Congratulations to my boy Taz the from for graduating from the program.
This goofy puppy had a lot of energy and needed to learn some manners.
He would pull on the leash, jump and playfully chew on them.
Now he understands his position in the hierarchy of the house. His own can walk him one and half each and he knows when it’s time to relax or play.
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my girl Scout the from for graduating from the program.
This older lady had some pretty severe dog reactivity! She was returned to the shelter multiple times until her new owner found her and took her in.
Once she understood that she didn’t have to be in charge, she started to relax, and is now able to be on and off leash. With the foundation we build and the consistency of her handler she can now live a happier more relaxed life.
Good job girl!

Congratulations to my boy Loki the from for graduating from the program.
This good looking boy, was extremely fearful of thunderstorms and even just heavy rain would set him off. The vets gave him trazodone and only a solid was able to contain him.
We worked on all the obedience to help him work through the anxiety. Everything from staying on “place” to running on the treadmill during those situations helped him to be over all a more calm and relaxed dog.
He now is more focused and relaxed, walks on and off leash and feels safe in his kennel during the storms.
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my boy Bruno the from for graduating from the program!
Bruno was a challenging dog to train as he wasn’t really motivated by food, toys nor affection. But with a lot of patience and consistency we were able to get him to be calm and relaxed in and outside the house, walk on and off leash with his owners and even walk nicely next to the stroller.
Good job big guy!

Congratulations to my girl Iris the from for graduating from the program.
Iris, was generally very nervous and anxious and had very severe separation anxiety. She is a sweetheart and super smart. Like all our anxious and nervous dogs she was craving structure, rules and boundaries to take away responsibilities and stress from her.
She now is comfortable in her crate, walks on and off leash and learned how to relax!
Good job girl!

Congratulations to my boy Macke the from for graduating from the program.
This boy spent two year at the shelter and was returned twice after being adopted, until he finally found his home with his awesome new owner.
We helped him work through his separation anxiety, taught him to walk nicely on the leash, stay calm and relaxed inside and outside the house, not to jump on people and to be calm in the car.
Good job my boy!

Congratulations to my boy Batman the from for graduating from the program!
This little boy was a typical excited puppy. He would pull on the leash, chew on things, bark, dig in the yard and wasn’t fully housebroken yet.
We taught him all the necessary manners every puppy needs. Including potty training, walking on and off the leash nicely,impulse control, and focus.
His owners now have a solid foundation and the tools and knowledge to continue and maintain the training that we have done to fully enjoy their new puppy!
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my girl Mila the from for graduating from the program.
This cute little girl still needed to be fully house broken, would jump on people, bark and even bite when people would get to close.
We worked with her on impulse control and confidence, crate training and got her to an off leash level. Not just with us but also her owners that now have the tools and instructions to continue and maintain the training we did.
Good job little girl!

Congratulations to my boy Cash the from for graduating from the program.
This good looking young boy is very calm for a 6 month old puppy. He came to learn all the basics and more.
His owners are now able to walk him on and off leash, take him into public places. He also knows how to be calm and relaxed around high distractions like cats and toddlers in a real life environment.

Congratulations to my boy Raffi the from for graduating from the program.
This little wild boy needed to learn manners and how to relax. He was also very reactive with other dogs and had a tendency to redirect his energy at anyone close to him, even his handlers.
During our board and train we weee able to work him with and around other dogs. Set him up in high distraction environments and with our obedience training we were able to desensitize him and redirect him when needed.
He now knows how to relax and his handlers are able to walk him on and off leash and have more control over him.
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my girl Poppy the from fro graduating from the program.
This cute little girl had such bad separation anxiety and would bark so much that her owner received eviction threats from her building!
We worked with her on all the basic obedience, taught her structure, rules and boundaries and especially focused on the crate training. Teaching her that the crate is a safe space, in which she eats sleeps and has her toys and treats, helped her understand that she will be ok in it even when left alone.
Good job little girl!

Congratulations to my boy Rocky the from for graduating from the program.
This young boy needed help with his reactivity towards, people, dogs, and doorbells. He would pull in the leash and couldn’t be trusted off leash.
His owners can now walk him on and off leash, he learned how to stay calm and relaxed in different environments and situations. We even added the stroller to make sure he knows how to properly behave around it.
Good job big boy!
