Welcome to HQ Oscar & Barkley for a week of Structured Boarding! Fun fact: I fostered both of these dogs at the same time when they were looking for homes through and they got adopted by the same family a year apart! So happy to have them back, excited to get them into dog social and spend some time with them this week!

Board & Train Graduate Ollie just arrived to HQ a bit ago for a long weekend of Structured Boarding! Can’t wait to get her in some dog socials & have her help as “place” distraction for the b&ts!

One of the biggest mistakes people make in dog training is focusing so much on the end goal that they forget to celebrate the small wins along the way.

The reality is that every polished behavior, every calm walk, every reliable command, and every success story is built on hundreds of tiny victories that happened first.

Dogs like Bonnie (and her brother Hughey) are a perfect example. When these dogs are scared, they essentially become feral. They aren’t being stubborn or difficult—they are genuinely struggling to process the world around them. Working through that level of fear and anxiety is hard, messy, and takes an incredible amount of patience, consistency, and repetition.

So while some people might watch this video and think, “It’s just a dog getting on a place cot,” I see something very different.

I see the countless reps it took to build trust. I see the work it took to help Bonnie think instead of react. I see a dog who once would have shut down or avoided the pressure now confidently making a decision and executing it fluidly.

That may seem small, but for Bonnie, it’s huge.

Small win. Big celebration. 🎉🐾

Because these little victories are exactly what eventually create the dog everyone dreams about.

🐾 Look at Louie on his walk, perfecting his “heel” like a pro! 🐾

We’re so proud of this guy—his consistency and focus are paying off. Louie had several Day Training sessions before starting his Board & Train, and that solid foundation has made all the difference! 💪

Because of that groundwork, his Board & Train now allows us to focus on fine-tuning and e-collar conditioning, making the process smoother and more effective. Louie is leveling up, and we can’t wait to see his progress! ✨

🐾 Welcome to HQ, Hughey & Bonnie! 🐾

This adorable brother-sister duo has officially checked in for their 4-Week Board & Train Program! ❤️

At 6 years old, these littermates and lifelong housemates are as sweet as can be, but they both struggle with leash reactivity, barking, and overall reliability. Hughey is the more nervous of the two, dealing with a bit more anxiety and having a tougher time settling in a crate, while Bonnie is a little more confident but still has plenty to learn.

Over the next four weeks we’ll be working on:

✅ E-collar conditioning for reliable communication
✅ Tone recall
✅ Place command for better state of mind and impulse control
✅ Structured heel work
✅ Addressing leash reactivity and barking
✅ Improving crate training
✅ Working around other dogs
✅ Building appropriate dog social skills

Training sibling pairs can be especially challenging because they often rely heavily on one another, so we’ll be spending time working them both individually to help build confidence and independence, then bring them together and work them as a pair.

We’ve got our work cut out for us, but I’m excited to help these two become the best versions of themselves! Stay tuned for their progress over the next month.

And seriously... are they not the cutest little duo you’ve ever seen?! 😍🐶🐶

I can’t miss an opportunity to talk about how proud I am of my heart and soul dog, Wesley!

I’ve put a lot of work into training Wes so he could work alongside me and help rehab client dogs. Even at 8 weeks old, he just had it — that hard-to-describe “good boy” quality that made me believe he was going to be something special. With a lot of training, he became everything I hoped for and so much more.

Now at 8 years old, he still blows my mind every time he helps me with a client dog. 🥹🐶

Getting his cancer diagnosis in December has really put into perspective how lucky I am to have him. I know our time together is limited, and because of that, I’m cherishing every single moment we have left. ❤️

Yesterday, Wesley joined me for a session with a leash-reactive dog named Sunday. Wes spent the entire session off leash, heeling perfectly, holding down/stays from a distance, recalling on command, and serving as the perfect neutral distraction.

Sunday and her owner did an awesome job working through the session — practicing heeling past Wes, delivering properly timed corrections for the “looking, locking, and loading” phase before a reaction, and staying consistent. By the end of the session, Sunday was noticeably more relaxed and comfortable passing Wes and other distractions without exploding.

Big wins all around. 💙

And as always, I owe so much of that success to my best friend. Thanks for being the dog you are, Wes. 🤎

Louis is 3 days into his 3-week Board & Train Program and today was a big milestone—his first introduction to the e-collar!

We started by finding his working level, which is the lowest level of stimulation he can feel without it being uncomfortable or annoying. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be conditioning Louis to the e-collar, creating clear communication and working toward reliable off-leash obedience.

Today we also introduced “tone” recall, and Louis picked it up incredibly fast! 👏

One of the reasons he’s progressing so quickly is because he’s no stranger to HQ. Louis has already participated in several Day Training Sessions and has stayed with us for Structured Boarding multiple times. All of that previous work has helped build a solid foundation and made the beginning stages of training much smoother.

We’re excited to continue building on that foundation and can’t wait to show you his progress over the next few weeks! 🐾

🐾💙 Welcome Louis to HQ! 💙🐾

Louis is here for a 3 Week Board & Train Program following multiple successful Day Training sessions! 🐶✨

During his stay, we’ll be focusing on:

🔹 E-collar conditioning to improve reliability of all commands
🔹 Building longer “place” duration (a command he learned during Day Training)
🔹 Teaching a structured heel
🔹 Tone recall
🔹 Dog socialization and engagement around other dogs

Louis already has a great foundation to build on, and now it’s time to take everything to the next level. We’re excited to have him here and can’t wait to see his progress over the next three weeks! 💙🐾
