Congrats to Winter Gardens newest Canine Good Citizen, Koda and his mom Lauren!! Koda is a 2 year old Doberman and is as sweet as can be! Lauren takes pride in the training she has done with him and their hard work has paid off as he aced his CGC test!! Congrats to Koda for showing off his canine good manners and to Lauren for being a responsible pet owner! 🥳🐶

Contact me if you’d like to have a Canine Good Citizen too!! You can learn more about the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen test at their website: https://www.akc.org/products-services/training-programs/canine-good-citizen/

Do you guys remember Norman?? He earned his novice and intermediate CGC trick titles with me last September. His mom Lindsey is busy working on getting a versatility title with him, so they are focused on training in as many areas as possible! I LOVE this because training will mentally tire your dog out so they don’t engage in inappropriate behaviors, will increase your bond, AND establish your leadership!! If you’ve worked with me before, you’ve heard me say “a tired dog is a well behaved dog”!!! Get out there and train your dog!! 🐶 💁🏻‍♀️

Here’s Norman after he earned his CGC Community Canine and CGC Urban Canine titles!! A few weeks after this we tested him for the CGC Advanced Trick Title!! Go Norman and Lindsey!!

As an approved CGC evaluator through the AKC, I can help you earn these titles too! If you are interested in learning more about Canine Good Citizen, check out their website https://www.akc.org/products-services/training-programs/canine-good-citizen/after-canine-good-citizen/

Meet Norman!! This smart boy not only passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen test, but he also earned his AKC Novice and Intermediate Trick titles!! He performed 20 tricks for these titles, including commands such as speak, on your side, crawl, fetch, go find your handler, spin, and roll over. He is now working on his advanced and performer titles! Go Norman!! 🐶

If you are interested in doing the same with your dog, let me know! I am an approved CGC evaluator through the AKC! There are several levels of the CGC test, in addition to the 4 different trick titles!! Training should be fun for you AND your dog! 😃

Very proud of these pups and their owners for passing the Canine Good Citizen and STAR Puppy tests over the weekend. 🎉🎉

These dogs participated in a 6 week course that focused on obedience, good manners, and responsible pet ownership. Most of these pups have also participated in my beginner, intermediate, advanced, and in home training programs. These owners are dedicated to having a well behaved member of the family and I couldn’t be more proud of their hard work!! Way to go Buddy, Titan, Jolly, Jax, and Maggie!! 🐶

Another successful training session! This is Indy, a 3 month old mini Australian Shepherd. He had his first in home training lesson yesterday. His parents said this was all he did after the lesson! And he slept through the night for the first time ever! Looking forward to teaching this handsome guy the do’s and don’ts of puppy life! 🐶

This learning stuff is exhausting!!! This is Riley, a Rottweiler puppy who is going through my 6 week in home training program. We have had 4 lessons and it’s been great getting to see her build her confidence and be a well behaved member of the family as she learns the do’s and don’ts of puppy life!

Contact me today if you need help with your best friend!!! I provide both private in home classes and group classes.

Super proud of the progress Miss Harley made in training! She attended my 6 week AKC STAR puppy class and my 6 week Intermediate class! When class began, she was very reactive to the other dogs in class and it was difficult for her to focus on commands. With only a few lessons, she was able to ignore the other dogs and focus on practicing commands! Very proud of this lady! Here she is showing off her shiny STAR puppy medal!

New classes start Saturday October 7th! Spots are filling up quick! Contact me soon to reserve your spot in class!!

We've had quite a few AKC STAR Puppy graduates this month! Super proud of these guys for being responsible pet owners, which includes not only training, but ensuring their dogs are in good health and are safe! I've enjoyed watching all of your dogs learn and mature, as well as the bond with your dogs grow! Great job guys!!! 💕🐶

A tired pup is a well behaved pup!!! Training will strengthen your bond, reinforce your role as pack leader, and mentally tire your dog!!! Little Miss Poppy here is wore out from her training session! 🤣💕 As I was writing my lesson notes out for her humans, I looked over and saw her passed out! Success!!! 🤓👍🏼
