New Beginner students.

Graduation day for this awesome Beginner class.

03/26/2025

It's been a busy few weeks, with new classes starting and planning for the spring/summer classes.

Honey had a consultation and got her set up to work on some skills at home.

Midknight came for his first puppy lesson, and I didn't try to put him in my pocket, haha. Look at that face.

Abby also had her first lesson. She was very excited to learn. Her parents are getting her set up to be the best dog she can be.

Matisse has been a nail trim client for about six years, I believe. He's looking like an old man latley, and it hurts my soul.

Vali has come so far with all his training, and it's been a hot minute since I've seen him. His mom reached out for some help with hypervigilance while on walks.

Scotch had his first puppy lesson. He's a bit of a shy guy, but I think with some training and confidence building, he will come out of his shell.

Buddy is in to help build on his recalls and leash manners. He's a pretty smart boy, but his pawrent wants to make sure he's doing all the right things for Buddy.

Dog body language is always so interesting.

Oakley and Phoebe were the first to arrive for day training, phoebe can be a little shy, but Oakley was convinced he would get her to be his friend.

He does the play bow, the low creeps, the abrupt run away to encourage her to chase him. Dogs really know how to communicate super well if you pay close enough attention and, of course, know enough about body language.

Meet Lenny the daschund.
His family reached out awhile back to set up some appts as they had recently adopted him. He needed to build some confidence and work on some other basic skills.

He has still struggled when visitors leave, he will nip, jump and bark at them.

I popped over for a follow up and set his parents up with some things to try when a visitor leaves.
His mom had a visitors over recently and said it went exceptionally well. So proud of them.

Meet Oscar the fluffy guy.
This handsome guy had a lesson several weeks ago, and he was struggling with people and was a little nervous/shy. He ahd a follow up appt last week and his mom couldn't wait to tell me how different he's been. He's building confidence with the humans in the home and outside, he wasn't as shy with me this spot, and happily played with a toy and attempted to also play with me a few times.

This warms my heart so very much. Doing the homework given can help so very much.

Let's talk about dogs and kids....

I often work with families, and generally see interactions that should be avoided. It can be harder for younger kids to understand, which is why it is so important as a parent or guardian to keep your dog and child safe if you are unable to watch them.

A few days ago while driving I saw a kid walking a fairly large dog, and as the dog stopped to sniff the ground and maybe potty, the kid was kicking snow at the dog. I don't know them personally, so I for one can't say if its a regular thing they do or not, but from an outside perspective it didn't appear to be very respectful. Teach children how to interact with dogs, and how to respect them.

Set ground rules about how the dog should be treated and reward your kids for following these rules.

Here are some rules to consider:

Never disturb dogs while they’re in their crates.

Don’t bother dogs when they’re eating or sleeping.

Never pull dogs’ ears, tails, or other body parts.

Don’t hug dogs.

Don’t tease dogs.

Never bother a dog while they’re chewing a bone or chew toy.

This is a great article to read.

Many dogs are apprehensive around kids, so it's important to train your dog how to behave around children while building plenty of positive associations.
