Lab puppy meets flopping fish 🐟
10 week old service pup in training, Frankie, offered her assistance with unloading her toys from the dryer.
This Valentine’s Day, we got the BEST kinda chocolate!
Introducing, Frankie! An 8 week old chocolate labrador from @cedar.ranch.labradors. She will be living and training with us while she is on the journey to hopefully become a service dog for @freedomdogsorganization!
10 week old Colt has shown that he’s a fast learner and ready to begin progressing some of his behaviors! 📚 Here, he and his Mom @tayrenee_grooman_ are demonstrating his “leave it” behavior with food 🍱 in an open hand ✋🏽 His criteria for this behavior includes:
⭐️ No jumping/pawing
⭐️ Don’t grab at the food in the hand
⭐️ Calm & quiet demeanor
⭐️ Check in with Mom
= Get reinforced! 🥩
This behavior will ultimately progress to him learning to leave or ignore items that may be dangerous ⚠️ (such as chicken bones 🐔 🦴,) a nuisance (such as grabbing food off of counters 🍲 🏠,) or a big distraction (other dogs 🐕, squirrels 🐿️, sticks 🪵 etc.)
TTC’s star student Chico demonstrated his relaxed down at a soccer game this past week 🤩 At only 6 months old, Chico has proven that early training pays off! Chico LOVES soccer balls (he has two at home he’s deflated, 😆) but working on impulse control and mat work has helped him distinguish when it’s play time vs time to just hang out and relax 😴
Tori thoroughly enjoyed her Labor Day weekend; swimming, digging, and hanging out with friends!
What kind of fun adventures have you taken your pups on?
#WalkAndTrainWednesday
Walk & Trains are a new training option we offer to clients in the Corona/Norco area. They’re designed to provide our busy clients with an option to still have their dog walked AND trained, at the same time! The best part is, you don’t even have to be home for us to provide a walk & train- they trainer does all the work for you!
This is a great option for dogs of all ages and varying needs. If your dog struggles with leash pulling, reactivity, needs confidence building, or just needs to freshen up their walking skills- this may be the training option for you!
Thanks to @camp4lo & @milestar.tires, I had the opportunity to visit @bajarescueranch in San Quintin, Mexico. This wonderful sanctuary was created to help house dogs in need while they look for their forever homes. Many of them arrive at the rescue in poor condition and in need of medical care. Dog food prices are at a premium in Mexico, so to help lighten the load, @dogtrainingthatclicks was able to donate over 500lbs of dog food to help feed these hungry pups. If you would like to help with the cost of caring for these cuties or are interested in adopting, check out @bajarescueranch.

Puppy Class is in session! Come learn with us! Our next series of #GroupTraining begins next Monday, June 5th. ⭐️6pm Level 1 (for all ages!) ⭐️7:15 Level 2 (for dogs who have the basics and need a little more advanced training!)
Mat work- one of the first behaviors I work on with most dogs. Creating a targeted area the dog gets reinforcement and promoting a calm state of mind helps in all aspects of your dog’s behavior. This is the first time these dogs have all been together. If you haven’t started mat work with your dog yet, now’s the time!
Abe working with his Marine on shopping cart etiquette. It’s important that service dogs learn to stay close to their handler and behind the cart so that they stay safe and out of the way of other shoppers.
Working on loose leash walking with 9 month old lab pup Winnie while Zoey stays on her place. This is hard work for any dog, and both pups did great!
