No amount of affection will resolve your dog’s reactivity.
Structure, boundaries, and teaching expected behaviors will.

Get to know our most recent trainees!

Yogi - 8 month old Mini Schnauzer who spent 1 week with trainer Brian. Yogi is a spunky guy who has a mind of his own. He tends to have stubborn tendencies and likes to do things his way. He came in for training to gain a basic obedience foundation and give his parents some skills to continue working on!

Coco - 3 year old French Bulldog spending 2 weeks with Trainer Kenzie. Coco is a strong girl, both physically and mentally. She’s successfully pulled her owner over, does not come when called, and can show some reactive tendencies. She’s learning all about obedience, patience, and how to be a well behaved little lady!

Whiskey - 1 year old Moyen Poodle finishing up two weeks with trainer Claire. Whiskey is a fun and bubbly boy who likes to bark and not listen to his parents. He can be a demanding boy for attention, jumps on people, and pulls on the leash. He’s learning all around obedience and is manners while with us!

Caylee - 10 month old Lab Mix finishing up two weeks with Trainer Claire. Caylee is a playful girl who struggles with recall and leash pulling. Her owners would like to include her in outings and have an active lifestyle. She’s learning all about manners and obedience while with us!

We can’t wait to see these 4 shine with training. Stay tuned for their graduations and our next round of students to wrap up the year! 🐾

The truth is, your rescue dog probably wasn’t abused. Plenty of dogs will shy away from people or have fearfulness. Doesn’t mean they were abused.

08/12/2025

Separation anxiety is built from rewarding anxious behaviors and having a lack of healthy boundaries.

06/12/2025

Trade out the words “early socialization” for “early exposure” and watch the decrease in reactive dog cases.
Socializing your dog is not what you think.

Your “friendly” dog who rushes up to greet other dogs and people is not friendly. They’re rude.

03/12/2025

Comparing your dog’s crate to “jail” is like saying your baby’s crib is prison.
Make that make sense.

You might’ve thought this was going to be an anti crate training reel 😉. But in all reality, there are no reasons to not crate train your dog, and so many to support crate training instead.

Crate training provides safety, boundaries, consistency, clarity, and promotes self soothing calm mindsets. When done properly, the crate serves as your dog’s bedroom. When they’re needing a nap? Crate. Overstimulated? Crate. You need some space? Crate. Struggling with separation anxiety? Crate.

In all honesty, the crate may be one of the most underrated training tools. And the best part, it’s not age dependent. You can and SHOULD begin crate training from puppyhood and continue it as needed throughout their entire lives.

Think emergencies…. Maybe your dog needs surgery and stays over night at the vet, they’ll need to crate them. If you’re displaced from a natural disaster, shelters require you to crate your pets. Transportation is done safely by crating your dog. Daycare and boarding also require crating and kenneling.

As responsible dog owners, it’s important we set our pets up for success in anything they may experience. And neglecting crate training does the exact opposite. The worst case is an older dog who’s never been crated before and now needs to be due to some unforeseen circumstance. 🫠 That makes it sudden and stressful.

Do the opposite. Introduce crate training NOW if you have not. Take your time, use it daily, and your dog will develop a love for their crate. 🫶🏼
