Wheatley is tapping into his DNA! Having an absolute blast on this gorgeous Saturday! 😍

Don't forget to ask about our Luxury Upgrade package where we get to do awesome stuff like this!

I absolutely love our Boarded training program! You can't get this at a "facility" based program where the dogs get a 10x10 ft area of turf to play on!

Introducing Rudy!

Rudy is here for 5 Week Behavior Modification due to aggression towards people and other animals.

Rudy obviously has severe possession aggression and has bitten people, including his owner and a child.

Most of Rudy's issues in the home were initially seen as possession aggression. It started over food bowls but has expanded to being possessive over water bowl, treats, toys, and even just space.

He started refusing to come inside when outside on a leash and will lay down in protest, then start this behavior.

He cannot safely be in the same room as the family's other dog, as he aggresses her as well.

Rudy also has nose butter that needs to be put on and if we even pick up the container, he starts this behavior.

A series of testing revealed Rudy is a truly dominant dog who is exhibiting a few different types of aggression. He is pushy, and he has some associations that are made as well.

We have a long road ahead of us but stay tuned.

PS yall leave my "oven mitt" (bite glove) alone. I am not risking my hand or fingers to test this reaction.🤣 You can if you want to. ✌️

Long lines are a very important tool. This phase of training should always be done to proof your off leash work before hoping for off leash reliability.

🚨🚨New Years Eve fireworks protocols! 🚨🚨

Every year, loads of dogs go missing on NYE!

NOW is the time to secure your pet!

Don't make the stupid mistake of assuming that just because you like the pretty fireworks, that your dog does, too! Fireworks are NOT natural for dogs and they should NOT be forced to sit through them outside!

✅Here are some ways to keep them safe✅

Exercise during the day so they are tired at night.

Keep them inside during fireworks.

Keep collars with updated tags on them. Put an Apple Airtag on their collar or harness for tracking purposes. Don't have the fancy pocket for the Air Tag, duct tape that sucker.

Avoid walks during fireworks but if you absolutely must, ONLY on a slip leash. Dogs can back out of collars and harnesses in 2 seconds flat.

Do not make the mistake of thinking your fence is safe. When scared, dogs can do some very impressive things such as scale a 6-foot fence, find breaks in a weak fence, create new holes, or dig under. All of this can happen very quickly - before you even know they are gone.

Kennel or provide another safe space inside.

Talk to your vet about calming medicines.

Play classical music to drown out the fireworks.

Diffuse lavender oil. Or put a couple of drops on your dogs blanket, bed or collar.

Keep their eyes away from the flashing lights. Pull your curtains closed. Don't stand there at the window saying "how beautiful!" while your dog is in a panic attack behind you.

Be careful of open doors. Don't let little Johnny run inside and outside. Control your kids, control your family members, control your doors!

And lastly, for behavioral purposes, make these accommodations but DO NOT baby the dog. The more you talk to, pet and ta-ta an anxious dog, the more you are positively reinforcing the anxiety.

❗️Additional PSA - we often see intoxicated people on this day. We have heard many horror stories of family members and friends going to client's homes to celebrate the new year, then becoming intoxicated and trying to force an anxious dog to be "okay" or to like them! Control Little Johnny and drunk Uncle Chris! This is why people get bitten, so put down the booze and advocate for your dog.

😥Lost dogs😥

There will be LOTS of people posting lost dogs. I would encourage everyone to have an extra leash on hand in case you find a dog running for safety.

Any leash can be turned into a slip leash by threading the main leash through the handle and holding the clip side.

I've had enough! 🛑🚨

This poor person was told by a "professional trainer" that he would take her rescued, aggressive and reactive German Shepherd, rehabilitate it, then turn it into a SERVICE DOG!

I commented and explained WHY this was absolutely a terrible and dangerous idea. It's nothing more than a money grab.

I can't stand "trainers" like this. They don't deserve to even be in the industry yet they are everywhere you look.

It's insanity and I wish there was some way to truly stop this before someone or some other dog gets hurt.

Introducing Sugar!

Sugar is a 4 month old Labradoodle puppy who is here for 3 Week Complete boarded training!

In addition to all of the regular commands and obedience on and off leash, we are teaching Sugar how to load in a vehicle!

Her mom mentioned that she is physically unable to load her, so we figured we could put this in place for her!

Check out the progression from the initial ask and refusal, to the front feet, to loading on command!
