Congratulations to my girl Lola the from for graduating from the program!
This girl was a tone of fun to work with! Happy, excited and motivated! My kinda gal!
She needed to learn how to contain her energy though so that her owners can enjoy her to the fullest. She can now be handled by everyone in the house without pulling and dragging them around, jumping up on them or getting distracted outside.
Good work girl! I am excited to see her grow up!

Congratulations to my girl Maple the from for graduating from the program!
This furry ball of energy was found by her awesome owners at an abandoned property in the Redlands and needed to learn how to fall in with the rest of the pack at home.
She was a lot of fun to work with as her owners already have an ORA alumni at home and built a strong foundation that we fine tuned for them.
She now knows when to turn it on and off and how to appropriately play with her older brother Huxley.
Good job little girl!

Congratulations to my boy Murray the mix from for graduating from the program.
This otherwise sweet boy showed a lot of reactivity with other dogs, kids and new people.
He didn’t like to be left alone and would bark and whine. He jumped on people and would resource guard space and objects.
Without changing his loving personality with the family we helped him understand his position in the hierarchy of the house, by giving him structure, rules and boundaries that his owners can now reinforce. This way they can do happier life together.
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to the boys Kylo the and Loki the for graduating from the program.
Both boys came with their individual issues.
Kylo, after a bad experience at the dog park, was very reactive with other dogs and people. He was impossible to take outside in public or walk him in the neighborhood.
Loki was very nervous and anxious and needed to build confidence, but when he wanted something he would use his strength to get it.
Both needed to learn structure, rules and boundaries. This helped them be calmer around each other and with their handlers who can now walk them both on and off leash and tell them to relax when needed.
Good job boys!

Congratulations to my girl Daisy the from for graduating from the program.

Good job girl!

This sweet boy is a typical with endless energy and a big heart. He loves to play and run but needed to learn how to be focused and pay attention.

Good job boy!

Congratulations to my girl Bella the mix from for graduating from the program.
This big girl is a going to be even bigger! She gave her owners a hard time, pulling on the leash, resource guarding and starting fights with the older dog in the house.
We taught her structure rules and boundaries, showed her how to relax in every environment and socialized her with other dogs to teach her how to play.
Now she can walk on and off leash, stay calm when the baby is running around the house.
Good job girl!

Congratulations to Charlie the from for graduating from the program!
This boy had the biggest transformation from this round. He would bark at any moving vehicle, cars, bikes, strollers, motorcycles. He chewed his way through the doors of the house. He would jump on everyone and had no boundaries around the baby in the house.
Now his owners are able to walk him on and off leash, he learned how to stay calm and relaxed in his crate or on his place cot even when the baby is running around the house. They can even walk him while pushing the stroller!
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my boy Regis the from for graduating from the program!
Regis is a sweet boy that was fun to work with. He needed the basics, stop pulling on the leash, come when called, not to jump but also how to be more confident and better around other dogs!
During his stay we worked on all of that and helped him be more confident, make some dog friends and become overall more obedient. His owners can now handle him on and off leash, he will come when called and knows how to be more relaxed in high distraction environments.
Good job buddy!

Savannah used to bark and jump at people, pull on the leash and would be very nervous in general.

Great job girl!

Congratulations to my big boy Wesson the from for graduating from the program!
This sweet big boy finally found his but needed to learn his size around the other dog and cat in the house. He would pull on the leash and jump on people.

Good job buddy!

Congratulations to Roy the from for graduating from the program.
Roy is the perfect example that even older dogs can learn new tricks. He would pull on the leash, jump on people and not focus on his owners on walks.
He now is able to be calm and relaxed inside and outside the house with all sorts of distractions and his owners can walk him on and off leash with him paying attention to them.
Good job boy!

Congratulations to my girl Luna the from for graduating from the program.
Luna showed a lot of reactivity towards other dogs, people, noises and was overall a nervous dog.
By giving her structure, rules and boundaries we helped her build confidence in herself and her handlers. Setting up in high distraction environments helped to desensitize her and make her more comfortable.
She now is able to walk on and off leash and will ignore previous triggers.
Good job girl!
