Today we met Chessie, a sweet Bernese Mountain Dog, who was rescued from a raided puppy mill. Happily, she now has a wonderful home! We provided guidance to her person on how to support her as she adjusts to her new environment.

A little bit about Puppy Mills:

Puppy mills are dog breeding operations where producing puppies for profit takes priority over the dog’s health, welfare and quality of life. Conditions are deplorable and dogs’ physical and emotional needs are severely neglected. It is hard to fathom how a human can be so cruel!

Through our work as dog trainers and rescue volunteers, we see and work with puppy mill dogs - and also have our own puppy mill dogs so we understand firsthand what it takes to help these special dogs.

Their life in a cage, with little human interaction, freedom or opportunity to experience the world, leads to under socialized, fearful dogs. Their fears can vary - everyday experiences can feel overwhelming. Hearing household noises, meeting strangers, or a hand reaching toward them can be frightening. Some hide, freeze or shutdown.

Puppy mill dogs need:
- patience and time.
- a safe environment and consistent routine.
- allowed to make their own choices.
- positive reinforcement to build confidence.
- gradual, gentle exposure without forcing interactions.
- earned trust that isn’t forced.

Every dog is different in what they fear and how slowly or quickly they progress.

With time, understanding and force free training, we can help these dog discover a whole new life. The rewards of helping and watching a puppy mill progress are endless!

Do you have a fearful, shy, puppy mill dog? We would love to help!

Sibling dogs - the ultimate "love hate" relationship! Just like human siblings they can be best friends one minute and then suddenly a little squabble erupts. This type of relationship is common with sibling dogs. Remy and Gus are 2 year old male Boston Terrier siblings who recently started sharing the same home. Although these two enjoy each other's company, their different personalities and now mature age has contributed to creating challenges for both dogs. Remy since the arrival of Gus and his person, demonstrates defensive behavioral changes and feels threatened by sharing his resources including his people, his territory and chew sticks. Gus is experiencing a new environment and is adjusting. It is important to address each dog's feelings and respect the order of primacy that has been established. Our goal is to have each dog succeed - together and as individuals. Through training, management and respect for each dog, we will help turn the sibling "love - hate" relationship into a healthier, more harmonious one.

Let them observe. Let them process. Let them check in.

When your dog encounters an unfamiliar sight or sound, give them time to observe, process and figure it out before getting involved. Then wait for them to check in. with you. The moment of connection is an important part of communication.

When you allow your dog to process and reinforce their voluntary check-in, it builds confidence, trust and communication. This is especially true for cautious, easily overwhelmed dogs.

Rather than telling your dog what to do, teach them they can observe, process and connect with you. It can make all the difference!

It’s not always easy introducing a new puppy to an older dog. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it isn’t the best fit and the dogs might not be compatible. We gave it our all and so did this wonderful family! The end result - happy pups and a happy family!

Want to help your dog build confidence? Let them use their nose! Nose work stations give dogs the opportunity to search, explore, problem solve and make independent choices. It’s especially beneficial for cautious or easily overwhelmed dogs, giving them a fun, low-pressure way to build confidence at their own pace. It teaches them “I can do this”! With every successful search, confidence grows. 👍

The excitement builds as the pups anticipate the trainer’s arrival. They are learning emotional self-control and know a good sit and calm behavior earns the reward! With patience and consistent training, they make good choices and respond appropriately, even when they are excited, distracted or tempted. Impulse control is an important foundation skill that builds better manners, focus, self-control and confidence. Nice progress - Love these two!
