Pick out a cute dog costume and get into the Halloween spirit!

Through the month of October we will share some of our favorite tips for getting your pups into their costumes. We will use cooperative body handling techniques; no tricks and lots of treats, please!

We would love to see your progress along the way and of course your adorable pups looking spook-tacular🎃👻. Tag us with so we can see all of the pups in one place.

Have you stopped to smell the flowers recently? Your dog definitely should! Dogs explore the world through their sense of smell — so give them time to sniff.

Research shows that sniffing can lower stress, build confidence, and lead to a more fulfilling and tiring outing for our canine friends. (Check out the research that Horowitz did on dogs’ smell drive!) We like to think about dog-centered outings as ‘sniffs’ not ‘walks’. The priority for our pups is definitely on getting that nose working.

Getting our dogs to disengage on cue from something they find interesting can be a life-saving skill, or at least very convenient skill. Strange smelly mysterious substance? Potentially dangerous item? No thank you!

There are many ways to train a ‘leave it’. This particular method uses a classically conditioned foundation to help our dogs be successful in more automatically reorienting to us (the people with opposable thumbs and yummy things.)

Share your process or results with us!

If you’ve been in Puppy Playtimes with us, you know managing the play groups and teaching both puppies and humans about appropriate play is our passion!

Our trainers love when we eavesdrop on the playgroup next door and hear clients narrating and managing with skill and confidence.

There’s a lot to say about dogs and sniffing! (More than one instagram post that’s for sure🤓)

One thing we often see in playtime is puppies approaching each other to sniff the nose and rear. It’s an important part of how our pups gain information about each other, and can lead to more interactions like parallel play and even wrestling once their confidence grows!

Beers, Bites, Pups, and an incredible mission!
assistance.dogs helps expand access to assistance dogs by helping owners/handlers train their own dogs using positive, ethical methods.

When our clients let us know they’re working toward assistance training, we happily refer them to Atlas for the intensive and specific skills the dogs and handlers will need to achieve their goals!

Our trainer Kara will be there supporting Atlas for their second annual fundraiser and would love to say hi when you swing by!

From our Senior Trainer Kara:
“One thing I love about Growly Dog Clinic is how mellow and less reactive my dog CJ is afterwards! 🐾”

We often hear clients say Clinic, a progression class in our Growly Program, sets their dogs up for a much calmer week where they’re able to handle and process triggers better in their day-to-day environment.

We do know that if CJ (pit bull/border collie mix) can be calm, that says something!
