Blu is here for obedience training but his owner mentioned he would not jump in the truck so we changed that in one quick session. Having a large, physically capable dog load in and out of the vehicle saves your back and time.

Here’s a little training session of Dot doing scent work. There’s 10 containers and one box has the odor in it. Her indication (sign to tell me when she’s found it) is to point with her nose and freeze.

Our dogs in training sure didn’t mind this nonsensical weather! Share pics of your pups playing in the snow.

Dot completed her first AKC Scentwork trial in Houston this past weekend and did a great job! It’s such a fun sport for dog and handler. Pretty much any dog with a nose can do it!

We’ve got a full house this week! Here’s some of the faces staying with us for training and boarding.

MYTH: little dogs don’t need as much exercise. Small breed dogs can be full of energy, therefore require daily exercise like large breed dogs.

Calling your dog off from chasing chickens is a pretty great feeling. Evie doing some obedience and coming when called even though she really wanted to chase the chickens. 🐓

Day 3 of this sweet girl’s training. She’s with us for six weeks for on and off leash obedience. She’s already doing so well!

Our brush up class was a success yesterday. We went on a pack walk, worked on stays with distractions, let the dogs climb on some fun stuff, worked on their recall and ended with a game! We are so proud of these owners and their dogs. They’ve kept up their training and it shows.

Dog socialization. A topic that often comes up from clients. It’s not practical to expect all dogs to get along. Do you like every person you meet? Dogs have different play styles and personalities so certain dogs don’t jive with others. These four dogs demonstrate great skills and they’re different breeds, sizes and ages. I would not do this with just any dog. I got to know each one and gradually added a dog to the pack. They are very respectful of each other and play well. Being reactive is not acceptable but being neutral is.

LOOSE LEASH. Something you hear often from trainers and it’s what clients want to be able to attain when walking their dogs. It’s such a necessary concept when walking your dog or when taking them out in public. Your dog should not walk you and most dogs do. It can lead to so many issues. This was one of the complaints from Charlie’s owners but we have fixed it. Keep a short leash but not tight or tense. Walk your dog, don’t let them walk you!

Friendly faces of the dogs we have in training with us. None of them have any serious issues. They just need to learn some manners and obedience commands.
