Everybody wins when our training dogs come to board with us!

Our clients love letting their dog stay in a comfy home environment where the training is kept up with, and our dogs love having new play partners every week! 😂

Does your dog have a job?
Did you know training IS that job?!

Here's an example...
Place command, sit or down, and held for Duration.
What's Duration mean for a Confident Canines trained pup? HOURS not minutes!

Hanging out, enjoying the subshine, making decisions

You don't see much of dogs on the furniture around here, do you?
Well, Harlow is allowed on the couch at home, so he's allowed here, too!
This is just one of the many perks you get after becoming a Confident Canines client - vacation boarding services!

Here we see the 3 levels of CC training experience. From left to right, we have the in-house pro, Returning Master, and even a very well behaved novice !
Yes, they do just lay there like that when we're done with them 😃

And there you have it! Bear is officially working off leash!

How did we get here?
1- By laying a solid on leash foundation
2- teaching Bear a predictable exercise that keeps him from having to think too much when we take the leash away
3- Using body language to give Bear a little help as he continues to learn
4- NOT rushing the process (this one is a biggie that trips up many dog owners).

We'll keep it indoors for now so Bear can keep learning in a safe, controlled environment...but soon he'll be off to the creek!

How do you get your dog working off leash? By getting them solid ON leash first!

Here I'm working with Bear on one of our favorite exercises- the one we use to transition to off leash magic.

Notice that my leash is loose the entire time, which means I'm not using it to give Bear any directional guidance on what I'm asking him to do. He's showing me he understands the exercise, which means it'll soon be time to start doing the exact same thing, but without a leash.

01/03/2023

Here's Bear working on remote collar Sit, Place, Down, and recall!
This is a simple but powerful exercise that will set the stage for getting this guy fully off leash trained.
Great job Bear!

Such polite pups 🐶 😊
We love new friends!

27/02/2023

Would you believe dog training can sometimes look like doing nothing?
This is what we call "duration".
Bear's entire job right now is to just chill right there
