🎉 Welcome to the Muttessori madness — where the curriculum is real, the puppies are realer, and the welcome posts are occasionally late!🎉
🐾 Tonka (5 months, Mastiff mix) has arrived with what we lovingly call the Mastiff Scaries. Big body, big feelings, and a cautious approach to the world that says “I’d like confidence, but gently please.” We’re working on handling tolerance, building trust, and helping him discover that new experiences don’t need to be wrestled first.
🐾 Copper (1 year, Terrier mix) is continuing his journey with us, leaning into confidence building at his own pace. He’s quite under confident right now, so the focus is slow wins, safe choices, and helping him realize the world isn’t as loud or unpredictable as it feels from his side of the leash.
🐾🐾 Lija & Willow (4 months, Basset Hound littermates) entered the program like a matched set of floppy ears and questionable decision making. Their current studies include puppy socialization, bite inhibition, impulse control, and learning how to use those long noses for something other than snack detection and mild chaos.
If you’ve the boys in recent training clips, yes, they’ve already been busy. Learning doesn’t wait for introductions around here.
Welcome to the TopDogs Muttessori crew, little legends in progress 🐶✨
