Archer has been with me for 2 weeks today! He has been doing amazing with:
•loose leash walking
•sit and release
•jumping and nipping
•leave it and drop it

Truly at 4 months he is SUCH A GOOD DOG 😉

If you are going out of town around the holidays or need some help with your puppy I’d love to help whether it’s a group class, private session or board and train in my home!

Welcome OLIVER to a one week Board and Train! Oliver’s mom passed away, not terribly long ago so his world has been turned upside down.

For many years, Oliver’s world was truly only his mom and not a lot more .:: so he was not exposed to being on a leash or being new places with strange people.

During his stay with me, we will be focusing on socialization, potty training, crate training, and learning to walk on a leash .

He is such a brave boy and doing some brave things and I can’t wait to update how Oliver does!

Meet adorable mr Milo who is learning to walk on a leash and not pull his owners!

The best part of my job is seeing my students put in the work and start to increase difficulty over time. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

👋 Welcome Molly and Remi who are sisters and staying for a one week board and train!

While here the main things focused on are jumping and loose leash walking.

We will also work on waiting at the doors and leave it.

Aren’t they ADORABLE?! If you see us out and about feel free to stop and say hey!

Lets talk about.... Dogs and fireworks

If this is your dog's first 4th of July be proactive and set them up to successfully get through it. If you're dog is afraid of thunderstorms they're probably afraid of fireworks. Here are some things you can do:

1. Exercise them hard in the late afternoon/early evening. Crazy long walks, swimming, anything that will tire them out
2. Doggy ear plugs. Ask your vet
3. When the popping starts have the TV or stereo already on loud and keep them busy with a game or indoor recall, something to keep their focus off the sound
4. Be a good example of calm. Don't react to the sounds, be as routine and normal as possible
5. Have them on a leash if there is the slightest possibility that they can dash out a door
6. If it's a serious problem for your dog talk to your vet about medication for the night
7. Start your dog on CBD a few days before.

One of my dogs doesn’t enjoy the 4th but she can get through it without trauma using these techniques.

Anyone have other techniques they've used?

🎉 WELCOME “Boomer” to our 2 week board and train! He is a sweetie who needs to learn some puppy basics!

During his stay we are mainly focusing on:

•JUMPING
•LOOSE LEASH WALKING (he is a strong boy!)
•RELEASE COMMAND
•WAIT
•LEAVE IT
•NIPPING
•POTTY TRAINING
•COUNTER SURFING

He truly is sweet adorable long eared boy 😍

He just needs some things tweaked and some leadership and rules put in place because he is a smidge stubborn (I mean he is a basset haha)

If you see us around town, feel free to stop by and say HI because the more people we work him around the better he will get 👋
