🌟 Meet Molly! 🌟 Recently rescued, Molly is still adjusting to her new world. She's not yet familiar with people, other animals, cars, or the sounds of busy streets—like loud trash trucks and bustling crowds.
Now in week 3 of her Board and Train program, Molly has already made incredible progress! She’s gone from growling at everyone to learning how to navigate her surroundings with more confidence, reducing her fear and reactivity. While we can't expose her to the entire world in just a few weeks, both Molly and her owners are gaining the skills they need to tackle new experiences together. They'll also be participating in group classes to enhance her socialization and continue her rehabilitation journey.

🐾 Say hello to Mystery! 🐾 This lively young lab puppy is taking her first steps toward mastering store etiquette!
While going to the store is second nature for us, it can be a whole new adventure for our dogs. Just like us, they need guidance and practice to understand how to navigate these bustling environments. In this video, watch as Mystery works on her walking, responds to commands, and takes time to relax in between—she's doing fantastic!
I’m so proud of this sweet girl! With all her energy, she's learning how to manage her excitement in a way that makes outings enjoyable for everyone.
If you want your dog to join Mystery in shopping like a pro, I’m here to help you achieve that goal! 🛍️✨
Don’t forget to like and share this with all your fellow dog enthusiasts! ❤️
🎃 OWNER SHOUTOUT 🎃
A big shoutout goes to Karen Zingale La Salle and her young, high-drive cattle dog, Cricket! Karen signed up for our board and train program this month. Unfortunately, after just five days, Cricket went into heat, so we've had to reschedule her last three weeks for November. In the meantime, Karen has been working diligently with Cricket to help her become less reactive in public. She even took Cricket to herding class, which is amazing! 🤩 I love seeing owners engage in breed-specific sports with their dogs.
Cricket used to bark at every person and dog she encountered and chase after all the four-wheeled things. While she’s not perfect yet, Karen handled some challenging moments during trick-or-treating yesterday. She reached out to me with questions on how to manage the situation and showed great understanding of the fact that Cricket is still learning. For some dogs, Halloween can be quite stressful!
I absolutely love receiving pictures and videos of owners working with their dogs in real-life situations, addressing behaviors and rewarding the good ones! It’s easy to get caught up in the trick-or-treat chaos with kids and overlook the dog, who often needs more feedback from us than we realize in those moments.
If you’re putting in the effort at home and want to share pictures or videos of your dog doing something cool, or just a snapshot of what’s been happening, please send them my way!
Keep up the fantastic work, everyone!👻
Blu is now on her second and final week of training, and she’s making fantastic progress! Not only is she picking up commands, but her confidence is really growing too.
At just 8 months old she’s improving her ability to hold commands for longer, learning to stay calm around other dogs, and enjoying playtime. We’re also working on helping her interact with others without jumping when she gets excited. Great job, Blu!
Check out her killing it on this wooden obstacle course !! Show her some love in the comment section 🖤🖤🖤
🌟 Watch Oliver Conquer the Wood Agility Course! 🌟
Check out Oliver navigating this intricate wood agility course! We have the full-length video ready to share, showcasing how we helped him tackle this challenge.
At first, Oliver hesitated to jump on the logs, and he also had some trouble jumping into his owner's car. However, through fun and engaging confidence-building exercises like this, he gained the skills and bravery to leap into the car with ease!
Remember, our dogs aren’t incapable; they just need guidance and support. Even if they start off scared, with the right approach and a strong bond, they can overcome their fears.
Let’s give Oliver some love! ❤️ If you want to see the full video of his journey, drop a pumpkin 🎃 in the comments!
