This guy is 3 days into his program and already showing a much calmer mindset. We passed people, dogs, lawn crews, and noisy gates, and he was able to hold his focus pretty well! Go Bug!!
Cosy’s morning started off with a nice, long walk around campus followed by some chill time on place. Then we tested her tired brain with a little place, down, and recall practice. She is now taking a well deserved nap so we can practice more later.
Good morning with Cosy!!! Heeling, place, down, and recall wore her out…so she is taking a much deserved nap while she reflects on our lessons 😊
Testing out the peanut butter spoon method to increase Cosy’s engagement on walks. Sometimes you have to get creative 🥜

What better way to play on a hot day! Emmie and Biscuit LOVE the hose. Fred.....not so much.
Fred says goooooooob morning!!!! Getting a little indoor exercise since it’s rainy out. He’s a pro ❤️
We went to the park yesterday to work on recall and get some good exposure! Rachel took Luna and Biscuit to work in the baseball field while Sophie worked with Cosy to get out some nerves. We all had a great time and did a great job!
Luna and Rachel took advantage of the cooler temps this morning and went on an extra long walk
It’s never all work and no fun at Happy Tails! Cosy and Rachel shared some cuddles after doing some muzzle work today. It’s all about balance!!
Luna is starting to have fun with her confidence building exercises! Make sure you are doing a lot to build your puppy's confidence while they are young! You will be thankful for it in the future.
We said so long to Oswald today!! He has such a great personality and will be missed!
Found this gem I filmed last week with Luna practicing staying on place while her buddy Frank practices more active commands. She was a cool customer.
Down stays and door manners!!
When your dog knows the commands, and you are able to redirect while chilling on the couch….it’s a great feeling!! Frank did great this week ❤️
Had fun with baby Luna (aka Loons, Looney, Looney Tune, Fluff Nugget, Bat Dog....) at Crosstown today! We worked on sit, down, heel and getting some positive exposure to new things! She is such a young puppy and the world is new to her. It's vital at this age that she gets exposure to tons of new things! She did great!
Some phases of having your dog practice settling on place. We love calm pups ❤️
A little peak at some of the things the dogs worked on today!
Oswald: Practicing place while adding in more and more distractions!
Harper: Getting a walk in on the tredmill since it's so hot outside!
Luna: Working on leash walking and following her handler!
Frank: Building confidence and positive associations with his commands!
Olive: Not in video but she is practicing a crucial skill...... napping.
Luna’s first lessons
Luna is a little nervous, so we started working with her on the floor yesterday. Lots of treatos while we show her what it is that we want from her. Building a relationship is the first step to training!
Morning walk practice with Moo, Milo and Bagel!
Young puppies are fully capable! Don't wait until your dog has issues to begin training! Check out Milo working on place, and his release cue with Rachel!
Took Bagel to the park earlier this week to work on recall and down stays!! She did great and got some car window breeze time on the way home!
