I'd like to introduce you to Beau, the bernadoodle from Hico, TX. Beau came in with all the typical puppy and doodle issues. He is high energy, jumping on people, believing he's the boss, pulling on the leash, lots of barking, is very pushy, and a little defiant.
In the last 10 days, things have changed pretty dramatically. He's learned impulse control, to focus and pay attention, to follow human leadership, doesn't bark at all anymore, doesn't jump up, and has a nice off-leash heel.
Here is a training video from yesterday morning. This is his first sustained sit lesson outside. I did not capture it in the video, but we walked to the cul-de-sac off-leash, but on a long lead (which you can see in the video - it's used for safety purposes.) On the way back home we did downs, turns and more recalls - all without the direction of a leash.

Rehabilitating a fearful dog
Daisy (Patches) is making great progress in learning to deal with her fears. Due to incomplete socialization she was initially afraid of any place that didn't look like a park. She would get scared and try to bolt at the first sound of a truck engine, diesel engine, when walking places with things that have high walls or things up high, shiny floors, etc. After over a week of just working on getting her comfortable being in new environments, our hard work is finally paying off.

Distance recall
Shiloh working on sustained sit and distance recall. She wasn’t too happy about sitting there and barked at me when she felt I’d gone far enough, but she held her position.

Not to be left behind is Aldo, the German Shepherd from Waco, TX. This video has footage from his first and second Home Depot trip. He did very well.

And last but not least, Rusty, the springer from Austin, TX. Rusty is in for obedience as a precursor to gundog training. He's a young 6 month old pup who loves to investigate and put everything into his mouth!
Because he's going to be a flusher, we've modified things. Sit also has the command Hup and we've started Whoa and Hold training, some additional hand signals and soon we'll be layering on whistle commands all according to how his owner will hunt with him. I can only start these here, the gundog trainer will have to finish them with live birds. (Not something I can do in Austin.) Rusty is also going to get snake avoidance training tomorrow.

A quick update from Trixie from last week. She's showing her stuff and representing for all the Keeshonds!

We haven’t seen much of Luna lately, she’s coming along in her own time. Here is a short video from a few days ago showing her progression in stability and distance recall, and more or less offleash. Huge progress for her as she has quite a bit of anxiety.

Mickey in Home Depot with sustained sit and distance recall into a heel position
Congratulations to our big mama Montana! Montana is a super sweet lab from Austin, tx who had been mistaken as a GSP for some reason. She was rescued with 12 puppies by some big-hearted folks who were charmed by her loving ways and decided to keep her.
Unfortunately I neglected to get a picture of them with their grad certificate, so instead I'm uploading one of her training videos.

Short video of Winnie's progress from last week. He's made a lot of progress since then, but this shows what he's been working on the first week.
