📋 Day Train Roll Call – This Week’s Good Dogs! 🐾

We’ve got a focused, hard-working crew (of ALL puppies) in our day training program this week — each pup is working toward better communication, more confidence, and real-life reliability.

🐶 Amalfi the Havanese
Don’t let the smile fool you — he’s here for some behavior modification to help with fear-based reactivity toward strangers. We’re focusing on building more public neutrality, boosting confidence, and introducing ecollar work to support long-term success and communication.

🐕 Shelby the Mini Goldendoodle
Shelby is here to address a lack of confidence due to her own fear-based reactivity and some resource guarding habits (yes, that includes favorite socks, bones, and anything she thinks is worth protecting). With structure, clarity, and the help of a communication-based tool, we’re laying the groundwork for a calmer, more confident pup.

🦴 Tank the Golden Retriever
Tank’s here from out of town and while his family enjoys their days at the beach, he’s spending the week focusing on his leash manners and recall — two big pieces of the puzzle that will help set him up to become more reliable and responsive, especially with all that youthful golden energy!

💬 DID YOU KNOW? Our day train program is tailored to each dog’s individual needs, whether they’re working through behavioral concerns or just building a stronger foundation. Training days include structured sessions, social exposure, obedience, and plenty of opportunities to practice in real-world settings.
