Here are my must-haves:
✅ High-value treats (the stinkier, the better!)
✅ Good treat bag (Voila - the ultimate treat pouch)
✅ A 3-4 foot leash (The shorter the better!)

The Power of Impeccable Recall! 🐾🎥
Teaching your dog strong recall is one of the most valuable skills you can give them—and it’s a game-changer for your relationship.
In this reel, you’ll see how an e-collar with a beep feature is helping this pup learn to come back immediately upon hearing the sound.
The quick response not only ensures safety but also fosters trust and teamwork 💪🐕
✨ Top 5 Benefits of Recall Training:
1️⃣ Safety First: Prevent dangerous situations by ensuring your dog comes back when called.
2️⃣ Off-Leash Freedom: Confidently explore the outdoors while maintaining control.
3️⃣ Stronger Bond: Build trust and communication between you and your dog.
4️⃣ Reduced Anxiety: A well-trained recall helps your dog feel secure in any environment.
5️⃣ Enhanced Manners: Avoid distractions and focus on what’s important—your next adventure!
Using an e-collar responsibly, as seen here, makes the learning process clear and effective.
The beep acts as a gentle reminder, and this pup’s immediate response shows how recall training creates a calmer, more confident dog.

Meet Zuzu, the star of our latest Board & Train! 🌟
Zuzu is not just the cutest little pup; she’s also a dedicated learner!
During her time with us, we had the opportunity to work on a variety of skills, including basic leash manners, positive socialization, balance work, and even agility training! 🐕🦺🏆
Often, small dogs are given a pass when it comes to training, as many assume they can’t learn or behave as well. Zuzu is here to prove them wrong!
With her enthusiasm and determination, she’s showing that every dog, regardless of size, can excel in training 💪❤️
Board & Trains allow us to dive deep into a dog’s training needs and help them master essential skills in a supportive environment.
We couldn’t be prouder of Zuzu and all her hard work!
Let’s celebrate all the small dogs out there who are ready to shine! 🌟✨

🐾✨ Kids Make Great Trainers Too! ✨🐾
Involving your children in dog training can make a world of difference for both your furry friend and your family.
Here’s why it’s so important:
* Teamwork: Training sessions foster a sense of teamwork and responsibility. Kids learn to work together and communicate effectively while building a strong bond with the dog.
* Empathy and Respect: Teaching kids how to interact with the dog cultivates empathy. They learn to recognize the dog’s needs and feelings, promoting a compassionate approach to animals.
* Confidence Boost: As kids successfully train their dog, they gain confidence in their abilities. Celebrating small victories together creates a sense of accomplishment!
* Structured Environment: When children are involved in training, it reinforces the message that every household member is in charge. This consistency helps reduce the dog’s anxiety and the urge to take control, leading to a calmer, happier pet.
* Life Skills: Training teaches valuable skills such as patience, perseverance, and communication—lessons that extend beyond dog ownership.
When your dog knows that every family member is in charge and trustworthy, it decreases their anxiety and need to feel like they need to take charge. A happy dog means a happier home! 🏡❤️

🐾 Did you know balance and coordination work is essential for your dog’s health—especially as they age?
Exercises like this help strengthen underused muscles, boost core stability, and even prevent injuries down the road 💪✨
Take Shawnee here, who runs on the anxious side.
Activities like this take serious focus for him, but watch what happens when he’s on the boss ball …
👀 He stops whining.
🎯 He channels his energy into work.
🍑 (Slide whistle) …Well, mostly! Those slips are part of the process!
It’s not just physical—this builds mental focus too. 🙌
Your dog’s health, inside and out, starts with training that works for their body and mind.

Have a puppy? 🐶
Why finding the right trainer matters from day one!
Bringing a puppy home is exciting... but it’s also the start of their training.
The sooner you start, the sooner you can learn to effectively communicate with your puppy.
A qualified and trusted trainer will give you strategies to happily live with your puppy, and create a training plan to lock in good behaviors early, and avoid problem behaviors later ✅
Early and successful socialization is critical to your puppy’s long-term well being. Its just as important as consistent training.
A well-trained dog is a happy dog. And a happy dog makes for a happy home 😊
Have a puppy, or are planning for one?

Meet Aggie, our sweet senior pup who’s lost her hearing.
Mike has stepped up to the challenge, and has changed her training where he only uses hand signals. Aggie already knew both verbal and hand signal commands, but until this point, Mike only used verbal or sounds to mark behavior.
The transition to hand signal markers was easy because Aggie has lots of eye contact training, and after a few minutes of “marker charging”, Aggie started to read and understand the difference between the “yes” marker (thumbs up), and the “good” marker for duration (making a fist).
It’s incredible to see how they’re adapting, using hand signals and visual cues to stay connected.
Every dog, no matter their age or ability, deserves to feel understood and loved.
