Embarking Dogs

I'm super excited to get this guy started in our Walk & Train program this week! Benny is your typical teenage boy experiencing his first year of winter puppy blues, and it's causing him to have some big feelings about seeing potential playmates out in the world.

Thursday's Puppy Excursions group has officially transitioned into Adolescent Adventurers! They had their off-leash adventure in the wild today. Each puppy wore a 20-foot drag line that I lovingly refer to as "training wheels." These lines allow me to stop them quickly or otherwise manage as necessary, a very important piece to off-leash training. After several weeks of working with this group safely fenced in a local it was lovely to see how easily they all transferred the skills to a very new environment.

Afterward, we went to visit Barkley Village to work on focused leash skills and ignoring people, dogs, and geese. Fabulous job today, Teams Bowie, Buns, and Crosby!

Last night's Quest 4 session at the mall was so much fun! Teams Josie, Rio, and Jude did an awesome job at walking through the corridors together, holding stays with distractions, and relaxing in the good court.

I say it all the time. Find your dog's "chips & salsa" and practice practice practice outside of the context in which the skills are needed.
