Say hello to Honey! 🍯

Honey joined us for a board and train earlier this week. She loves to jump all over, so we’re working on that and her obedience.

Days like today make the perfect day for an outdoor private session!

Somebunny wanted to say Happy Easter! 🐰🐶

Cooper is with us for a board and train. We’re working on obedience, barking, and being calm around other dogs.

We hope you’re ringing in the new year as cozy as this guy 🐾✨ As 2023 draws to a close, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to all the wagging tails and friendly faces we've had the joy of working with this year. Your support means the world to us at Capital Canine.

Here's to a 2024 filled with more tail wags and unforgettable moments! 🎉

I got the sweetest surprise from Wilson over the weekend! Wilson was an over-excited pup that I did a board and train with.

While I miss having him here, I’m so glad he’s being a good boy for his parents in Arizona!

20/11/2023

I had a good little helper on my walk with Duke!

Duke came to us after struggling with aggression with other dogs in their house and is nearing the end of his board and train.

18/11/2023

I’ve been quiet on here for a while, but it felt like time to introduce Capital Canine’s newest junior dog trainer, Jameson! 👶🐶

He joined our family October 3 and we’ve been loving every second with him.

I slowed my schedule down for October so we could get settled in but I’m opening my books up again now! 👏

As a reminder, I offer both private sessions and board and trains. Board and trains are already booking into the new year, so schedule a free consultation today if you’d like to learn more!

It's always a pleasure to be able to provide some guidance to a great group of people that are doing amazing things for rescue dogs!

I have no idea what was going on with my legs in this picture, so your guess is as good as mine 😂

Olivia, now Ollie, has found her forever home! She has some little boys to keep her busy and a will be given a ton of love! We're so grateful to be able to help Furry Friends Rockin' Rescue, Inc. - Bismarck Mandan to get Ollie ready for her new Family!

Training is the key to achieving success, but we shouldn't be pushing our dogs too far.

Try keeping training sessions shorter and splitting them throughout the day for just a few minutes at a time to keep them wanting more!

Happy Howl-oween from everyone at Capital Canine! Hoping you all have a fang-tastic night 🎃 👻

Obedience can’t be optional.

That’s why the leash is the best tool to enforce what you’re asking for. It helps to show our dogs what behaviors we want them to do, how they should do it, and that when they listen to what we ask of them, they can get some pretty cool rewards for it!

25/10/2022

You will learn pretty fast that training is just as much for you as it is for your dog.

At Capital Canine, we strive to give dog owners the tools and knowledge to feel confident and comfortable with training. It's not always easy and there will be times when you have questions. And we'll have the answers! That's why we make it a point to always be there for you at every step of the process.

21/10/2022

All training starts and ends with the leash.

Something we hear from a lot of dog owners is "my dog won't listen to me when I tell them to do something." We hate to break it to you, but a leash is your easiest fix and will make your training successful in the end.

Without the leash, it's really hard to enforce the behaviors you ask for. Think about it like this -- When you tell your child to go to bed while they're watching their favorite show, they will probably have a hard time getting to bed on their own, especially if they're really zoned in on their show. To get them to bed you either need to physically guide them or turn the tv off so they have nothing to watch.

The same goes for asking for behavior without a leash! By using the leash as a guide, you will start to see the behaviors you are wanting and asking of your dog.

Check out this before and after!

Watch Wilson go from pulling and tugging on the leash to calm, cool, and, collected in just a few weeks!

Here's a quick look at some the dogs we got to work with during the months of August and September!

20/09/2022

Does your dog constantly pull on the leash?

The biggest thing you can do to help is to not let them keep up with the pulling. If we let them pull on the leash during walks, when they have to go to the bathroom, or when meeting new people, we are actually strengthening this behavior and the pulling won't get better.

Instead, we want to teach your dog that pulling won’t get them anywhere.

Meet Wilson 🐾

Wilson is a big ball of energy that just joined our three-week Board and Train program! He's here to work on channeling his energy and learning some basic manners and obedience.

13/09/2022

Say hi to Loki 👋 We recently welcomed him into our home for a 3 week Board and Train!

Loki is here to work on some general obedience and his manners in and outside the home. He's such a good boy and we can already tell he's going to do such a great job during his stay!

12/09/2022

Earlier last week, we met up with Dakota's owners to get some leash work in at Lowe's before wrapping up her Board and Train!

When Dakota first came to us, she was pretty anxious and had a hard time settling down in new places with new people. Throughout her stay, we worked on strengthening her obedience while building up her confidence so she can feel more comfortable in new environments.

09/09/2022

Karma wrapped up her Board and Train this past week!

We're sad to see her go, but we are so excited for her next chapter with her owners as they continue to implement all of the things she learned over the past few weeks with us!

06/09/2022

Small and consistent amounts of obedience repetitions can have you seeing a difference in your dogs' behavior in no time!

Two "come" commands each time you take your dog outside or a "place" command every time you feed your dog doesn't seem like much, but repeating these commands a little at a time will add up.

Think of it like this, 5 repetitions a day is 150 in a month!

05/09/2022

Happy Labor Day from everyone at Capital Canine!🐾

30/08/2022

Dog training needs to be consistent and clear.

It can’t be something you start and then don’t keep up with again for another few weeks. A break here and there is fine as long as you have a set schedule in place with clear and simple direction.

Think of it like cleaning your home - If you don’t keep up with it for weeks on end, you’ll have to start from the very beginning and it takes much more time and effort in the long run!

26/08/2022

Happy National Dog Day from everyone at Capital Canine!

We might be biased, but we think this is one of the best days of the year. Spend a little extra time spoiling your pup today, because we know we will!

25/08/2022

Dakota recently joined our 3 week Board and Train program!

She is a 5-year-old German Shephard who is extremely anxious and has trouble in new environments with new people, specifically other dogs and men.

So far we've worked on some general obedience and getting her comfortable with the crate which she's grown to like already. We can't wait to build up her confidence so she can become more comfortable and happier in the world around her!

24/08/2022

Everyone meet Karma, one of our new 3-week Board and Trains!

Karma has typical puppy energy and has trouble with jumping, over-excitement, and aggression toward other dogs. During her stay, we'll be working on her impulse control and how to relax around the other dogs at home.

22/08/2022

Making some progress with Crowley from Miles of Love Dog Rescue!

We’ve been working on listening with distractions, leash pulling, and being calm when meeting new people. He's made some great progress and is almost ready to go home to his new owner!

17/08/2022

We wish it was easier said than done, but the reason your dog is barking could be a number of things. Try to view this issue from their perspective. Barking is just a representation of many possible underlying issues like separation anxiety, reactivity, excitement, frustration, or wanting to play – the list goes on!

Once we see things from their point of view and get down to the root of why they are barking is when we can give them the tools and confidence to stop that type of behavior.

Mondays aren't so bad when you get to spend some time with such a sweet pup like Beau!

Lily practicing obedience!

Lily has been with us for a few weeks now and is really rocking her obedience! If you couldn't tell, she's also gotten really good at her "free" command 😂 Furry Friends Rockin' Rescue, Inc. - Bismarck Mandan

Look at this loose leash walking! If you are wanting your dog to walk with you like this, it all starts with the leash.

Tank's Before & After

Check out this before and after! If you can remember, Tank came to us with a full training wish list, and being able to calmly sit while cars and other large vehicles drive by was a big item on that list. During his stay with us, not only were we able to teach Tank to sit calmly while in the "sit" command, but we were also able to teach him not to be in a command and to decide not to lunge or chase after cars as they go by! Yes, he might still be interested, but you can see that he is now actively choosing to stay neutral in this situation.

Tank goes to Lowe's!

Tank has been with us for 5 days now and is already making some great progress! This is the first time we've been out in a public place since Tank's drop off. We didn't have to take a bunch of trips to Lowes for him to be ok at Lowe's. By laying some foundation before heading to a public place, we set him up for a better training experience and he did great!

Earlier this week, Onslow finished her Board and Train with us and we are so proud of her progress over her stay! Here's Onslow and her owner crushing some loose leash walking in a distracting environment!

Check out this impulse control! Paisley came to us as a very anxious and nervous dog. By promoting impulse control, she is actively choosing to stay calm and have patience even when something as desirable as her food is right in front of her!

We welcomed Riddick back for a few days! 😀 It is important with kids and dogs to set boundaries, for both the kids and the dogs. Our Junior Trainer, Emery, is showing how respectful Riddick can be with kids! Riddick's Fosters have done an amazing job with him, but had some changes happen that won't allow them to foster him anymore. Feel free to reach out to us or Furry Friends Rockin' Rescue, Inc. - Bismarck Mandan if you are interested in fostering or adopting!

Rip catches on quick! He's doing great with obedience and with the ecollar!

Waylon is doing a great job with his obedience! I am conditioning him to the Ecollar -- which consists of us using obedience commands he already knows with the lowest level he can feel. This allows him to understand the stimulations which sharpens his obedience and will allow for a safer experience when he moves to being off leash!

Although this may not seem like a big deal, this is a big step for Riddick! A little patience and consistency goes a long way. He is very lucky to have such amazing Fosters!

Making some progress with Riddick from Furry Friends Rockin' Rescue, Inc. - Bismarck Mandan

Does your dog hate being in their crate or kennel? Instead of forcing them in, I like to get them used to going into the crate without closing the door shut. In this sped-up video I'm working with Riddick on getting used to the crate without the expectation of him staying inside of it. Using his food and a no-pressure approach helps us get one step closer to a better crate experience!

Gunther gets a *little* excited when playing catch and doesn't like to give the ball back, so we played with TWO balls today to entice him back and get him one step closer to fetching like a pro!

Gunther is doing a great job with duration and impulse control in the Down Command!
