Just dropped Jaxx off at home, and I’m already missing this guy.

When he first came to us, he was the dog jumping on tables at a restaurant. Since then, he’s worked through real-world training everywhere from quiet walks in the woods to farmers markets, busy public spaces, and intense distractions.

He came a long way, and he earned every bit of this moment.

Today he’s back home in Connecticut, ready to keep building on everything he learned.

Proud of you, Jaxx. 🐾

Happy birthday, Jaxx! 🎉🐾

Jaxx spent his birthday at the Greenport dock diving event for his final stress test before heading home today. Between the crowd, dogs, noise, movement, and all the excitement, he handled it like a pro.

This is exactly why we train in the real world. Obedience has to hold up outside of the house, around real distractions, and in unpredictable environments.

Jaxx is absolutely acing it, and today I’ll be bringing him back home to Connecticut after all the hard work he’s put in.

Proud of this dog.

Two different locations. Two different distractions. Same result.

In the first video, Jax is holding a down stay in Home Depot until I call him back to me.

In the second video, we are at Pet’s Warehouse where he holds another down stay, then comes directly into heel position when called.

Both were executed flawlessly.

This dog has come a long way. In the beginning, this would not have been possible. The environment, the smells, the people, the movement - it all would have been too much. But with consistency, structure, and clear expectations, Jax has become a completely different dog.

He is such a good dog, and I am proud of the work he has put in.

Real training shows up in real life.

Not all training makes for an exciting video.

Sometimes the real work is quiet, boring, and easy to overlook.

Jaxx held a down stay for 20 minutes inside Home Depot while people walked by, carts rolled past, and distractions moved all around him.

That is real training.

No barking. No breaking position. No constant management. Just calm, controlled obedience in a real-world environment.

The goal is not just a dog that listens when everything is easy. The goal is a dog that can hold it together when life is happening around him.

Big environments create real opportunities for real-world training.
Over the weekend, we brought Jaxx and Ace out to the dock diving event at for socialization and environmental exposure training — crowds, dogs, noise, movement, excitement, and distractions everywhere.
Both dogs absolutely crushed it. Calm down stays, controlled walking through heavy foot traffic, neutrality around other dogs, and solid engagement despite everything going on around them.
This is why we focus so heavily on real-life training scenarios. A dog that listens in the living room is one thing. A dog that can stay calm, focused, and responsive in a busy public environment is the goal.
Jaxx and Ace made us proud today.

Went back home, grabbed my trash picker, some garbage bags, and came back to Prosser Pines to clean this mess up myself.
By the time I was done, I filled an entire garbage bag with trash that somebody decided to dump. Bottles, wrappers, wipes, random garbage — all thrown right near the fence while there’s literally a garbage can less than 100 feet away.
What I originally thought may have been dog waste now honestly looks like it may have been human waste based on the amount of sanitary wipes and even a feminine hygiene product left in the area. ( Could still be dog p**p, but wasn’t taking a chance) Because of the potential biohazard risk, I did not remove the waste itself, but everything else has been cleaned up.
So I have a question for anyone who may know: who would we contact to have the excrement safely removed from the area?
At this point, this is officially my unofficial spot, and I’ll be making sure it stays clean moving forward. Places like Prosser Pines deserve better than this.

This is exactly how places get ruined for everyone.
Prosser Pines has been one of my go-to spots for training dogs for years because it’s peaceful, clean, and surrounded by nature. Seeing someone dump garbage all over the side of the fence — with a trash can less than 100 feet away — is honestly disgusting.
If you enjoy parks, trails, and nature preserves, clean up after yourself. It takes almost no effort to throw your garbage away, but it takes a lot to restore places once people stop caring about them. Long Island deserves better than this.

Not every dog is food motivated—and that’s where good training adapts. Instead of forcing food, we’re building his drive the right way by tapping into prey instinct with the flirt pole.
This is how you create engagement.
This is how you build motivation.
This is how you start turning a dog on to work.
No shortcuts—just meeting the dog where he’s at and developing what’s already inside him.
