Sable the Lab pup gets super excited and leaps all over people. Most puppies will behave this way as youngsters, this is completely natural and normal. This is so important to start teaching now, I'm sure we've all met a dog who clearly never got this lesson. It's not so cute at 50+lbs!
This is called free shaping, one of my favorite methods to teach. Notice I give zero commands, and the pup is off leash. I give the dog the freedom to choose her behavior. Bad choices are boring, good choices fun! Puppies do things for a reason, jumping for examole usually gets attention (whether good or bad, it's attention all the same.)
During this session she can jump all over, sniff, explore, bark, but it won't get her anything. Sitting, eye contact, heeling, laying down, those behaviors will all get her attention, play, and treats. You can see even at this young age she's really figuring the game out!

I just love Cattle Dogs. Such speedy, smart, sassy dogs! Herders are so intelligent and energetic, but they definitely need lots of training!
Fancy, prancey Pippie's day training session.
Megan boarded Pippie for a few weeks, and has been working with her at daycare for a few months.
Megan and Pepper Jack! 🌶
PJ has been coming to us for day training, group classes, and boarding. He's a very smart, spicy little guy!
Who has the faster down:
Lucky
Or
Raven?
Pickles was a sweet boy to have
We worked on his recalls and he did soo good with that, recalling off other dogs in the middle of playing even!
Bed stays, heeling, ignoring distractions.
He's a good boy who was so thrilled to see his mom and dad 💜
How's your dog's bed stay?
This is one of the many skills our daycare dogs master!
Jet recently finished his board & train with Megan. Here he's showing off his heeling and bed stays!
Jet had some anxiety and confidence issues we've been working through, and of course we're always doing obedience!
Jet's sister Aspen also did boarding with Leah, which can be a great way to take a break and get a "reset" at home. These two pups are very energetic, so training is a fantastic outlet for all their energy, and makes life a lot easier in the longrun!
Zoya's public manners have been coming along great!
She goes home this week after a long stay with Megan working on human and dog reactivity, advanced obedience, and leash manners.
I'll be sad to see Zoya go, but I'm so excited to see her and her people succeed together!

I've had Brody for 11 days and the amount of progress he has made is so fun to see.
His previous owner brought him to a group class and Brody was a wild child.
Loud, hard to get focused, excited about all the dogs.
With him and his wife being an older couple and Brody being a young, energetic husky, he realized they weren't the right match for each other.
Brody is going to spend a few more weeks learning all the things and then will be searching for his perfect match 💜
He really is SUCH a sweet, smart boy.
We're really enjoying him being here.
And his new family will have to be dedicated to his learning and will need to continue training with us.
Keep an eye out for more videos 😉
