I need to congratulate Laura Schneider and Rusty!!
Rusty is our star student ✨️ for this spring puppy class session.
Our goals in this class is to get owners engaged with their puppies.
Engagement grows attention. When our puppies learn to pay attention and enjoy it they will default to it!!!Graduation night challenges students to test how far their dogs can pay attention when asked to.
Most puppy will stay fairly attentive for 9 seconds, that seems to be the average.
Up until this session the record was 36 seconds held by a Labrador.
Well Rusty broke that record goung 40 seconds 😳
Laura and Rusty put in the time and now are reaping the rewards 🏆
Congratulations 🎊

Training tip of the day..

The recall.
Why do we want our dogs to come to us quickly?
There are many reasons like for safety of your pet, general control in your environment.

Why should my dog want to come to me?
Because he should want to get to me quickly because I've taught them the value of getting to me and they want the rewards we have developed over time. The dog should love to come to you it should be a conditioned response for your dog.

Once your dog has a reliable recall your dog gains freedom.
Thought for the day 🤔

I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to all the people that helped with the flooding a couple weeks ago.
We did some sand bagging as a precaution, and want to thank the Thoma's for getting bags to us!

I also want to thank the people out there that have so generous sending in donations for those people that have kept their pets here while they are dealing with housing issues 😀

But we could use more donations. We still will have pets here for a while and helping those with their bill when there is so many other financial burdens is really heartwarming ❤️

I have seen tears of a little boy that not only lost his home but now has to leave his best friend and he doesn't understand it was only temporary.
He came almost everyday to visit his buddy and grew to understand the situation, he understood that we were keeping his pets safe and when he could return home his cats would be with him.
Which they are now!

My office has the best art work of him and his best friends 🧡

So if you have the means to still donation we are still looking to cover a few more pets ❤️
