In this video, I’m explaining what I’m doing in real time while training:

• High-value food reinforcement to strengthen engagement and position
• Low-level e-collar stimulation used as a tactile cue, not punishment
• Clear communication through operant conditioning — reinforcing desired behavior and reducing reliance on prompts over time

The e-collar is introduced after the behavior is already understood and is used to:

✔ Increase clarity
✔ Improve reliability under distraction
✔ Support calm, focused movement

This is a combination of positive reinforcement (food, praise, movement) and negative reinforcement (removing light pressure once Ruby makes the correct choice), applied thoughtfully and ethically.

We were able to take Ruby into a busy public environment because we spent an entire week beforehand building the foundation:

✓ Focus and engagement
✓ Basic obedience
✓ Confidence and emotional regulation
✓ Gradual exposure to novelty (systematic desensitization)

We don’t rush public outings — preparation and threshold awareness are what make sessions like this successful.

This type of progress can be achieved through private training sessions or our Board & Train program, depending on the level of support your dog needs.

If you’re in Chattanooga and struggling with leash walking or public outings, we’d love to help.

Halo came to us overwhelmed and unsure how to trust the world around her. With patience, structure, and the support of our Pack, she learned that she didn’t have to face everything alone. That’s what we believe in here — it takes a Pack to raise a pup, especially one who’s struggling with big feelings like guarding, fear, or reactivity.

If you’re noticing early signs, we’re here to help you and your dog feel supported, understood, and guided every step of the way.

DM “HALO” for $100 off a January Board & Train.
Let our Pack become part of your dog’s success story. 🐾💛

🚨 Chattanooga’s ONLY 8-Week Puppy Board & Train Program 🚨

Yes — we’re the only ones who can take puppies this young. Here’s why that matters 👇

Early potty training is a game-changer, but it requires something most facilities can’t offer: 24/7 in-home care, constant supervision, and age-appropriate structure. That’s exactly what our Premium Puppy Board & Train provides.

Your puppy gets:

• Round-the-clock care in a calm home environment
• A personalized potty training routine for tiny bladders
• Gentle exposure + early socialization
• Crate training and confidence building
• A safe, nurturing space to learn healthy habits from day one

This is the foundation every puppy deserves — and the program that creates results owners rave about.

🐾 Want your puppy to start life with clarity, structure, and success?

We’re so grateful to Ruby’s amazing family for driving all the way from Atlanta to bring her to our Board & Train program! 💜

They’ve already done such a great job building her foundation — working with a local trainer to strengthen her obedience skills and exposure. But they knew Ruby needed more support to address the core issue: her fear-based reactivity.

That’s where we come in. Our Board & Train program focuses on helping dogs like Ruby work through the emotional process behind barking, lunging, and pulling — not just managing the behavior, but building true confidence and focus through structure, calm leadership, and trust.

We can’t wait to share her progress and celebrate every step of her journey!

Blu is back for boarding 💙

Some pups need a little extra support when they’re away from home, and that’s completely normal. At Pack Academy, we combine structured routines, controlled socialization, and targeted enrichment to help dogs regulate their nervous system and settle with confidence.

We also integrate gentle, science-backed complementary tools — like Bach Flower remedies — which can support emotional balance when paired with proper behavioral management.

Anxiety looks different in every dog, but with the right plan, they can learn to feel safe.
Proud of you, Blu! 🌿✨

We love helping Chattanooga dogs find calm confidence ❤️

Channel came to us full of love and excitement — she’d pull, bark, and lose focus anytime another dog was around.

After 2 weeks in our Board & Train program, she learned how to slow down, stay calm, and walk politely on leash.

Our training focuses on real-life results, balanced structure, and personalized care — so you can enjoy peaceful walks and a happier dog.
