Ranger, our newest board and train client, is an 8month old retriever who will be with us for the next 5-6 weeks. This boy is starting off at a great age and you know we HAVE to begin with marker loading. Here is our first marker/clicker loading session.

Who’s the goodest Max?

Let’s play “The Name Game”.

The name game is such a simple yet extremely powerful game to play with your dog.

Think about it, how often do you use your dogs name in a negative context and compare that with how often you use it in a positive context. Most of the time it’s the first one.

But, what word are you going to use in a stressful situation when you lose the leash, the dog bolts out the door or through the gate, or maybe comes out of the vehicle to fast? You’re going to use the dogs name in that stressful moment.

So we are simply creating a positive association to the dogs name. So they know, when they hear that, they have a guarantee of getting something of high value.

Give this a shot, give me 5 minutes a day for at least the next 5-7 days and I almost promise you’ll begin to see a change in response to the dogs own name.

This is the response we want from the clicker or any other marker. The “slam the breaks and get THE F back to the reward source” kind of response.

Lazy Sunday dog training. We are marker loading with Max. Max is not food motivated for his own kibble and to make matters better he is afraid of his own shadow and every noise…ever. So we need to take things slow with him. I am sitting on the couch watching the Eagles destroy the Cowboys and dog training at the same time. It can be that simple

Ok, I can’t ask just one, but here are a few.

Did I even come close to showing you the amount of love you showed me?

Why in Gods name did you eat that charcoal?

Did you really enjoy eating into that bag of concreted or were you just trying to get attention?!

Do you even enjoy grass or do you enjoy puking it up and watching me clean it?

Why do you do the things you do?!

Why do you have to pick 230am to lick yourself knowing it wakes me out of a dead sleep every time?!?!?!?

Will you really be there to greet me when I finally get to see you again?

03/17/2024

This guy has been my main Dude for the last 6 weeks. Nash is such an amazing dog with an unknown story, but we were able to overcome a lot of obstacles and show this boy that the world isn’t such a bad place and he is very much loved and cared for. Nash graduated from our VIP Board and Train today and I cannot wait to see how he grows with his amazing family. ____________________________________

Cost for this program is $200. This cost will cover 8 sessions and includes a training pouch, clicker, and rewards for the first class. We do ask that if dogs have a specific food allergy or sensitivity that owners provide their own food. At the completion of the program owners/puppies will have the ability to try for the A.K.C. STAR Puppy for a small fee-payable to the outside evaluator not affiliated with TN PRO K9.

We will offer discounts for multiple family dogs and for referrals.
