Training That Lasts

We always take a picture of every dog during each we do. This is just about half of the dogs from the past month. We love working with dogs but we couldn’t do this kind of training if we didn’t like working with people too.

Most dogs, unless they’ve experienced serious trauma, are absolutely trainable.

Here’s the thing... we don’t just train dogs. We train the person training the dog. Your dog deserves a leader, and we’re here to help bring out the best in you!

We have had more then a few people ask where they can find our single ingredient, high value treat recipe so we released it on our site.

You can find it at https://trainingthatlasts.com/homemade-high-value-dog-treats/

If your dog is even slightly food motivated and you haven’t integrated this treat into your training, you’re missing out!

Tomorrow’s group will be moved up due to the heat. Group training at Paws on Main, will be from 8:00-9:30am (If it gets too hot, too quick we could break early) We want what’s best for everyone involved!

Before You Let Your Dog Guzzle Water in the Heat, Read This!

If your dog’s active outside in the summer, your dog is hot. If they are panting and desperate for water, let them cool down before drinking water, definitely don’t let them gulp water. Here’s why…

When dogs are overheated and breathing hard, chugging water too fast can:
• Cause bloat (a dangerous, potentially life-threatening condition)
• Shock their system (especially with really cold water)
• Disrupt breathing and digestion

How long should you wait before offering water?

Generally, wait about 3-5 minutes after heavy activity before offering water. Let their breathing slow and allow them to cool down 3-5 more minutes before giving them some more. Better to be safe!

Train smart. Hydrate safe. Keep it cool.

This fine couple from California had adopted a puppy from Hoosier Canines last year and requested a 3 week board and train from us prior to picking up Kali. She was a great dog and they are great people. We appreciate the awesome testimonial!

Important Phone Update:

We recently ported our main phone number to a new platform to give you better service through calls, texts, and more. Since the switch, we learned that texts from iPhones or iMessages haven’t been coming through.

We’re actively working to resolve the issue with Apple and carrier, but in the meantime, if you’ve texted us in the past three days and haven’t received a response, please message us here on Facebook so we don’t miss you. Customer service and having open lines of communication is something we encourage.

We apologize for any inconvenience and we sincerely hope that if you did message us, and didn’t get a response, that you don’t take it personal. We appreciate your patience as we get this fixed.

The reason for switching the main number to a different provider is to provide better customer service. This is a temporary hick up for the greater good
