Big to small, we train them all. 😉
Don’t think that just because your dog is small, that he can’t learn or wouldn’t enjoy training. Those little guys have a lot of personality and energy that can be better focused on positive behaviors! 🤩

An incredible write up about how too much freedom is not the answer for our baby puppies and how to successfully crate train! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How I crate train my puppies:
Kelce is 9 weeks old today and he’s been with us for a full week. He wakes up between 6-7 am, we go outside and potty, we come inside and train with food (following hand lures, recall games, building our marker words, crate games, facilitate appropriate interactions with my personal pack of cats and dogs), play for about 30 minutes, and then he goes back in the crate for an hour. Then I wake him up and we go outside to potty. Come inside and play and train for 30 minutes. Then he goes back in the crate for an hour. Then I wake him up, we go outside and potty, come inside and play and train for 30 minutes, then back in the crate for an hour. I do this all day long until 10 at night! He’s sleeping from 11 pm- 6/7 am consistently in the crate. I do not wake puppies during the night. If he wakes up, I will take him outside to potty but no kisses, no eye contact, no cuddles, no praise, no treats at night... just potty and back in the crate. I do wake them during the day- even if they’re sleeping in the crate. This is how I get my puppies sleeping through the night! He’s not having any accidents in the house or the crate, because I strictly supervise him and scoop him up if he is showing signs to eliminate and I manage his free time. Too many people give puppies WAY TOO MUCH FREEDOM before the dog has earned it. The puppy is no longer crying in the crate and he immediately self soothes and takes a nap. Sometimes I put bedding in the crate, sometimes I don’t. Kelce is not soiling the crate or chewing bedding, so we are giving him safe bedding sometimes, and no bedding sometimes. I want him to be able to self soothe with many different variables, and without getting him used to it being a certain way. We have avoided any unhealthy possibility for separation anxiety or containment phobia (or bratty tantrums) because we practice crate time all day long. We are on our way to creating a healthy balanced mindset and a dog that can perfectly self soothe. Kelce is going to have a great life filled with traveling and it’s important that he loves his crate! Plus he’s got a long flight to Florida in his future to go live with my sister!

Lucy has been boarding with us for years, and just completed a boarding/training stay to refresh some behaviors and fine tune others! You can turn any boarding stay into a training experience without investing in a whole program if you’d like your dog to be challenged a little more mentally during their stay. 💪🏻💖
Rey doesn’t understand what all the spring break hype is, but she’s happy to have a vacation on someone else’s couch 😉💤
Whether it’s a holiday, family vacation, weekend getaway, or remodel at home - we are happy to have your dog‘s stay with us in our home! 🐾
Boarding is $40 daily and transport is available. More information can be found on our website! 🤓

We had some beautiful weather this weekend, so the pups got to go hiking! Not only do we work on posing for cute photos, but we practice off leash recall, leash skills, and non reactivity to people, bikes, and dogs while hiking.
If your dog needs help with any of these and you have dreams of fun, calm hikes with them as the weather warms up, contact us today! No pup is too young to start working on these behaviors.
Tucker got a little spoiled on his way home yesterday! This dood has been coming to stay with us each year all the way from Chicago and we love having him ☺️☕️🧁
A reminder that getting a dog friend for your anxious or destructive dog is unlikely to solve your problems and may, in fact, double them. 😅🥴
Instead, let us help you with crate training, teaching your dog a safe outlet for their needs, and invest a little more time into the pal you already have. We offer private lessons and board & training to tackle these issues!
Serving the greater St. Louis area, text 269.845.0489 or DM us for more info!
The weather this week has meant so much outdoor time, and the dogs are loving it ☺️

All of our pals got offered a dog safe “pumpkin pie” treat! Not all of them were interested 😆🦃🍽🧡
It’s hard being a lab puppy in such a fun world, but Gracie is trying her hardest to be good and keep it together. 💪🏻 Working on engagement out of the house, leash skills, and impulse control today. 💜
Callie is a very fearful puppy, and this is a simple exercise to help build her confidence. Littles wins are big successes to a dog that is so hesitant! Especially with the roomba running, Callie wasn’t sure what to think of the @blue9petproducts Klimb table. We will keep building on this skill daily to help her gain even more confidence through her stay with us. 💪🏻🐾💖 #stlouisdogtrainer #dogtrainingstlouis #balanceddogtraining #puppylove #dogtrainingtips #stlouisdogs #stlouispuppies #dogobedience #dogtrainingclass #positivebasedtraining #dogtrainerlife #dogsofstlouis #puppytraining #dogbehavior #balancedtrainingmethods #dogtraining101 #dogtrainersofinstagram #puppyclass #dogtrainerslife #dogbehaviorist #stlouisdoglovers #dogtrainingeducation #dogtrainersconnect #balancedtrainingapproach #puppytrainingtips #dogtrainerforlife #dogtrainingtechniques #stlouispets #dogtrainingexperts #stlouisdoggies
Our foster dog MilkShake from @evenchancepitbullrescue is SOOOO excitable, but also a little shy! We are working on shaping her to get onto the dog bed and will eventually ask for her to hold still for longer and longer to practice a “stay” behavior and make her more adoptable! This is her first session happily getting onto the bed, I’m just waiting for some stillness or eye contact to click and reward - a few times I had to help her out with a lure, but she is picking it up fast! 🤩🥤💕
Sometimes even tiny issues with your dog can be annoying and time consuming to manage. We see a lot of clients with smaller concerns like “dog won’t load into car” or “dog won’t go down stairs”… and we can help! Ellie goes for car rides almost daily and had been lifted in because she refused to jump! In one session we fixed this issue so that her family can spend more time on the fun stuff and less time picking up their Golden Retriever every day 😉 We serve the greater St. Louis area, DM us or text 268.845.0489 for more info! 🐾 #goldenretriever #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #doglover #stlouisgram #stlouisdogs #stlouismo #smallbusiness #dogtrainersofinstagram #goldenretrieverpuppy #goldenretrieverlove #goldenretrieversofinstagram #jumpingdog #welltraineddog #trainingday #privatelessons
