Sammie Jo came back for some advanced training and is so much calmer everywhere she goes. When she wasn’t out on the town, she loved making friends with the cows when they came up for their evening snacks back at the ranch. Always a joy to be a home away from home for our training dogs when their people travel. 💕

Duke, an adorable adolescent English Cream Golden, just graduated from basic obedience board and train. He’s a big powerful boy who had already learned to throw his weight around to get his way. Being calm and consistent rather than taking the bait for a physical battle resonated with him and he started to seek out better choices. Now he walks politely on a leash, happily lays on his place, and waits calmly for his meals.

This is the fourth dog we’ve trained for the Craig family and every single one of their dogs has needed a different approach. All the cues are the same so it will be easy to maintain at home but the path to get there varied with each dog. Thank you for the repeat business and trust in figuring out what’s best for each dog. ❤️

Bacci, a handsome young Vizsla, recently graduated from our Basic Obedience Board and Train. He’s incredibly smart but had very little focus or patience and tended to self indulge every chance he got. He learned to engage with his handler, ignore distractions, build duration in his obedience cues and nosework, and wait politely for attention. He’s absolutely delightful and still kept his exuberant spirit; he’s now just able to channel it into good choices and not naughty ones. Keep up the good work, sweet boy! ❤️

Lido, an adorable golden retriever, just graduated our behavioral board and train. She’s as smart as she is cute and she learned to sneak around, steal, and get sassy to the point of causing her household severe distress. During her stay, she was taught to regulate herself better with structure and learned a clear language for what was acceptable, what wasn’t, and how to ask for what she wants politely. Over the course of her program we did progress lessons so she could have successful experiences on her home turf and it public. She’s more confident, more affectionate, and happily cooperative now. She now has tools to help manage her stressful moments with calm familiarity and trust and everyone involved is much happier. Congratulations, sweet girl and keep making the best choices. 💕

Catching up on July graduates! Miss Georgia, a “lab mix” puppy that’s probably actually a cattle bred cur, came to polish up her obedience and social skills. She was slow to warm up but once I earned her trust and respect, I was able to significantly improve her obedience and focus. She is as smart as can be and incredibly independent, and would rather hunt and protect her territory than take direction from her people. Now she has a clear understanding of yes and no, and trusts her humans to have good advice about activities that might get her in trouble, and can enjoy off leash activities without a risk of her running off or catching small prey. She still LOVES her people but now she’s a team player. Great job, Georgie girl! ❤️

Little Possum is growing fast! His mom is doing a super job using free shaping to mark and reward behaviors. He’s eager to please and methodical so this method works well and empowers him to work for his rewards. We’ve been working on his husbandry behaviors and he’s doing great with the dremel and being handled. He has a super temperment and a ton of drive and personality. He got an awesome home and is doing great things. ❤️

Reggie just completed his one week recall camp. His mom put on a great foundation but he’s reached the teenage stage where he’d rather weigh his options than respond to cues. We spent the week making coming when called his best possible option and now he can enjoy his beautiful yard and neighboring trails with a reliable off leash recall. Single issue camps are great for dogs who just need help in one area where we can focus and help them shine! ❤️

Jenny graduated from a three week board and train program and made quite the turn around. She’s a sweet and expressive dog but struggled with excitement and anxious energy. She was overwhelmed in puppy class with so many competing motivators and her anxiety and confusion made her worried when she should have been learning. Traditional, common solutions like using higher value treats actually made her behavior worse. I saw this in the evaluation and decided to take food out of the picture except for meal time and the conflict faded. With verbal praise, petting, and light leash pressure cues, she happily worked through her obedience and confidence building exercises. Food came to her in a predictable fashion to the point it became boring and no longer a reason to panic. It also set a clear boundary that that any food found outside of that routine wasn’t hers and she quit worrying about that, too. Great job sweet girl! And thank you to her family for trusting me to solve their little puzzle puppy. Seeing her grow happy and confident and into a dog they can enjoy has been worth all the work! ❤️

We get a lot of questions about when owners can stop using a certain training tool or asked about new training with a different type of collar or harness. A refresher during boarding or a virtual skills check to make sure the dog is clear on what the leash communicates is *usually* all the extra training time the dog needs before we give you an easy to follow transition process to use at home.

Wylee enjoyed a long weekend exploring our acreage and had a refresher on his leash manners and will be ready to continue his switch over from prong to martingale collar at home.

*The exception to this process is adding a remote collar system, which is more nuanced and needs significant training time invested to learn properly. But the foundation to good communication with your dog is a clear understanding of leash pressure and well timed cues, rewards, and consequences to make your expectations clear. Once your dog learns to learn, you have the skills to show them new things in a clear way.

Jenny, a 7 month old golden retriever, is here for basic obedience and manners. We are especially focused on her impulse control and building a communication system without conflict so she can meet her owners expectations with confidence. So far she’s settling in nicely and enjoying a day if decompression before we start school. ❤️
