Congratulations to Aradia for becoming an AKC evaluator!

You know what that means! We'll be running CGC tests and a new CGC prep class.

The CGC test will be for TESTING ONLY, cost $30 and can be booked on Wednesdays starting Sept. 23rd. To sign up for testing, visit the 🔗 in our bio.

We'll also be offering a 4-week CGC Prep Class for $200.This class focuses on preparing your dog to earn the AKC Canine Good Citizen title, and is taught by Head Trainer, Emma, who has earned CGC titles for both of her dogs. In this class, you will learn how to chain behaviors together, how to reduce reinforcement so you don’t have to rely on having treats or toys to get your dog to perform behaviors, and participate in a mock trial, so that you are as prepared as you can be for your testing day. Please note: this class does not teach the behaviors needed for the CGC, it only prepares you for the test. If you and your dog still need to learn the behaviors for the test (review test items on the AKC website), we recommend taking our Green Dog, Teens & In-Betweens and either the Polite Dog or Brew Dog class to prepare for your dog for the CGC.

Our first class will begin on Friday 12/08 at 6:00pm *Skips 12/29. To sign up, go to our Gingr portal (linked in the bio as well!)

We also now have our evaluator for our Tricky Dog class. We just wrapped up the last round and are excited for all of the folks who earned their Novice Trick Dog title! The next round of Tricky Dog starts 10/27 at 6:00pm, and sign ups are available in Gingr.

DM if you have any questions!

Get inspired✨

I love the look on my dogs' faces when they smell some pork leg cooking. My husband and I are vegetarian, so when the dogs smell meat cooking, they know it's for them!

Shout-out to Fubonn for having not only an amazing meat selection, but also the best fake meat selection, in town. It's my one stop shop for all of our protein needs for my whole household.

3 Steps to Introduce Your Dog to Another Dog

Too many people just take the leashes off, cross their fingers, and hope it turns out okay. Here are three steps we follow to introduce two dogs who have never met before.

Meet Dolcé. 🐾

Dolcé came to us at 5 years old, newly adopted by our Admin Assistant Mila, after spending his early life on a farm — far from the sights, sounds, and stimulation of city living. When he moved in with Mila, that unfamiliarity showed up as reactivity toward other dogs and people.

Reactivity is one of the most common challenges dog owners face, and it can feel so isolating! Reactive doesn't automatically mean aggressive. It's often rooted in fear, overstimulation, or simply never having learned how to process a busy world.

Here's what Dolcé's journey has looked like over 5 sessions:
✔️ Learning to read and respond to other dogs' body language
✔️ Building confidence in new environments
✔️ Practicing calm greetings with people and dogs
✔️ Finding his footing — literally and figuratively

Is he "finished"? Nope. Leash reactivity is still a work in progress, and that's okay. Progress isn't always linear.

If you have a reactive dog who struggles with socialization, know that it's never too late to start. Age, history, and past experiences don't disqualify a dog from learning — they just shape how we approach the work together. Follow the 🔗 in our bio to learn more about our School for Dogs where your dog can work on these skills with us.

We're so proud of you, Dolcé. 🤎

And P.S. shout-out to all of the helper dogs at school, like Poppy, who do the heavy lifting to teach positive dog-dog social skills. You are so loved, and we couldn't do the work we do without them!
