One of the best GIFTS you can give your dog (and yourself) is investing in education and training! Having a dog you can effectively communicate with creates a more solid bond and happier relationship with them overall. Opportunities to make life more fulfilling become endless… 🙌

We are forever grateful to those that take the time to share their story and experience with us! Not only does it inspire others that may be struggling with their dog to get help instead of giving up, but it also inspires us to keep doing what we love – helping people and animals live more peacefully together. ✌️❤️🐾

💫 THIS IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO 💫

Gracie graduated! 💜

She’s a 6 month old Rottweiler mix who joined us for our 5-day “Give Me Peace” Board & Train program. This gorgeous girl was here to learn all things puppy foundation and curb some unwanted antics! She’s VERY food driven, would mouth/jump like crazy, would refuse to move on walks, was pretty pushy during mealtime/playtime/around others/coming out of her crate, and would p*e out of excitement.

During her stay we worked on:
〰️ Leash communication and follow-mode
🎾 Enrichment activities and structured playtime
📚 Teaching basic commands
✋ Enforcing rules likes boundary respect
🧘‍♂️ Improving energy regulation ability
🚫 Correcting impolite choices like jumping
↔️ “Out” command to create space/drop items when told
🐶 Polite choices around others
💅 Nail trim/grooming conditioning
🐱 Increasing impulse control
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced routine

Gracie was such a fun puppy to work with and truly loves learning! She’s now capable of relaxing when needed, can walk politely on a leash, and responds fabulously to feedback while she continues to learn. Her family did a great job during their go-home session as we showed off her new skills and her mom practiced new techniques. Very proud of Gracie’s progress and of her family for getting the help they needed! We’re thrilled to report that they’ve already noticed major improvements at home and are enjoying a more well-rounded pup.

A recent update from her mom included:
“I am AMAZED. Gracie did amazing coming out of her crate this morning without p*eing! And already today we’ve practiced place… and we just got back from the best walk I’ve ever taken with a dog! … Thank you so much!!” “And on two separate occasions she’s picked up sticks in the yard and she immediately dropped them the first time I said out 🤯”

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, GRACIE! 🎓

Dexter graduated! 💛

He’s a 1 year old Yellow Lab who joined us for our 2-week “Give Me Peace & Unity” Board & Train program. When he first arrived, he was quite a handful! He pulled extremely hard on leash to the point he couldn’t be walked, jumped/mouthed on everyone, had previously broken out of his crate and injured himself, garbage/counter surfed, was super pushy getting out of the car/in general, went crazy with excitement when people were visiting, had separation anxiety, and could not settle himself down.

During his stay we worked on:
〰️ Leash communication to stop pulling
🎾 Enrichment activities and structured playtime
📚 Teaching basic commands
✋ Enforcing rules likes boundary respect
🧘‍♂️ Improving energy regulation ability
🏠 Crate conditioning and relaxation
😴 Calm on command with distractions
🚫 Correcting impolite choices like jumping
💚 Ecollar communication and recall
✌️ Doubledown technique for mental peace
🐶 Polite choices around others
💡 Creating new coping skills
🐱 Increasing impulse control
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced routine

Dexter’s transformation was incredible! He THRIVED with clear feedback/expectations and was finally able to rest his busy brain, release anxiety, and gain so much mental stability. His mom did an awesome job during her training as we targeted areas of weakness and proved to him that she’ll be continuing the leadership he was desperately craving. Super proud of Dexter’s progress and of his mom for getting the help she needed! It’s such a wonderful feeling to help dogs AND people have stronger bonds, more opportunities, and a bigger life together.

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, DEXTER!🎓

Izzy graduated! 💖

She’s a 1 year old Golden Retriever who joined us for our 2-week “Give Me Peace & Unity” Board & Train program. This excitable girl pulled hard on the leash, jumped on everyone to the point of knocking people over, couldn’t be trusted off leash, was very impulsive, and would play keep away with toys and not let go instead retrieving.

During her stay we worked on:
〰️ Leash communication to stop pulling
🎾 Enrichment activities and structured playtime
📚 Teaching basic commands
✋ Enforcing rules likes boundary respect
🧘‍♂️ Improving energy regulation ability
😴 Calm on command with distractions
🚫 Correcting impolite choices like jumping
💚 Ecollar communication and recall
🐶 Polite choices around others
💡 Creating new coping skills
🐱 Increasing impulse control
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced routine

Izzy is now such a pleasure to take places and show off her new skills! She’s engaged during playtime and has clear understanding of expectations both on and off leash. Her family did a wonderful job as we got her settled back home and had fun solidifying their teamwork. So proud of Izzy’s progress and of her family for getting the help they needed! They are excited to enjoy many more happy memories together with their newly improved pal.

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, IZZY!🎓

Is your dog’s behavior embarrassing in public❓🥺

Instead of pulling like crazy or having to stay at home because of their out-of-control behavior, we love helping dogs like Izzy & Dexter learn more polite habits. Our family-dog Board & Train programs are designed to first build a solid foundation of expectations that we then use to expand their skillset in real-world settings and scenarios. Clear rules and consistent leadership are helping these two become more reliable and confident no matter where they go.

Good job, Dexter & Izzy! 🐾❤️🤩

Is your puppy timid on walks? 🙈

Teaching them to follow along on leash in and outside the home where they are comfortable creates a predictable routine. We can then bring that same routine into new settings to building confidence and stability! Engagement and rewards can lead to more motivation as they experience new sights, sounds, and smells — shaping their outlook of the world.

Good girl, Gracie! 🐾❤️😍

Our current students have been practicing the “place” command!

When constantly being on the move or impulsively reacting to surroundings is your norm, it can be very challenging to be still. By practicing the art of doggy meditation, these three are learning to build their patience and relax their body and mind.

There are so many benefits of utilizing the place command during downtime with your dog, including:
💚 Increasing impulse control and confidence
💙 Preventing unwanted behavior like chewing, barking, and jumping
💜 Maintaining healthy boundaries and a balanced relationship

Good job — Dexter, Gracie, & Izzy! 🐾❤️🥰

Is your puppy crazy about food? 🤤

Instead of letting them inhale it from a bowl, we can direct their energy around this valuable to shape and reward desired choices. By withholding it when they make unwanted choices (paired with leash/body/object pressure if needed) and “paying” them for good choices, you will see them start making different decisions when they realize appropriate ways to get what they want. Patterning calmer energy and healthier habits while they are young acts as a stepping stone to more advanced listening skills around life’s many distractions as they grow and mature.

Good girl, Gracie! 🐾❤️🧁
