Training multiple dogs at the same time can be tricky, but it is possible. For example, Brynn (left) and Bryce are practicing settling on a mat. Bryce already has a lot of duration with this behavior, but Brynn is newer at it. When practicing together, they train at Brynn’s level to keep everyone successful.

When it comes to putting clothes on dogs, people have lots of thoughts. While clothes might be a fashion statement for some, they are necessary for others. Take Autumn, for example. She's an eight pound toy poodle who will need to wear clothes when the temperatures dip in Broomfield, Colorado. Her mom is getting her accustomed to clothes before she needs them. Autumn wore her sock monkey sweater during our entire training session!

Let’s talk about muzzles for a moment. This sweet Corgi gets very stressed when his brother barks in his face. While we work on the two dogs coexisting in the house, we’ve implemented layers of safety, including gates and a muzzle. After a week of socializing to the muzzle, this Corgi is wearing it without a concern and his brother is staying safe.
