What a difference a day makes! Ok, we don’t usually post first day videos - but Darla here is really showing the importance of communication when it comes to creating new behaviors. Darla is a door-darter, a threshold-dasher, a pint sized Pittie pocket rocket with one speed: high, and one direction: forward. For Darla, even day one, our first goal has been creating communication and slowing her brain down enough so that her body can listen. This is far from the finished product, but it really illustrates the importance of creating a relationship between handler and dog before much of the hard work begins, and while obedience commands are useful - they are often secondary to creating behavioral change. We certainly have high hopes for this little girl ❤️💙

Oh Violet, how far you’ve come. You wouldn’t know it to look at her now, but Violet used to be under some pretty extreme management because her out of control overexcitement kept landing her in big trouble. Anyone who knows us knows we work with some extreme behaviors, the worst of the worst, but what some people don’t realize is that even a sweet and friendly dog can completely upend their owner’s lives with inappropriate explosive behaviors, even if their intentions are good. Now Violets actions match her intentions which will help insure that her future is as bright as she is ❤️ 💙

🎶 When you don’t even try that hot fresh pizza pie, that’s great training! 🎶 🍕🐶
Violet was something of a notorious pizza thief, yes it’s true, wanted in six counties for grand theft mozzarella - well, ok that might be a stretch, but she definitely made it hard for her family to enjoy their meals and trusting her not to take part in their take out was out of the question, but look at her now! Not only does she mind her manners when the human is enjoying their meal, but also when they step out. Great work Violet!

Sally is a young lady with lots of personality, but that had sometimes made it hard for her to control her impulses around other dogs and sources of excitement - but she’s doing great learning her manners and skills in real life situations. As Sally comes from a home with a more diverse canine family, she also needed practice in situations where she has a different set of expectations compared to the other dogs, but this little girl knows her stuff and how to show off those skills even when she’s the only one. Nicely done, Sally!

O the weather outside is frightful - so you know what that means, it’s time for a Red Dog Blue Dog montage! 🎺🎺🎵 Lookin’ good, Fenway! With so many surprise dogs, you really knocked this out of the park ⚾️
What a difference a day makes! Only yesterday Suzy wasn’t able to hold her position when her handler was just a couple feet away, but look at her now! Suzy is an excellent reminder that learning isn’t always linear - and sometimes you just need a little extra time for something to click. Great work, Suzy!
Being calm while other dogs are having fun without you certainly isn’t easy, and for a dog like Fenway who has a hard time with chaos - it’s even more important. Reactivity has many origins, and Fenway struggled with both excitement-based and reactivity rooted in uncertainty, creating a high degree of both internal and external chaos. He’s doing a great job learning to find his zen and build his inner sense of calm. Great work, Fenway!
After an incident at doggy daycare left Fenway unsure and reactive, it was time for a change! He’s only been with us for a few short days, but he’s doing a great job keeping his composure around another dog and letting his happy personality sloth shine through. ❤️ 💙
No way around it, between the scream-barking and charging visitors, Zola was a terrible host. But look at her now! This little girls manners are ready for holiday guests and she’s bringing the best gift of all - herself ☺️. We’re proud of you, girlie!
For a lot of reactive dogs, Halloween is a total nightmare, but it doesn’t have to be. Buddy is a little dog with big feelings that sometimes get the better of him, from start to finish in this video you will watch him transition from mild productive stress to calm relaxation. Why react when you can relax? That’s our philosophy! Curious about stress and understanding the stress process in your dog? What IS productive stress, anyway? Keep and eye out for our next Have the Dog You Deserve podcast where we discuss stress in all its forms and how to be proactive in your dogs natural stress process!
POV you’re working recall and heel with a very handsome Giant Schnauzer. Montage time!
