🐾 A LITTLE PUPDATE ON HAZELNUT! 🐾

Our recent Board & Train graduate, Hazelnut, had himself a little trip to the veterinarian yesterday!

Unfortunately, he’s been dealing with some tummy troubles, but thankfully, his veterinarian isn’t too concerned, and he’s getting the care he needs. ❤️

But here’s the part we’re REALLY excited about! 👏

Hazelnut allowed the veterinarian to handle him and examine his belly, WITHOUT A MUZZLE! 🎉

For a dog who has struggled with unfamiliar people and handling, this is a HUGE accomplishment!

This is exactly why we put so much emphasis on building confidence, trust, and better coping skills during training.

We’re so proud of you, Hazelnut! Now let’s get that tummy feeling better! ❤️🐾

Training doesn’t end at graduation, and neither does the progress! 🎓

With 40 reactions on his photo, Gimli strutted his way down the yellow brick road and straight into the winner’s circle! 🤣❤️

A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated, voted, shared, and helped make our first Howl-O-Ween celebration so much fun!

Congratulations, Gimli! 🌈🐶

❄️🐾 Winter Is Coming… Are Your Pup’s Paws Ready? 🐾❄️

We know, we know. Dogs wearing shoes can look pretty hilarious. 😂 But those little booties serve a much bigger purpose than making us laugh!

As temperatures begin to drop, we’re encouraging our Canine College pawrents to invest in a set of dog booties to help protect their pups’ paws from cold surfaces, snow, ice, and harsh deicing chemicals this winter! 🥶

Here’s where Canine College comes in! 🎓🐕

Rather than waiting until the first snowfall to introduce something completely foreign to your dog, we want to start preparing them NOW!

We’re encouraging pawrents to purchase a properly fitting set of booties and bring them along to Canine College!

We’ll gradually introduce them through positive experiences, helping our students become comfortable with having their paws handled, wearing their new footwear, and eventually walking confidently in them.

Because let’s face it, the first time a dog wears shoes, they tend to walk like they’ve suddenly forgotten how their legs work. 😂🐾

Our goal? By the time winter arrives, our students will be ready to enjoy outdoor activities with their paws protected!

And remember, this isn’t just about winter footwear. It’s another opportunity to build confidence, practice patience, and teach our dogs to comfortably navigate new experiences!

🐾 Real-world skills. Confidence building. Preparation for everyday life.

That’s what Canine College is all about! 💚🎓

Our boarding pups got in on the spooky festivities with their very own Halloween photo shoot! 📸🎃

Either way, we’ve got some pretty adorable little monsters spending Halloween with us!

Wishing everyone a safe, spooky, and treat-filled Halloween from all of us at Proper Pup! 🧡🖤

🎓🐾 OFFICIALLY A PROPER PUP! 🐾🎓

Everyone give a HUGE congratulations to Hazelnut, who has officially graduated from his 3-week Basic Board & Train! 👏🥳

We wrapped up his training with a slightly unconventional go-home session… in a parking lot! 🤣

In this video, you’ll see myself, Sarah, and Hazelnut’s mom, Dani, taking turns practicing recall. A perfect opportunity to demonstrate everything he’s learned and begin transferring those skills back to his mom!

Over the past three weeks, Hazelnut has worked on obedience, impulse control, confidence, manners, and learning how to make better decisions around distractions.

But graduation doesn’t mean the training stops! Now comes the important part: maintaining those skills at home through consistency and follow-through.

Hazelnut, it’s been an absolute pleasure watching you grow, buddy! ❤️

Congratulations, Hazelnut! You’re officially a Proper Pup! 🎓🐶🐾

🐾 CONFIDENCE IS BUILT, NOT GIVEN. 🐾

Meet Remi. ❤️

Remi is currently here for our 3-week Basic Board & Train program, and while we’re working on obedience, one of our biggest priorities is building her confidence.

Remi is an extremely nervous girl. New environments, unfamiliar experiences, and situations outside her comfort zone can be intimidating for her.

So why would we ask a nervous dog to do something that makes her uncomfortable?

Because avoiding everything that makes a dog nervous doesn’t teach them how to overcome challenges.

In this video, we’re working with Remi on an elevated agility obstacle called a dog walk.

At the beginning, Remi was hesitant to step onto it. She was unsure of herself and what we were asking her to do.

But with patience, encouragement, and guidance, she started figuring it out.

By the end of our session, was she completely confident? Nope!

Was she still nervous? Absolutely.

But was she less hesitant and more willing to try? YES! 👏

And THAT is what confidence building looks like.

Here’s something I wish more dog owners understood:

❤️ Confidence doesn’t mean your dog never feels nervous.

❤️ Confidence means your dog is learning that unfamiliar situations aren’t automatically something to fear.

❤️ Confidence grows when dogs are given opportunities to work through manageable challenges and experience success.

❤️ Progress isn’t always a dog enthusiastically tackling an obstacle. Sometimes it’s simply taking that next step despite being unsure.

Now, there’s an important distinction here.

We aren’t talking about forcing a terrified dog into situations they’re incapable of handling.

There’s a difference between challenging a dog and overwhelming one. The goal is to create manageable experiences where the dog can think, learn, and succeed, not simply endure something frightening.

For Remi, today’s victory wasn’t mastering an agility obstacle.

It was discovering that she could do something she initially wasn’t sure she could.

And those little victories? They add up. 🐾

We’re incredibly proud of this sweet girl. ❤️
