Double Down Dog Training

Please share!! Kelly is a a sweet GSD (65%) and a few other breeds to keepp it lively. Kelly is looking for her forever home here in the PNW (preferably).
Kelly needs someone looking for their ride or die or a couple that is willing to invest some time getting to know her and learning how to get the best of her.
Kelly has lived the majority of her life in a shelter and in foster homes and even though I think she is pretty darn cool, I am hoping to find her, her forever family that can give her all the things she deserves. Kelly enjoys playing tug, fetch, swimming, jogging and would be a great hiking buddy for the right individual.
Kelly also enjoys her afternoon trip to the coffee stand to get her cookie 🍪
I know there is an overwhelming amount of dogs (especially shepherds and shepherd mixes) looking for homes at this time but Kelly should be at the top of your list!
If you are Interested in giving this sweet girl her forever home or think you may know someone that could, please reach out, share this post or apply at www.doggoneseattle.org for Kellys’s sake!

This collaboration is called West End We**ie 🐾 🐶
Little dogs need training THE MOST!
Don’t sleep on that, we get little dogs to make it easier to travel and move them around with us and if they bark at everything that moves, or bites the hand that feeds them, it defeats the purpose!

Miss Agnes enjoying this summer day out minding her manners and learning all the things that will help to make her owner get the very best of her!
Agnes struggles with reactivity towards pretty much everything that moves and we are already seeing a huge improvement in her behavior. I can’t wait to get them both back together so they can experience all the sunny days ahead without all that barking and lunging.

Welcome Sadie 🥰
Sadie is here for training, she is a fearful 7 month old young lady and will need some help gaining the confidence needed to navigate this crazy world of ours. Sadie will also be looking for a new home and someone to pass the training torch to. If you are in the market for a pup and have the patience and grace to continue helping her become the best dog she can be, please reach out for details. Her original training has been paid for by her current owner, who is 80 years old and took her in hoping to save her from the shelter but has had difficulty rehoming her due to her fear of new people. Better pictures to come once she settles in :)
Please share Sadie!! ❤️

Miss Penny arrived for the first portion of her puppy package board and train.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate owners that see training support starting at puppyhood as an essential and not a luxury or last resort. I hope more owners can start to see investing in board and train with the right trainer will help to prevent behavior issues from getting out of control instead of waiting until they ARE out of control.
Dog training is a way of life and having a professional on board to reach out to and seek advice from instead of sifting through the loads of conflicting advice online and trying the do it yourself approach can save you and your dog loads of stress, misunderstandings and money when your initial investment is joining a family of other dog owners that take their dog training goals seriously. Don’t worry there are still going to be plenty of things for you to learn and teach your dog in between boarding and beyond, training is a way of life not a phase. People need support more than ever with their dogs and I am here to help!

Having your dog practice down stay (or anywhere really if your dog is semi-comfortable) in the crate can promote
-relaxation and self regulation (both in and out do the crate
-prevent general impulsivity and frantic mindsets
-help your dog see you as someone that is capable of upholding fair rules in and around the home to keep them safe and secure
-maintain positive associations when separated from you
-if done correctly, the dog will choose to stay in the crate at times on thier own.
*similarly the place cot can also provide this but stay behaviors in a variety of contexts helps the dog generalize what we are aiming to teach them
(Calmness gets them what they want)
