Buoy and his trainer started a little side hustle today during camp but it's hard to make any money when he keeps giving it away for free!
Buoy is a 3 month old Portuguese Water Dog enrolled in our Whole Den Puppy Camp.

It was a busy but super fun week! Here's a peek at what we did.

Trainer Anthony working with Remi, a 3 year old Staffordshire Terrier Mix, on "place". What do you think....is he having fun??
We sure do appreciate Home Depot for allowing us to train at their store!
If you would like your own mini A-Frame like the one we have at our facility (see photos/video in this post), let us know. The guy that makes ours is taking orders now with about a 2 week lead time. They are made of high quality plywood, but are still light weight enough for easy transport. We take this one to events. They are fully adjustable to fit your dog's skill level. Weight load is up to a 50 lb dog. Price $100.
Look at that recall... and off-leash! 👏
Oreo is a 5 month old Doodle enrolled in our Elite Puppy Platinum Obedience Program and has been training with us for a couple months.
Sometimes the best thing we can do for our anxious dogs is to just sit on a bench together and let them take it all in.

After a full day of obedience training at our Elite Training Camp, the pups got to enjoy some supervised recreation time together this afternoon. Socialization with other dogs is very important, so we introduce them to each other slowly and build up to what is shown here. With trainers Anthony and Josh watching closely, the dogs had a great pack play!
Teaching Grace, a 4 month old Golden Retriever, to do the A-frame today at camp. She loves it so much!
Grace is enrolled in our 4 week camp and just started week 2. You're doing great little Gracie 🤩
Today's pack walk (i.e. group class) was at the St Patty's Day celebration in Downtown Panama City and the Panama City Farmers Market. It was a fun day! Check out how well everyone did!!
Trainer Anthony teaching "heel" to 9 month old Finnegan and his owner using a fence drill. Nice work!
Try not to focus on the sexy pink bicycle, but instead on the dog. This was Gus' first bicycle ride and he did everything perfectly. Why? Because I have been preparing him for this for a year. This wasn't a short little ride either. We were out there for 3 hours!
Most people believe that just because we are dog trainers we must have all the time in the world to train our dogs. We don't... but we make time. To get Gus to this point took lots of hard work....on his part and mine. Work such as managing the DNA of this Australian Cattle Dog and his tendency to herd tires. We also worked on mastering his heel. At the end of the video, pay attention to how he is paying attention to me and moving behind me so that I can take care of the bike. None of this happens overnight, but with consistency you can get there too. It's not magic but it is magical when things start to come together. I started working with Gus when he was 8 weeks old...he is now 16 months.
Happy training guys!

Siggy at the end of a 3 day event

Super stars and stripes! 🇺🇲
Group class today was at the Emerald Coast Boat & Lifestyle Show. Lots of distractions, including loud rock music, but the dogs were solid on their obedience. Well done owners and dogs!
We are set up and ready for an awesome 3 day event at the Emerald Coast Boat & Lifestyle Show
Stop by and say hi 👋
Working with Alexander at Lowe's today on place and come. He was perfect even with some shoppers on the next isle.
Alexander is finishing up his last week of our 3 week Elite Training Camp. Nice job buddy!
Puppy wrestling!
They had a long week of training at the facility and earned some playtime together this afternoon. 😍
Day 1 of Elite Training Camp for Shady
Shady came to us because his owners needed help with his extreme leash pulling and excessive barking. Our trainer Anthony worked with him this morning and this is what happened after a half day of camp. Solid 💯
Today's group class(es).....due to the rain, we ended up with two smaller groups! One at the Salty Dog Day Festival and the other at our training facility. Great job guys on committing to your dog's training regardless of the weather!
Working off leash with Piper and Gus today.
With so many distractions, adding distance and duration to obedience commands and getting a solid recall... that's advanced obedience. Nice job 💯
