Sweetheart Ravioli graduated training camp today! 🥳🎊🎉👏 This girl was such a joy to work with and she blended right in loving every bit of playing chase and catch and becoming friends with every person and every dog she met! 🥰

She went from a dog that couldn’t be trusted off leash because of her ability to outwit her owners when she knew her recall was optional as well as her innate chase instinct (we are willing to bet she’s got quite a bit of some terrier in that compact body of hers), and she blossomed into a dog that can now enjoy off leash hikes, play, and freedom. 😇

Plus, she’s got some new leash manners to help make her walks that much more enjoyable for both her and her family! We are so proud of you, Ravi! 🩵💜🐾🐕🧑‍🎓

He may be tiny, but he sure is mighty and he definitely knows how to have fun! We always love having Bandit visit! 🩵💜🐾

Pablo graduated this past week and wow did he come so far! From walking like a gentleman on leash especially out in public with all the distractions… to enjoying lots of off leash freedom… to being able to play respectfully with lots of buddies and not be so overwhelming, wow we are so proud of him! 🩵💜🐾🎉

Our little guy Kai graduated training camp yesterday! Nydia did such a great job during his puppy camp last year that it made his big boy camp go so smoothly. 👏 He still had some challenges to overcome but his foundation really helped him work through them quite well. We couldn’t be prouder of him and so happy that he gets to join his big brother Oliver on his off leash adventures now! 🎉💜🩵🐾

Brown Bear Sighting at Indigo! 🐻🤭

Nope… it’s just Eli. 😉🥰 It was so great to have the big guy here again! 🩵💜🐾

Gordy is back for a nice visit and this time he brought a new little sister with him! When we say Sophie has energy, we mean she’s got energy FOR DAYS!! Gordy has been trying to teach her the ropes and all the good manners he already knows, but she’s in desperate need of some extra guidance on that front so we are thrilled to welcome her to the Indigo family! 🩵💜🐾🥰

Now that Pablo has some stellar control on him and we can easily recall him if he’s starting to get too wild, he’s been able to really enjoy lots of socialization time with the other dogs. Scout, Osa, and especially Powder were happy to help show him the stream on the Indigo Trail that got a nice refresh after the rain last week. 🩵💜🌲🐾

Everybody meet Hootie! This guy came in and right away started to enjoy some back and neck massages, dove right into playing possession games and chase and catch, and going wild playing in the splash pad in the playground. Always wanting to be in the action, he’s here for some better leash manners, lots of distraction training, and some separation anxiety behaviors like whining, barking, and chewing. We have a feeling he’s going to be another one who doesn’t realize he’s really in for “training” since he’s already having way too much fun! 🤭🩵💜🐾

There’s a big difference between simply adding play to your dog’s obedience versus adding obedience to your dog’s play. Ravioli already had a really great foundation of playing chase and catch so it made adding objectives and rules to the play go very smoothly for her. Adding in the obedience after that is just the next stepping stone to her training while keeping her confidence up and free of stress. With this foundation, she’s ready for her second half of training where we can really start challenging her with distractions and the real world! 💜🩵🐾🐕🎾

Love it when we have two of the same breed in and they gravitate instantly to each other. 🩵💜🐾 Like do Rocky and Margaux know they are long lost very distant cousins? 🤔🤭🥰

Beating the heat this past weekend with the little-medium dog playgroup! 🩵💜🐾🏖️⛲️ 🛝

Such a great field trip today at Carderock before the rain comes with Chunk, Kai, and Oliver. Chunk has been working on his stair climbing skills and the Billy Goat Trail didn’t disappoint with him needing to climb all the rocks. He LOVES the water so being able to navigate all the obstacles in the Potomac really helped him gain lots of confidence while keeping him stress free and motivated to get it done. 🪨⛰️💪

Kai on the other hand has always had that “catch me if you can” mentality when it comes to his off leash recall. This was our first field trip off the property to really test his off leash skills and he passed with flying colors! Being able to enjoy wandering with his big brother Oliver, staying close enough to not have to worry, and always coming right back at each recall is really going to open up his world now. He’s headed to Hawaii in a few weeks and we can’t wait to have him really enjoy the island now that he is well on his way to being trustworthy! 🏝️🎉👏

Archie has been visiting us for over 8 years and it’s always great to spend time with this senior sweetheart! 🩵💜🐾🌲

08/04/2024

Everybody meet Ravioli! This cutie is here for training to work on her off leash skills, jumping, and chewing. The good news is she has plenty of motivation to help us funnel all that undisciplined exuberance into productive play and manners! She was a bit unsure of our playground obstacle path the first few times she explored it but has been gaining confidence more and more. Can’t wait to see how well she does these next few weeks! 🩵💜🐾🐕

Pablo is rockin’ and rollin’ with his training now and enjoying his off leash freedom! This guy is finally ready for some field trips and some more crazy dog distractions! 🩵💜🐾🎉

It’s Franny’s graduation week! She had a great field trip today in DC visiting the tidal basin and her home turf around Logan Circle. 👏🏠🐿️ She’s also been rocking her 100% off leash skills on the Indigo Trail. 👍🌲 A few more days of polishing and generalizing all her good manners with lots of other distractions and she’ll be ready to graduate training camp with flying colors! 🩵💜🐾🐕👩‍🎓

So great to see our big girl Maddy back for a visit! 🩵💜🐾🐕

Cookie LOVES playing Chase & Catch! She can be shy and unsure at first but playing games always helps bring her out of her shell and having some fun! 🩵💜🐾🎾

07/21/2024

Everybody meet Pablo who is in for his 4 week good manners camp! When we say this guy lives life to the fullest, we mean it! There's not many things this guy doesn't love... and we mean OBSESSIVE love! From the hose, to dogs, to people, to toys. Lots of heart and determination and as soon as we funnel all of that energy into a love language he understands to help with his control, he'll be destined for greatness!

07/21/2024

Beautiful day for a field trip in Old Town Alexandria! Kirbi practiced loose leash walking for a few dozen blocks, said hi to lots of people, checked out some historic tours, and played ball in the park. This girl is ready to graduate in just a few days! 🎉🎊💜🩵🐾

Zooey’s vacation at Indigo ends today and she got to show her little sister Franny all the ropes before Franny wraps up the second half of her training camp these next two weeks. It was great having the two of them here together! 🩵💜🐾

7 month old Honey is growing up to be quite the daring young lady! Still as playful, confident, and sweet as ever!

Not a whole lot of water out there for wildlife right now. Found this guy hanging out in the playground in one of the water fountain basins. Welcome to Indigo smart little guy! Can you spy him? 🐸🩵💜

Thank goodness our playground is nice and shaded because it’s tough to convince Ruby to leave sometimes for the A/C even when it’s 100 degrees out! 💜🩵🐾⛲️🛝
