🐾 Today was a fantastic day in our Canine Good Citizen class with Geppetto, Frankie, Bertie, and Dylan! We focused on socializing politely with other dogs and people, mastering the “down” command, and improving leash skills.
Siri worked really hard, she practiced sitting until released and waiting at doorways. After all that brainwork, she snoozed right through the end of the lesson! Ace worked hard on his “sit,” “down,” and “place,” plus we introduced some muzzle conditioning to ensure he’s comfortable wearing it.
What a busy and productive Tuesday!
PUPPIES!! Sadie and Bjorn both had lessons today. These two are getting a head start on obedience so they can grow up to be the best big dogs they can be.

💩If your dog p**ps within our fence, we will scoop it. If your dog p**ps outside of our fence, at the park, or literally anywhere other than your personal property, PICK IT UP. Nobody wants to walk past or step in your dog’s p**p. I have bags. I will give you an entire roll. Just ask. Additionally, do not let your dog p*e on anything MANMADE. This includes our building. This includes our walkway. This includes our garden. The ONLY exception is our chain link fence. I don’t want our personal belongings being p*ed on again and again dog after dog.
🛋️ To add, please don’t let your dog on our furniture. You might have 1 dog, you might have a few. We see several dozen dogs per week. We would not have any furniture if we allowed every single dog we help on our furniture.
💥We take pride in the things we work hard for. Yes, we work with dogs but we are proud that we set ourselves apart as a clean and structured business. Thank you for helping to keep our home, training area, and community clean.
Keno is getting the royal treatment here for boarding while his owner is on a trip. He is a lovely dog and has responded well to our household manners. He knows lots of tricks and loves his earned free time in our home.

Daluca started lessons for aggression towards people and other animals due to actual abuse and trauma, and was in a really bad mindset. When we first began, even a small movement from across the room would make him defensive. Thanks to his owner’s dedication and hard work, Daluca has made incredible progress. He now lets me examine his ears and eyes, and even gives his paw on command. It’s a huge milestone for him and a testament to his owner’s commitment. We’ve made strides in healing, and while there’s still work ahead, I’m incredibly proud of Daluca and his owner’s progress!

Rosie and Atlas completed their first board & train skills transfer lessons yesterday, and they’ve shown remarkable progress! Both pups have gained a lot of confidence this week and were thrilled to demonstrate their new skills, including responding to their names, leash training, sitting on command, and waiting patiently at doorways. Exciting things are ahead for these young dogs, and I’m looking forward to more learning next week!

Welcome Atlas the 5 month old Golden Retriever to our board & train program! This gentle soul is here to boost his confidence and master obedience both at home and in public. Can’t wait to see him grow and thrive through his training journey!
Say hello to Rosie! She is a 5 month old Bernese Mountain Dog here for a board & train to work on socialization and obedience. She loves to play but is very timid and we are excited to watch her confidence bloom as she learns!
Tony is so proud of himself and he should be! He had his second private lesson today, and he rocked it! Tony practiced coming when called, sit, and waiting at doorways. I love how eager to learn he is.

Our second question is from Morgan and she asked “What’s the best way to do dog sports on a budget?”
This is a GREAT question. Dog sports and budget do not belong in the same sentence, but I will try to give the best answer I can. 🤪 Dog sports are addicting and so much fun, and I totally understand having financial limitations as the expenses can add up! My first recommendation is to learn the rules for the sport you want to do. Become familiar with the rule book so you know what is allowed and not allowed. Understand what is expected from you and your dog and how you will be judged, as well as what equipment you will need on trial day and to practice with at home. Before training for specific sports, you’ll want to work on proofing public obedience and engagement with your dog. I suggest going to trials that are local to you (follow local training clubs on Facebook and use the event search tool at infodog.com) to see other handlers compete with their dogs and get a feel for how a trial is run. You can find training videos on YouTube to help you guide you through all levels of the sport you are interested in and the AKC has resources available on their website. Keep in mind that many sports have their own organizations such as NADD for dock diving, NADAC for agility, and Barn Hunt Association to name just a few. All of this can be very overwhelming to somebody just starting out, so I highly recommend joining a local training club to learn from. As you get closer to feeling ready to compete, most training clubs will offer “fun runs,” “show and go,” or “run throughs” to practice in a trial type setting to prepare you and your dog for your actual competition. I am open to help guide newcomers to the dog sports that I am familiar with, though I am very much still a novice myself. I am happy to help direct you to resources on getting started.

It’s all fun and games until someone ends up in a cone! 🤪 Harper was in treatment for some itchy spots and the cone was used to prevent her from further tearing herself up. Harper and Redd are always so much fun during boarding. They love to be outside and are very sweet dogs. They are great at coming when called!
Mikey has done an AWESOME job transitioning back home after his board & train. Mikey dropped off very distracted, didn’t listen to commands, and wanting to try to bite strangers. Mikey’s behavior is more predictable, he’s more focused, and his owners agree that he has at least 90% compliance with almost everything we worked on with him! We love the dedication to his program and seeing him be successful at life!
We got 2 really great questions for this week’s and I decided to answer them both! Brenda asked “Are you insured?” YES!! We do carry insurance as well as all necessary licensing. We take our business very seriously, as we would not be in business for long if we did not. By shopping with businesses that are insured and licensed, you are helping to keep the community safe by supporting a business that is professional and accountable. 💯
Snafu has a goal in mind and we need some help achieving it!! If you want to help us and are scheduled for a lesson or drop in sometime in the next month and want to earn a free bag of treats or chew by helping, please message me and we can add a few minutes to your lesson. Thank you!!

A couple snippets of June’s progress! June started lessons about 2 months ago with the goals of her owner’s parents being able to walk her, to be able to “chill” on a place cot, and to visit dog friendly public places. June is friendly with other dogs but likes to bark at them on walks. She worked in close contact with Aura today, staying focused on her task!! I’m super proud of her. Stay tuned for her first public training Thursday!
Here’s a video of Dorothy’s first leash lesson. We prepared her for this by teaching her yield to leash pressure. Loose leash = correct behavior = rewards. Dorothy pulled awful prior to today’s lesson! This progress is only 4 minutes into this leash skills session.
Mina the German Shepherd is learning to have some impulse control when she is excited. Waiting at doorways is one way we are teaching her to control her impulses and think before she acts. #germanshepherd #dogtraining #dogsoftennessee
Deshedding baths are so satisfying! Maui is looking WOWEE after his bath, blow out, and brushing today. We have some bath appointments in June and July. Message us to book! #deshed #deshedding #husky #huskylife #dogsoftennessee #tennesseedogs

SO IMPRESSED WITH BOZWELL!!
This is not the type of content I typically post, just because everybody who’s not a dog trainer has an opinion about dogs in muzzles, dogs that bite, and dogs that otherwise struggle. I trimmed Lola’s nails tonight and this video shows the front nails being done. This video does not show her back nails, as that was a bit more of a tussle with Lola, however I was successful in trimming all of her nails without incident. Lola completed a board and train in December. She has bitten people before and tried to bite me tonight in protest of her nails being trimmed. I am quick to react and take preventive measures to keep myself and Lola safe. Nail trims are an essential part of life. Lola’s nails were painfully long, I cut 1/4”-1/2” from each of them. The only tools I used to complete Lola’s nail trim were a slip lead, a bite proof muzzle, and nail trimmers. She was not sedated nor was she given any calming supplements. Lola has come a long way, building up trust with me, but overall she is not a trusting dog as she was purchased from an Amish puppy mill at 8 months old and was not socialized. I did put a bit more pressure on Lola during this stay with me, as she has worked very hard on trusting humans with her owners dedication. Lola is fearful and frustrated trying to navigate a world she’s inexperienced in. Compassion, patience, clarity, and consistency have gone a long way for Lola.

Aspen learns to come when called in day training! I just love this little dog!
Winston learned a valuable skill today! The “leave it” command is a proactive way to teach your dog not to pick things up. A solid leave it command prevents your dog from chewing or swallowing things he shouldn’t. Got a dog who loves to put everything in his mouth? Send us a text at 713-898-9793 to discuss training. We are in Johnson City.
