✨ Training Tip of the Day ✨

Want your dog’s training to hold up in the real world? Focus on the 3 D’s:

🐾 Duration – How long your dog can hold a behavior
🐾 Distance – How far away you can be while your dog performs it
🐾 Distraction – How well your dog can perform despite environmental challenges

Start small, build gradually, and celebrate success at every step. By layering these three elements, you’ll create resilience and reliability in your dog’s behavior—so they can succeed whether you’re in the living room or the park! 🌟

📌 Ready to put the 3 D’s into action? We have private lesson spaces available—message us today to get started with your dog’s next step! 🐶✨

A little loose leash walking with a gorgeous sunset. Super proud of this team. Sky went from zero handler engagement to this in just 3 lessons 😍. She’s picking up on a variety of behaviors and loves having work to do.

Our good Friend Karen Dodge breeds absolutely incredible Boxers. Euro lines, AKC registered, health tested, and amazing temperaments!!!!! These babies are 5 weeks old now and she has a couple available. 😍

These puppies are incredibly well raised - talking walks in the big world, exposed to horses, chickens, barn life, started potty training outside, used to the crate, and raised by ALL the adult dogs on the farm/in the house. You can find Karen on FB (see pick page is public - but it won't let me tag) or contact her directly at 603-731-0723 located in Central Oklahoma just S. of Pauls Valley.
