Amka had another great day of training! 🐾

We worked on recalls into a down and practiced “done” while playing with Jordy! She’s responding to verbal direction without corrections, just working on quicker compliance!

We also hit up PetSmart, where she handled all the smells and chaos pretty well, despite Knox having a meltdown. 😂

And we finished with a family walk where she was BY FAR the best-behaved dog of the bunch! 😂🥰

Lots of little things coming together for this girl! 🖤

Today we had our midway lesson with Amka’s mom! 🐾

We caught up, got on the same page, worked through some handling kinks, and made sure we’re addressing all of their training goals. We even adjusted a few commands to better fit their everyday life!

One of the things I love about my Residency Program is that owners are still very much a part of the process!

At the end of the day, owners need to know how to lead their dogs through everyday situations. But it’s a whole lot easier to teach an owner how to handle a dog who already understands what’s expected of them!

That’s why this program works so well. I build the foundation, then we work together to make sure that training carries over into their home and everyday life! 🖤

Rainy day training with Amka! 🐾🌧️

We spent some time indoors working on duration and solidifying those sit-stays before heading outside for some off-leash prep!

She’s doing great, and we’ll continue building reliability with more freedom and distractions as we get out on walks!

Tomorrow her owners get to see all her hard work, and I can’t wait! Although I’m fully expecting her to sing the song of her people when she sees them. 😂🐺

This girl has come so far! 🖤

Amka got to put her training to the test at our Halloween get-together, and she ROCKED it! 🎃🐾

She loved everyone, didn’t jump on a single person, listened to her “out” command, and left all the food alone! 🙌

There were a few little moments where I stepped in with some direction to help her navigate the excitement, but overall, she made some GREAT choices!

When she wasn’t part of the party, she relaxed in her crate with just a little whining here and there. HUGE progress!

These are the real-life opportunities I love incorporating into the Residency Program!

And after watching Amka’s manners yesterday, I’m thinking I should probably spend a little more time training my own dog. Looking at you, Jordy. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

🎶 Too much b***y in the pants! 🎶 🍑😂

Amka understood the assignment. That fluffy Husky b***y deserves its own soundtrack. 💃🐾

Amka is making some great progress! 🐾

Her recalls are coming along SOOOO nicely! We also went on a longer walk and worked on leash manners and thresholds. Still trying to sneak in some bush sniffing when she thinks I’m not paying attention. 😂

BIG crate breakthrough! She’s finally going in on command and settling much better with less whining! 🙌

We’ve also started working on place and building duration. This girl is really shaping up nicely! 🖤
