Not only are the barn hunt dogs having fun and positively using their drive during lessons, but they’re also learning how to be competitive in the sport! We recently attended the Barn Hunt Regional event in Iowa and here are the results from our wonderful lesson dogs!

Atlas got his Novice A title and 2 1st places for his novice runs.

Archie earned his Instinct title.

Jazzi rocker her first ever trial, even got a first place for her time of 33 seconds.

Oakley 14th out of 65 dogs in the Master Regional.

Kaida earned her novice title and 3 high in class.

Not pictured are Shade, Eddie, and Mollie who all had great runs!

This handsome man is Adzuki. We pulled him from the shelter and fostered him for a month before he went to his forever home. Adzuki is a high energy dog who thrives having a job, but was quickly declining in the shelter. He is great with other dogs and loves to play, but struggled with over arousal based reactivity, cat chasing, pulling on the leash, and settling.

After his month bootcamp with us, he no longer chases cats, auto checks in around other dogs, has drastically decreased his screaming, walks nice on the leash, and settles well in the home. He is now with his new owner and will continue training with her in hopes of becoming a psychiatric service dog!

Today, Georgia the young beagle had her first in home lesson working on threshold training. If a door was open, she was out of it and running. Now, even though the door is open, she has to wait until her release word. This is dog training without all the fancy tricks, just real world application of skills making life less stressful for her people!

The best part? Look at her tail go and how happy she is to be using her brain. Having boundaries doesn’t mean the dog has to be shut down or punished, just clear communication on both ends!

The theme for lessons this weekend was puppies, puppies, and more puppies. When the owners first reached out, one common questions was what is the right age to start training?

The answer: as soon as they come home!

Your tiny, squishy, adorable puppy may act like a little angel when they come home, but they won’t stay like that if given the chance. Most dogs, especially teenager puppies aren’t “Bad”, they just don’t know what is expected of them and what is not. By starting early on showing your puppy clear communication, expectations, and boundaries, you are setting them up for a lifetime of success. Instead of guessing, your puppy (and soon to be adult dog) knows exactly what is expected of them because it has always been that way!

You will have your puppy for the next 10-15 years, take the time when they are babies to invest in their future and help them grow into a dog that is a joy to live with.

Now, we can absolutely retrain a dog that has learned less than desirable behaviors, but it’s just going to take a little more work😉

Pictured is Kaida at 14 weeks old melting into the vets’s lap and learning lots of good thing happen at the vet.🥹
