Maize has been with us for a little over a week now and has made great progress. We worked on her going over a little jump at the park, she was a little hesitant at first but loved doing it! She heads home this week and we can’t wait to hear how she does at home. . . ... #gilbertaz #chandleraz #mesaaz #santanvalleyaz #queencreekaz #az #arizona #obedience #training #dog #dogsofinstagram #australianlabradoodle #australianlabradoodlesofinstagram #labradoodle #labradoodlesofinstagram #doodlesofinstagram #doodlelove
Bentley is with us to advance his training, we started ecollar with him and getting him out into public again. He went on 2 big adventures today, one to the farmers market in Mesa and then we got some coffee!
All happy pups here ❤️ who’s excited for the weekend?!
Casper has been with us for a little over a week now! He has a little less than a week until he goes home and he’s made e great progress. He worked at a park for the first time this morning and recalled away from a dog he was looking at! 🙌🐕
We can’t wait to keep pushing him to be the best dog he can be and see his progress grow more with his owners. 🥰
Nala has been with us for a week now and we are adding more distractions to her obedience! We practiced her down stays while I was making some iced coffee. ☕️
If you practice downs in your house while your eating, cooking, or prepping anything for a good length of time then being at a coffee shop or restaurant will go a little smoother. 🙌🐕
Bowser and Barkley are still puppies but look at them go with their off leash training! 😎
We have them off leash heel together, stays and recall.
A reminder if you are going to have an off leash dog make sure you have a great recall! If you don’t have control of your dog on a leash how will you have control of them off leash 🧐.
We don’t do off leash stuff in public (leash laws!) but when we have an empt trail or park we will practice. 🐾🐾
We always have people ask what do we do when we take days off from training while dogs are with us or what do the dogs do when we aren’t training. 🐾
Here’s a fun video to show you what we do! If your dog is good playing with other dogs we have a play session. Now including a kiddie pool and a fun agility tunnel. Having different things for the dogs to do while playing with other dogs is great! Tank and Marley both learned the tunnel today just by following Valka. 🙌🐕
Now if your dog isn’t good with other dogs or doesn’t want anything to do with them then we of on course play with them and do what they love. Rickie for instance loves to cuddle and play with her little toy. 🥰
Echo has been with us for a week now!! We have started to add more distractions and training outside. He caught on right away and was spot on with all his obedience outside. 🐶
We have 2 more weeks to go with him and we’re excited to see how far we can take him in that time. 🙌🙌
Kobe had a trip to Home Depot today! He did great around all the distractions. His owners are doing such a great job keeping up his training these outtings just get easier and easier for everyone.
Furi has been with us for almost 2 weeks now. We got to go to the big park with more distractions today! She was nervous of all the new things but started to free up more at the end.
This week we will be doing a lot more outtings for her confidence building, she is still young so we are taking it slow as well.
Ollie has been with us for a week now! Today was his first day at the park. 🌳
The past week he’s becoming more dependent on me and seeing what I want him to do. At first he would just be blah and say no I’m good I’m not doing that, but pushing him to make him do stuff to get him out of his comfort zone has been getting better. 💪
We have one more week with him and we’re excited to see him keep making progress. 🐶
Nori has been with us for a week now and we have one more week to go! Today was her first day putting her stays to the test outside. She did amazing! We are excited to keep building up her obedience and manners.
Schuyler has been with us for almost 2 weeks now and she has made some great progress!
We are excited for her new adventure with her family when she heads home Tuesday. 🙌🐕
Tucker working at a bigger park with more distractions! He needed a lot of help with his sit and down but was getting faster. He’s still a little nervous and fearful in those environments but definitely getting confidence slowly.
Olive, Tucker, and Snickers have been with us for either a week or just a little over a week now. 🐾🐾
Olive and Tucker it took them a little time to come out of their shells to take treats and to trust me but we have made great progress. Olive goes home Saturday so we’re starting to add more distractions into her training. Tucker has 3 more weeks and has been getting more distractions as well. 🐶🐶
Snickers goes home Monday and he’s always liked food so he caught on quick for training. He does still have a puppy brain so he tries to see what he can get away with.🐕
Overall we are so happy with the progress everyone has made here in a week of training!
We haven’t posted a playing video in a while!!
Tucker got to meet Olive and Snickers today and all we can say is ZOOMIES!!!
Dax and Luna are almost to the end of their 2 week board and trains!
Dax has come a long way with his very energetic personality. Obedience has definitely helped make his mind be at a calmer mindset. 🐶
Luna has made a lot of progress with not jumping or pulling on the leash anymore! She also would get very distracted with other dogs because she wanted to play so bad, now she’s focusing more on her obedience. 🐕
Niko has been with us for almost 2 weeks now and we’re starting to go out into public more.
He’s a little nervous of things and started out a little slow with his obedience but overall we are proud of how far he has come! We have one more week with him and excited to see him progress more 🙌.
Bufurd and Bentley have both been with us for a week now! Today was their first time going to the park with some distractions. We met up with our friends Towse K9 Solutions to help with distractions for each other.
Bufurd worked on no barking at people or dogs as well as his obedience of course. We had to help him just a little bit with his stays but overall he was good. He did try to use his size to his advantage but soon found out that doesn’t work.
Bentley did great with his obedience at the park. He needed some help with his stays but that’s always to be expected with more distractions.
Pepper and Harley have been with for a week now! We have them for one more week and they’ve been making a lot of progress.
Pepper has made a lot of progress with her obedience and we are able to go to parks now which is amazing for just been training for a week with us. 🐶
Harley has made a lot of progress with working in higher distraction areas and focusing more on me. She’s getting a lot more solid holding her stays and heeling better. 🐕
Can your dog hold a down stay in big distractions like at the farmers market?! 🐶
Barkley and Bowser have been with us for 4 weeks now and they had the ultimate test of the farmers market today! They did such an amazing job and got so many compliments. A lot of people asked what breed they are and how old, for being almost 6 months they have made some amazing progress! We have one more week with them and we will be going on some more outtings. 🎉
All the dogs went on outtings today!
Barkley went to the Family Market and he’s made soooo much progress being here with us! First day at drop off he was lunging at cars, people, dogs, bikes, etc. now he’s walking past all that in a family market! 🙌🙌
Pepper and Kobe went to Mansel Park and there was a birthday party going on for some kids. At first they were a little distracted but nailed it in the end. 🎉
Kalli went to the family market as well and she was such a good girl trying to keep it together. She lovesss people and dogs way to much so her working through all those distractions was awesome. 🐕
Bowser and Barkley went to Petsmart, it was a little overwhelming at first but they worked through it. There was a lot of people and dogs today there and for them being almost 6 months old we are proud of them.😁
Rex went on a long walk around the neighborhood near some garage sales and did a great job!! 🐶
Barkley has been with us for 2 weeks now and he has one more week left. He came to us with a lot of reactivity towards dogs, people, cars, bikes, etc.
This week he will be getting a lot of exposure in different places for his training. He will still have a ways to go once home but having this strong foundation is a must for dogs like him. We are happy with the progress he has made this far!
Bowser and Barkley have been with us for 2 weeks now. They went to Mansel Carter Oasis park today with more distractions and they did amazing! We are so proud of their progress so far and we have 3 more weeks to go with them. 🐕🐶
Cooper and Kalli have been with us for about 5 days now and we are already working outside on their obedience! 🙌
We have slowly been adding more distractions in as you will see at the end of the video. Kalli and Cooper are on place joined with Bowser and Barkley while I wrap gifts. Next week we will be able to get them out around some more distractions. 🐶🐶
Gunner got to enjoy a night out in downtown Gilbert last night! 🐶
He went to Joyride while we ate dinner, he was a little nervous of the noises but making him work through everything made him feel more confident in the end. We worked on heeling next to the street, in the restaurant area, and next to the legion. He also worked on some off leash heeling next to the road (the leash was still on but in my pocket for safety reasons).
Gunner also worked on his down stays at the table at dinner, at the legion with all the loud noises, and under the water tower with a little event going on! 🐕
Poppy and Oakley have been with us for almost 2 weeks now! We have one more week left with them and we will be getting them out and about around people and dogs. 🐶
They got to train around our friend and her dog to work more on their reactivity. They both are fearful of people but did amazing with Eliza today! Watch until the end to see their interaction.🙌🙌
