them to navigate.
2. Identify Your Pets - Make sure your pets have proper identification. Microchips and collars with ID tags can help reunite you with your pets if you get separated.
3. Keep Leashes Handy - In case of an emergency, keep a leash near the exit so you can quickly grab it and secure your pet while evacuating.
4. Install Pet Alert Stickers - Place pet alert stickers on your windows or doors to inform firefighters that pets are inside and where they are located. Make sure to update them as needed.

Training Tip Tuesday! 🐾 Did you know repeating your cues can confuse your dog? If you say ‘sit, sit, sit,’ they might learn to only sit after the third time! Instead, say the cue once and wait for them to respond. Consistency is key!

Happy Fourth of July! 🎆 As we celebrate Independence Day, remember to keep your furry friends safe and calm during fireworks. Here are some tips to help keep your dog safe tonight:

1. Keep Them Indoors: Make sure your dog stays inside where it’s safe and secure.
2. Create a Safe Space: Set up a comfortable and quiet area for your dog to retreat to.
3. Use Background Noise: Turn on the TV or play calming music to help drown out the fireworks.
4. Stay Calm: Your dog can sense your anxiety. Stay calm and offer reassurance.
5. Tag and Microchip: Ensure your dog’s ID tag and microchip have up-to-date information.
6. Prepare Special Treats: Have an enrichment toy like a stuffed Kong or Toppl ready to distract and help soothe your dog.
