Big shoutout to Max for absolutely crushing it with his place work lately! 🎓🐾

He's holding his spot like a champ, even with all kinds of distractions going on around him — people, noises, toys, you name it. So proud of his progress and focus!

If you're working on teaching place to your pup, here are a few positive reinforcement tips:

🐾 Start simple: Use a defined mat or bed and reward the moment your pup steps onto it. Keep sessions short and fun.

🐾 Build duration gradually: Add time little by little. Don’t rush it!

🐾 Introduce distractions slowly: Toss a toy, walk around, or make noise — just make sure your pup is still set up for success.

🐾 Use high-value rewards: Treats, praise, or a favorite toy can help make staying on place super rewarding.

🐾 Release with intention: Teach a clear release word like "okay!" so they know when they’re free to leave.

Exciting Day at ABTK9!

Today was a milestone for our day trainees, Max and Spot, as they attended their very first social group day training session at ABTK9! 🎓🐶

We are thrilled to introduce them to healthy dog socialization. It's crucial for their development, and they are already showing promising signs!

At just five and six months old, Max and Spot are not only socializing but also learning to perform commands with distractions. It's impressive how quickly they're picking things up and becoming well-rounded canine citizens.

We look forward to watching their progress as they continue to grow and learn. Stay tuned for more updates on their journey! 🐾
