Worked with Arlo at BrewDog today on public access skills.

One of the biggest things we worked on was neutrality around distractions. At one point our waitress walked right up to the table carrying food and Arlo didn’t break position, didn’t panic, didn’t try to investigate it, and didn’t lose his mind over the environment around him. He just stayed calm and engaged.

That kind of stuff matters. A lot.

Dogs need to learn how to function in the real world around real distractions, real people, real smells, and real movement. Public access work helps build confidence, impulse control, and the ability to settle in unfamiliar environments instead of constantly reacting to everything around them.

Arlo did a really nice job today.

Arlo is in the middle of a four week board and train with me. He’s out here doing good boy stuff.

GROUP CLASSES!!!!!

We’re officially starting group classes at Genius Dogs.

These classes are designed for real life dogs and real life people. We’ll be working on:

* obedience
* leash work
* engagement
* impulse control
* confidence building
* social neutrality
* handling distractions
* learning how to actually communicate with your dog

Classes will run once a week for about 1–1.5 hours and are $200/month.

One of the biggest benefits of group work is that dogs get to practice around other dogs, people, movement, smells, and chaos in a controlled environment instead of trying to learn everything inside your quiet living room and then falling apart in public.

You’ll also get to meet other dog owners who are working toward the same goals, ask questions, learn from each other, and build a community around training instead of trying to figure it all out alone.

Whether your goal is better manners, more confidence, better public behavior, or just a dog you can actually enjoy taking places, these classes are built to help create that.

Message us if you’re interested in joining the next group.

When I first met Chippy, he stood on a street corner in Columbus screaming at me for 45 straight minutes while hiding behind his owner. If a person was across the street, he panicked. If the world moved too fast around him, he panicked. When his owner first brought him home, it took almost 3 weeks before he would even let them touch him.

Dogs like Chippy break my heart a little bit because you can tell somewhere along the way, life taught them that people aren’t safe.

Two weeks ago, if we saw someone on the other side of the block, he would hide behind me and scream like the world was ending. Today we walked past people with loose body language and a wagging tail.

That may not sound like a big deal to some people, but for this little dog, it’s huge.

He’s still got work to do and we’re only halfway through his board and train, but seeing him start to feel safe enough to exist in the world without panic is the kind of progress that matters.

I got to hang out with these dudes, and their super cool family. Cody is doing a great job with Jace. He is consistently alerting 20 minutes faster than the machine. A well trained Diabetic Alert dog can be the difference between a normal day, and an absolute crisis.

Got to hang out with these guys and their super cool family today. Cody is doing a great job! He is consistently alerting Jace 20 minutes faster than his machine alert him. For someone with diabetes, a dog can be the difference between having a normal day, and an absolute crisis.

Minnie is about to graduate! I’m
So proud of this spunky little pup. She had a pretty rough start in life. She was rescued as a stray running loose on the streets. When she came to me, she was absolutely terrified of all people. She’s gained so much confidence. She’s going to have such a better life because of this.

This is the reality of so many dogs we see...

Fun
Energetic
Friendly

But they have ZERO manners lol

No recall
No leash obedience
No understanding of commands

Luckily, they're easily changed

And that's what we'll be working on with Chase over these coming weeks 🐾

Working Jasper & Gemma together down at the pet store

This exposure is a great way to teach dogs how to be comfortable in highly-stimulating environments under distraction

You can’t see it, but Gemma is laid up next to some kittens - and is completely unphased

We love to see it! 🐾
