Interns Courtney and Luisa are working on their leash skills! We are so impressed with the two of them.

We are often asked about walking dogs off leash. Where we live, it is legally required to have a leash on your dog if you are off your property. But that doesn't mean you should have to rely on just your leash. If you practice the skills we teach you, then yes, you should absolutely be able to control your dog without needing the leash. (It is, however, still required in our county.) Our goal is for all of our clients to be able to walk their dogs without the need for the leash!

Marco is getting ready to go home tomorrow, so today she got a spa day. It was a little cold to use our outdoor bathing station, so we took her to @petsupermarket and used their self-serve bathing area. Marco was a pro at bath time.

We LOVE the staff at our local @petsupermarket . They are always willing to work with us and the dogs we have for training. Noodle is nervous of new people. She has a firm belief in stranger danger. The staff got on her level and never imposed themselves on her. They let her approach and retreat on her terms. They never reached to pet her and let her approach to sniff them. They threw treats to her and let her choose how the interaction went. This visit was stressful for her but also beneficial. She recovered very well and walked away from them with some confidence (and not in a panicked pull to get away)

Sweet Noodle has done so well coming out of her shell this past week. One of the things we noticed about her (and used to our advantage) is when she is in work mode. She forgets to be afraid. Here she is working for the first time with Luisa. Luisa is also working on her luring into position. Today was a day of firsts for them both! Nice work.

Fergus is showing he is very concerned with the power tools being used in the backyard. They were out of eyesight but not out of hearing. Here, he held his sit stay. Notice we didn't go very far from him. He showed lots of concern, but we were right there keeping him safe and showing him he didn't have to go through it alone. After a few seconds, he is released from his stay and was able to shake it off and reset himself.

Let's meet the brave Hazel. Hazel has not left her home since she arrived as a puppy except to go the vet for her puppy vaccines. Then she came to us! She is super confident with her obedience at Melissa's house and in her yard. In new places, you can see how nervous she is. This was a completely different flooring and texture. We did not focus on her heeling. Jacquye is walking backward, coaxing her to walk and explore the new smells. After a few minutes, she would happily take treats when she stopped moving. We are very proud of her progress. This is not going to change overnight, but we can see her self-confidence growing.
