Help us welcome Harvey to our Board & Train program! Harvey is in the prime of adolescence and has some behaviors his family would like to see less of (jumping on people, pulling on leash toward other people and dogs, barking out the window) and brushing up on the basic cues and behaviors his pawrents have been working on, but that Harvey is a little selective with responding to! We're excited for his progress and are happy to see him settling in with Cowboy, the other Golden boy we have in our program right now!
Welcome to Board & Train, Cowboy! He's with us for a bit to continue our streak of Golden Retrievers - just kidding, he's going to be working with Leann on a lot of the basics: basic cues and behaviors, leash walking skills, a cue to encourage pottying, and, also, being able to walk past other humans without such a strong need to say Hello! Cowboy's settling in well and getting along beautifully with Cassie, the other Golden Retriever with us right now!
Hana went home after her Board & Train stay and how lovely of a stay it was! It was so windy during a lot of her stay, she looks as though she's part of a shampoo commercial in a bunch of the video clips; but a lot of work - not just modeling - was done while she stayed with us! We're so pleased with her progress and we're so excited to see what her pawrent does to build on it!
Help us welcome Coco to Home School! This super fluffy gal is quite the social butterfly, so we're going to be working on her jumping/polite greetings, leash walking skills, and saying Hello to fewer people when out on a walk and in public! Her pawrents are anticipating the arrival of their first human baby soon, so shoring up these skills will be helpful to them when they have guests to see the baby and want to take the whole family on walks and outings! Coco's showing us that she's an eager learner and a spicy smarty pants, so we're already having fun working wiht her! 😄
Benny went home after his Board & Train stay a bit ago, but we didn't want to miss showing you what a fantastic time he had while he was here! He and Leann really, really hit it off and she'll miss his goofy face! We're so excited to hear how his family continues to build on the progress he made while he was with us!
This pretty gal is Cassie and she joined us for her Board & Train stay near the end of last week! She took a couple of days to get settled in, but we've turned a corner and she's getting into the good stuff now! Cassie joined us to work on a variety of skills and behaviors: less jumping on people, less chewing on inappropriate objects, leash walking skills, less digging in the yard, some house training concerns, and a lot of the basics! Cassie hasn't had a lot of formal training and is a rambunctious teenager, both conditions that can make things a bit of a challenge for her older pawrent; we're hoping to help iron out some kinks to make things easier for both Cassie and her family!
Welcome to our Board & Train program, Hana! This sweet gal is settling in beautifully and we can't get over her cute, button nose! Hana is here to work on leash walking skills, Stay, playing fetch, and using her voice to get what she wants a little bit less!
Welcome to Home School, Lucille! She's not in a very big package, but Lucy can have some pretty big feelings about other dogs and people! We're going to be working on making walks a little (or a lot) calmer and more enjoyable for both Lucy and her human!
This handsome fella is George! He started a Home School program with us last week and is such a pleasure to work with! He has a sensitive tummy, so his treats are a little limited, but he doesn't care one bit - he's very happy to work even for just his regular kibble mixed with the approved treats! George can be pretty exuberant with his greetings, so we're working on making those a bit more polite and providing his pawrents with a process they can follow; he also can have a hard time with people passing by the house and yard, so we're working on calmly observing from our couch cushion and our side of the fence! So far, he's doing beautifully and we're so excited for him and his family!
Miss Daphne started a Home School program with us last week and is doing beautifully! She's eager to learn, has a silly, fun personality, and is pretty happy to participate in anything you're working on! Being a young doggo and the family's first puppy, Daphne and her family have a lot of the basics as goals with emphasis on leash walking skills (so their two young kids can help with walking an exercising Daphne) and polite greetings, since she's still young enough for jumping and mouthing to be part of those!
This gal is Molly! She joined us earlier this week for a Board & Train stay and is settling in well at Leann's house! Molly and Leann will be working on a lot of the things a teenager need work on: Recalls, leash walking skills, Stay, and less jumping! We can't wait to see what progress she makes!
Jordy here joined us for a Home School program! He's going to be working with Jenn on his over-the-top excitement around other dogs and people! There's construction going on around his home and his neighborhood is very dog-friendly, so there are a lot of times he can overpower his pawrent, so he'll be working on keeping his cool and making other behavior choices! As you can tell by his smile, Jordy's already enjoying himself!
