Dog 2 from our new Inter-Household aggression case. Bindi is sweet but impulsive, and we have some work to do to get her to a place where we can start working her in parallel with Annie.

Stay tuned for updates!

Welcome to Annie! We’re excited to get to know her a little better while we navigate her board and train for inter-household aggression with her housemate, Bindi.

Stay tuned as we share what we have in store for these ladies!

Thank you Katie! We are thrilled to see Barkley's continued progress at home with your family following his board and train. Great work!

I love a treat pouch that is easy to access, doesn’t spill your treats, and is at least somewhat washable. A ziplock baggie is NOT that treat pouch.

A well-exercised dog is a well-behaved dog.

Not because they’re tired.
Because they’re fulfilled.
Because autonomy and freedom to move are powerful medicine.
Because when your dog gets space to be a dog…
Everything gets better.

Obedience isn’t a collection of skills.
It’s a communication system the dog understands.

Train the system. Not the skill.

This is just one of many behaviors that we don’t just ignore. Many behaviors are self reinforcing and whether you intend to or not, the behavior is getting reinforced if it keeps persisting…

Instead, we teach the dog a communication system that includes yes and no. Clarity beats frustration!

Public dog parks are chaos masquerading as socialization. If you want safety, freedom, real enrichment, and space to actually walk your dog, book a private park and leave the chaos (and the 💩) behind.
