The Basic Houndations - Dog Training

Phoebe just finished up her last session with us and can't contain her excitement! After a traumatic event she lost all trust in other dogs, and taking her out and about became too stressful. Her mom found us and we started to rebuild Phoebe's confidence. This photo was taken at a DOG PARK after a fun trip to the local pet store! While she still has some work to do, we made great progress with her reactivity and fear. Now with new training tools, her mom can continue working on her confidence and start to enjoy taking her out again 💛

Good morning!

Its pumpkin season 🎃 and many people don't know of the incredible benefits that pumpkin provides for your dog.

Be sure to not let them overindulge, because too much can give them an upset tummy.

Thank you for following us and allowing us to teach you about your dog! 💛

A growl is often a healthy warning given by dogs to express that they are uncomfortable with whats happening.
Punishing a growl is going to make them feel unsafe and may even cause them to resort to a bite.
We encourage you to always advocate for your dog and their comfort. 💛

It's time to go back to school!

While the kids are away learning, it's a great time to enroll your pup in classes as well. Dogs can become stressed out with new school routines and not seeing their family as often, but there are always ways to transition smoothly.

Our private scheduling process offers you flexibility with school schedules, and we can help to book lessons when it works for YOU!

Why are we called The Basic Houndations?

Because the basic foundations of obedience training are the stepping stones to more advanced training.

Our training techniques are focused on helping dogs realize their full potential and build their confidence. Once a dog has a strong understanding of obedience they can move forward to specialized training like hunting, search and rescue, agility, and etc.

Let us help you build your bond, build your confidence, and show your dog what they can really do!

• Control their impulses
