🎉 Big congratulations to our newest Canine Good Citizen (CGC) titleholders! 🐾

👏 On Saturday, Livy — a 2-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog/Poodle mix — and Beau — an almost 2-year-old Stabyhoun — earned their CGC titles with trainer Victoria. Way to go!

🐶 On Sunday, we celebrated even more success with trainer Janice as the following pups earned their CGC titles:
• Lulu, an almost 2-year-old Portuguese Water Dog
• Cooper, a 2-year-old Australian Labradoodle
• Daisy, a 1-year-old Great Pyrenees/Hound mix
• Comet, a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd

We’re so proud of all these pups and their humans for the hard work and dedication! 💪

Spoon was the bestest boy on his first out and about private training session with his mom and our trainer Palestina.

One on one coaching is a great way to get closer to your training goals via personalized training plans. Private training is a great addition to group classes or Day Training, or some clients prefer to only work one on one.

Spoon is a young Chihuahua mix who has some big feelings about seeing fast moving things in the world. His owners have been working on building foundation skills in our training center with low distractions and today was the first day we worked together to bring those skills out into real life situations. When presented with a big distraction of kids walking past us, Spoon chose instead to focus on his mom with a pattern game we've worked on many times before. Good boy, Spoon!!

🎉 Huge congrats to Finn Healey, Finn O’Brien, and Stanley for completing the Curbing Adolescence class with trainer Janice!

Finn O and Stanley returned for a refresher, while Finn H worked hard on managing his emotions around other dogs while on leash.

They all did an amazing job — way to go, team! 🐾👏

Refresher sessions aren’t just for the dogs—they’re for the humans too! Even after completing a group class or day training, a follow-up with one of our instructors can help sharpen specific skills at home. 🐾
Theo, a 2.5-year-old mixed breed, recently had a refresher session to brush up on politely greeting visitors at the door.
Comet and Donner, two enthusiastic 6-month-old Pyrenees mixes, had just wrapped up their day training—and their dedicated human wanted help applying those new skills to real-life guest scenarios.

In both cases, the excitement of seeing new people was a little too much!
Trainer Victoria helped everyone review practical management strategies and share fun, effective training games that help dogs stay calm and confident when welcoming guests.

Small sessions can make a big difference!

This week's client shout out goes to this sweet girl - Rayna! Rescued from the streets of Aruba, this girl landed herself in a wonderfully supportive home who is dedicated to building her confidence and helping her be her best self!

Starting with trainer Palestina, Kim and Alan worked hard in private coaching sessions to build Rayna's overall confidence, learn basic skills, and work on understanding Rayna's body language so they could improve their communication together. They have since moved to classes and one on one coaching with trainer Janice to help with Rayna's big feelings about outside world things such as bicycles and kids.

Rayna is a regular with our Social Outings as well and has made several positive social connections with other dogs in our training clientele. Her progress has been stellar and it's all made possible by the dedication of her pet parents. 😍
