Saturday Puppy Manners pups are rocking Hot Zone exercise.
This is the zone they are learning to “habitat” instead of barking at the front door/attention from us in the living room/begging for food in the kitchen🐶

Ready for another brand-new set of Puppy Manners this Saturday morning? 🐶🥳💖

These little ones are surely pumped up and ready to go! 😆🐾

As usual, we don’t let the puppies jump straight into play from the beginning. First, we take our time to assess who’s who, who needs what, and who will be the right match for whom. 💕🐶

This Saturday, at our second session, we’ll start carefully matching playmates while learning more about puppies’ body signals, communication, and language 😎🐾

And what’s the most important thing when raising a puppy?

✨ How happy they are
✨ How safe they feel
✨ How comfortable and confident they are

It’s not all about sit, stay, come 😉
Those are skills—but building trust, confidence, and a beautiful relationship is so much more.

This is the beautiful journey we get to start together with our fur friends. 💕💕🐶

I just love, love, LOVE and adore this family graduation picture with Ollie! 💖🥹💖

Ollie first came to us last year for Puppy Manners when he was just over 3 months old. 🐶 At that time, he was quite shy and uncomfortable around new people and some dogs.

By the time he leveled up to Teen Manners, he had already gained so much confidence—especially with his recall—and his family was so happy with his progress. 💖

Then, after taking a few months’ break before joining Advanced Manners, his family realized something very important: the tools they had learned with us needed to become part of their everyday communication with Ollie.

That’s when their commitment really kicked in—and we started seeing such a dramatic change, especially in the relationship between Ollie and his dad! 🥹💖

After completing Advanced Manners, Ollie moved on to Recall Excellence, where the challenge became even bigger. When he was having the BEST time playing with his favorite people and dog friends… coming back to Daddy wasn’t always his first choice! 😂🐶

But voilà!! ✨

After just 3 weeks of our intensive Recall Excellence course, Ollie’s speedy recall is now TOP NOTCH! 🎉🐶👏

What a journey—from that shy little 3-month-old puppy to this confident boy with such a beautiful connection with his family. 💖

We already miss Ollie and his precious smile, but looking at the happy, smiling faces of his entire family in this graduation picture warms my heart so deeply. 🥹🥹💖

Congratulations, Ollie & family!! 🎓🐶🎉
You ALL earned this beautiful graduation moment together. 💖

Some moments are too precious for words…🥹💖

This is my mom, who recently immigrated to Canada from Japan. 🇯🇵🍁

You may be surprised to know that Chillie, who was adopted by my friend a few years ago, has never been the type of puppy to walk up to a new person and shower them with affection so quickly.

So what was the secret?

First, of course, it was my friend’s dedication to building trust through positive reinforcement and kind communication with Chillie.

Second, my mom never tried to win her over. She simply shared the space peacefully, never invading Chillie’s boundaries, never even looking directly at her—just quietly being present.

As I always teach in my classes, dogs communicate through body language and emotional energy far more than words.

My mom’s calm, gentle, and serene presence spoke directly to Chillie’s heart. Within just an hour of meeting her, Chillie chose to walk over on her own and cover my mom with sweet puppy kisses. 🥹💖

Watching trust bloom so naturally is one of the most beautiful things about dogs. I feel incredibly grateful that I was able to capture this fleeting, heartwarming moment. 🙏✨🐶

Big welcome to Bow Wow Academy Puppy Manners July 22🐶🤍💚🌺

Puppies begin learning social cues from littermates. Signs of calming include freezing, turning their head away, yawning, blinking, and lip-licking. Once they understand these signals, they will adapt to other puppies and dogs in their environment.
We make sure assessing who’s who on first week then carefully match their compatible friend😊🐶

Such a pleasure to have watched these sweet faces to graduate all our classes✨🐶
Especially when they come in unsure about the group classes and being around other dogs a little shy like this little Ruby who has become more social and not fearful around other dogs and accomplished some of the kindergarten agility obstacles🥳
Hera the golden beauty has always been adjustable sweet girl but her recall was becoming a bit challenging so this time of our classes reinforced her focus and connection with her daddy🥰
It was a special sweet semi private graduation session🥹💖

These sweetest faces are from our latest Puppy Manners Saturday class🥹😍🐶
Some learned their names very first time, some picks up the release cues right away and accomplished 10 seconds impulse control already, some could be away from their pawrents very comfortably and played with people and new classmates!
