Leo❤️
Check out sweet Leo able to manage his energy and be obedient out in public! 😎
Bonnie is here in our two week board and train, in this program we focus on desensitizing your dog to distractions out in public. This fosters a level of impulse control that allows them to behave and be calm and relaxed when they would normally be overstimulated and excited. Bonnie's biggest issues were jumping on people and her owner and biting the leash when she was being walked. She's definitely got a different sense of things now! 
😍Chewy showing off at Taylor Park
Chewy is only on day 6!?!👌 His puppy energy was hard for his family to handle. He is doing amazing and was enjoying Taylor’s park around many excited kids and distractions.😍
Door manners
No more bolting!🙌👌
Therapy Dogs have many roles. They can relieve a lot of stress for a person just by that person being able to pet them and connect. They put a smile on peoples faces and warm their day. If someone is hurt, they can cuddle and make them feel better. Kids have a lot of different emotions and learning to cope and balance their emotions. Winnie is there to assist them in a positive day for them. Today while doing her regular routine, the school nurse needed her for a student that hurt herself at recess and was crying. Winnie was able to ease her little mind and make her smile and feel better. Winnie even at only 1 years old was born for this and becoming the perfect school Therapy Dog. ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
Some call us Dog Trainers, others can say Hero!😂👍
Nova is a runner, she will jump a 7 foot fence and peace out like she's a kid hitting summer break. She just wants her freedom! We're helping her get a different perspective of her freedom of movement and half way through her training. Check out her progress from day one to now!
Millie definitely has some issues with high energy dogs or kids getting near her and becomes wary and nervous. Come November she's going to be a big sister to a baby boy for her owners. So here in training we are working to desensitize her to how that might be for her. The goal is not to make a dog best friends with every child. It is to foster neutrality and a focus on command first and there are many ways to build from there as a child gets older. 
Sigrid was found running the streets of Richmond and the old owners were found and no longer wanted her. She has sat at the kennel for a long time and when we got the call we had to step in and give some free training and help her find a real home that will love her as much as she will love them. We already have an adopter that has stepped up and will get this amazing dog! I am only a couple days into training her and she has already shown us how amazing she is! Standby for another transformation!
