We’ve heard it all before…”consistency is key” and yes…it’s true.

To see the best results in your pet, training should occur several times a day, everyday. Even just 5 minutes, 3 times a day is more effective than 2 hours once a week.

Try it out and see what progress you and your pet make this week!

It is all about the bond you share with your furry friend!

Love and trust must be established before training goals can be achieved. Your furry friend is your companion and they look to you for guidance and protection.

Let’s focus on strengthening that bond and start considering ourselves partners with our pets to achieve those training goals! 🐾💕

A perfect sit/stay but that eye contact though!!

Why is eye contact so important on walks? Eye contact shows that your pup is engaged in the activity and is looking to his/her handler for the next command. Your dog should not be making the calls on your walks or during any activity. You are in control of your pet and your pet should recognize that and look to you for the next command.

Remaining calm, collected, and especially positive while working with your animals is so crucial in their development.

Imagine being yelled at and rushed when learning a new skill…how do you think you will associate that skill/activity next time? Probably not in a positive way. Guess what…animals are the SAME!

Make learning and experiencing new things fun and encouraging in order to keep your pets engaged and excited!

What a wonderful weekend with sweet Gnarls! Gnarls joined us for her second board and train this past weekend and she had the best time!

Main areas of focus for Gnarls are leash reactivity to dogs, learning how to read social cues from dogs, and basic impulse control. She showed great improvement from her last session and we look forward to seeing how much more Gnarls is going to improve and grow. Can’t wait to see you again, Gnarly-girl!

Physical exercise builds endurance and strength and can sometimes result in a long nap from your dog. However, it can take a lot of work to successfully tire a dog out with exercise only.

Mental stimulation and exercise is more exhausting, even physically. Dogs of all ages can participate in mental exercise activities whereas geriatric and painful dogs should not participate in strenuous physical activities.

Want more for your pup? Try both! Combine your daily walk/run with intervals of sitting/down-stays, eye contact and focus, and teaching other tricks.

Happy Monday, everyone!! We had such a great time with Lucy the past 10 days for her board and train and we miss her already! We worked on reinforcing basic commands with a focus on impulse control. Lucy made a lot of progress but of course she did not go home a brand new dog. After an intensive board and train, it is time for the owners to practice what they have learned as well. We will be continuing in-home sessions to be sure Lucy and her owners are on the path to success! We’re so proud of you, Lucy-girl!

A full day of socializing and novel experiences means Lucy gets to bring home a new toy!

A major part of training is putting a positive spin on everything taught so the pup is excited to try again. After Lucy’s long day of shopping, hiking, and meeting people, she deserves a relaxed evening! Always strive to end the lesson on a positive note, even if it means stopping early!

Snakes play a vital role in our ecosystems but also pose great risk to beloved companion animals. This article by Whole Dog Journal highlights an often overlooked component of training inquisitive pups!

Mention rattlesnakes and many dog owners worry that positive reinforcement isn't enough. In order to remain safe around rattlesnakes, your dog may need aversion training.

Taking your pup for a walk in the woods, neighborhood, or along a paved pathway such as the Beltline can be a great opportunity to bond and burn off calories! As the weather warms these locations will see more traffic.
Dr. Sophia Yin compiled this helpful reference for appropriate leash handling. Stay engaged with your pup when walking-it is a team effort! https://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/safe-or-unsafe-leash-handling/

People frequently ask me why I use hands-free leashes in my dog classes instead of letting owners hold the leash. One main reason is the hands-free leashes allow the clients to easily handle and deliver treats quickly, in rapid succession, and with correct timing. A less obvious but very important r...

Our weekend visit to the creek wasn’t the same without adventurous little Howie!
We always welcome canine companions on these trips so please reach out if you are interested in enrolling your pup in weekly activities!

If you’re like us and frequently hike, camp, or swim in nature you should ask your veterinarian if your pup has been adequately immunized for this kind of lifestyle.

Coprophagia, or p**p eating, is an understandably unpopular topic to bring up! This article does a great job of dispelling some of the misconceptions surrounding this unsightly behavior.

P**p eating.  Lots of dogs do it. Many are quite proud of it. Owners? Generally not so enthusiastic. What do they eat? The technical term for p**p-eating, of any type, is coprophagy. Many dogs…

Who knew xylitol was in so many products???
Most people know to keep toothpaste, sugar-free gum, and mouthwash out of their pet’s reach but often don’t think about what cosmetics and baked goods contain xylitol! If in doubt about the ingredients just place it somewhere safe! Puppies and inquisitive dogs both have a habit of investigating with their mouths-even if it doesn’t seem like food. Thanks Susan for sharing!

This xylitol products list can help you identify the brands to keep out of reach of your dog. Xylitol toxicity can be fatal to dogs. Extreme caution!

Boarding and training with us is just a bit different!

Meet Fiona! This 6 month old rescue is attending a 10-day board and train with us to work on basic obedience and reactivity to dogs while on leash.

Unlike many sleep-away training programs, we bring the trainee into a residential area and mimic a lifestyle similar to his/her regular home. Our trainees are taken to a variety of locations (depending on the dog's needs and training plan) to foster self esteem, impulse control, and proper manners through new experiences.

Regular controlled exposure to unique experiences is one of the best ways to build camaraderie and your dogs confidence....

Regular controlled exposure to unique experiences is one of the best ways to build camaraderie and your dogs confidence.

Remember to go slow and strive for a positive experience for you and your companion.
