We wouldn't want to deprive you guys on Buca's Graduation Photo 🎓

Big congrats to this hard working boy. It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with both you & your humans. Keep it up 🖤

Boop Buca's Snoot in Welcome🖤

Buca is with us this week for training. We have to note that this guy has some HYSTERICAL facial expressions. (I'll try to share what we capture in the story 😉)

Okay back to business!
Here to work on:
👉🏼Pulling on the leash when he sees 🐿️ or other dogs.
👉🏼Jumping/Counter Surfing
👉🏼 Consistency with commands around distractions

Of course we are laying a foundation of all things 👉🏼 obedience 👈🏼

His owners just want bit more clear communication between themselves & him + structure.

Good Luck Buca!

A great self reflection ❔to start the week.

If the goal is to create calmness or more neutrality, then our behavior can matter as well.

Here's a little experiment for ya. Take a can of soda. Shake it up nice & good... Now try to open it. What's going to happen pretty much every time? Well essentially, not a very pleasant soda drinking experience.

When it comes to our dogs, if we create a bunch of energy, we can't necessarily expect that energy to just clear away as soon as we move on to the next thing. For instance a walk. All that energy 9 times out of 10 is just going to transfer to your walk and create not a great experience.

Take this a step further. If we are consistently doing these behaviors we start to create associations. Cue the dog that gets overly excited every time ANYONE comes through the front door now.

Calmness is a muscle that you can teach your dog and with practice you can strengthen daily. If they are being calm, let them do their thing...

By no means is this the blame game. You didn't know any better! But now you do :)

So ask yourselves, is what I'm doing benefiting me or my dog?

15/06/2023

To sum up:

Step 1:Teach a reliable system.

Step 2:Add in real life distractions

Step 3:Take your new system outside (low stimulation)

Steph 4:Kick it up a notch in higher stimulation areas. Here's probably where you work through what you originally wanted to address. I.E. your dog getting excited every time you pass another dog.

Those initial steps might feel like extra work when all you want is that one thing addressed BUT they are SO CRUCIAL to your success.

We start inside with every single dog. If you aren't getting consistency inside odds are you won't get it outside.

Hope that makes sense & helps shed some light on the process.

"What do I do when..."

Is how most questions we get start. Our answer is never really just "give your dog this command."

A big part of our jobs is helping owners learn a new order of operations so that they feel confident and capable of trouble shooting any situation that may come up with their dog.

It goes something like...

👉🏼How can you communicate beyond just your words?

👉🏼 Evaluate the situation, what job can you give your dog to focus on to help them be more successful?

👉🏼Is the push back genuine push back or confusion that you should work your dog through? This might mean breaking things down even further to help them understand.

That's the magic right there... It's what makes a great owner & leader.

Bucky boy is also back home! From what we hear he is getting nice and settled into his new routine. The cat of the house is also enjoying the boundaries & structure Bucky learned while he was in. Ah, the many benefits of place 😂

Can't wait to see this handsome boy in a few weeks for boarding! I mean who wouldn't love seeing that face again?!

13/06/2023

Dunham is back with his humans... & we miss him so much🖤 That being said it's very clear he is in extremely capable hands 🙌🏼 We are honored to have been able to teach him & his family. This boy is going to make us so proud!

06/06/2023

Just two good boys🖤

06/06/2023

When you look at training like this it really feels more attainable.

Yes, training sessions & commands are important... But it's not the whole thing. I'd argue in many cases it's not even the MOST important thing.

All those little interactions that happen every day add up and do affect your relationship + your dogs mindset/behaviors.

More little things that are big that happen everyday:
-Coming out of the crate
-Going out to potty
-Meal times
-Petting (watch that mindset!)
-Putting the leash on
-Treats/rewards
-Coming home from work
-Advocating outside the home

Ya get the point?

01/06/2023

The boys during their walk today 🖤

Both have really progressed beautifully the last couple days.

Duny tends to be more distracted when we are outside with him so we have been spending time building up his engagement and focus.

Bucky likes to push back in his own little ways but with consistency & repetition we are seeing beautiful progress.

Hopefully this weekend we will be getting out and about to roll all the training over to public areas where there will be distractions and such.

27/05/2023

👋🏼 to Bucky too!

He is...
👉🏼 Also 8 months old!
👉🏼 Freaking adorable
👉🏼 Struggling to settle in crate
👉🏼 Occasionally having accidents
👉🏼 Here to work on obedience 🖤

His owners reached out because they haven't trained a dog in a long time... Well we are here to help with that training foundation & support!

So happy he's a part of the team this round of B&T's. We just know this guy is going to be great, and he and his family are going to thrive! :D

27/05/2023

Welcome to Dunham!

He's...
👉🏼 8 Months Young
👉🏼 Addressing obedience
👉🏼 A leash puller
👉🏼 A bit mouthy when excited
👉🏼 Handsome
👉🏼 Going to love training and learning the balance of structure & fun 🖤

👀 Stories for his progress.

13/05/2023

Belle & Chunk 🖤We've worked with Chunk before & we absolutely love the lil guy! He joined us to do a lil tune up and accompany his new sissy for the first part of her training. Miss. Belle has quickly stolen our hearts as well. Though these two may be little, they are indeed mighty capable of working just as hard! 🖤

Every dog benefits from some place time being a part of their daily routine... Take a look at these tips to address some common struggles when it comes to teaching it 🖤

08/05/2023

Last minute opening for this week! One week B&T only 🖤

Perfect for puppy 101, basic obedience, mastering the walk now that sunshine is here! Whatever it is we'd love to work with you and your dog! Reach out soon 🖤

27/04/2023

Say it with me 👏🏼 'My dog is reactive & we are working on it'. 👏🏼

We see you. You are NOT alone. Keep working at it & reach out for help.

Reactivity doesn't have to be something you just accept. It's something you can work at day by day with your dog to see progress.

Avoidance is not a lifestyle folks. You can live a beautifully involved life with your reactive dog. It just takes work 🖤

24/04/2023

Don't let the idea of perfection get in the way of really good.

Quick story...In my last semester in high school, I missed the honor roll by a mere few points. This was so upsetting for me at the time because I had struggled academically all throughout high school, and had really been pushing myself that last year. I actually called my mom crying from the bathroom. Years later now, I still remember what she said to me:

Don't let not making the honor roll take away from the fact that you got mostly A's, passed your hardest subject, and stayed consistent all year.

What she said was 100% the truth!

Sometimes when you've been working really hard at something you start to fixate on that end goal you've set in your mind. It's great to have goals/intentions for what you are working at, but don't forget to take a step back every now and again. This goes for dog training and your personal lives!

Ask yourself: Are you letting the idea of getting to that end goal overshadow how good you're doing, and all the progress you've made so far?

What's something you and your dog have been really good at lately?

20/04/2023

🐶❓Confused dogs need clarity!

You can repeat instructions or commands when it comes to genuine confusion. It's also very important that we are never just saying "No". Odds are your dog is looking at you after that. Follow up with instructions on what you DO want them to do.

Don't forget the value of your body! Standing in one spot and yelling out commands doesn't benefit your dog. Sometimes simply taking one or two steps can help your dog connect the dots on what you are asking for/where to go. This is guiding them with your body and energy.

Use the leash! Just don't forget you can always put this on without a walk taking place, and that it's a great communication tool.

Break things down that might be too big to understand or overwhelming. Evaluate how you can turn it into several smaller steps that your dog can successfully complete.

feat Riptide 🖤

15/04/2023

Big welcome to a familiar face, Rooh!

Rooh and his parents worked with us 2 years ago with one on one sessions. They have done an amazing job with him!

Rooh is here for a one week board and train to incorporate Ecollar work into his training, freshen up on his obedience, and to get him and his owners on the right path for his mindset as he can be an anxious guy in unfamiliar situations. 🖤

We love being able to work with Rooh again, he’s such a smart boy 🐶

14/04/2023

Riptide, also known as Rip like our favorite Yellowstone cowboy 🤠

What he's here to work on:
-Pulling
-Jumping onto people
-Digging in the yard

He's a big strong fella so we definitely can see why his owners reached out for help. We are happy to be the ones to offer it!

He's here for two weeks so we'll also be getting this guy out on outings. We love taking the dogs out and making sure that all the training is solid out in the real world as well!

Can't wait to update y'all on his journey 🖤

13/04/2023

A big part of training is looking at all those little everyday interactions with your dog & asking yourself how you can tweak it. Where can you add in structure? How can we create a more engaging interaction?

All those little things add up!

01/04/2023

Welcome to Ace!

Ace is with us for a one week board and train to work on his obedience, manners, and most importantly the walk! He is a young buck, high energy, and a biggggg puller! We 🖤 when we have Golden’s in and can’t wait to see the progress he’ll make during his stay☀️ Keep an eye out on our IG stories to stay updated!

Who here is a victim of the comparison game? ✋🏼

I've compared myself as an owner to other owners on the internet feeling like I wasn't doing enough.
I've compared myself as a trainer to other trainers feeling like an imposter.
I've compared my dog to other dogs and what they could do that mine couldnt.

✨THIS THOUGHT PROCESS IS NOT HEALTHY OR OKAY. ✨

First of all, most of what you see on social media is fake. There I said it. Yeah, the dog in that video can probably actually do those things you are seeing... but what you're not seeing is all the times before that clip that they were struggling. You are just seeing an END PRODUCT. So...you can see how comparing the beginning of your dog's journey to that dogs end product is not productive or helpful in any way, right? Right.👍🏼

Your journey + your dog's journey is your own. No two are going to look the same, but that doesn't mean yours is any less important or meaningful.

23/02/2023

Dear fellow humans! Listen to owners when they say no. Yes we know your dog is nice, but still. (That also goes for those of you who are "dog whispers" 👀)

Owners- we understand it can be hard to set that boundary BUT your only responsibility is to your dog, their safety & security... Not Joe schmo you are passing on the street.
Advocate for them pups!

07/02/2023

Ah, puppies 🥰 who doesn't love em? It can be so exciting to have a new little furrball join the family... That being said this is an important & impressionable time in their life. Definitely keep these concepts in mind BUT have fun and enjoy puppyhood too 🖤

👏 Get 👏 them 👏 started 👏 young 👏 . Do not overlook the importance of grooming. This isn’t exclusive to bathing- this means getting them use to having their ears and paws touched, touching a trimmer to their nails(even if you don’t actually trim them), running a buzzer for the sound near them, brushing, bathing, holding still, moving around their lips to look at teeth, etc. . This may not always be pretty the first several times you do it and that’s OK and perfectly normal! You don’t have to do everything at once. Pick a few things and start there. Add on as you go! If you practice every day or even every other day for at least 10 minutes, it will make a big impact on your puppy as they grow and mature. . Why is this important? Getting them desensitized to these things will make at home grooming, vet visits, grooming at salons, and general handling of your puppy easier and less frightening. Make it normal for them by practicing. Don’t wait until these things need to be done for them to experience it for their first time. That’s how bad experiences can happen and fears can form. Find their favorite treats, use a leash and collar, get comfortable, and get to practicing! . . . #dogtraining #njdogtraining #njdogs #dogsofinstagram #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #puppygram #doggrooming #njdoggrooming #dogdesensitization #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining

It's our birthday!🎈 We have so many things to be thankful for these last two years. It has not been an easy road, especially this past year, but we are forever grateful for the love and support from you all. We truly see TTH as our baby & consider every dog we have the honor of working with an extension of our pack 🖤 Thank you 1000xs over for trusting and believing in us! . Love, Rach & Kori

A lil behind the scenes information- We just pulled up to the location for Tay's FIRST outing. He was extra puppy wiggly butt excited! Keep reading for how we handled that... . Even though our goal was to get in that store and work around distractions for the day, what Tay was communicating was that it was already ALOT for him just in the car in the parking lot. . Had we just ignored what he was communicating and powered on into the store it more than likely would have gone something like this: 🐕‼️🚨🌪️🗣️🤦🏽‍♀️ . What we did instead was start addressing his mindset right there (with plenty of distractions mind you). This does a few different things for the dog: 1. Gets them to slow down and pay attention to their mindset . 2. Had them check their energy! By staying there and working through it you are communicating we don't advance to the next step until you are more settled. They will start to check their energy a lot quicker the more you practice this. . 3. Gets their focus back to you rather than every other little thing. This is why I rewarded with a verbal 'yes' & food everytime I was offered eye contact! . Taking the ten minutes to work through this set us up for a really good first outing once we did get in the store! THIS is the "little stuff" that is more like the big stuff

Board & Trains are progressing beautifully really love these three. All working hard in their own ways 🖤 . . . . #dogtraining #njdogs #njdogtraining #balanceddogtraining #boardandtrain #njdogmoms #obediencetraining #mindsetoverobedience #njsmallbusiness

Take a dog like Max who is existing in our modern world- he's anxious, & unsure. Think of our modern world like a game, this is a game Max has zero idea how to play, and definitely not how to win. Therefore not very fun or enjoyable. . But when we take the time to explain the game, show that it can be fun & easy, go over the rules and expectations and finally how you can be victorious. Well then you get a player fully in the game, who becomes more confident each time they play! . In two sessions Max has come a very long way! He has some rules and expectations that give him some structure & consistency in his day to day. His owners are fantastic teammates as well. We are thrilled. . . . . #dogtrainingsessions #dogtraining #njdogmom #njdogs #njdogtraining #dogtrainingtips #barkingdogs #anxiousdog #balanceddogtraining #dogtrainingadvice
