BIG WINS for the True North students this past weekend at Evergreen Disc Dog’s Updog trial!

🏆Congratulations to Ripley the BorderWhippet for coming home with throwing games champion and a top 3 placement in five of six games!

🏆Big wins for Dugan the Cattle Dog mix for practicing mindfulness and maintaining self preservation in his games AND going home with a top 3 placement in one of his games!

🏆Congratulations to Saru the Mcnab (not pictured) for only playing a couple of games and still winning first in one of them!

🏆Last but not least, baby Malinois Metiche came to play and took reserve champion of his division and a top 3 placement in four games! This (big) little guy just celebrated his first birthday!

I’m so happy I got to play with a couple of these dogs in the trial but even happier to watch these teams come together after all their hard work! They’re having fun out there and that’s the most important part….but the ribbons are nice too!

Hey there folks! We’ve made some exciting changes and we’re finally ready to share them with you! 🎉

We’ve restructured our services a bit to make things easier, more flexible, and more focused on what you actually need!

Here’s what’s new:

💻 Virtual Options got a big upgrade!
We’re now offering both Video Lessons and our brand new Trainer on Retainer membership!

Trainer on Retainer gives you insider access to other folks on their training journeys, including myself! This subscription based service is all about flexibility! You come and go as it fits your life and your training goals!
• Have a puppy and questions that change every week? Stay with us as long as you need.
• Feeling confident and just need a tune-up down the road? Pop back in when you’re ready!

📍 In-Person Private Lessons have been updated too!
We’ve split things up so manners and real-life skills are now separate from our dog sport offerings. This means a clearer, more customized path whether you’re working on polite greetings or prepping for your first trial.

🏡Board & Trains + Field Trips are now add-on options for current or former private lesson clients! These are perfect if you’re looking for an extra boost, extra practice, or need help in specific environments, but now they’re part of a bigger, more connected plan!

🎓 Workshops + Webinars have their own easy-to-navigate space on our website now! If you’re looking to dig into specific topics (like intro to dog sports, toy play skills, or ways to advocate for your dog) check in regularly to see whats on the schedule!

📫 Our inquiries are now being responded to on a set schedule! Every Monday and Thursday is when new folks will hear back from us so we can prioritize focus in current clients those other days!

All of these updates are live on our website, go check it out! Explore what fits your needs, and as always, reach out with questions!

We’re so excited to keep growing with you and your dogs and we’re so thankful to everyone who has supported us along the way!

Meet Maki!

This adorable Shiba Inu puppy is working with us on all of her puppy life skills! From mouthing during teething to learning to leash walk, the world is a big place and it’s our job to teach our puppy that we’ve got their back as they mature! Getting a jumpstart on training at this age helps set Maki up for long term success, she’ll be able to fall back onto this training for her entire life!

Meet Frenzy🌪️ She’s an aptly named one year old Belgian Malinois! This leggy lady is working through her teenage feelings and building foundations for a future in dog sports!

During adolescence, struggles with behavioral challenges and resistance to training, are a normal part of the developmental process! This phase, characterized by hormonal changes and increased independence, can be very disheartening for pet owners. However, with patience, consistency, and some empathy, most dogs overcome these challenges and mature into great canine counterpart’s! What did your dog struggle with when they were angsty teens?

We talk about this in our lessons a ton but this is a great comprehensive guide for why! Making sure that our dogs are c...

We talk about this in our lessons a ton but this is a great comprehensive guide for why!

Making sure that our dogs are comfortable mentally AND physically should be top of our priority list! Symptoms of pain can look like sudden behavior changes, regression with lifestyle skills, or aversions to seemingly random things and activities. We should always keep the full picture in mind when working with our canine companions to set them up for the most success!

Meet Jarvis!

This Corgi dude and his handler have worked his dog reactivity feelings to the point where they’re ready for bigger goals!

He’s right on his way to getting his CGCA and CGCU! He’s also been building the skills to compete in Rally, a competitive obedience sport. Rally requires dogs to complete a course of obedience tasks swiftly and precisely for points!

This is definitely a team to watch and I can’t wait to see them succeed!

Congratulations Erin and Arlo on completing your CGC and TKN certification! It's been so fun to see your progress and hard work in overcoming Arlo's challenges with car chasing and dog reactivity.

For those who are unfamiliar, the CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and TKN (Trick Dog Novice) certifications are an excellent way to demonstrate your dog's training and obedience skills. The CGC shows that your dog can follow basic commands and behave well in public, while the TKN showcases your dog's ability to perform specific tricks and commands.

These certifications can be incredibly beneficial for both you and your dog. They can even lower your homeowner's insurance rates! Additionally, they can be a great way to bond with your dog and showcase their unique abilities.

Congratulations again to Erin and Arlo on this amazing accomplishment! We wish you all the best in your continued training and look forward to seeing all that you both will achieve in the future!

If you’re interested in pursuing your CGC or Trick titles contact us today!

Meet Nilla! 🐾

Nilla is an Australian Shepherd with big feelings about the world!

She’s doing a Board and Train with us to recondition negative feelings and learn ways she can enjoy the world! We’re working on creating better alternatives to dog and human reactivity, practicing emotional regulation, muzzle training, and learning to settle in the home!

Nilla does have a bite history, which means it’s important for us to get her on a realistic routine and training plan to prevent any potential future injuries. We know she can stress easily so a fair clear training plan is essential to prevent unnecessary stress and start her on the right foot!

Nilla’s got this! 👏🏼
