Missing warmer days and training outdoors! Winter in Chicago is a difficult time to address all the various aspects of our dogs' behavioral needs, especially when we're limited to working mainly indoors.
A key part of our routine is meeting once a week with other trainer friends to work on our personal dog's skills for protection sports. This keeps us on track and gives us goals to set for our own training, which is important for us as a hobby outside of our business. This in turn also makes us better at planning sessions and managing progress with our client dogs. We are very proud of our ability to create sharp, reliable behaviors on our sport dogs as well as pet dogs. When we detail our training plans, trust that we have a reason for telling you to focus on one thing over another--or that certain parts of the behavior will come with time. It helps that Mike and I have a handful of High Obedience and High in Trial trophies/plaques too 😉
