Share to find Jackson a Forever Home
It’s finally time! After having Jackson for a few months we’re finally ready to transition him to his forever home. He has grown a lot in confidence and had a successful, temporary holiday foster experience. A new person, and a completely new environment but he did extremely well adjusting. This was our greenlight and his final test. This boy is ready for a family to call his own (although we are in no rush to place him). We are willing to take the time to find the perfect fit that will allow him to be his best self! Although he’s small, cute, and cuddly, boundaries and rules allow him to be a confident and loving companion. If it’s all cuddles and snuggles, he will revert back to a fearful, insecure dude. We are here to help teach you how to bring out his best! If you are a person or know a person who is a good fit and will provide an active and engaging life, feel free to reach out! We think he would be a fantastic dog for trick training, flyball, lure coursing, and an introduction to herding (he has shown that his breed treats really shine with this being an Australian Shepherd cattle dog cross). If you have questions reach out! Also please share this to reach as many people as possible. We know his perfect match is out there waiting for him!
Merry Christmas From the Wagmore Graduates! We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
Have you heard the myth, that training makes your dog robotic? Well it’s just that - a myth. Having your dog under control allows you to give them more freedom to be themselves. Like I tell my clients, you can let your dog be goofy, silly, and crazy as long as they listen when you tell them to stop. There’s a time for jumping and there’s a time where it’s inappropriate etc. Having an “on and off switch” is the key to having a dog that enjoys life as well as a dog that you can enjoy without being a victim of their happiness.#danvilledogtraining #danvilleva #danvillevadogtraining

On average, you will have 10 good summers with your dog. How are you spending them? Could training help you to enjoy them more with your dog? Or maybe training will allow you to include them for the first time. As this summer comes to a close, look back and see what you think. Training gives you the skills and resources to not only take your dog with you, but to enjoy your time together. Let’s make the next one count!
Perks of having a trained dog- you can enjoy watching them run free without worry! They will come back when you call!
Time really flys by in these board and train programs! We get a lot done and the dogs get so many new experiences! Doc just wrapped up his board and train program and is ready to take on new adventures at home! At only 6 months old he is set up to be the perfect sidekick. We can’t wait to see where life takes him! #danvilledogtraining #danvillevirginia
Does obedience training mean you can’t have fun with your dog? Does it mean they have to be a robot? What do you think?
Our graduates group class teamed up with ONE FIT K9 for an afternoon full of fun. Part of our dog days of Summer July program- training graduates have the opportunity to learn about activities with their dogs beyond day to day obedience. This Saturday we entered the splash zone and each participant got an intro to dock diving! You would never think that many of these dogs came to training with issues like biting, human aggression, dog aggression, extreme fearfulness etc. Creating a healthy relationship with boundaries, consequences, and rewards made days like this possible.
Each dog and owner had impeccable manners with all the craziness going on and also had a blast themselves! Yes it’s possible to have both!!! ( But you can’t have one without the other!)
It’s a fact, Summer is way better off-leash!
Training is so much more than sit, stay,come. Being able to do life with your dog is what people are really looking for. Although all of our graduates are fantastic with their basic obedience, it doesn’t just stop there! Learn to do life with your dog! Take them along with you! That’s what training is for!
Graduate perks- Dog days of summer!
Starting off July with a group hike for our graduates
