This sweet Golden Retriever pup is in my service dog training program. His owner has clearly been working on his patience and self-control (those are treats all over him)! They are going to make a great team!

I was going through some old videos on my phone and found this one from two years ago. This is a short clip of two (previously) dog-reactive dogs on a walk together. They had never seen each other before this training session but had worked with me individually before training together. This video was taken after about a 30 minute walking/training session.

Happy Veterans Day! My veteran clients are some of my favorites as they are always willing to do whatever it takes to train their dogs (even if it means laying on the floor). Here two veterans are training their service dogs for "deep pressure therapy", a service task proven to help relieve anxiety and shorten duration of panic attacks (posted with their permission of course).

8 year old Austin teaching Georgia to "heel" (Georgia's first practice session ever with this cue). Austin wants her to follow closely then sit when she stops walking. She clicks to let Georgia know when she has earned a treat. I love watching Georgia's swagger. :)

One spot left in Fun Scent Games class starting tomorrow (Wednesdays: August 5th - August 26th, 6:00pm-7:00pm)! No prerequisite or previous training of any kind is necessary, but dogs must be friendly with other dogs and people. Your dog will love this class! Dogs learn how to systematically search for hidden food in a fun and exciting environment. The level of difficulty increases each week, and it is fascinating to watch the dogs catch scent and make a find. Not only is it fun for owners to watch their dogs learn to use their noses, you will also learn fun scientific facts about your dog's nose and their amazing abilities. This class is great for confidence building and mental stimulation!

Fee for course: $95 (1 hour classes, 4 week course - only 4 dogs per class max!)

Wyatt loves the game of waiting patiently while covered in treats. Ok, he may not love the waiting but he loves the reward! Want to teach your dog to wait for treats? Join my Beginning Pet Manners class where we teach this trick (it's so much more than a trick though, great for self control!) along with other cues like sit, down, eye contact, stay and come when called. We also work on polite greetings, walking nicely on leash and more! I have just two spots available for classes starting next week!
