"Life, pondered" by Hank, the Visla.

Darby, the 6 month old Great Dane from Monks Corner, is getting a head start on good dog behavior by being trained before problematic puppy behavior presents itself, and is already doing great.

Hank the Visla is a newcomer to HCC but already showing his eagerness to learn. Definitely a breed characteristic, which is why they're one of my favorite breeds to work with.

Update on our sweet hound mix Benson!

When he first came to us, Benson was struggling big time: severe separation anxiety (crying and pacing when left alone), jumping on everyone for attention, and total chaos on walks—pulling nonstop on leash and zero recall off-leash. It broke our hearts seeing him so anxious and unsettled.

But after just a couple weeks with Holy City Canine, he's on the home stretch to graduation and already a completely different dog! He's learning to settle calmly when alone, greets people politely with all four paws on the ground, and walks like a gentleman on leash—no more dragging his owner around Charleston! Off-leash reliability is coming along beautifully too—he's staying close and responsive.

It's difficult to tell in the photo (sarcasm), but Guster has been thoroughly enjoying his feeding sessions. Not a bad day of weather for training either!

Dennis, the GSD / Great Pyrenees X and I took advantage of a much needed break in the weather for some great outdoor training. This guy has done a complete 180 since his arrival!

Sophie, decompressing after an excellent training session. She's impressed me with her eagerness and ability to learn.
