Open Gates Dog Training

04/25/2025

Leo is here for a few days while his dad is out of town. I’ve worked with him in private lessons and am excited to continue with work here. He has stranger danger and doesn’t appreciate people just approaching him suddenly. He’s a big sweet heart though and an athlete!

We hope you all have had a Happy Easter! Love, Cleo, Bernie, Cricket and the Gates family.

This picture about sums up their relationship! (Teddy the big sister & Bear the little bro)

Our goal is to send your pups home as improved versions of themselves mentally and physically. 💖🐶

Our beloved long-stay summer training clients Teddy & Bear had a much needed spa day at our favorite local grooming spot today! Their groomer did a fantastic job bringing them from scruffy & stinky to regal and refreshed! They’ve got a new pep in their step and are ready to show off their new and improved manners to their owners on Sunday! 🐕🐾🥰🤗

We are also honored to welcome Sadie the supermodel to the Open Gates home this week! She is just here to relax and have a good time while her parents travel. Isn’t she a cutie?

Welcoming Camden! This handsome man is with us for a 2 week stay & train to work on his confidence around other dogs on leash. After experiencing some negative greetings with other dogs on leash he has become defensive and reactive. We are here to help change that! He’s already studying up on the basics 😉🥰

Most of our clients want to work on their pup’s social skills around other dogs. Whether they are reactive, anxious, undersocialized or just haven’t been able to experience structured play before, we always make it a goal for our training pups to have a positive experience around a variety of other dogs. We help facilitate healthy play and polite social interactions by encouraging and enforcing breaks. We also incorporate some group obedience before and in between play. While we want our pups to play it is even more important that they have the ability to remain calm and neutral around other dogs. 💕🐕💕
