Second week of training for Sweet Little Max Bodytko. She is now officially 10 weeks old and gets to play with training mixed in. She is so darn cute. She is opening up like a Rose in Summer sunlight. Greg and Cheri Bodytko are so blessed to have this diminutive (for now) German Shepherd Dog.

Leash tutorial with Little “Casey” Luca, owned by Rob and Gina Luca of Wallingford. We actually use many types of leashes to eventually to start off-leash work.

Pups can sometimes bog down with a lengthy training session, or too much pressure. You will hear Rob at the end proudly mentioning his puppy. It takes structure, work, and balance, to have a well rounded relationship with your dog. Thanks again to Rob for doing the video. PS: Casey had some extra training reward today!

Good Morning to all of Canine Cadré Clients, Friends, and Associates!

We wanted to announce that there are only 7 Distraction Classes left in 2024. (If you have not finished them this year, it is okay, your dog has them for his/her lifetime.)

There will be NOT BE a DISTRACTION CLASS ON the 30th of November due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. There are also no distraction classes if it rains since we have no room inside for over 12 dogs.
December 14th will be our last one this year until Mar/Apr 2025. Try to finish yours up if you can!

Puppy Socialization is year ‘round!

Remember, we have a special package of Distraction Classes for those who need to brush up on their skills.

Once you finish your first private program, we have additional blocks of training tailored to your dog and your goals!

Thanks for coming to Canine Cadré and giving your dog the best life you can!

Rest in Peace Gary Hanrahan! Mein Gott! I cannot believe it! I just heard about it today. Gary and Klaus brought Lissy Vom Haus Mezori, bred to Lewis a Vice Bundessieger for two years in a row, over from Germany for me.

T. Floyd wanted a puppy out of that litter but I said no. We bred her again and had to drive her down to Alabama. Gary had me take some hits with Pirol who was an amazing dog.

He and Pam were so good to me and my family. Gary was one tough Hombre. He was also such a great father to his son. My Apprentice Erich Stump moved to Alabama to go on to Vet School and Gary trained him quite well.
One memory is standing at the Northeast Regional in the mid 1980’s and standing next to Gary Hanrahan, Gene England, Mike Pinksten, and Stemmi.
I kept my mouth shut and my ears open and just knew I had to get to the trial field someday.

When I saw Mike Pinksten walk down that field like he owned it, I adapted his motivational pace.
Gary was, and will always be, Schutzhund Royalty.

We all Cannot forget him on the cover of Schutzhund USA, and his Pro Plan commercial where he said, “Ya Gotta have a Plan!” I never thought my son Erich Paquette would become a very good Helper in Schutzhund. Gary would have liked to know that. Pam, I hope you get to see this. We are all here with you Pam! Dave, you are also such an integral part of Schutzhund yourself. Gary is choosing our dogs and keeping the fields ready up in Heaven.
Watch out, Pirol is with him!

Whether you know it or not, if you do IGP in the USA, it is because this man paved the way. RIP Gary. Roll Tide Roll…..
