👉 Let this be your reminder: Don't rush the advanced stuff. Confidence comes from clarity, and clarity comes from the basics.

Bettsy wasn't fetch-ready at first as she was just a young puppy still learning her name. But with patience, consistent practice, and a strong foundation in the basics, things clicked. Now? Fetch is fun because she understands what's being asked of her!

Here are 4 biggest reasons it makes a difference to train in-person at McCann Dogs:

⏰ Real-time feedback from expert trainers
You get immediate guidance and corrections, which helps prevent bad habits and speeds up progress.

🐾 Working around distractions in a controlled setting
Your dog learns to focus around other dogs and people in a safe, structured environment; great for confidence and impulse control.

🙌 Hands-on learning and demonstrations
Trainers can physically show you techniques and troubleshoot on the spot, making it easier to learn and apply skills.

📆 Consistency and accountability
Held in a spacious facility, regular classes help you stay on track with training goals and create a routine both you and your dog can stick to.

Struggling with getting your dog to drop or let go of something? Instructor Kayl shows you how to effectively teach your dog to "drop it" using the trade method. It helps prevent guarding, builds trust, and makes life easier, whether you're playing fetch or handling a real-life emergency.

🎾 What's the one thing your dog refuses to return or drop?

Always end on a win. Finishing with a success - no matter how small - keeps your dog excited to train and builds positive momentum for next time. Make the last thing they do something they can feel great about! 🙌 🐾

What skill have you ended on a win that made a big difference in your next session?
Share it in the comments. We’d love to hear it, and it might just help someone else, too! 💙

One of our recent Life Skills grads, Freyja, sent us the nicest note. It reads:
Dad and I have been working really hard for the last 8 weeks and last night proved I know when to behave. I received an excellent in everything except for one....and it wasn’t my fault....the other dog kept whispering, "come on over" so I tried. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Many thanks to the great folks at McCann Dog Trainers. Of course, Mom was in the peanut gallery every week and my pink flowers were all the dress-up (except for my great summer hair cut) dad could stomach for my graduation. Next level starts in August. Poor Dad, he’ll be the one working with me again! ~ Freyja

It's Feel Good Friday!
It feels good to be confident and confidence is built one small win at a time - like this dog bravely inching toward the water 💦 The goal may be the destination but it’s the journey that matters most. Each small step forward builds trust, confidence, and connection, and that’s what truly helps a dog reach their goal.

What small win made you proud of your dog this week? Share it in the comments; we'd love to celebrate you both! 🎉
