You know what is so underrated?

TRAINING AT THE VET.

Once of the best things you can do for your young dog is to train at your vet’s office. It’s not even super important WHAT you train, as long as you do something. Tricks, cooperative care, obedience, confidence building, it’s all just putting coins into your dog’s reinforcement bank.

Make the vet a happy place. Train at the vet!

A couple of our sweet board & train dogs posed for photos this weekend at a public dog festival. They were all so awesome! Many of these dogs were once very reactive toward dogs and strangers, and we saw lots of confidence all weekend long from these guys. We’re so proud!

As it sometimes happens in life, family challenges arise. We currently have a couple very sick grandmas that we are soaking up every last second with 💕.

During this difficult time, we may be asking to move appointments around or we may be communicating slower than usual. If you have not already been contacted about an appointment or any changes, don't worry! That means everything is going smoothly and we just may be behind on sending happy updates. If we owe you a response on something, don't be shy to send us a friendly reminder.

We have been spending our time caring for, training, and spending time with the dogs in our care, and we appreciate all of our clients flexibility and understanding with the business administration tasks. We love you all and we want to make sure you are receiving the level of service you deserve, and we are so grateful for the grace and flexibility during this time.

We took the camera to our latest jam session, and we're so glad we did! Look at these ROCKSTAR dogs and handlers! These dogs have all improved so much, so fast. We couldn't be more proud of the work that everyone is putting into their dogs!

Ope, sorry. Next jam on April 10 is canceled! Our schedule got busy this week and we need to prepare for Andrea getting here on Sunday.

“Muzzled dogs aren’t bad dogs.” - The Muzzle Up Project

And they’re right!

Many of us feel bad for a muzzled dog, which often creates situations where a should-be-muzzled-muzzle is unmuzzled. 😜

When muzzle training is done properly, the dog 😁 L O V E S 😁 the entire process. Yes, the dog will actually smush his face into that muzzle excitedly, in hopes that snacks might follow.

If you have a fearful, anxious, insecure, or aggressive dog, it would be wise to begin your muzzle training sooner rather than later.

Any of our clients will tell you how often Alyssa & Chris say “train it when you don’t need it!!” And the same thing applies here.

You never know when a situation may come up where your dog needs to be muzzled, so be proactive! Besides, if your dog associates wearing the muzzle with all of his biggest triggers (“I only wear this thing when I go to the vet?! YUCK, muzzles suck!!”

Though it may seem daunting, it is absolutely possible to train your dog to enjoy wearing a muzzle. The following is a compilation of resources from The Muzzle Up! Project to guide you through the process. Be sure to check out our resources page for more information. The Plan Before starting muzzle....
