Turning Point Dog Training

Training that is tailored to fit you and your dog's needs.

We had a unique group of dogs participate in our board and train programs in April.

Pazu and Prompto are two year old Corgi siblings that were starting to exhibit signs of littermate syndrome. Prompto acted more as the aggressor of the pair, while Pazu seemed to hide out in Prompto’s shadow. We have to give their parents a ton of credit because it’s not easy learning one training program, let alone two at the same time.

George is another interesting board and train, as we split his four week board and train into two parts. George came in April at 5 months old to begin his puppy basics and confidence building. Once George was a little more mature, he returned to us around 10 months to layer the ecollar over his existing knowledge and work towards off leash freedom. George’s parents did their research and made sure to set him up with constant support and success throughout his
adolescence.

Happy Monday for our July Client Spotlight, Scout!

Scout is a 7.5 month old ACD, Pyrenees, Sheepdog mix who lives in Cleveland with his parents, Tori and Gaby. His parents said their favorite thing about Scout is his balance of sweet cuddly teddy bear, to absolute maniac. He keeps them on our toes, makes them laugh, and always ends the day with snuggles.

Gaby and Tori originally reached out for training to address Scout’s manners and energy level with his senior sister Nora including appropriate play, limit and manage resource guarding between both dogs, continue good leash walking skills and communication, and overall just have a better relationship with Scout so he can grow into a great adult dog.

Gaby said the most important thing she has learned through the training process is to be confident. “It’s so important to build confidence within your dog, especially a high energy pup like Scout, but it’s also important to build confidence as a handler. When we first started working with Jess we were anxious and walking on eggshells, worried about every kernel of food dropped or toy left out turning into a huge resource issue. She taught us how to relax and how to be in control, and our confidence has translated to both Scout and Nora. We also learned to understand and set realistic expectations for Scout. It’s okay if some days aren’t as productive with training - it’s a marathon and more important to build good habits over time.”

“Turning Point really was a turning point for us - we were panicky, distraught, and discouraged when we first started and Jess’ guidance has been invaluable. We want to continue working with Scout and Nora and want to keep TPDT in our lives as Scout becomes an adult and we explore the world with him. Thank you thank you thank you!”

Not our usual content, but important nonetheless.

Do you have an evacuation plan set in place for your pets in the event of a fire? It can be scary to consider the possibility of a fire in your home but it’s better to be prepared.

A big thanks to Maverick’s parents for helping us put this post together!

Meet Oswald and his parents, Sam and Eric, who are July’s client spotlight

Oswald is a 1 year old French Bulldog who recently wrapped up training with Paige to address mouthiness, leash walking, crate training, separation anxiety, housebreaking, and basics. This goofy guy can often be found at our structure daycare, trying to cook himself in the sun on his new patio, or lurking in the background of his mom’s work from home calls. Sam and Eric said their favorite thing about Oswald is his personality. He is happy to be on the go or chill out at home and watch tv.

Sam and Eric’s main concern before training was addressing Oswald’s separation anxiety. Prior to training they simply could not leave the house without Oswald losing his mind. Oswald’s mom works from home so it usually wasn’t that big of a deal, but it soon started to feel like she was a prisoner in her own home. We are happy to report that Oswald recently did 2 hours home alone with minimal whining and no accidents!

Normally our client spotlights are all about the dog, but we want to take a moment to point out what great dog parents Sam and Eric are to Oswald. At their assessment we discovered he was having constant GI issues which could be leading to some behavioral issues. They instantly reached out to to schedule a consultation and now spend at least an hour a week crafting a special diet for Oswald. They keep in mind his special diet, have made adjustments to their routine to work through his separation anxiety, and were extremely mindful of Oswald’s transition when buying their new home. Oswald truly hit the jackpot!

“We just want to shout out the amazing team at Turning Point for giving Oswald a safe place to train and have daycare!”

Meet our February Board and Trains: Maverick, Archie, Buzz, and Sully

A fun fact about this crew is that Maverick was able to participate in one of Archie’s follow up sessions. It was great practice for Maverick who was still working on his neutrality, and a great test for Archie’s parents to handle him around another dog.

Who was your February favorite?

Meet our April Client Spotlight, Pepper 🌶️

Pepper is a 4 year old German Shepherd who lives in Cleveland with her dads, Peter and Vince. She is a Pisces and recently celebrated her fourth birthday in her new house! Pepper came to us in summer 2024 to address some separation anxiety, resource guarding, and overall confidence building. After months of putting in the work, Pepper has become a sweet, sociable, good girl who loves to spend her mornings cuddling on the couch. Peter and Vince said their favorite thing about Pepper is how expressive she can be, along with how loyal she is to them.

Before Pepper was adopted she was used in a puppy mill, meaning she lacked any proper
socialization. This led to Pepper being timid, anxious, and mistrusting of most people. In fact,
Pepper took a good deal of time to acclimate to Peter and learn that she could also trust him. By
working on Pepper’s confidence and building Peter and Vince’s confidence as handlers, Pepper has grown into a super sweet and loving dog who now greets strangers with a tail wag and is ready to receive pets.

Peter and Vince continue to work on place to help with any anxiety, door drills, and recall.
Pepper is a smart girl and also just learned paw! The most valuable thing they learned during
training is how far consistency can take you. Pepper just celebrated a year with Peter and Vince and she is a completely different dog in the best way.

“Paige and Turning Point were an absolute pleasure to work with and helped us to instill
confidence in ourselves which allowed Pepper to be the confident dog we knew she could be - and now is!”
