Molly, Anakin, Walsh, Annie, and Shirley Temple had their paws full in Advanced Obedience!

Between navigating around their classmates, practicing their manners, and squeezing into some interesting spots under chairs, there was so much fun happening in class!

Some exercises came easier than others, but that’s all part of the fun! Shoutout to these pups and their humans for giving each challenge a try! 💙🐾

Our Intermediate Obedience pups have been working on their stays, building patience, and learning to hold their positions even as their humans move farther away and distractions pop up! Great work this past week Peapod, Nora and Koda!💙🧡

It’s one thing to know a cue, but being able to follow it with more distance and distractions takes practice!

Ready to challenge your dog’s obedience skills and prepare for the holidays? We have two upcoming Intermediate classes starting!

🎓🐾 Puppy Kindergarten graduates coming through!

Princess, Libby, and Blue wrapped up their final class with a few more challenges before earning those diplomas! 🥳

They practiced leaving tempting treats alone and keeping all four paws on the floor while being greeted by people. Not an easy task when you’re a puppy and everyone is so exciting! 😂🐶

A big congratulations to these three pups and their proud pawrents! We loved watching you learn and grow over the past six weeks! 💙🐾

There’s still time to get your puppy started before the new year! 🐶 Last 6 week Puppy Kindergarten classes of 2026!

Therapy Thursday 🎃

Protect your peace.

Especially if your peace is being threatened by a creepy doll, a strange noise upstairs, or anything that requires you to “go check it out.”

Nope. Get yourself a sweet treat instead. 😂👻

Your dog graduated Basic Obedience. Now what? 🎓🐾

Maybe they’re doing great at home but still need practice around distractions. Maybe those foundation skills could use a little strengthening before moving on.

That’s where Basic Obedience 2.0 comes in!

It’s an opportunity to build consistency and confidence with skills your dog has already started learning.

🐶 Starts Monday, November 2 at 6:00 PM.

💙 Confidence Building 🧡

Confidence doesn’t mean your dog has to become fearless. ❤️

For some dogs, confidence looks like investigating something new. Walking across an unfamiliar surface. Recovering a little faster after being startled. Or choosing to move closer instead of backing away.

Our Confidence Building Class gives dogs opportunities to explore, problem-solve and try new things at their own pace while we help owners learn how to support them without pushing them too far.

🐾 Tuesday, December 8 • 4:00 PM

Little wins can turn into some pretty big changes. 🥰

🍬 Training Tip Tuesday: Practice the “Treat Toss”

Halloween means dropped candy, wrappers, glow sticks, and all kinds of interesting stuff suddenly appearing on sidewalks. 👻

Before trick-or-treat night, practice “Leave It” with things your dog might actually encounter. Put a safe item on the ground, keep enough distance that your dog can be successful, cue Leave It, and reward them for disengaging and checking back in with you.

As they get better, gradually practice around more tempting distractions.

🎃 Halloween bonus: Bring some extra-good treats on walks. You want what you have to be way more exciting than whatever mystery item they just spotted on the sidewalk.

Because on November 1st, “Leave It” might be the most important cue your dog knows. 😅🐾
