Thank you to Finn, Rayna, and Brodey who joined us today for a Social Outing at Forge Pond Park.

This week's brag goes to one of our long time client favorites- Georgia!

Georgia has been working with us in various training capacities - Private training, Group Classes, and is a long timer with our Day Training program.

Her mom is dedicated to helping Georgia overcome big feelings about other dogs. When she first started training Georgia was very reactive with other dogs. Her mom knew that she needed help in supporting Georgia's emotional responses to other dogs and reached out.

Her mom Jenn began working with trainer Victoria in private sessions to get individualized coaching and a personalize training plan, and then when she felt confident that Georgia had enough skills, she enrolled her in her first class and then they just kept going!

Through dedicated hard work, Georgia has made incredible strides with her reactivity. Being able to work in areas where dogs are in sight and stay focused on her handlers, walking past dogs out and about, and her ability to disengage from triggers are skills she has developed over the time she has trained with us.

Georgia is now on a health track to lose some weight and has been enjoying AKC Fit Dog exercises with trainer Althea during Day Training as part of her weight loss program.

Keep up the good work, Jenn!! It's been a pleasure to be part of Georgia's training journey.

Big shoutout to Hank, a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix, who recently wrapped up his training package with Victoria! 🐾💪
Hank was having a tough time staying calm in his own neighborhood—startled by strangers, fast-moving bikes, and unexpected sights in his line of vision. He’d bark, lunge, and clearly felt overwhelmed.

But with the commitment of his amazing humans and some focused training, Hank learned vital relaxation and leash-walking skills. Through counter-conditioning and adding predictability to his routine, Hank began to build confidence and recover more quickly when something triggered him. 💡

Now, he’s better equipped to handle the world around him—and his family is too! Way to go, Hank and team! 🐶👏

Time to brag about our awesome clients who just get it! They know and understand the amount of training it takes to shape your puppy into a well behaved adult dog.

This is Ruby- an energetic 8 month old labradoodle - and she is a trainer FAVORITE! (Janice just loves her to pieces, but shhh- don’t tell the others!)

When we first met Ruby, she was young, wild, and care-free. She was so excited to see other dogs and people that it was difficult to get her attention around distractions and she didn’t want to focus or even eat around them. She just wanted to play!

While play and off leash social skills are important, socialization is so much more than that! Puppy Kindergarten was challenging for Ruby (and Ruby’s family) but they remained consistent in coming to class each week, giving it their all! They did the homework. They also continued group class training going on to Good Manners level 1 and now midway through our Curbing Adolescence class.

Ruby’s family also gave her added training time by sending her to Puppy Camp and then our full Day Training program. This gave her hands on 1:1 attention from a professional dog trainer. Ruby is just about to start her second round of Day Training where the focus will be on taking Ruby out into public more often to generalize her training to new environments around heavier distractions.

The improvements that Ruby has made in just about 5 months have been nothing short of amazing! THIS is what dedication and consistency get you. We are SO PROUD of Ruby but even more THANKFUL for her wonderful family who are supporting her needs with positive reinforcement based training! 💕💕

We’ve had some awesome dogs graduate from our drop-off Day Training program the last few weeks including: Tate, Mae, and Darwin! 🎉🎉

Day Training gives your dog 1:1 training time with a professional as well as added socialization and appropriate off-leash playtime. Every four sessions your dog does, YOU get a 1:1 personal coaching session with your dog and their trainer. This is where we help you learn how to manage and reward your dog’s behavior appropriately.

With summer approaching, NOW is the time to help your canine companion get in some training time!
