🎓 Trainer Katia’s Tip of the Day:
"Training should be fun. If you aren’t enjoying it, take a break and regroup." 🐾💡

Your energy matters! If you or your dog are getting frustrated, it’s okay to hit pause. A quick reset can go a long way in making training productive and positive.

🎓🐾 Graduation Day!
A big round of applause for our recent graduates! These pups (and their people!) put in the time, effort, and reps—and it shows.

From leash manners to solid recall and everything in between, we’re proud of how far each of these dogs has come. The journey doesn’t stop here, but they’re walking into their next chapter with confidence! 💪🐶

🧠 Training Tip of the Day:
Always reward the calm, not just the command. 🐶💤

If your dog sits but is vibrating with excitement, wait for that moment of calm before marking or rewarding. This helps build real-life stability—not just surface obedience.

Training isn’t just about what they do, but how they do it!

If you’ve ever eaten a snack in absolute silence, used the bathroom with an audience, or performed a full-on Olympic spin just to untangle a leash… you might be a dog owner 😂🐾

Some things just hit different when you live with a four-legged shadow.

Which one’s your life?👇

🎯 What We’re Working on Today 🐾

🐾 Lil Richard – dialing in recall (with only minimal zoomie interruptions today 😅)
🐾 Vader – practicing recall with real-life distractions—he’s making progress!
🐾 Tito – learning tone avoidance and impulse control (because toys are life 🎾)
🐾 Gene – just being a puppy and working on the basics: manners, calmness, and not being too cute 😄

Every dog has their own goals—and we’re putting in the reps to get there!

“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” – Roger Caras 🐾💛

Training your dog isn’t just about teaching commands—it’s about building a bond that makes both of your lives richer. Keep putting in the work, and watch that bond grow stronger every day.

🐾 Fun Fact of the Day!

Ever wonder why dogs kick their legs after going potty? It’s actually a natural instinct to mark their territory! 🐾💥 They release scent from glands in their paws to let other dogs know “this is MY spot.”

So when your pup is kicking up a storm, they’re just being a little territorial and extra cute! 😄

🍔🐾 If Dog Breeds Were Fast Food...

Which fast food restaurant best matches your pup’s vibe? Is your Golden Retriever all about that Chick-fil-A life, or does your Husky have a little Taco Bell chaos in them? 😅

Drop your dog’s fast food personality in the comments—we're curious to see who belongs in which drive-thru! 😂🍟

🐾 Training an Aussie? Here’s what you need to know!

Smart, driven, and bursting with energy—Australian Shepherds are amazing, but they need structure, mental stimulation, and clear leadership to thrive.

We work with tons of Aussies, and trust us—they’ll run the house if you let them 😉
The good news? With the right training, they become the most focused, fun, and loyal companions you’ll ever have.

💪🐾 Motivation Monday

Progress doesn’t always look perfect—sometimes it’s messy, slow, and full of little wins you don’t notice right away.
But your dog is learning.
You’re growing.
And the consistency you put in today is what leads to calm, confident dogs tomorrow.

Keep showing up. Keep leading. You've got this—and we’re here to help every step of the way.

🐣✨ Easter is full of fun—but for our pups, it can come with a few hidden dangers!

Chocolate, plastic grass, and candy-filled eggs might look festive, but they can be risky for curious noses 🐾
Keep your Easter safe and dog-friendly with a few simple swaps and extra awareness!

Enjoy the holiday and keep those tails wagging—safely 💛

What a beautiful morning with our crew ☀️🐾

Huge thank you to everyone who came out to our pack walk today- we had an awesome turnout and such a well-behaved group.
It’s always amazing to see dogs and owners putting in the work together💪🏼

We love building community through training, structure, and a whole lot of tail wags. See you at the next one!

“Ugh, my dog’s just being stubborn...”
Not so fast 👀

Sometimes what looks like stubbornness is actually confusion, distraction, or unclear communication.
Before you assume they’re ignoring you on purpose, ask yourself:
❓Do they really know the command?
❓Are they too overstimulated to focus?
❓Have I been consistent with how I teach it?

Clear expectations lead to real results—and we’re here to help you get there.

Trainer Mike’s Tip of the Day:
“Love kills dogs. Discipline saves them.” 🐾💬

It’s easy to confuse love with leniency—but structure, clear expectations, and follow-through are what truly keep dogs safe and happy.
Boundaries = freedom. Obedience = confidence.
Your dog doesn’t need you to be their best friend—they need a calm, consistent leader.
