Did you know that pups enrolled in our Day School program don’t just learn good manners—they also get to go on exciting field trips with their friends? These adventures help build confidence, social skills, and provide fun, enriching experiences outside the classroom. From park strolls to sniffaris, our students are always learning and having a blast along the way!

Does your dog get super amped at the vet clinic?
Or maybe really scared and shy?

Both of these reactions are very common and can worsen as your dog ages. One of the ways to improve your dog’s behavior and stress level at the vet is to take them on short training field trips to the vet to practice their skills.

Make sure you call your vet first to find a good time to stop in (you don’t want to go when it’s super busy). Bring your best treats and keep it short and sweet! If your dog already knows how to settle on a mat that will be a big help.

Thanks to Dr. Dan’s Animal Hospital for allowing us to stop in today with their patient, Rip!

This week's group class was packed with valuable skills and confidence-boosting exercises. Here's a quick look at what we focused on and why it matters:

• Agility: Helps build body awareness and boosts confidence when navigating new or tricky surfaces. Plus, it's fun!

• Cooperative Care: Essential for
teaching dogs to be comfortable with handling, making vet visits and grooming a more positive experience.

•Recall Practice: A strong recall
can keep your dog safe in unexpected situations and helps them stay responsive even with distractions around.

Every pup made progress, and we love seeing their
confidence grow each week!

Do you have a shy puppy? People commonly use the terms shy, timid, and nervous to describe fearful puppies. Many think puppies are a “blank slate,” and their personalities are solely based on their upbringing. Nurture indeed has a significant impact on a puppy’s behavioral development. However, genetics also play a HUGE role in a puppy’s overall temperament and ability to handle stressors. In this blog post, we dive into the signs of fear in puppies and more! Link below! ⬇️
