On Thursdays we conquer fears! Zelda absolutely crushed all of the obstacles we placed in her path ant allowed her people to guide her every step of the way! Keep up the great work, Deborah and Paul 👏🏻

Another day, another opportunity to turn things around! Hershey crushed his walk with friends at our last session. He has been doing beautifully at home and Mom has begun teaching his new sister how to walk like a lady. So great! Keep up the good work, Clouse family 👏🏻

New week, new skills! Rescue had his first successful walk with a friend at our last session and absolutely crushed it! Word on the street is he is doing great in his hood and everyone is enjoying walks WAY more 😉 Keep up the great work, Hernandez family 👏🏻

It's a beautiful day for neutrality! Bane had big challenges keeping his cool when he saw other dogs on walks. We practiced walking with others and let him know that he had other options besides blowing a gasket 😉 Better walks ahead for this guy! 🤘🏻 Keep up the great work, Debi 👏🏻

Your feel good Friday is brought to you by Emma 😍 When I met this girl she was afraid of absolutely everything and was super reactive around others.... But look at her now! Not gonna lie, I NEVER thought Emma would be cool with chickens, but I love it when I'm wrong! Watching her live her absolute best life, seeing her family foster other dogs, seeing her thrive around other animals and being fearless makes my heart explode. 😍 I am so very grateful for her humans sticking with her and helping her to shine so bright. Every pup should be so lucky! Enjoy the farm life, Emma Dilemma 😍😍 Bunn family, you absolutely crushed this dog parent thing 😉

Just over here creating athletes 😍 Truffles crushed our confidence course and he absolutely loves doing hard things! We had a blast watching this little potato conquer his fears! Keep up the great work Emily and Tyler 👏🏻

Feel good Friday, brought to you by Ace and his tiniest handler 😍 Lack of confidence is the reason behind most of Ace's naughty tendencies, including his anxiety when people swam. His family introduced an awesome confidence building activity this Summer and he freaking crushed it! So proud of this dude! Keep up the great work, Grabek family 👏🏻

Another day, another opportunity to conquer fears! Jessie and her sister, Harlie came by to crush the confidence obstacle course and nailed it! It has been so awesome to watch this threesome move their relationship into a healthy place! Keep up the great work, Courtney 👏🏻

Penny learned how to keep her cool around other dogs on leash at our last session! So excited for this family to have a dog that they can bring with them on all their adventures and not have to worry about her blowing a gasket 😉 Keep up the great work, Graves family 👏🏻

New week, new walk! Vinny, Willie and Frankie have a completely new walk without pulling, slamming on the brakes in protest, marking every single thing or blowing a gasket at other dogs. Word on the street is "walks are a dream" with this crew! Yay Adriana and Andrew!! Keep up the great work! 👏🏻

Tuesdays are for walking like a lady! Nellie crushed her new walk and was able to walk with other dogs without blowing a gasket! I am so proud of this little pistol! Keep up the great work, Archer family 👏🏻

Feel good Friday, brought to you by Tess and her tiniest dancers. 🥰🥰 Tess used to have to be put away when guests were over and wasn't necessarily 100% trusted around any little ones. She liked to bark, manage and "herd" all of the visitors, especially kiddos. Fast forward to this place pro!! 😍 All of this energy, excitement and fun and Tess just gets to hang out and watch the show. Place allows for her to "punch out" from her security detail when guests are over and be included in the fun! I just adore this family and am so grateful for their hard work to make Tess a true member of the family! ❤️ Keep up the great work, Juist crew!

Wednesdays are for walks! Kodi's pulling and reactivity on leash was too unsafe for her to be walked. In order for her to be fulfilled both mentally and physically everyday, we gave Dad some tools to be able to walk her safely. We then practiced walking without losing our minds and this team absolutely crushed it! So proud of them! Keep up the great work, Ernesto 👏🏻

From bananas, to an engaged little lady 😍 Kali got a whole new walk at our last session and she did outstanding! 👏🏻👏🏻 Keep up the great work, Silva crew!

At our last session, Truffles began to learn all of his basic obedience skills and manners at open doors. Come, sit and down, loads of engagement with his people and working his impulse control...this dude crushed it! Also, he is the fastest potato and has not made any bad choices with his mouth so far! 😂 Keep up the great work, Emily and Tyler 👏🏻

Camo...learned how to walk with others at our last session. We don't need every dog to be the Mayor, we just need them to be neutral 😉 Keep up the great work, Tyler 👏🏻

A little ASMR from Madison on this hot Thursday 👂🏼

New walk, who dis?! At our last session, we switched up our tools for Miss Cooper to a transitional leash. Both she and her sister, Keely worked hard on learning to calm themselves when spotting other dogs on walks. Their parents learned all about the cues the girls have before they blow a gasket 😉 Giving this family a new walk, creates a whole new balance for all the ends of the leashes. The girls continue to practice their new skills at home and Cooper has a successful pack walk under her belt already! (I'm just THAT behind on posting 🤦🏼‍♀️). Keep up the great work, Myers crew 👏🏻

Bailey and Mezzy faced their nerves and anxiety head on at our last session and worked hard on finding their brave. We created obstacles for their family to guide them through and both of the girls nailed it! Working on taking nervous, anxious or impulsive dogs out of their comfort zones is the only way to quiet the panic in the mind. Not only does it help their confidence soar and increase the bond with their people, its so dang fun! Keep up the great work, Case family👏🏻
