Fun Fact Wednesday!🐾

06/02/2026

4 dogs, each on their own level!

Donut already finished her 2 week foundation program and is now working on perfecting everything. This week she's starting public manners!
Luna is at the end of her 2 week board&train program and made a lot of progress in a short period of time.

Mr Chocolate and Rooster both just started. While they both may not look perfect, they mastered their first obedience skills within 15 minutes! Both did sit and down and started walking better on the leash. Rooster has to learn to contain his excitement and how to show the behaviors we want instead of jumping, Mr Chocolate also needs a little bit more focus. They'll both get there!🐾

Dog of the month: Donut!

Donut is our June dog of the month. She's a 5 year old Australian Shepherd, that shows the true Australian Shepherd behaviors and personality. She's fun to be around at, loves training and is always excited. She also has the strong will of an Aussie. If she wants something, she does everything she can to get it.

Donut finished her foundation with us last month, and is now here to perfect her skills and work on public manners. She's doing great so far, but she's never done learning and can only get better!🐾

Congratulations, Inu!🥳

The fluffy cloud finished his full obedience program with us, and is now ready to go home again. We worked hard on his offleash manners, ignoring distractions and his recall.

We also worked on center, walking in between the legs and public manners. As a social butterfly, it's hard when people keep talking to him in stores. But he did great!

He was so much fun to work with!
We hope to see him again soon for boarding.🐾

Tip of the week: Your dog is never done learning.

Many people think training ends once their dog learns "sit," "down," or "stay." The truth is, dogs continue learning throughout their entire lives! Every walk, interaction, and experience teaches your dog something. Every step outside can feel like a whole new journey. That's why it's important to continue practicing training, reinforcing good behaviors, and introducing new challenges. It doesn't matter how old your dog is, and what you want them to learn next!

Older dogs can learn new tricks. You can challenge them by adding something new to it. Maybe you want to do trickdog with the AKC or Do More With Your dog? Or one of the FitDog courses to keep their muscles good. Young dogs need ongoing guidance to navigate through the world and learn new skills to cope with our busy lives. Even highly trained dogs benefit from regular practice to keep their skills sharp. A well-trained dog isn't a finished project. It's a lifelong journey between you and your best friend.

Think of training like going to the gym. If you stop exercising, your muscles become weaker. The same is true for your dog's obedience and manners. Regular training sessions, even just 5 to 10 minutes a day, can make a huge difference. And it makes everyone's life more enjoyable. As long as you keep training fun and reward good choices, your dog will stay engaged with you. Make learning a part of everyday life to keep a routine going.

Day recap!

Luna did great with her training! Even though she kept an eye on everything around her, she had a lot of focus. She did a nice heel, down at a distance and had a good recall. Inu did an amazing stay, out of sight. He also did some fun other tricks to switch it up a little! One more day and then he's done!

Donut started her 4 week program today! She definitely didn't forget what she learned last time she was here! Now we're going to work on distractions and public manners!🐾

Luna update!

Luna is making her money worth. Head strong, high energy and finding new ways to test you every moment of the day. But she's also doing good at the same time. After focus training, we can start on commands. She's getting used to different types of leashes and collars, to make sure the transition back home will go smoothly. So far we've been working with a flat collar with leash, slip lead and an introduction to a prong collar without corrections. It doesn't matter what you're using, it doesn't phase her at all!

She still has some days to go in board&train, and at home her training continues with our help to make sure she won't fall in bad behaviors.🐾
