Moose enjoys the recall games. No leash pressure, lots of reinforcement. Get your dog to love to come!

Recall games in class this eve!! Awesome job Gunner!

Awesome recall work! Kai plus such a pleasure to watch. He has a guardian that has worked so hard to make sure he is a good boy!

Rosie was loving the recall exercise! She is such a sweet gal and has the best family that participates together.

Working with board and train dog, Bella, on her leash skills.

We did an @embarkvet with Miss Maple. What breeds do you thinkshr

The power of enrichment! This little gal was not quite sure about me, but quickly got to relaxation by using her nose and brain to investigate some of my enrichment toys. Shebis an older gal that I was called to help out with her change in potty habits and some general anxiety. This is where understanding dogs and behavior come into play. She wouldn't be helped by corrections or by obedience. Instead we did detective work to understand the cause of her changes and set up a plan to change the environment and how her humans responded to certain behaviors. Such a great family that just loves this little gal. I was so thankful to assist them.

Fun rainy lesson with this handsome man. He has border collie energy x3. Worked on finding some mental exercises instead of all physical exercises to help him calm his brain a bit. Super great family that adopted him and are working so hard to help him be the best he can be!

Recall time with Indy.

Loose leash walking with Rosie pup today.

New lab clients. More adolescent pups! Super sweet mom that wants to do so right for them. Looking forward to working with them! #labs #teendogs #siblingpups #hawaiidogtrainer #dogtraining #dogmanners #gooddogs
