Group Class August 24th will be at the Orono Vet Bow Wow Palooza at 12pm. We will have a booth set up with all of our trainers and expect this will be the perfect place for proofing more advanced skills around high level distractions.
Please RSVP as usual.
Anyone need a Cato board?

Congratulations to Worf, Arlo and Tex for passing their advanced skills evaluations! These teams have put in a lot of hard work to develop their relationships with their dogs and we think it deserves recognition. 🎉
To avoid several weeks without group class (our trainers are not available this Saturday) we were wondering if any of our clients would be interested in a Friday group class this week. We're thinking 6pm
Hey all,
As some of you know, we’ll be hosting a booth at Pawpawlooza this Saturday at Furry Friends Pet Resort in Hampton.
Our question is, is anyone interested in attending a group class at this event? It would run at 12pm
Send us a message or comment if you’d like to RSVP.
With the recent hot and humid weather we’ve been having lately, we want to take a minute to share some helpful tips and tricks. Meeting your dog’s exercise needs can be tough this time of year!
⭐️ Make use of the water! Head to the water front, pick up a small kiddie pool or even grab the hose. Even if your dog isn’t a swimmer, getting your dog’s paws and chest wet can go a long way in helping them stay cool. If you’re heading to the lake, check your cities website for updates on Blue Green Algae.
⭐️ Walk your dogs in the early morning, or in the late evening. Avoid the middle of the day as this is when the sun is at its peak. Tip! If the pavement is too hot for you to hold your hand on, it’s too hot to walk your dogs on. Find some grass to exercise them on instead or wait for a different time.
⭐️ Keep an eye out for the beginning signs of heat stress. Panting is normal, but excessive panting and drooling is alarming. Watch out for a bright red tongue. It may also start curling at the end or hanging off to the side. Please note, signs that your dog is experiencing a heat stress emergency include: Vomiting, lethargic, disoriented, muscle tremors, and more.
⭐️ Help your dog acclimatize! Just like us, dogs can become more accustomed to warm weather over time. You can help your dog with this by slowly increasing the time you spend outdoors in warm weather, while always watching out for signs that your dogs has had enough. Many things will depend on this, such as your dogs age, size, and breed.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns with your dog and the hot weather, send us a message.
There will be no group class this week! Come out and see us at Pawpawlooza with Furry Friends Pet Resort instead!

Vee, Dylan and Worf having a blast in our BioPlay program. Worf has all the natural drives of a well bred Doberman; Prey Drive, Defensive Drive, and a little bit of Possession. Combined with his eagerness to please, he shows really great promise as a beginner protection sport dog.
Is it any wonder his owners have struggled with these drives while living the pet life? We don't think so. Not all dogs are built the same, and some need more than the companion/pet life alone can provide. These dog's often struggle with reactivity and "nuisance" behaviours. Giving them an outlet for the drives we've bred into them can go a LONG way towards a better relationship.
There is no group class this week. Train as you live!
Heeling, with some personal flare✨
You can't sit with us!
Say Hi to Rocky! This adorable, jet fueled little man is with us to work on his penchant for loudly announcing himself to everyone in the neighborhood on his walks. Asking for a little extra attention has gone a long way for him in just two lessons. This dog and owner team are rocking it!

Lets talk older dogs - This might be a tear jerker...
Remi is 12 now. He has weak kidneys, multiple lipomas, he's mostly deaf, going blind and Degenerative Myelopathy is creeping up his back end. Despite all of this, he still has all the will and drive he had at 3 years old. He wants to be involved, he wants to learn, he wants to bring back ducks and sit on Places at group class. He still loves work. It is so hard to see his body fail him while his mind is still so willing.
Our e-collar training is THE most essential tool I have in my arsenal to keep his quality of life as high as possible at this point in his life. He can't hear me but he can feel me. I can still take him anywhere and get his attention, even if he's 20+ feet away.
I can keep him involved and keep him safe because he understands the e-collar as communication and he understands how to ignore distractions. I can't imagine how limited his life would be now without this system.
There will be no group class this Saturday! Train as you live!
Sometimes even the trainers dogs get ditracted….👀

Nail trimming, am I right?! 😅

Hazel wants to make sure you don't forget to pick up some motivators for your training! Thanks to Ren's Pets for helping us train and socialize. It takes a village to raise a dog!
Building your dog's natural drives using play can go a long way towards creating solid reward systems for your training as well as satisfying their biological needs. Our Biologically Appropriate Play Program will help you identify and develop your dog's natural drives whether that's chasing, pulling, fetching, jumping, hunting, defending, or just being goofy AND show you how to give those drives an APPROPRIATE outlet.
Our Group Class last weekend took on the dog park! Well… the outside of it. It was a fun and relatively easy class with everyone working on attention through distraction, and applying it wherever they saw fit in the environment. Busy locations like this can be scary, especially if you have a reactive dog. But they are also really helpful when teaching your dog how to be an appropriate companion in all aspects of life. Whether it’s the lakefront, hiking trails, downtown, or even just your neighborhood subdivision, we’re here to help set you and your dog up for success.
We had an excellent group class today! A good handful of these dogs came to us struggling with reactivity and different forms of aggression, you’d never even know it. We want to take a minute to thank our wonderful clients for continuing to put in the work. Your hard work shows. Well done everyone!
Gunner is one of our trainers dogs. He’s come a long way from reactivity, dog, and handler aggression. Here he is putting some fetching skills to good use - post training clean up!
We have been so proud of everyone who’s been able to attend group class lately. It really is the best place to polish up your skills and work on distractions. Last Saturday we created an obstacle course, and we had everyone walk through it with plastic eggs on spoons. Despite plenty of toys and treats on the ground as distractions, all of our clients and their pups did fantastic!
Sara and Ukee have come a super long way in a short amount of time and we couldn’t be more proud of them! From being reactive to people, dogs, and cars, to being able to pay attention to command through different distractions. Can’t wait to see you guys in group class!
There will be no group class this Saturday. Happy Holiday’s from our pack to yours!
Last week's group class became an impromptu "Feisty Fido" session with some of the most intense dogs we've had the privilege of working with in a while. We started with some attention work and got to end with a Place To Place Race!
Angie and Piper during their 4th lesson. Piper gets waaaay too excited about visitors. Here you see Piper recalling from a highly exciting greeting (Jamie is hyping her up), to Angie. Piper also holds a Sit, ignoring Jamie, even while Angie herself is distracted talking to me. A happy dog, enjoying her training, no treats necessary!
Off-leash obedience around distractions at 5 months? You betcha! Birdie is a 5 month old Wild Child who's been with us for a few days learning self control and off leash skills around distractions. This lil lady really has it all, lots of drive, eager to please, confidence (aka sass) but she really needed the right communication strategy to bring it out (and save her families fingers). 4 days ago, her family said bye bye to their Baby Shark. In 6 days we think they'll be saying hello to the next Top Dog!
Congrats to Derrick and Baxter on learning a head up heel around distractions in your 3rd lesson! Derrick called us because Baxter has an intense amount of energy and can be a bit dog reactive, especially on a leash. This is quite the change from the rotator cuff threat he was on day one!
Wait for it…
