I asked Chat GPT to roast the German Shepherd 🤣

Alright, here goes — no hard feelings, GSD fans!

The German Shepherd thinks it’s the CEO of the dog park, but can’t even handle a Roomba without going full security alert. Always acting like it’s got top secret K9 clearance, when really it’s just patrolling the backyard like: “Ma’am, I’ve detected a squirrel.”

Built like an athlete, but sheds like it’s trying to knit you a new dog every week. And don’t get me started on that dramatic bark — sounds like it's narrating a crime documentary every time the mailman shows up.

This dog walks around like it's the main character in a police drama, but let a leaf blow the wrong way and it's suddenly in Code Red Tactical Mode. It's got the brains of a genius but uses it solely to outsmart baby gates and steal socks.

Always staring off into the distance like it's solving existential mysteries — no, Max, you’re not contemplating life, you’re just waiting for someone to drop a piece of chicken.

And let’s talk about that dramatic flop when it's tired. Like, calm down, Oscar-worthy actor — you walked for 15 minutes, not across the Sahara.

Basically, the German Shepherd is a furry overachiever with a god complex and anxiety issues — the gifted kid of the dog world.

We've had a break through on Molly!

Initially extremely distracted, stubborn, and pushy, we've now taken a turn to being super engaged, happy, motivated, and ready to work. This looks absolutely beautiful, and what an excellent mark from Katelyn on the jump.

Less pushy, more worky!

Finally, some sunshine!

We took Hemingway, Ruby, and Molly on a pack walk this morning! 🩵

Rehoming Post 🏡
----
An alumni client is looking to rehome their 2.5 year old Sheepadoodle. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He did complete our Boarded training program a while back. He is very sweet and loves cuddles once he knows you. He is good with other dogs and kids. He is very energetic and his biggest issues are jumping and not calming down quickly when his family gets home from work. He needs a family with kids, or active adults who can give him outlets for his energy. His personality is very timid until he knows you, so he will need someone who will be patient and work with him.

They are not asking a rehoming fee, but want to ensure he goes to the best home. If interested, please let me know. 🩵

Rehoming or long term foster needed asap
----

Hi everyone,

Leo is an alumni 4.5 year old Doberman. His owners have been stationed in Japan for military duties and have to move by the end of July.

They are seeking an immediate placement for Leo, looking for either a long term (3 years) foster, or rehoming to the perfect home.

Leo is good with kids, people and other dogs. We've known him since he was a puppy and absolutely adore him.

If anyone is interested in either fostering or adopting, please reach out to me for more information.

Is every dog easy to train?

Absolutely not.

Is every dog "happy" to train?

Absolutely not.

This is Molly. Molly came in very pushy and overstimulated. She had a poor response to pressure, and when we would ask her to heel on a martingale, she would flip and flop, lay down, bite the leash, etc. It looked scary, but that's something that we as trainers see often (because dogs aren't used to being asked to do things certain ways), and it's our job to fix it. She would pull heavily on the leash, choke herself, and lunge/snarl/bark at the sight of other dogs. Her handler had zero relevance, and she would hyper fixate on other dogs and end up pulling so hard her front feet were not on the ground.

Today, she approached her sessions with a much better attitude, and we have made significant progress!

But is it easy? No.

Which is why quality training can not "cookie cutter" a program - you have to pivot with the dogs.

SMALL DOG OWNERS!!!

IF YOUR DOG IS UNDER 20LBS this is EXACTLY why we say do NOT let your dog off leash outside, in an uncovered area.

We pulled up to this massive thing (there were two, one flew away) in our tree right outside the carport. This bird is massive and could easily carry away cats or small dogs.

These birds of prey ARE in our area, whether you see them or not.

This one is huge because we aren't "in" New Orleans but are still ranked so strongly there! 🩵

Introducing Hemingway!

Hemingway is a Goldendoodle puppy who was just adopted by his current owner and brought straight to us on adoption day. In fact, it was quite a neat intake where both the new owner and the foster/breeder came together! Both have Hemingway's best interest at heart and it was important for him to learn manners and obedience first, before settling in to his new home.

This video is older but was the literal second session we worked with him.

This is unedited video of his session. It's super neat to watch him figure this out! Ray is food luring him into a down position, which he follows but pops right back up. That's super normal, so Ray worked on slowing himself down (handler speed is important!) and timely marking Hemingway. You can watch Hemingway's mental wheels spin as he begins to understand the concept of impulse control! It's also super neat for me as a lead trainer to be able to watch my trainers figure these things out on their own now, without being told "Hey, slow down for this dog." No dog is cookie cutter - they're each different and learn differently, and we as trainers must be flexible to adapt with every single interaction. Ray pivoted with this dog and made changes physically and in his verbal pitches/tones/speed of speech.

How cool!

FYI he is far past this now. He is moving through the program with flying colors!
