🐶Adventures Without the Arm Workout

True socialization isn’t about your puppy greeting every single dog or person—it’s about teaching them how to be calm and confident in the real world.

The Little Paws program takes learning out into the real world to:

🌿 Practice polite leash manners in varied, real-life settings so you can enjoy relaxing, tangle-free neighborhood strolls

👃 Give safe, healthy outlets for natural sniffing and exploration to satisfy innate curiosity and prevent destructive boredom at home

🐾 Build focus around novel scents, sounds, and gentle outdoor distractions so your puppy remains composed and responsive wherever you go

Raise an adaptable adventure buddy from day one. Don’t miss out – space is limited!

❓❓Did Your Polite Puppy Suddenly Turn into a Rebellious Teenager?

You made it through the puppy stage… and just when you thought you were in the clear, adolescence hit.

The manners vanished. The recall stopped working. The listening? Completely out the window.

Here is the truth: Your dog isn’t being spiteful, and you haven’t failed.

They’re navigating a surge of hormones and major brain rewiring that makes impulse control genuinely hard. Force and frustration won’t fix it—but smart, games-based communication will.

The Teen Tails Program is our specialized year-long framework designed to guide you and your adolescent dog through the storm:

🎯 Game-Based Training: Rewire how your dog responds to distractions by making focus genuinely rewarding.

🌲 Real-World Adventures: Take manners out of the living room and proof them on trails, sidewalks, and busy environments.

🤝 Lifelong Relationship: Build a resilient, trusting partnership that outlasts the teenage phase.

Adolescence is just a chapter—make sure it ends with the dependable companion you’ve always wanted.

📅 Next intake starts: September 12, 2026

🐾 Only 6 spots available to guarantee dedicated, small-group attention.

🐾Don't Fight the Teenage Brain—Work With It in our Teen Tails Program

You survived the puppy biting, potty training, and sleepless nights… and then adolescence hit.

Suddenly, your dog has forgotten their name, their manners, and every cue they used to know.

😤Take a deep breath: You’re not failing. Your dog is just a teenager.

Between hormonal surges and massive brain development, adolescent dogs aren’t giving you a hard time—they’re having a hard time. But you don’t have to fight it with force or constant frustration.

In the Teen Tails Program, we work with the teenage brain instead of against it through:

🧠 Science-backed, games-based training that turns listening into the best game in town

🌲 Real-world adventure outings so manners hold up around real distractions

🤝 Skills that stick for life to protect the bond you’ve worked so hard to build
Adolescence is temporary, but the relationship you build today lasts a lifetime.

📅 Next intake starts: September 12, 2026
🐾 Space is strictly limited to 6 spots.

🐶Got a New Puppy? The Habits Formed Today Will Last a Lifetime.

So, you got a new puppy… They’re fluffy, hilarious, and full of personality. But remember: they are always learning. 🐾

Every single day is shaping the dog they will grow up to be. The habits built right now—the great ones and the not-so-great ones—will stick.

That’s why we created the Little Paws Program.

We know how crucial that first year is for long-term behavior. Raising a confident, resilient, and polite companion isn’t magic—it comes from knowing what to do and when to do it. We don't just train your puppy; we empower you with the skills to guide them every step of the way.

What to expect:

🐾 Confidence Building & Core Life Skills: Set your pup up to make great choices naturally.

🐾 Welfare-First, Force-Free Training: Compassionate methods that strengthen your bond.

🐾 Flexible Coaching: Because puppy development doesn't follow a rigid schedule, we meet you and your pup exactly where you are.

🐾 Certified, Expert Guidance: Clear, real-world handling solutions that fit into everyday life.

Give your puppy the foundation they need to thrive everywhere you go.

📅 Next intake starts: September 12, 2026

🪄Transform Teen Dog Drama into Everyday Focus (Without the Power Struggles)

Why battle adolescent stubbornness with force when you can outsmart it with fun?

In Teen Tails, we tackle teenage distraction using positive, science-backed games-based training. Instead of drilling repetitive obedience, we play targeted games that rewire how your dog responds to the world around them.

Your teenage rebel will develop skills to:

🧠 Sharpen self-control when big impulses strike to prevent reckless rushing and jumping

🎯 Voluntarily disengage from outdoor triggers and distractions so you can easily regain their attention anywhere

🤝 Choose to focus on you because it's genuinely rewarding, making everyday cooperation feel effortless instead of a constant battle

Watch these games in action as an expert trainer works through real-life training moments with her own adolescent dog, showing you exactly how to get reliable results too.

Make training the highlight of your dog's day.

🐕Turn trail hikes into an adventure with Canicross!

With canicross, you and your pup move as one—connected by a hands-free bungee line, belt, and harness, working together through the trails.

It’s not about racing; it’s about fitness, teamwork, and channeling that natural pulling energy into something positive and fun!

Our small group size and your feet firmly planted on the ground, makes it a safe way to start harness sports so you and your dog can take the time to learn the cues and build a working relationship, both of which makes the transition to other mushing sports like skijoring an easy transition.

✨What our introductory training covers:

👉Session 1 (30 mins) - Sat, Sep 12 at11:30 a.m. - Mastering the foundational directional and pace cues.

👉Session 2 (75–90 mins) - Sun, Sep 20 at 9:00 a.m. - Gearing up with proper canicross equipment and hitting the trail together!

🎆Bonus: Once completed, you’ll unlock access to our weekend morning group hikes (spring through fall and maybe winter)!

Whether you plan to walk, run, or hike with your dog—everyone is welcome.

💡Wait, You Mean Puppy Training Doesn't Have to Be Boring?!

Forget dry obedience drills—puppy brains learn best through play! 🎾✨

In the Little Paws Program, every foundational skill is taught through fun, science-backed games. Rather than using corrections or pressure, we teach puppies how to make great choices on their own, which means better decision making as they grow and less management needed from you.

Why games-based training works:

💡 Puppies stay eager, engaged, and stress-free so learning happens naturally without resistance or fear

🔄 Skills are learned faster and stick longer to save you time and prevent training regressions down the road

🤝 It strengthens your connection as a true partner with your pup, turning everyday guidance into a joyful team effort

Training should be the best part of your puppy’s day.

Space is limited so learn more and register now to start in our fall intake.
