Your quintessential puppy, Oaklee had all of the puppy habbits: mouthing, jumping, pulling, being pushy, you name it. Good thing she's so darn cute and loving! Oaklee and her owners completed our 8-week program where she showed that she was up to the challenge of learning to listen, respect boundaries, and be an all-around wonderful companion for years to come!

You wouldn't believe it by looking at him, but Tate had the tendency to be very unhappy whenever his owners weren't giving him constant attention. While their love for him was undeniable, they were eager for Tate to learn to be better at hanging out by himself and to give up his hissy fits when things weren't going his way. Despite his owners doing the right things at an early age in the way of socialization, Tate was naturally just a bit of a nervous boy, so that displayed itself in his difficulty being separated from his owners and knowing how to settle himself. Forming boundaries, enforcing commands, and helping Tate learn to self-settle were the big (and very successful!) goals of his training. Towards the end of his lessons he also welcomed a new puppy sister, so he had to know the house rules so he could show her the ropes!

At a little over four months old, this dapper fellow started his on-leash program so that his owner could ensure the formation of good habits, boundaries, and manners in her fluffy companion at an early age. Ollie's owner had already been diligent about crate training, bonding, socialization, and so on. Ollie quickly learned his leash boundary and no pulling, was improving in his puppy mouthiness, and was becoming an expert at placing on his bed. It's never too soon to start learning!

Sweet Apollo's small frame contained ALL of the energy. His owner described him as hyperactive when out of the home and he had all of the classic puppy "bad" manners. One of the biggest tasks for Apollo was finding a way to successfully communicate to him to calm down when he got into the bouncing kangaroo spiral (meeting people, seeing new things, etc.) and to help him learn how to settle himself too. Apollo completed his on- and off-leash training with full marks. He was still just as lovable and excited for new people, but his owner had learned how to communicate boundaries to him and he had learned how to enter those situations much more calmly.

Dixie and her owners came to Golden Standard with the goal of having a well-behaved, well-mannered companion. Due to some natural predispositions with this breed to be protective and think they rule the home, her owners wanted to enforce clear boundaries and to socialize her well so that she would grow up to be a well-adjusted and well-mannered girl. Dixie flew through her obedience training, listening and responding well to her people, and through diligence on the part of her owners to safely expose and socialize her, demonstrated good confidence in new situations and good-naturedness towards new people.

We hope this finds all of you safe and sound this morning. A common question I want to address: Should you crate train your dog?

Unless you were utterly knocked out cold last night, you probably have heard there were storms in the area. Our neighbor opened up their home for shelter and four families hunkered down. Most of us had dogs to add to the mix. If not for crate training this situation would not have worked. One dog is not dog friendly. Another gets stressed easily around lots of people. We also had 5-6 cats (I lost count) in the mix. Everyone is safe and happy this morning—from the storm and each other! We are so grateful to our awesome neighbors for giving us a spot to ride out the storms and to everyone who joined us for taking the time to crate train!

Tommy is 10/10 on the cuteness scale but some of his puppy antics like playing rough with his teeth and jumping for what he wants was really taking a toll on his owners. We worked through a basic obedience skill program to help lay a foundation for communication with Tommy then followed up later with some Ecollar training to gain more consistency in his responses. We are happy to have helped Tommy and his family navigate through the variety of puppy stages and set them up for a long happy life together!

Isla gives everything 100% in life. We love that about her but wanted Isla to learn it’s ok and preferable to give 75%, 50%, and even 25% at times! Knowing how to live in moderation has helped Isla’s ability to focus and as a result listen and retain what her owners tell her. She’s still a bundle of puppy energy but with more self control and awareness!

Timber is spunky and very loving. She loves the good life with plenty of space to run at home, visits to daycare, and a house full of people and dogs to love on at home. Unfortunately Timber just hadn’t built an ability to settle on her own. She always had to be doing something and would find things that weren’t always desirable to keep herself busy. In her time staying with us we made settling a priority. We still had plenty of time to run and play but we were intentional about taking time during the day to relax in a down or hangout in place. As Timber found her stop button she also gained the ability to express her love with moderation instead of full force. A huge development as this allows her to cuddle on the couch with the littlest human rather than smother him!

Carmi and his owner had a lot of obstacles to overcome. At 2 years old Carmi had spent an unknown period of time running as a stray then was bounced back and forth between adopters and the shelter life before landing in his current home. He has a high prey drive for small furry animals and any type of fast movement. Before starting training Carmi had taken his owner down to the ground on walks when one of these things caught his attention and had also become so overstimulated by traffic he turned around and started fighting his owner to be let loose. Carmi’s owner was also facing the challenge of being a first time dog owner and learning how to navigate this new role. Things had progressed to a point where the humans in the house were drastically altering their routines to accommodate life with Carmi.
In our lessons we focused on building accountability for choices and an ability to regulate through excitement with the use of obedience skills. It is still an active choice for Carmi to ignore the cars passing in the video but with continued work it should soon become second nature. Life for Carmi and his people is becoming much more relaxed and enjoyable.

Dalton & Maizie started lessons after multiple fights erupted between the two. Dalton is usually a laid-back dog, but gets anxious when things are out of routine for him. Maizie tends to be high strung and as she matured became more demanding to get what she wanted. These differences slowly built up tension between the two dogs, and once one fight happened it became easy for other fights to break out over seemingly small things. Having both dogs enrolled in lessons allowed boundaries and skills to be instilled, as well as working through their issues in a neutral environment. With a lot of hard work by the dogs and the humans in the house we were able to gain a level of respect between the dogs that allowed for safe and calm interaction. In the photo we are using muzzles to help keep everyone safe as we tested to see if the dogs could be together again in a casual setting without fighting. With continued work and taking small steps over extended time we have a solid plan to continue repairing their relationship.

This dynamic duo of old curmudgeon stubbornness and young dog energy had their owner asking for some help! At 11-years-old, Buddy had been with his owner for over half of his life and had gotten used to a certain way of things. Then this high-strung bundle of energy, Enzo, came home and it brought out some new difficulties in Buddy. Despite the fact that he could have doubled as the Energizer Bunny, Enzo was very eager to please and learned quickly throughout the lesson. We worked very slowly with Buddy, the goal being to accomplish only a few main skills that his owner wanted from him: To respond better to guests coming over and to have outdoor recall so that he would stop running away or barking at the mailman. Buddy accomplished these goals, but also went even further and tackled many of the others skills that Enzo was working on. A+ work to these two good boys!
