When your dog masters a skill, it can be hard to know where to go next! The 3 Ds are a great rule of thumb to help you advance the cue or skill while still setting your dog up for success!

Does your dog like to counter-surf? Or jump on every person they say hi to? Or both?

Our Impulse Control Workshop will give you all the tools you need to help develop your dog's impulse control, so they can choose alternative behaviors instead of jumping!

Ice treats are a great form of enrichment! They can help your dog cool off on a hot summer day and provide mental stimulation to help tire them out. It's the best of both worlds and super tasty 🫐🥜🧊

Trainer Tip Tuesday: Potty Training Edition

When you first bring your puppy home (or any time you regress with potty training), make a detailed log of everything your puppy does. This will help you better predict times you need to take your puppy outside or times they are more likely to need to go. Every puppy is different so it will help you narrow down what routine works best for your puppy!

We hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th! And sending extra love to the pups who aren't a fan of fireworks 🎆🇺🇸

Trainer Tip Tuesday: Potty Training Edition

This is one is straight forward. Temporarily remove your rugs or make sure your puppy is supervised on them... and only on an empty tank!

We are always proud of our group class graduates, but seeing the progress of our shy dogs in Wallflower Class brings us so much joy! Living in the big city as a scared or shy pup can be so overwhelming, and we love helping these pups build confidence during class.

Trainer Tip Tuesday: Potty Training Edition

One of the most common questions we get when it comes to potty training is, can I use a pad now and get rid of it later? The answer is, YES! Don't be afraid to use a pad to start. Especially if you live in a place where getting outside is not quick or convenient!

24/06/2024

June is flying by which means 4th of July (and a weekend full of fireworks) is just around the corner!

More dogs go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year, because it's very easy for a dog to get spooked by fireworks and run out the door or slip out of their collar. If you haven't already started preparing, now is the time to do so! If you have any concerns or need help getting prepared, reach out to us!

Trainer Tip Tuesday: Potty Training Edition

When you're puppy is sleepy, have them confined in a crate or pen. When they wake up, take them right outside or to their pad. This is a time they will definitely have to go and you'll be able to have a successful potty for potty training!

Attention all puppy parents!

We have a few spots left in our next Puppy Kindergarten Class. This class focuses on utilizing a puppy's critical socialization window (ends around 16 weeks) to introduce them to all different sights, sounds and experience they will have throughout their life. In addition to socialization, class will also include play time and basic training to get you started off on the right foot with your puppy!

Trainer Tip Tuesday: Adolescent Dog Edition

Keep up with your training! We often get the impression that after the basic puppy training is done, that we're in the clear! But adolescent changes mean we have to be as consistent as ever with training.
