Meet Bleu!

Bleu is 4 months old and has been quite the nipper, leaving many holes in his owner’s clothes. With clear guidance and consistency, he is already showing improvement after just one lesson.

Stay tuned for updates as Bleu continues learning calm and polite behavior.

Thank you, Veterans!

Rosco was adopted from the shelter and had a habit of jumping on his new owners every time they entered the room. Instead of scolding him, we focused on teaching him what to do instead!

Now, when his family comes through the gate, Rosco runs right to his bed and waits patiently. Look at how wonderful he does! No more scratched skin, and a much happier pup and family!

The heat of summer is behind us, making October an ideal month to get active with your dog! Cooler temperatures open up new possibilities for exercise and adventure. This week, let's explore fun ways to keep your dog physically and mentally stimulated as the seasons change.
• Longer Walks & Hikes: Enjoy extended strolls in parks or on trails without the worry of overheating.
• New Sports: Consider trying dog sports like agility, flyball, or canicross (running with your dog).
• Interactive Play: Engage in vigorous games of fetch or tug in your backyard or a dog park.
• Mental Challenges: Combine physical activity with mental stimulation, like scent work on a trail.
• Check Paws & Coats: Remember to check your dog's paws for debris and ensure their coat is appropriate for the weather. What's your dog's favorite way to stay fit in the fall?

Cooler fall weather often means more opportunities for off-leash play in safe, designated areas. But the freedom of off-leash fun comes with a big responsibility: a rock-solid recall! A reliable "come" command is the most important safety cue your dog can learn. This week, let's strengthen that vital skill.
• Make it a Game: Practice recall in a fun, exciting way. Use a happy tone and high-value rewards.
• Start Close, Build Distance: Begin in a small, enclosed area, gradually increasing distance and distractions.
• Never Punish Recall: If your dog eventually comes, always reward them, even if it took a while. You want them to associate coming to you with positive outcomes.
• Use a Long Line: Practice with a long training line in open, safe spaces to give your dog freedom while maintaining control.
• Practice Regularly: Consistency is key to a reliable recall. Make it a part of your daily routine. Imagine the joy of watching your dog play freely, knowing they'll always come when called! What's your best recall tip?

Post: Imagine walking through a park, and your dog spots a tempting (but potentially dangerous) fallen snack. This is where the 'leave it' command becomes your dog's lifesaver! Teaching your dog to ignore tempting items on command is crucial for their safety, especially during autumn when new outdoor hazards appear.
• Start Simple: Begin practicing with low-value items in a distraction-free environment.
• Lure & Reward: Place a treat on the floor, cover it with your hand, and say "leave it." When your dog looks away, reward them with a different, higher-value treat.
• Increase Difficulty: Gradually increase the value of the item and introduce distractions.
• Consistency is Key: Practice regularly in various environments to generalize the command.
• Never Punish: The goal is to teach your dog to make a good choice, not to fear your hand. Empower your dog with this essential skill!

While fall is beautiful, it also brings unique hazards for our curious canine companions. From toxic plants to tempting treats, being aware of these dangers can help you keep your dog safe and healthy throughout the season. Here's what to watch out for:
• Mushrooms: Many wild mushrooms are toxic. Teach a 'leave it' command and supervise closely.
• Acorns & Conkers: Can cause digestive upset or blockages if ingested.
• Antifreeze: Sweet-tasting but highly toxic. Check for leaks in driveways and garages.
• Compost Piles: Decaying food can produce tremorgenic mycotoxins, which are highly dangerous.
• Rodenticides & Pesticides: Often used more in fall. Keep all chemicals out of reach. Knowledge is power when it comes to your dog's safety!

The vibrant colors of autumn make walks with our dogs even more magical! But with more people and pets out enjoying the cooler weather, it's a great time to refresh those outdoor manners. Here's how to make your fall strolls enjoyable and safe for everyone:
• Leash Etiquette: Practice polite loose-leash walking
• Recall Practice: Strong 'come' command for safety
• Polite Greetings: Calm interactions with people and dogs
• Environmental Awareness: Watch for hazards in fallen leaves.

Let's make every fall walk a joy! What's your favorite spot for an autumn adventure with your dog?

Maintaining Good Habits: Consistency is Key!

Just like humans, dogs benefit from regular practice and reinforcement to keep their skills sharp and their behavior stellar. This week, let's talk about making good habits stick!

The Power of "Place": Teaching Your Dog to Settle
In a busy household, teaching your dog to go to their "place" (a mat, bed, or crate) and settle calmly is an invaluable skill. This command helps manage excitement, provides a safe space for your dog, and reinforces good habits during family meals, visitors, or quiet time. This week, let's master the "Place" command!
