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! 🐾❤️🧁

Giving your dog rules and boundaries can allow them to have a bigger life! 🌎

Instead of getting dragged around or having to stay home because outings with your dog are too stressful or unsafe, we can provide them with the training they need to earn more freedom so you can truly enjoy your time together. All of our daily practice in and outside of the home is preparation for real-world listening skills around the often unpredictable distractions in different settings. Whether we’re navigating down the sidewalk or enjoying playtime in the field with friends — having a PUPS trained dog makes life easier and more fun for everyone.

Good job, Izzy & Dexter! 🐾🧡🐕

Please welcome, Gracie! 👋

She’s a 6 month old Rottweiler mix joining us for our 5-week “Give Me Peace” Board & Train program. This gorgeous girl is here to learn all things puppy foundation and curb some unwanted antics! She’s VERY food driven, mouths/jumps, will refuse to move on walks, and can be pretty pushy during mealtime/playtime/around others/coming out of her crate.

We LOVE helping puppies like Gracie learn a solid foundation to become a well-rounded companion as they mature! While we give her feedback for her choices, we’ll also be working on building her confidence and understanding of new expectations. She’s already off to a great start and is an absolute blast to work with. 💥

Stay tuned for pupdates! 🐾❤️🥰

Simon graduated! 😍

He’s a 2 year old Poodle mix who joined us for our 2-week “Give Me Peace & Unity” Board & Train program. This handsome boy was here to learn better walking manners and impulse control! He would pull on walks, go crazy around food, persistently scavenge, and didn’t always return when called.

During his stay we worked on:
〰️ Leash communication
🎾 Enrichment activities and structured playtime
📚 Fine-tuning basic commands
✋ Enforcing rules likes boundary respect
🧘‍♂️ Food manners deterring scavenging
😴 Calm on command with distractions
🚫 Correcting impolite choices
💚 Ecollar communication and recall
👶 Baby preparation
🐶 Polite choices around others
💡 Creating new coping skills
🐱 Increasing impulse control
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced routine

Simon is so much more respectful on walks and when passing hidden morsels along the way! He’s thriving with clear and consistent feedback and is forming much healthier habits because of the added leadership. His family did a great job as we applied a new routine at home and cleaned up expectations. We’re so proud of Simon’s progress and of his family for getting the help they needed! With a baby on the way, they are setting him up for many more safe and happy moments as their family grows.

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, SIMON! 🎓

At PUPS, we don’t only train dogs…we train YOU!

Halfway through a dog’s program we have their families join us for training and hands-on coaching. This gives them the opportunity to practice new techniques, make mistakes, and figure out what changes need to be made to prepare for a successful transition back home. It also gives us a chance to observe each team’s dynamic together and make adjustment based on their needs. For many, it’s their very first time efficiently communicating with their dog (without getting dragged around) and setting healthy expectations.

Good job, Dexter & Izzy! 🐾❤️🥰

Want to build your dog’s confidence? 😎

Setting up controlled obstacles like agility, new tasks, or real-world preparation provides them with opportunities to make mistakes where it’s safe and have you there to guide them. It takes the pressure off of you and the dog and gives you time to problem-solve together. This can include going over a stool/step/jump, learning a new trick, or getting used to different items/noises — get creative and keep challenging their comfort zone in successful repetition.

Good job — Dexter, Izzy, & Simon! 🐾❤️👏

PUPS training goes beyond the “classroom”❗️🌎

After teaching and patterning communication and expectations, it’s essential to proof choices around bigger distractions. This is what makes all of the new listening skills applicable to daily living! We setup tests along the way to provide important feedback that dog’s can then use to make different choices and eventually form healthier habits.

Simon used to pull on leash, become very pushy around food, and was always looking for things to eat off of the ground. This could be dangerous if he ate the wrong thing! We’re teaching him to only eat the food we give him — does that mean he’ll never try to eat anything he shouldn’t ever again? Of course not, we all make mistakes — but we can drastically increase the likelihood that he’ll make safer choices with consistent feedback. Now, he can ignore tempting items we may pass during outings (like nuts/seeds, old hotdogs, garbage, candy, or spilled dog food) so walks are more safe and enjoyable.

Good boy, Simon! 🐾❤️🍭

Does your dog pull, bark, jump, or just can’t ever relax when you need them to? 😩

This chaotic energy isn’t just stressful — it can also lead to prolonged behavior tendencies like anxiety and insecurity. We love helping dogs become the best versions of themselves! 🥰 Instead of having to leave them at home or struggle on the daily, PUPS-trained dogs get to experience a bigger life with more adventures. One of the best feelings in the world is having a dog you can be PROUD of by your side.

Our immersive Board & Train programs are like therapy, summer camp, and school all rolled into one! 😜 Each of our students enjoys a balanced routine while they learn new skills to form healthier habits. This includes playtime which helps them prepare, process, and retain information making them more resilient and better learners.

And this is only the beginning! Once clear feedback is given for choices, so much progress can be made; even just on day one. Anxiety and stress can be replaced with clarity and confidence leading to a more well-rounded companion.

Good job, Izzy & Dexter! 🐾🧡🐕
