Weave training with Fonzie
Just some fun in the backyard this evening. Finally got a break from the rain that’s been coming down for a week. Fonzie certainly was appreciative of the break in weather. His weaves are finally coming together.

Senga’s Visit
I’m so excited for Senga and Fonzie puppies. I cannot express how AWESOME this dog is. Senga came to visit for her date with Fonzie. Her mom is out of the country so she’s had an extended stay with us. She fit right into the pack. She’s amazing with my kids. She is the SWEETEST thing and is such a lover. Every member of my family loves her. All of the staff at the hospital love her. If you’re looking for an amazing companion poodle these puppies are gonna be perfect. Contact Cascadia Standard Poodles if you’re interested in getting one of these puppies. The breeding has taken place, now we just wait with bated breath to confirm her pregnancy. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 #urbanheropoodles #urbanheroshappydays #sengaandfonzie

Enzo retriever training
Enzo just like the rest of the family loves to pick things up and put them in his mouth. I have encouraged this behavior because it has a couple of benefits for me. 1. It prevents him from chewing up/swallowing things he shouldn’t 2. He learns to pick up things of all textures and materials all by himself 3. He learns delivering objects to hand and gets more reps of this behavior rather quickly due to his self motivation. If you want behaviors like this to grow and develop you have to have a couple of things in place: 1. Your whole family has to understand the rules of the game and have the same goals, signals and commands 2. You have to reward the effort EVERY TIME at least in the beginning (same with any behavior you’re developing). This is what creates muscle memory in the dog where a behavior becomes more like a reflex than a thoughtful response. This is how behaviors get ingrained. #urbanheropoodles #performancepoodles #servicepoodleintraining #huntingpoodle #urbanherosessereferrari

Enzo’s second mark of the day
His second mark landed in deeper cover than intended but I let it play out to see what he would do. Super proud of his perseverance! Bright future ahead for this boy. #urbanheropoodles #huntingpoodles #urbanherosessereferrari
