Does your reactive/fearful dog make outings together impossible? 🥺

We can help! 🤗 It’s such a pleasure getting dogs out of a negative head space and into their true potential. We start by implementing structure and a balanced routine that’s practiced on a daily basis. This doesn’t mean we do the same exact thing at the same exact time everyday! It does mean that we enforce the same rules and follow through when we do certain things. This prepares them for better skills in public or when working around triggers.

Having rules and respect means we get to ENJOY more fun and adventures together! We incorporate warm up exercises, walking manners, down time, active play, quick repetition commands, trigger setups, and followthrough practice in different settings. Dogs can become more well-rounded, confident, and reliable when they have consistent guidance and leadership. We love helping dogs step out of their comfort zone so they can experience a bigger world.

Good job, Tilly & Blaze! 🐾❤️🤩

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 by the park — having a PUPS trained dog makes life easier and more fun for everyone.

Good job, Rina & Blaze! 🐾❤️🐕

Jack graduated! 👏

He’s a 3 year old Golden Retriever who joined us for our 5-day “Give Me Peace” Board & Train program. This happy-go-lucky boy was here to improve his skills around distractions in preparation for his parent’s wedding! 😍 He’s extremely friendly and sometimes his excitement can get the best of him.

During his stay we worked on:
〰️ Leash communication and follow-mode
🎾 Enrichment activities and structured playtime
📚 Fine-tuning 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
🎊 Increasing impulse control around distractions
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced routine

Jack is ready for the spotlight! We were able to figure out some missing pieces to communication, pattern responses to feedback, and build his impulse control around other people in preparation for their big day. His family did a great job during their go-home session as Jack’s handler for the event learned how to set the pace and even practiced walking down the “isle” around new people. So proud of Jack’s progress and a big congratulations to his family! We’re so happy to help prepare their furry-kids to be a special part of their ceremony.

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, JACK! 🎓

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, Tilly & Blaze! 🐾❤️🥰

Change can be hard at first, messy in the middle, but so worth it in the end! 🙌

Most dogs arrive here pulling hard on the leash, barking at everything, and sometimes even trying to bite. We love helping dogs like this learn exactly what they should be doing, gain confidence/impulse control, and overcome challenges. Our current students had some big breakthroughs this week and we couldn’t be more proud! Sometimes the first step is the most difficult — but you’ll never know until you try.

Good job, everyone! 🐾❤️😎

Want your party animal to be a part of your wedding ceremony? 🤪

Many people wouldn’t even dream of having their dog attend such a special event because of their behavior. Instead of dragging his handler down the isle, jumping on guests, peeing on the pews, or trying to eat the cake 🎂 we are preparing Jack (an exuberant Golden Retriever) to walk politely at a slow pace, ignore distractions when needed, resist temptations, and hold his position even if there’s paparazzi. 📸

While this isn’t a full rehearsal 😉 we are setting him up for success by fine-tuning his listening skills and impulse control. You’ll hear a tone and see a red display in the video to indicate when the ecollar is being applied. Along with his housemate Denver, Jack is on his way to being a charming gentleman for their parent’s big day.

This is a perfect example of how we can customize your dog’s training to fit your specific needs and goals! We love working with families that are dedicated to giving their canine companions the support they need in all areas of life.

Good boy, Jack! And Denver! 🐾❤️🎊

Please welcome, Jack! 👋

He’s a 3 year old Golden Retriever joining us for our 5-day “Give Me Peace” Board & Train program. This happy-go-lucky boy is here to improve his skills around distractions in preparation for his parent’s wedding! 😍 He’s extremely friendly and sometimes his excitement can get the best of him.

In order to prepare him for the big event, we’ll be sharpening his understanding of basic commands and adding temptations to proof his responses. His housemate and previous PUPS Grad, Denver, will also be getting a refresher so that both of their boys are ready for the isle.

Stay tuned for pupdates! 🐾❤️🎊

How can training in the home help your dog’s behavior outside?

Preparing your dog for real-world experiences doesn’t have to wait until the walk. By adding rules and tasks where you spend most of your time together, dogs can learn to build impulse control, patience, listening skills, social manners, and handler-respect. These can be transferred to other settings with consistency and continued practice.

This is especially beneficial for dogs that are pushy, impulsive, and reactive. We can add distractions in a controlled setting and give feedback when needed to keep them successful.

Good job, everyone! 🐾❤️🐕

What happens when your pushy, mouthy, impulsive puppy grows up? They turn into a BIGGER more pushy, mouthy, reactive, and potentially bitey adult. 🫣

People often assume dogs will grow out of unwanted puppy antics, but being able to practice these types of behaviors as they mature makes them more experienced and persistent. This is why early adulthood is the most common age for dogs to be surrendered, rehomed, or euthanized due to behavioral issues.

Fortunately, training can start at any age — don’t give up! Even if you flopped on puppy training, we can help your dog break bad habits and establish healthier expectations for a better quality of life.

We love getting dogs like Rina, who have quite a list of weaknesses but so much potential to turn them into strengths! Providing feedback to help them make safer choices with opportunities to direct their energy in positive ways can make a world of a difference.

Good girl, Rina! 🐾❤️🙌

Our Board & Train programs are customized for you and your dog’s needs! 🙌

This means we adjust our focus to ensure they learn skills that make your life together easier. We get to know each family’s dynamic so we can fine-tune techniques and recommendations that directly apply to your personal lifestyle.

Getting to know each dog’s unique personality and living situation allows us to give higher-quality training! Anxious/dog-aggressive student, Tilly, is working around other dogs to build confidence instead of resorting to biting and learning “double-down” to relax her nervous system when alone. Fearful/reactive student, Blaze, is learning how to follow along on walks instead of pulling/barking and gaining more positive experiences with strangers instead of freaking out at them.

Good job Blaze & Tilly! 🐾❤️😁

Please welcome, Rina! 👋

She’s a 1 year old Shepherd mix joining us for our 30-day “Save My Dog” Board & Train program. This big girl can be quite the handful! She pulls very heavily on leash and is very reactive to others — this makes walking her nearly impossible and even dangerous (she’s injured one of her owners in the past from pulling). Although she hasn’t landed any bites, we did get a few attempts/muzzle punches at drop off! She’s very pushy overall, will jump and mouth on people she knows, can’t be trusted off leash, doesn’t listen around distractions, struggles with separation anxiety when left alone, and will break out of a crate if she can.

We’re so happy to have her here so her family can have a fresh start! Much of Rina’s behavior is a result of over-arousal and lack of effective feedback for her choices. We’ll be setting clear boundaries and leadership while shaping new habits that her family can continue at home. With stability we can gain success, and with success we can gain stability.

Stay tuned for pupdates! 🐾❤️🙃

Make this summer the LAST summer of getting dragged around by your dog, having to leave them home because they are “too much”, or being afraid to have your friends and family over…
