🎃👻 Happy Halloween! Stay safe out there tonight! 👻🎃

Give your dogs some extra exercise today and have a fun chew or enrichment activity ready to keep them busy when the little ghosts and goblins start coming around!

If your dog is nervous about all the commotion, let them relax in a quiet, secure space with a crate, some background noise, and something to keep them occupied. No need to put them through the stress!

Or, if you’re like us, you’ll take advantage of this amazing opportunity to use all those extra distractions as a real-life training session! 🐕‍🦺🎃

Know your dog, set them up for success, and have a safe and happy Halloween! 🧡

Our Bernie girl, Gussie, has started her 4 week program and is learning so much already! A common misconception people have is that their dogs enter a training program to learn sit and down. Couldn’t be further from the truth! Our students do learn basic behaviors but they also learn patience, trust, focus, engagement and confidence. All important skills, possibly even more important than basic behaviors! Gussie is young and has a bright future ahead of her!

Tell me if anyone can relate to my ‘scientific findings’ 😂

Of the breeds I most commonly get for training, are:

Corgis….primarily females
Labs….almost all female
Malinois…..50/50 split
Golden retrievers….nearly all male
Doodles…..mostly young males
Shepherds…..9/10 times will be female

I don’t make the rules but this ought to say something!

A fear period is a normal part of puppy development, when things they were previously comfortable with may suddenly seem scary or unfamiliar (in the picture my puppy has become aware of a log in the grass).

My approach doesn’t change much during these stages. I stay calm, redirect their brain to something fun, and continue exposing the puppy to the world in a positive, age-appropriate way without forcing interactions or making a big deal out of their fears.

The goal is to build confidence through calm guidance and positive experiences, not to shelter them from everything that makes them uncomfortable. Confidence comes from learning how to navigate the world and its novelties, so we don’t make a big stink over spooky stuff!

My favorite part of raising puppies is when they p**p and I go to pick it up and as I reach for it they step right in it…not.

So glad to see Princess Luna for a post training follow up 🤩 These sessions are great to see how everyone is settling in with the new structure and behaviors and see if/ where the holes are that still need work. Her family is doing an excellent job getting her out and using the training! Luna still expressing her classic “lazy dog” down 🤣
