4 Year Old Lab Conquers Obedience

Molly is a 4 year old female yellow lab. She is loving and silly with her family and trusted friends, but weary of strangers around her family, and especially in her house. She will bark like crazy along her fence line at home at any dog, person, or delivery car that goes by. She also recently nipped at a guest coming into their home. She will lunge and bark at dogs out in public or on walks as well. Her family didn’t know how to help her or where to start so they were ready to finally get some solid obedience and communication with Molly! During Molly’s 2-Week Board and Train we E Collar conditioned her so we could better communicate with her when she is off leash in the yard and heightened out in public or at home. We laid down some solid obedience with her first and foremost so we had proper communication with her, even if she was being reactive. We taught her a Place command so she felt she had a safe area to be in when guests were coming over and we also muzzle conditioned her so we had that extra layer of safety around new people. We took Molly out to a bunch of dog friendly places out in public so we could better show her how to work past people and dogs, and trust us to keep her safe. Molly had so much fun learning her obedience and was very happy to have her anxiety lessened by learning she can trust her handlers! She had the ultimate test at her turnover with loud trucks, strangers coming past her fence line, and a mail man going by! She did awesome and saw that being calm and collected kept her safe and happy!

Milli is a four year old German Shepherd that was retired from breeding and rehomed to her new owners. Milli came to them as a very unsure, undersocialized, and terrified little girl. She would cower at fast movements, yelp and hide when hearing loud noises, and was very fearful of new environments and men. After three months with her new owners, Milli was still hesitant around her new dad. Her parents desperately desire to give her the best life possible but needed help building her confidence and teaching her to navigate the new lifestyle she has. As returning clients, they reached out to us for help! During her time with us, Milli’s confidence really began to soar. She no longer cowers when you go to pet her or put on her collar. She has built healthy relationships with several men, even licking their hands and asking for pets. Milli can confidently Heel through and perform her commands in a variety of environments even under large amounts of stimuli. She can be held accountable for her commands and confidently execute them without a fearful reaction. Although trauma doesn’t heal over night and there is a lot more work left to do with this beautiful girl, we are already so proud of how far she has come and look forward to helping her continue to grow in her secure and safe new home.

Odie is a one year old hound mix that was rescued from a shelter in Florida after coming in as a stray. Odie didn’t know any commands, house manners, or even his name. With two Little People for owners, his rambunctious personality, remarkable drive, and ravenous need for attention made him extremely difficult to live with. Odie was notorious for pulling his owners down, jumping on them, knocking them over, and ignoring any verbal correction. He refused to jump in the car and was too big to be lifted. His owners were at a breaking point with him and feared both his and their safety. It was either rehome Odie or get him trained! So, they reached out to us for help.

4 Year Old German Shepherd, From Rude Dude to Proper Gentleman

Diesel is a 4 year old German Shepherd. He is sweet and silly with his family but untrustworthy of strangers. He recently had a run in with a kid that was rolling around in his yard and his parents immediately signed him up for training. His parents wanted solid obedience with him. Minimize jumping, have better recall, stop jumping and hand nipping. They also would like to have a way to ask him to stop excessive barking. Diesel was ready to get the solid obedience training he has needed for a while now! During Diesel’s 2-Week Board and Train we E Collar conditioned him so there never is another occurrence of him running towards a kid and us having no way to stop him. We built up his recall so his parents could let him run in the backyard without fear of losing him running to a deer or bear. We also took Diesel out to a bunch of dog friendly places out in public to work him around strangers and children. We also muzzle conditioned him so anytime his parents need that tool, he will be calm and accepting of the muzzle instead of stressed out. Diesel did awesome in his training and was happy to work his brain! He now will take a second to listen to direction or think about his choices before just running and reacting to something he doesn’t like. Keep watching to see Diesel go from rude dude to proper gentleman! -First Lesson Money Back Guarantee! -Lifetime Support on All 2-Week Board and Trains! -Interest-Free Payment Plans Available!

American Eskimo Service Dog Touches Up Obedience

Noodle is a 2.5 year old American Eskimo Dog. He already went through solid obedience training in the past and has been doing a great job as his mom’s service dog. He recently has started barking and strangers that walk up behind him or that try to pet him. Noodle needed to nip this behavior in the bud quickly to continue his service work. During his 2 Week Board and Train we refreshed all of his commands and built up his duration, which his mom struggled with. We made sure people knew that he wasn’t supposed to be pet as a service animal, but also worked on him learning to walk away when he feels uncomfortable around people instead of barking at them. Advocating for him and not letting people pet him helps his confidence as well so he doesn’t feel the need to bark. Noodle is a super smart boy and learned super quick!

Pepper is a three year old Hound Mix that came to us to learn how to work on leash manners and become more manageable for her owner.
