One of our very own is in the top five in the pet of the month contest! I would really appreciate anyone who can going to Center Animal Clinic page and voting for Echo! His mom has put in a lot of good work to help Echo be the best boy.

03/14/2024

My job is about helping owners feel prepared for life with their dogs and helping their dogs understand what they can expect from their owners. Echo has been in my day training program with a goal of being able to take walks with his mom without her worrying about him reacting to other dogs. He has made amazing progress over the month that he has been working with me and I’m happy that his mom has gotten to see his progress in real life. If you want to be able to enjoy walks with your dog like Echo’s mom you can sign up for our day training program here https://www.flyhighdogtraining.com/daytraining

Yesterday I had the opportunity to share how I train with the networking group I am a part of. It is always great to share the power of good training with others.

Dog trainers love positive reinforcement too! We would love it if you could share your experience with other potential clients by leaving us a review on social media or Google.

Is your dog a play out in the snow kind of dog or a stay inside and cuddle kind of dog?
