I mean, it got their attention. 🤷‍♀️🤣

So now I’m wondering; how do you recall your dog? Do you whistle? Call? Use an e collar?

WMM programs update 🐾✨

We’ve been BUSY over here lately and honestly… the dogs have been putting in WORK 👏🏻😮‍💨

Kane is currently on lesson 4 and this dog has been absolutely crushing his program. We’ve gone from learning structure and engagement to layering in real-life skills like bike work,, leash drills, muzzle conditioning for nail trim prep, recall, placement with distractions, and learning how to actually shut his brain off for five seconds 😅

His confidence is growing SO much and watching him start to make better choices without spiralling has been awesome. We are ridiculously proud of this guy.

Luna is on lesson 3 and is doing AMAZING. We switched her over to a prong collar for clearer communication and it’s been a game changer for her leash work. We’ve been focusing heavily on placement, recall, neutrality around dogs, and creating a solid off switch around the kids and distractions instead of constantly living in chaos mode 👏🏻
E-collar training is now in full swing and this week we head to the river to put all that recall work to the test in the great outdoors 🌊🐾

Revy officially finished her 6 week program and WOW did this girl come a long way. We worked heavily on leash skills, boundaries, muzzle conditioning, exposure, recall, and neutrality around other dogs. A huge part of her program was teaching her to stop reacting to every little thing in the environment and start choosing her handler instead. Less overthinking, more clarity. Her confidence has grown SO much and we absolutely adore this girl 💗

Daisy & Kevin are both thriving in their program and continue to get better and better every session. We’ve been working on leash manners, boundaries with other dogs, focus work, recall, and exposure while helping them learn that excitement doesn’t need to equal chaos.
Their program is currently paused while mom recovers from knee surgery, but we’ll definitely be seeing these two cuties again soon.

Carl & Lana continue to work through their shared program and these two keep us laughing 💗
We’ve been focusing on leash work, household structure, boundaries, separate training sessions, and building confidence away from each other because Lana leans on Carl WAY too much right now. They’re sweet dogs, just a little too used to freelancing life decisions without guidance.

Bo Bo officially started his program today and we are already obsessed with him. We’re starting right at the foundation with crate/place training, household boundaries, slowing his brain down, and teaching him to stop making his own rules 24/7 😝

Brisket also started his reset program today and had some HUGE wins already 👏🏻 We introduced a new leash system, prong conditioning, walking properly alongside a wheelchair, and exposure around bikes, scooters, kids and passing dogs without going into full reaction mode. Big first day for this dude and he handled it so well.

Our Stay & Play dogs have also been living their BEST lives lately with river trips, lake hangs, structured adventures and pack outings now that the weather is finally cooperating ☀️🐾 We seriously have the best crew.

Our Scent Detection classes and Manners in Motion classes have officially wrapped up for this round and we just want to say THANK YOU. Watching your dogs progress, seeing handlers gain confidence, and watching these dogs learn how to exist calmly around distractions is honestly the best part of what we do 💗
Keep an eye out for level 2 in both classes 💗

Pack walks are officially making a comeback after the long weekend and we are SO excited to get back out with you guys! Structured walks, real world training, good dogs, good people… you know the vibe. 🙌🏻

We also have a super exciting seminar coming up in June focused on K9 conditioning and nutrition with Paige from VM Therapies and Lindsay from Wag's Holistic Pet Nutrition — and honestly, we can’t wait for this one. 💪🏻🐶

Huge shoutout to Kayla Marie and Paige Visser for helping with classes and holding down the fort while I was sick. Couldn’t do it without you guys 🫶🏻

It’s been a crazy few weeks over here… but we are SO grateful for every single dog and owner trusting us with their journey!!

Keep an eye out on our page for more updates 💗

Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway and shared your training wins with us! 💗🐾

We absolutely love seeing you guys put the work in with your dogs and watching that progress come together. Whether it’s better leash walks, confidence building, recall wins, or just surviving puppy chaos a little easier… every small step matters 👏🏻

Keep showing up, stay consistent, and keep advocating for your dogs. The hard work always pays off.

Welcome Carl & Lana to their training era 🐾🔥

We kicked things off last week by stripping it back and building a REAL foundation—because when you’ve got a multi dog household, structure isn’t optional… it’s everything 👏🏻

Here’s what we’re cleaning up 👇🏻

Carl:
• Neutral leash walks (no more “main character energy” around every dog)
• No off-leash chaos chasing deer, rabbits, or anything that moves
• Choosing mom over the environment (yes, even with distractions 👀)

Lana:
• Start thinking for herself instead of copying Carl’s questionable decisions
• No more launching herself at people, counters, or gates
• Helping mom step into that leadership role with confidence

What we started with:
Leash work — changing direction + engagement > dragging your human around
Recall games — making coming back the best option, not the last one
Placement — boundaries, off-switch, and learning to just exist without being ON 24/7

This phase? It’s all about clarity, consistency, and accountability.
For the dogs AND their human 👏🏻

They’re sweet dogs with big hearts… they’ve just been freelancing a little too hard without clear direction. Give them a few weeks of consistency and clarity, and you’ll start seeing those good decisions roll in 💗🐾
