Bodie says “Just kidding! I’m just a puppy and love every day the same… as long as I get cuddles, play time, and get those yummy treats for learning”

Happy whatever day it is, from Bodie and Thinkers!

Throw back Thursday to this day last year:

When Ginger came to me last week, she would scream at the sight of Apollo from across the room. After a lot of work, she’s finally starting to feel better about other dogs and seems to be rather fond of Apollo ♥️ I love that I get to help little pups feel better about the world

Happy Monday! 🐶 have we mentioned how much we LOVE updates from our clients?! Even though we work REALLY hard to help your puppy get a strong foundation with us during our board and trains, the most important factor in the long term success for your dog depends on YOU as the pet parent! It’s so important that pet parents take the time to really understand the training so you can continue to support and guide your puppy as they grow. As a first time dog owner, Appa’s mom came to me overwhelmed and even a little scared of Appa. Updates like this make all the p**p accidents and sleepless nights worth it ❤️

One of the most important parts of puppy training is socialization. Contrary to popular belief, socialization isn’t just about meeting new dogs and people. Socialization is all about introducing your puppy to new and novel things, and helping them have positive experiences through it. When Daisy first arrived at Thinkers, she was nervous about almost everything, so we started slow, with a lot of help! Here’s a video of Daisy meeting a weird shiny, crinkly thing for the first time, you can see her confidence slowly building as she goes 😍

Sweet Daisy was a wonderful student ❤️ Timid by nature, we worked hard on helping build up her confidence to new and novel situations! Follow us for some cute upcoming videos of helping Daisy build her confidence through fun socialization!

Check out Truffle’s progress with fetch from just a couple of days! He’s such a smart boy!

Training Between The Ears’s intermediate bridge is a great way to give our dogs an extra level of communication and can be used in so many different ways. Here’s a video of me teaching Truffle how to fetch using the intermediate bridge 😍 I think he’s starting to get it!

When Lady’s mom reached out to Thinkers, Lady was so anxious and scared of the world that potty training seemed impossible. We started to meet for private lessons and Lady’s mom did an AMAZING job implementing all of training. Lady’s mom always makes sure that Lady gets all of the behavior support she needs. Today we walked along the busy boardwalk around Lake Austin and Lady was happy and relaxed passing by tons of people, bikes, and other dogs. She was even walking loosely on the leash next to mom. Training can seem like a lot of work at times, but it’s all worth it once you see your puppy flourish in situations that used to make them panic. We are SO PROUD of this superstar duo!

What are the chances that two Thinkers alums would end up wearing the same Halloween costume?! We LOVE getting happy updates from puppy parents 🥰 especially when they include cute costumes. Chunk and Appa say “rawr!” 🦖

Happy Halloween from all of us at Thinkers Dog Training! 🎃 👻

Chunk LOVES to play fetch, but that normally means getting so excited that he starts body slamming, nipping, and playing keep away or tug with the toy. Chunk needs to have surgery for his cherry eye soon and the vet needs him to stay relatively calm for 6 weeks after the surgery. His parents were worried that they’d have to stop playing fetch with him completely for this time, which is heart breaking because did I mention Chunk LOVES fetch?! So instead we’ve been working on relaxation exercises and adding more structure and guidance during fetch. Here he is being the GOODEST boy 🥰

Little Sadie has been learning a BUNCH with us with our ‘Home On The Weekends’ program! Here’s an adorable video to show her progress with the stairs. With all that confidence, it’s hard not to stare! 😉

Little Everest goes home today! When she arrived at Thinkers she was frantic, insecure, and everything new was scary. We worked really hard to help her have positive experiences with as many new and novel things we could get a hold of! Since her stay, her optimistic curiosity has blossomed, so much so that she decided it was cool to hang out in the once-terrifying red wagon (even if it wiggles a bunch under her feet)! We are so proud of this brave girl!

Meet our newest board and train, Everest ❤️ saying that she LOVES the water is an understatement

06/08/2020

When Muffin came to Thinkers he was terrified of water, much to the dismay of his family. They had bought him a doggy pool to keep cool on these schorching summer days and Muffin would tremble with fear when they tried to put him in it. In addition to overall socialization, we focused on helping Muffin not only tolerate water but enjoy it! During our go home lesson, his family was shocked that he jumped into the doggy pool all on his own. A few days later, Muffin’s family sent us this video ❤️💦 we are so proud of Muffin and so excited that he now gets to cool down in his doggy pool on these hot Texas days.
