Strengthening the bond, one session at a time! 🐾Today, Cosmo and I hit the park to work on trust, engagement, and focus in a new environment. Before addressing his specific behavior challenges, we’re laying the foundation with relationship-building—because great training starts with a strong connection.

Cosmo’s owners want to improve:
✔️ Loose-leash walking
✔️ Preventing digging & plant-pulling
✔️ Reducing rough play with his siblings

By prioritizing our bond first, we’re setting him up for lasting success.

🐾 Meet Miss Taylor! 🐾

This gorgeous 1-year-old Belgian Malinois/Shepherd mix is here for day training, and we’re so excited to help her grow into her best self!

Her parents’ main goals are improving her behavior and temperament around other dogs. Taylor gets a bit anxious and vocal when she sees other dogs, and while she has cohabitated well with smaller pups, she’s shown some aggressive tendencies with larger dogs.

Our focus with Taylor is teaching her how to stay calm, build confidence, and respond appropriately in these situations. She’s already making strides, and we’re so proud of her progress so far! Stay tuned as Miss Taylor continues to shine. 🐶✨

- **Leash manners**: Reducing pulling and improving focus on walks.
- **Home behavior**: Addressing his reactions around family members and even the cats!

We’re so excited to help Koda build the skills he needs to be a calmer, happier, and more balanced pup. Stay tuned for updates on this handsome guy’s progress! 🐶✨
