Having fun with a Husky puppy boarding for the week. I think she likes our Ro.

Sweet little Ginny's second session working 'Sit' and 'Down' cues. 5 month old Cav Bichon mix, super smart, and an absolute joy to have been able to work with.
Older video I just stumbled across.

I couldn't be happier for this big guy. Just a couple of months ago, he was a hot mess. Confused, sad and full of antidepressants. His new family has done such amazing work with the life skills we taught them, to be able to move him into a new family and be at peace. He's now 100% drug free and so much happier and comfortable compared to Day 1 & 2 where he postured and yelled at me to leave.
He's such a good guy and I'm so proud of his new parents and all the hard work they put in to get him to this place. ❤️
Little man had a long day or playing and running and more playing. Winding down for the night with his babies. Such a wonderful and adorable little guest.

I bought some video editing software and enjoying playing with it, to try to make some better content.
This is Corduroy, one of our Board & Train dogs at the moment, learning to Dog with Arwen. She's a good teacher of fair play, cut off signals and not afraid to gently correct rude behaviors.
Enjoy! There are some really sweet moments.
Our Board & Train had the chance to meet an old friend of ours, who is a couple of months older, and was here for leash reactivity problems. He did really well with our Ro, and then I switched to the puppy, and we had to start at 0 again. He picked up my protocols and was very with me, toward the end of the session. As a reward, I allowed him to go play. They met wonderfully at the gate. The Doodle (Boarder) has been playing with Ro (Pit) and Awren (Collis/Boxer) for a few days now, learning how to...speak dog, really, from older dogs. I love how he is trying to goad Ollie into a game of chase. He loves to run! I see a little Arwen and Ro in his actions and "words".

A lot has changed in the past 50 years, and one huge thing that has effected a lot of dogs, is that we are not out with them, as much as we have been, in years past. Stay with them and keep them safe. Not only is it safer, but spending time with your dog builds a better relationship and gives you much more opportunity to train wanted behaviors.

Kobe took part in our Puppy Program 2 weeks ago. His Mom was doing an amazing job with him, even before we showed up. He's staying for the day and overnight. This afternoon, we worked with a Corgi who gets a little too excited when he sees other dogs, and Kobe was able to take part as a learning opportunity as well. The Corgi learned a lot today, and Kobe was a champ. He had close to no reaction to the Corgi and his goings on. He also got to do some fun scavenging exercises, using his nose to find treats in the grass. He won a lot today for an almost 3 month old.
While we were out, I wanted to test his recall. Of course, he nailed it and got a ton of praise every time he voluntarily came back to me in the run.
* Pardon the mess at the other end. We finished gutting the basement today for a rebuild that will be centered on dogs.

Session #3 working with Bella on her dog reactivity. She's young and wants to run up on them and has been ending up on 2 feet, trying to pull her human forward. That's never ideal and at 75lbs, it's really dangerous.
We were, at this point of the session, about 25-30 feet from he run, with Ro in it. (2 year old, intact, male Pit) She has never met him.
She's calm enough to just stalk or look at him. She doesn't need to go over there. She checks in and is rewarded for being a good girl.
At the end of the session, she walked calmly to the fence to meet him, there were kisses and big wiggle butts, she got to go in and meet him and play for a little while. If she had charged the fence, she would have lost that opportunity for today.
I do love getting videos from clients about how things are going. Just 2 sessions with this young man, and their whole world has changed. He was a wild child, for sure. There is no way he would have not only just hung out like that but also engaged with his human as much as he is, a couple of weeks ago.
That she was skeptical of my methods, makes it all that more enjoyable. #noforce #nofear #noforcenofear

Your dog is NOT color blind.
El Taco wants to help me in wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year ahead.

I've had the pleasure to be able to spend some time with this guy before we start working together. It's nice to see him come around a little more and show a lot of trust.
Snug as a Bug

Taking some time out at the end of a Session for Ozzie. He's a little nervous and standoffish, the first couple of days this week and I wanted some relaxed alone time with him, without his brothers and sister. We had a lovely ridiculously loose leash walk and got to bond a little while working in some of the base skills we started with. I have a feeling he's going to be a star student. 🌟

Winding down our day and doing some patience and gentle exercises for fun, after a day of Loose Leash. Such a good boy.

I've known this sweet, crazy, little guy since he was nothing but a little ball of black fluff. Always a pleasure to pay him a visit. I'm working with his new brother and I have to make time for him, at the end of the session.
