This week wrapped up another round of Level 1 Foundations group class - time to celebrate some graduates! All these pups jumped right into their first round of training and hit the ground running learning a bunch of new skills. We are so proud of all these dogs and their families for all the hard work they put into training!

Yay for our Level One graduates! Looking forward to seeing a bunch in Level 2!

Captain is a pretty perfect boy. He's used for all puppies and dogs whether they need a fun playmate to zoom through the tunnel with, a mentor to help gain confidence or a calm dog that will ignore reactivity and barking/lunging. I have fallen pretty in love with our "office dog" and his soulful eyes (he wants my treats, but I pretend it's adoration). Please vote for him!

Captain is nominated and in the running for the Ambassadog Event, and we would love your help getting him into the Top Group! Let's make this handsome pup a star, and maybe even see his adorable face on a beer can! How awesome would that be?

Every vote brings Captain one step closer, and your support means the world to us (especially Ally)! Cast your vote today and help Captain make the Top 7!

We also have some wonderful and adorable dayschool (and social) graduates in the running who would also appreciate the support! Share the love and use some of your daily votes for these kiddos as well! (P.S. please let us know if we missed your pup - especially if it's been a while since we've seen them!)

Yay! So glad i joined this team. From day one, I was welcomed with open arms by an incredible group of people who genuinely care about dogs and the humans on the other end of the leash. Kailey, Ally, and Shana all bring their own base of knowledge, compassion, and a true passion for helping families succeed.
Im especially grateful for leadership from our owner, Maggie. Creating a positive and supportive environment where both clients and trainers can grow is something that doesn't happen by accident, and it shows every single day.
I'm proud to work alongside a team that shares the same goal of helping dogs and their people through kindness, understanding, and effective training. I truly couldn't ask for a better team to be part of!

🌟We are thrilled to announce that for the second year running we've been named "𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘆" in Pet Training! 🌟

For our team, it's a huge honor to have our community stand behind our hard work, dedication and life-changing efforts to help dogs and their humans. We wouldn't be here without you and certainly wouldn't be celebrating this award without your support.

Not only does this support our small business, it supports our community's efforts to choose kinder, safer training methods that supports dog welfare AND gets results.

Thank you to each and every follower, supporter and client for your votes!

Appreciation post!
I honestly can't thank you all enough! As fast as I schedule classes, they fill, and I am so incredibly grateful for the support you've shown me at Practical Obedience LLC - Custom Dog Training.
Level 1 and Level 2 classes are now full through September, and the October classes are already starting to fill! There are still a few spots available in the Level 3 class beginning in August, so if you've been thinking about continuing your training, now is the time to reserve your spot.
Thank you to everyone who have trusted me with your dogs, referred friends and family, and continued your training journey with me. Your support means the world, and I truly appreciate each and every one of you.

Can your adolescent dog go to "Place" and down/stay with a bunch of other adolescent dogs? If the answer is no, we can help!

It's the last day of June Teenage DaySchool and what an incredible month it's been! These dogs have truly excelled throughout the program, showing amazing growth in such a short time. The difference from Day One to today is like night and day.

Not only have they made huge stride in their training, but they've also built wonderful friendships along the way. They were all in it together and loved being able to train side by side with their buddies.

Great job to our June graduates, we can't wait to see what you accomplish next!
