Tommy and Nikki are enjoying their tandem obedience training through out the neighborhood. Obedience isn't good if the dog(s) only do it indoors!
Fish is enjoying the indoor confidence course. Check out this adorable dude having a blast while learning.
Summer's here and the living's easy...or so they say! When it's too hot to even step outside, we bust out the fun indoors. Robyn, our latest board and train, is learning the ropes while having a whirlwind time. She's as clever as she is cute!
Awesome progress! These beauties are leveling up their obedience, manners, and listening skills. They're going from taking their owners out for a walk to walking nicely in tandem, all within 2 weeks.
Ares is working to master heeling politely! And when distractions come around, he's all like 'stay, stay, stay'! He's a North American Indian pup, so yeah, work with him is a real treat!
Fish is on a mission to excel in obedience and manners, diligently learning the 'place' command and refining his heeling technique, all while maintaining his playful and affectionate demeanor!
Miss Lucy is working on her heeling and automatic sit out in the neighborhood. It's still a work in progress, but she is getting better daily. (We dont want to just show end results, we want to show the steps we take with each dog thats in our care.) Good girl Lil' Lucy
Do you ever have an itch you just cant scratch? Hahaha
Look at Rosie and Beau walking side by side thru Lowes, showing off their manners. They are doing a great job with only a few minor corrections. Rosie has gained so much confidence that she is eager to explore and see the world around her. We are so very proud of these two youngsters.
Rosie and Beau are showing off their stays and recall at Lowes! Great job guys! When Rosie first came to us she was a bundle of nerves and had zero confidence. Now this girl is calm, cool and collected! You can even see it in Rosie's body language!
This is Sig going down the escalator with his owner/handler. This service dog team is the epitome of perfection. They work together beautifully. We also had Sig doing his obedience off leash and staying right next to his owner throughout the store. We couldn't be prouder.
Sig mastering the escalator with his owner and showing how easy it can be when you are dedicated to building confidence and trust instead of forcing him to go on when he was unsure. We take our time and move at the dogs level. We want all the service dogs that train with us to enjoy their work.
Remeber the post about these two not being able to play without issues? Well look at Rosie and Beau enjoying some balanced play time. We are very proud of them and the progress they are making.
Dog training shouldn't be cookie cutter. So don't be afraid to think outside the box and come up with different and fun ways to teach a dog to do things. Rosie lacks confidence and she doesn't particularly care to be in a position that makes her vulnerable (laying down), so she is learning to lay down without even realizing she is learning. (We will get the desired results this is just a fun and different way for her to learn.)
Sadie has been doing a great job working off leash on her outtings.
Our dog gym is up and running. Schedule a time to get your dog some exercise.
In addition to helping train your dog, we also love to help with their physical and mental health. Do you struggle to keep up with your dog on walks, or wonder if they're getting enough exercise? Is it hard to get their walks in due to Kansas weather? Let's introduce them to one of our slat mills. They're powered manually by the dog, so they move at their pace, and stop when they stop. Your dog can walk or run a fast as they want in a temperature controlled environment. We can add slat mill time to any board and train package, or you can schedule a private time for you and your dog.
These good babies have been working hard on their obedience, manners and confidence. If you have something you're struggling with your dog on, let's talk. We can help with anything from basic to advanced obedience and competition, search and rescue as well as protection, therapy dog and service work. We would love to assist you in helping your dog reach their full potential.
