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!

Congratulations to my boy Hura aka Huracan the from for graduating from the program.
This big boy is an absolute sweetheart with people but when he would see other dogs, he would loose his mind. Barking, lunging, pulling on the leash and it would take him a while to calm down.
During his stay with us he was always around other dogs that he did not know, and once we built a foundation with him, we took him out in public places to get used and desensitized to seeing other dogs as well. We utilized the basic obedience training to redirect him. Rather than correcting the reactivity, we are holding him accountable for a behavior that we have previously taught him and work him through the situation by telling him what to do instead.
He did great and now his owner can walk him on and off leash, he ignores other dogs and he will be ready for his big trip to his new home in Europe!
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my boy Rex the from for graduating from the program.
This 110lbs boy had already been through multiple trainers and different homes with no one being able to get it right and understanding what he needed.
He still pulled on the leash, showed signs of resource guarding, did not tolerate anything moving over his head, I.e. a leash, and could be very nervous and anxious at times.
A big dog that can manipulate things just with his weight is a force to be reckoned with. Which is why the training for the owner is equally important as the training for the dog!
His new now has a solid foundation as well as the tools required to reinforce and continue all the training we did with Rex.
He now can walk on and off leash, learned how to relax in and outside the home and is over all more confident.
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my girl Snoopy the from for graduating from the program.
This little girl would pull on the leash, did not come when called and showed a lot of reactivity with other dogs.
During our program, we helped her build confidence in herself and work on her impulse control. Her owners are now able to walk her on and off leash, take her to public places without her overreacting.
Good job girl!

Congratulations to my boy Scout the from for graduating from the program!
This 6month old puppy was a ton of fun to work with.
He is super smart and full of energy! Energy that had to be channeled and structured. In order for our dogs to be a respectable part of society our responsibility is it to teach them how! Now with a full tool box of commands and instructions his owners are set up to make him the best dog he can be!
I’m looking forward to see him grow!
Good job!

Congratulations to my boy Cooper the from for graduating from the program.
This older gentleman is already 7 and had quite a few bad habits.
He would pull on the leash, had a hard time relaxing and started showing signs of aggression towards other dogs, to name a few.
During his stay we worked him with, around and socialized him with other dogs. We taught him how to relax and improved his impulse control and confidence.
Now his owners not only have a dog that they can walk on and off leash, that is not over reacting anymore but they also have tools and a foundation that they can build on.
Anxiety can not be turned off or corrected, it’s a process that takes patience and time and helping our dogs to work through it!
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my girl Zigi the from for graduating from the program!
This cute girl used to lunge at people and other dogs, she would pull on the leash and her being literally hard of hearing didn’t help!
She was very nervous and anxious and had a hard time to relax.
Through the our training we helped her build confidence, work on her impulse control and gave her owner tools to help reinforce the behaviors and overcoming her handicap of the bad hearing.
They are now able to walk on and off leash, go out in public stress free and enjoy each others company!
Good job girl!

Congratulations to my girl Trinity the from for graduating from the program.
Trinity is a nervous and anxious dog that was very dog reactive due to her lack of confidence. Giving your dog too much freedom ads a lot of responsibility and therefore stress to them.
We taught her obedience commands to use as coping mechanism in stressful situations to help her build confidence in herself and her handlers.
They can walk her on and off leash now, she can stay calm in and outside the house, and even in public places.
Good job girl!

Congratulations to my boy Rex the from for graduating from the program.
This handsome boy used to pull on the leash, jump on people and had a hard time to sit still. Taking him out on a walk was a chore and not enjoyable!
He did great in the training and now everyone can walk him, on and off leash, he knows how to relax inside and outside the home even with all the kids moving around.
Great job buddy!

Congratulations to my boy Hutch the from for graduating from the program.
This young man is full of puppy energy, he would pull on the leash, jump all over his little owner and chew on everything.
We taught him manners and now even the smallest member of the family can walk him on and off leash, he knows when it is time to play and when to relax. He understands how to behave in high distractions and how to appropriately play with other dogs and his owners.
Good job buddy!

Congratulations to my boy Benjamin the for graduating from the program.
This lowrider is already and older gentleman with his 8 years.
He is a sweet and smart boy that had selective hearing and got more stubborn and grumpy in his old age.
We taught him how to be a distinguished older gentleman, with manners!
Now his owners has better control over him and can enjoy his walks on and off leash and his time with him in general.
Good job sir!

Congratulations to my boy Karti the from for graduating from the program.
Karti is already 5 and had practiced his reactivity to other dogs, bikes, scooters and other moving objects and animals successfully over time.
We helped him to break that cycle by adding structure, rules and boundaries. Taking away the responsibility and stress to handle situations, giving him guidance and replacing the previous reaction with behaviors that we want and are able to reinforce. He’s more relaxed and his owners now have control over him on and off leash. They also have the tools and knowledge to reinforce what he’s supposed to do.
Good job buddy!
