When your Cane Corso falls asleep on the first day of class...

No offense, but we're taking that as a five-star review. 😂

One of the things Kindred Spirits teaches dogs is how to do nothing.

Which sounds ridiculous until you've lived with a dog that thinks every moment is a potential emergency, social event, squirrel sighting, or life-or-death mission.

Teaching a dog to simply exist calmly around other dogs and people is one of the most valuable life skills they can learn. And this big guy accidentally became the perfect poster child for it. 💛🐾😴Good boy, Koda😊Here's to a "do nothing" weekend😎

🚨 KINDRED SPIRITS MYSTERY ALERT 🚨

We're currently sitting at **49 Google reviews.**

That means somewhere out there is the person destined to become...

🥁🥁🥁

**REVIEW #50.**

Will it be a Puppy graduate?
Will it be a Basic student?
Will it be someone whose dog finally stopped dragging them down the street? 😂

We don't know.

But we'd love to find out.

If you've enjoyed training with us and would like to help us reach 50 reviews, we'd be incredibly grateful.

And to whoever becomes #50...

You earn absolutely no prizes whatsoever😁

Except our eternal gratitude and bragging rights. 🙏😎🐾

🎉 "Mabel, guess what?"

🐕 "What?"

🎉 "You're going to Intermediate Class!"

😁 "WAIT...THERE'S MORE SCHOOL?! AND SNACKS?! AND BRAIN GAMES?! I'M IN!"

Based on the evidence, we're pretty sure this was Mabel's exact reaction when she found out that her mom just signed her up😃.

After graduating from Basic Obedience, this bright, enthusiastic shepherd is continuing her training journey in Intermediate, where she'll build more reliability around distractions, strengthen communication with her family, and tackle new challenges as part of a team.

If excitement counts for anything, we'd say she's already off to a great start.

You can sign up too! There's still a couple of spots left at;

Can't wait to see you in class, Mabel! 💛🐾

🐾 A favor from some of our graduates...
Over the years we've had the privilege of working with some pretty wonderful dogs (and their humans). 💛We're incredibly close to reaching 50 Google reviews, and we'd love your help getting there.

If you've taken a class with us and haven't had a chance to leave a review yet, we'd be grateful if you shared your experience.

Your feedback helps other dog owners find us, and helps us continue doing what we love—helping dogs and their people build stronger relationships.
🐶 Bonus points if your dog supervises while you write it.

And just to be clear—this photo is simply one of our favorite class photos, not a secret attempt to call out anyone pictured. 😄🐾

Is your adolescent dog suddenly forgetting everything they knew last month?

Sit? Never heard of it.

Come when called? Depends.

Walk politely on leash? Let's not get carried away.

If your dog is somewhere between "sweet angel" and "tiny furry chaos goblin," you're not alone. Adolescence is a real stage, and it's often when dogs need training the most.

Our next Basic Obedience class starts soon and is designed to help you build communication, focus, and reliability while strengthening your relationship along the way.

Because growing up is hard.

Especially when squirrels exist. 🐿️🐾And you have very important feelings about treats😁

🎓🐾 Congratulations to our newest Basic Obedience Graduates, Mila and Sadie! 🐾🎓

What a joy it has been watching these two incredible dogs and their families grow over the past six weeks.

**Sadie** won hearts from day one with her sweet nature, beautiful smile, and growing confidence. Adopted by a wonderful family who clearly adore her, she's blossomed into an incredible teammate, approaching every challenge with patience and care. Her dad shared that one of her favorite things is waking him up in the morning and then curling up in his lap "like a cinnamon roll"~which may be one of the sweetest descriptions we've ever heard. 🥰

**Mila** tackled every challenge with the intelligence, enthusiasm, and determination you'd expect from a young German Shepherd. Whether she was learning new skills or conquering brain games, she gave every task her full attention. With her devoted mom by her side and a bright future in Search & Rescue ahead of her, we have no doubt this talented girl is destined for amazing things. Just look at that proud graduation stance! They make an incredible team💛

One of our favorite things about this class was seeing how differently these two approached problem-solving. Mila dove into brain games with enthusiasm and determination, while Sadie carefully worked through each puzzle step by step. Different styles, same success.

And here's a fun coincidence: while Mila is beginning her journey toward Search & Rescue work, Sadie's dad spent years involved in Search & Rescue himself. Sometimes the dog world has a funny way of connecting people and pups.

We're so proud of both teams and the dedication they've shown throughout this journey. Congratulations, Mila and Sadie—we can't wait to see what comes next! 🎉🐾

Neo looks like he just got called into a very important meeting with management. 😄🐾You know, the kind where they ask if you can just "step in the office for a moment"? "Yes mam'!"

Meanwhile, everyone else is cracking up at the conversation…except the little guy in the background, who appears to have his own agenda entirely and is currently considering a social visit across the room😂

One thing we love about group classes is how much personality starts to shine through while dogs are learning. Some dogs are laser focused, some are comedians, some are social butterflies…and somehow we help all of them learn how to work through distractions and stay connected to their humans anyway. ✨

Neo, for the record, was an excellent student here. Smart, thoughtful, sweet natured, and very invested in whatever serious life advice Kate was apparently giving him in this moment. 💛🐾

🎓🐾 Congratulations to Our Latest Basic Obedience Graduates! 🐾🎓

What a wonderful group of dogs and humans!

This class was packed with personality, heart, and so many bright moments along the way.

💙 Boshi stole hearts with his irresistible pug charm and proved himself to be quite the brain game mastermind.

💙 Dango won everyone over with those adorable out-turned paws, sweet spirit, and endless cuteness.

💙 Wylie showed us that confidence grows one step at a time. Thoughtful, incredibly smart, and becoming braver with every class.

💙 Mabel was always ready to volunteer for the role of teacher's assistant! Bright, eager, and every bit as beautiful as she is intelligent.

We often say that great dogs have great people behind them, and this class was the perfect example. Every family showed up ready to learn, practice, and build stronger relationships with their dogs—and it was such a joy to watch.

Thank you all for making Monday nights so much fun. We loved getting to know each of you and watching your progress over the past six weeks.

Please help us congratulate Boshi, Dango, Wylie, and Mabel on their graduation! 🎉🎓🐾

We can't wait to see what you accomplish next!

Special mention to Lily! While she was unable to make the official ceremony with the rest of her graduating class, she absolutely became part of our class family. Watching her settle in, gain confidence, and let her sweet personality shine over the past few weeks was such a joy. We're so proud of her and grateful to her wonderful family for being part of this amazing group. ❤️Congratulations to all! 🐾🌟🎓
