If your puppy is biting everything right now, first of all… welcome to puppyhood. 😅

Puppy biting is one of the most common struggles we see, and while it can be frustrating (and painful), it’s usually completely normal.
Most puppies bite more when they’re: 🐾 Overtired 🐾 Overstimulated 🐾 Teething 🐾 Excited and struggling with impulse control

In other words, your puppy usually isn’t being “bad.” They’re having a hard time regulating themselves.
That doesn’t make the shark teeth any more fun, but understanding why it’s happening can help you respond more effectively.

The good news? Puppies grow, learn, and improve, especially with the right structure and support. Let us help you in Great Start Puppy class! It’s open enrollment which means you can start right away and schedule flexibly. Tuesdays at 5pm or 6pm and/or Saturdays 9am or 10am.

We love scent work because it gives dogs a chance to do what they were born to do: use their nose. 👃🐾

There’s something really special about watching a dog work independently, problem solve, and light up when they find the source of odor.

We also love scent work because it’s so accessible. You don’t need a fast dog, a highly obedient dog, or a future competition dog to enjoy it. Scent work can be a fantastic outlet for busy dogs, shy dogs, senior dogs, and even dogs who struggle in more traditional group classes.

It builds confidence, provides incredible mental enrichment, and strengthens the bond between dog and handler, all while feeling like a game.

And the best part? Most dogs absolutely love it.

Our next Intro to Scent Work class starts Monday at 10am!

When most people think about puppy training, they think about sit, down, and maybe stay. But some of the most important puppy skills are the ones people overlook.

Things like learning to be comfortable alone. Feeling safe during grooming and handling. Walking confidently on new surfaces. Recovering from something scary. Learning how to settle instead of constantly staying “on.”

These skills may not look flashy, but they have a huge impact on your puppy’s ability to move through the world with confidence.

In our Great Start Puppy class, we focus on more than obedience. We help puppies build the life skills that make everyday living easier for both ends of the leash. DM us for more info.

If your puppy is having accidents, biting everything in sight, turning into a tiny tornado at night, or acting like they’ve never heard their name the second you step outside… you’re in very good company. 😅

We talk to so many puppy owners who worry they’re doing something wrong, when in reality, most of these behaviors are a completely normal part of puppyhood.

Puppies aren’t born knowing how to settle, focus, communicate politely, or live in a human world. Those are all skills we have to teach.

That doesn’t mean puppyhood is easy, though. It can be exhausting, frustrating, and overwhelming. That’s why support matters!

Our Great Start Puppy class helps you work through the chaos while building the foundation skills that matter most, so you can feel more confident and your puppy can too. All while being surrounded by people going through the same things as you!

Classes are Tuesdays 5pm or 6pm and/or Saturdays 9:30am or 10:30am. Comment PUPPY for the link to sign up.

When you bring home a new puppy, it’s easy to feel like you need to teach everything right away.

Sit. Down. Stay. Leave it. Heel. Don’t bite. Don’t chew that. Potty outside. Sleep through the night. 😅

But the truth is, not everything needs to happen at once.
In those early weeks, we care most about the skills that make everyday life easier and help your puppy grow into a confident, adaptable dog: coming when called, feeling comfortable with handling and grooming, settling in a crate, and building confidence around the world.

The flashy stuff can come later.
Start with the foundations, and everything else gets easier.
That’s exactly what we focus on in Great Start Puppy. 🐾

Classes are open enrollment Tuesdays and/or Saturdays! DM us for more info.

What a great CGCU workshop this weekend! Congrats to Team Stella & Team Dante for earning their Canine Good Citizen - Urban 🙌🏻.

What if your dog could truly relax?

Not because they're exhausted. Not because you've spent hours exercising them. But because they've learned the skills to settle, cope, and feel comfortable in the world around them.

For many dogs, calm doesn't come naturally. They're constantly scanning, pacing, pulling, reacting, or looking for the next thing. They're not trying to give you a hard time. They're just having a hard time.

That's exactly what Chill Out Hybrid was designed for.

Through a combination of private sessions and small group classes, we'll help your dog build the skills needed to think more clearly, handle excitement more effectively, and choose calm behaviors more often.

🐾 Only 1 spot remains.
📆 Class starts Sun June 21st and private sessions will be scheduled before then.

If you’ve ever stood around waiting while your dog carefully investigated every blade of grass, scent work might be their dream sport.

Unlike many dog sports, scent work taps into something dogs already love to do: use their nose. We simply teach them how to search for a specific odor and let them do what they do best.
It’s fun, mentally enriching, confidence-building, and suitable for just about any dog. You don’t need a fast dog, a perfectly trained dog, or a future competition dog. You just need a dog who loves to sniff.
And let’s be honest... that’s most dogs…

Intro to Scent Work starts Mon June 22nd at 10am. DM us to sign up!

A lot of dogs reach a point where they know the skills... but they’re not quite reliable yet.

They can walk nicely on leash, but distractions still matter. They know their cues, but you find yourself reaching for treats when things get challenging. You’ve made great progress, but you’re ready for the next step.

That’s where Canine Good Citizen comes in.
CGC is designed to help teams build consistency, reliability, and confidence around real-world distractions while gradually reducing the need for food rewards. It’s a great next class for dogs who have completed Teenage Tyrants, Real Life Manners, or another foundation class and are ready to strengthen those skills.

Only 4 spots left! Starts THIS Sunday at 3pm. Comment CGC for the link to sign up.

One of the biggest questions we hear after Teenage Tyrants and Real Life Manners is:
“But what happens when I don’t have treats?”

The goal of training was never to always have food on hand. The goal is to build skills, understanding, and a reinforcement history strong enough that your dog can respond even when they don’t think food is coming.

That’s one of the reasons we love Canine Good Citizen.
CGC takes those foundation skills you’ve already been working on and helps build reliability around distractions while gradually reducing your dependence on food rewards.

If your dog has completed a manners class and you’re wondering what comes next, this is it.
Only 4 spots remain.

Starts THIS Sunday 6/14 at 3:00pm. DM us to sign up.
