🎓🐾 TANK IS OFFICIALLY A GRADUATE! 🐾🎓

Someone tell Tank that looking THIS handsome in a graduation cap should be illegal! 😍💙

This sweet boy just graduated from our Elementary class, and guess what?! He’s already signed up for MIDDLE SCHOOL! 🙌

We LOVE seeing our students continue their training journey! Graduation isn’t the finish line. It’s another stepping stone toward building great manners, confidence, and an even stronger bond with their humans. ❤️

Way to go, Tank! We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see what you accomplish next!

Now, if only all middle schoolers were this excited about going back to school! 😂🐶

🐾 Is YOUR dog ready to be our next graduate?

Whether you’re starting with a brand-new puppy, working on basic manners, or ready to take your dog’s skills to the next level, we’ve got a class for you!

📅 We have upcoming classes on the schedule and would LOVE to have you join us!

👉 Check out our class schedule and sign up today at www.suchagooddog.com!

🐾 Is your dog taking YOU for a walk? 😂

Our next Loose Leash Legends class starts in just ONE WEEK!

📅 Tuesday, October 13
⏰ 6:45 PM
Click here to sign up: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/9c0a81fc/?appointmentTypeIds%5B%5D=84948432

This 4-week class is all about helping you and your dog build better leash skills so walks can be more enjoyable for BOTH ends of the leash!

And we’re not just practicing inside a training facility…

🐕 2 classes at the SUCH A GOOD DOG facility
🌎 2 FIELD TRIPS to take those skills out into the real world!

We’ll work on things like:
🐾 Walking beside you with a loose leash
🐾 Staying connected with you around distractions
🐾 Structured walking vs. getting released to sniff and explore
🐾 Handling real-world distractions without being dragged down the sidewalk 😅
🐾 Building better communication between you and your dog

Because loose leash walking isn’t about expecting your dog to march in a perfect heel for the entire walk … it’s about teaching them how to walk WITH you, while still getting opportunities to sniff, explore, and be a dog. ❤️

📍 SUCH A GOOD DOG
📅 Starts Tuesday, October 13 at 6:45 PM

Spots are limited, so grab yours and come walk with us! 🐶🐾

😬 LOOK AT THOSE TEETH! Is Sherman being aggressive?

If you saw this photo with absolutely no context, what would you think?

Sherman looks like he’s giving a pretty serious warning here, doesn’t he? But this is a perfect example of why we cannot read a dog based on one snapshot… or one body part.

What Sherman is displaying is commonly called a submissive or appeasement grin.

And yes…it can look VERY convincing. 😂

Teeth do not automatically = aggression.

A submissive grin can be part of a dog’s social/appeasement behavior. You may see the lips pulled back along with softer eyes, ears back, wiggling, lowered posture, approaching, lip licking, or other appeasement signals.

Compare that to exposed teeth accompanied by freezing, a stiff body, hard staring, growling, guarding space, or attempts to create distance.

Same teeth. Very different conversation.

🐾 A wagging tail doesn’t automatically mean friendly.
🐾 Ears back don’t automatically mean scared.
🐾 And showing teeth doesn’t automatically mean aggressive.

We have to read the WHOLE dog.

🎥 Check the comments to see Sherman in action! His “smile” makes a whole lot more sense when you see the rest of the interaction. 😂🧡

🐾 Beau’s Law takes effect TODAY, October 1st, here in Alabama!

This new law puts clearer standards in place for the care of dogs kept outdoors, including access to food, clean water, appropriate shelter, and safer requirements for tethering and confinement. It also includes specific exceptions for things like temporary tethering, leash walking, and certain hunting and working-dog activities.

At SUCH A GOOD DOG, we believe responsible dog ownership goes far beyond training. Our dogs depend on us for their safety, care, enrichment, and overall well-being… and we’re glad to see more awareness being brought to what responsible outdoor care should look like. ❤️🐶

Please take a minute to read through the information below and share it. The more dog owners who know what the law requires, the better.

And if you see a dog whose basic needs aren’t being met, contact the appropriate animal control or law-enforcement agency in that area.

🐾 Know the law. Know the facts. Help keep Alabama dogs safe.

🚨 HANDSOME BOY ALERT 🚨

Everybody meet BRYCE! 🐾💙

Bryce is currently with Notorious D.O.G Dog Rescue and is looking for one very important thing… his forever home. 🏡

In the meantime, this sweet boy is spending his time becoming an educated gentleman in our Elementary class at Such A Good Dog! 🎓🐶

And by golly… IS HE A HANDSOME, SWEET BOY. 😍

We’ve absolutely loved having Bryce in class. He’s not only ridiculously photogenic (seriously, LOOK AT THAT FACE 😂), but he’s getting the opportunity to work on his basic manners and skills while he waits for his person to find him.

One of our favorite things is seeing rescue dogs get opportunities like this… because Bryce isn’t just looking for a home. He’s getting ready to be somebody’s really, really good dog. ❤️

If you’ve been thinking about adding a new best friend to your family, Bryce would sure love to be considered. And if you aren’t looking to adopt, please SHARE! His forever family might just be on your friends list. 🐾

Someone go adopt this handsome boy before we all get way too attached. 😂❤️
