Porter was adopted from an owner who struggled to train him due to a disability. Before training with his current owner he was a wild man on-leash, thrashing/pulling, jumped, wailing, etc. We started with building his leash skills and then advanced after a few lessons to the e-collar for further clarity. He did fantastic! Porter went to Lowe’s for his final lesson and he behaved perfectly. Porter and his owner did an excellent job building a clear communication system and boundaries opening up more possibilities to enjoy the world around them!

This furry potato is Roscoe! As a 9 year old dog Roscoe came to his current home with a lot of habits that were not serving anyone in the household, including himself. Roscoe needed a new home when his first owner entered assisted living. Previously living in a one owner house with someone who doesn’t have a lot of company over or go out much means Roscoe didn’t receive the necessary exposure to build his tolerance to stress and favored his new female owner over his male owner. An unexpected sound, his male owner coming through a room, or being touched when he wasn’t in the mood would cause over the top reactions and sometimes biting. We had to start with building a coping mechanism for Roscoe involving physical touch which encouraged him to release his over-arousal in an appropriate manner. Having this as a base then allowed us to gradually build exposure to his triggers and teach him to work through them rather than impulsively respond. At the end of his lessons Roscoe had increased his tolerance towards handling for grooming/medical treatment, being in the company of his male owner, accepting company at the house, random noises around the house, and dropping inappropriate items rather than fighting over them. Roscoe and his people are now living a more peaceful life together!

Cash started our Board and Train program as a do-it-when-I-want kind of guy and became a I’m-on-it-right-away champ. We focused on building a solid recall which gives him more freedom in the yard and his dog-siblings a chance at relief when they’re done playing. Cash also improved his settling ability through place and down/stay so it’s no longer nonstop play in the house.

Finn showed a love for learning early on and had settled in nicely to his home but struggled with being spooked around loud machinery. In his lessons we worked on his on-leash skills and then practiced measured exposure to the things that made him jumpy and unable to focus. When wrapping up his lessons Finn was showing a lot more confidence around things that used to make him panic.

Bear is one of the friendliest guys you’ll meet! His people had a lot of good skills from their last training program with us and everyone was off to a good start together. Bear just needed a bit of extra help regulating his excitement. He would bounce off of you full of joy or play non-stop with his buddies to the point they were no longer interested. Using his obedience skills, we we worked to desensitize Bear and make exciting things a little less exciting while keeping all his joy intact.

Indy started her training to build her ability to self regulate and be a better listener. One of our big goals was to walk Indy with her big brother Chevy and not have their owner go skiing on dry land. And as you can see with a quick refresher for Chevy they passed the test! Chevy is also very appreciative that Indy has developed a pause button and no longer pesters him endlessly while he’s trying to relax.

Ruby is a darling, fun-loving girl who is always ready to make a new friend. She came in for a Board & Train stay to gain her skills and get on the same page as her big sister, Scarlett, who came to work with us previously. Ruby breezed through her training and nailed her go-home lesson where she faced the biggest distraction of them all—Scarlett!

Mabel needed help with her impulse control in order to avoid smothering her people with her love and stop running after critters around the farm. Mabel made a ton of progress as she learned clear personal boundaries and expectations for interactions, gained the ability to settle and not bid for attention every second, and can be reliably off leash to enjoy a good run!

Winnie is a great girl with a lot of love to give. She was already reasonably reliable off leash but her family’s biggest complaint was her jumping on guests and turning her ears off to follow the lead of the other dogs in the house during exciting situations. We reworked her basic skills then advanced to off leash to gain the clarity needed for the higher intensity moments she struggled with before. Winnie sailed through her training and is now showing off to all her visitors.

Missie is a pup with a high herding drive. Mix in the fact she came to her family at 4 weeks old and Missie was set up to become a furry alligator. Puppies can eat food at 4 weeks old but the next 4 weeks of their life is a critical socialization period when they are taught by their mom and littermates bite inhibition, or the ability to measure the amount of pressure they apply with their mouths and when it’s appropriate to use their mouths. Working in our lessons we took Missie back to preschool and showed her the when’s and when not to use her mouth. We established other personal boundaries to eliminate jumping and gained obedience skills to develop more self control across the board. Missie has truly done a 180 and her people are thrilled to not be chew toys any longer.
