Happy Halloween from GoodBoy!

Tonight is full of costumes, candy, and fun, but for many dogs it can feel like pure chaos. The constant doorbell rings, excited voices, and strange smells can be a lot to handle. Here are a few quick things you can do tonight to help your pup stay calm and safe:

• Create a quiet space. Give your dog a comfy room away from the front door with their bed, toys, or a chew.
• Turn on the TV or some music. A little background noise helps soften the sound of trick-or-treaters.
• Keep candy out of reach. Chocolate and anything with xylitol can be dangerous for dogs.
• Use a leash when answering the door. Even calm dogs can get startled and try to slip out.
• Skip the costume if they hate it. A relaxed dog is always cuter than an uncomfortable one.

A few small steps can make the night easier for everyone. Have a safe, fun, and treat-filled Halloween from all of us at GoodBoy!

When does aggression really begin?

Is it the first growl?
The first snap?
Or does it start much earlier, when that shy puppy cowers away from a stranger trying to pet them, when they stiffen because another dog across the street will not stop staring, or when they hover a little too protectively over their food bowl or favorite toy?

Aggression and reactivity do not appear out of nowhere. They build quietly, often out of fear, frustration, or uncertainty. What starts as subtle body language such as a freeze, a hard stare, or a tucked tail can grow into resource guarding, territorial behavior, or defensive biting if left unchecked.

A growl is not the beginning of aggression, it is communication. It is your dog saying “I’m uncomfortable” long before they feel like they have to shout. Our job is to listen, understand the “why,” and help them feel safe before those whispers turn into screams.

Early intervention, clear structure, and gentle guidance can stop fear from turning into defense. The sooner we listen, the sooner we can help.

Imagine having therapy from a therapist who received their training from methods developed in the early 1900s. Then refused to stay upto date in the major advancements made in the field.
Instead they scream up and down about how they're the best. Without their way, you can never get better.

Now Imagine your dog trainer.

Tired dog = happy dog (and happy human)

Here’s the thing about dogs… if you don’t give them a job, they’ll make one up. And it’s usually something like “protect the fence line,” “redecorate the couch,” or “alert the entire neighborhood about that suspicious leaf.”

Training is one of the best ways to use your dog’s energy. Mental work is just as exhausting (and usually more productive) than endless running or chasing a ball. When you engage their brain, you give that energy a purpose.

Five minutes of training can wear out your dog faster than an hour of backyard zoomies. They learn, they focus, and they get that “I did a good thing” satisfaction that every dog craves.

So before you blame the weather, the full moon, or the mysterious “zoomie hour” that strikes at 8 p.m. every night, try a little training session. It’s the most effective and slightly less chaotic way to tire out your best friend.

Meet Banjo and his awesome family!

Banjo has been working hard on building confidence, focus, and calm behavior out in the real world. His family has been putting in the effort right alongside him, and it shows. This team is growing stronger every week.

We love seeing families like this work together, learn together, and celebrate every win along the way.

Becky told me I needed to create a Facebook post to keep everything running smoothly.
So this is my Facebook post. Probably the best Facebook post you'll ever read (because I wrote it).

I guess I should say something about animals since it's kinda our thing...Did you know that following social media trends (like barking in your dog's face) is a FANTASTIC IDEA!

Just kidding. But it does support Darwin's theory of (whatever it was that got dumb people to get knocked off the gene pool)

So there it is... My 11pm post because SOMETHING has to be said.

Now for the picture. Well apparently posting a dog picture isn't hot these days...(Low clicks) So I'll probably scroll through my feed and find something that looks like it could maybe get a like...this would be SOOOO much easier if I was a pretty girl in a bikini. Those pics get all the likes.

Now to finish it off. Let's throw in some catchy keywords that help FB push this post.
Congratulations!
Amazing news!

I'd like to thank...

It's hard work spending your day on the beach training dogs. But someone has to do it.

America or Australia, there are always beautiful places to train. An important part of training is getting them outside. And our trainers LOVE being outside when they can.
