We're finishing off Puppy DaySchool for this year and ending it in style with 3 graduating puppies! Our first is Yukon! Believe it or not, this big guy really is still a puppy. While we only had 4 short weeks with him, it's been a pleasure watching Yukon shoot up like a w**d! He's always down for a game of chase, loves working for any snacks you're sharing, and has made great improvements when it comes to greeting without jumping. We're so proud of you Yukon!

Over the past few months, we've been helping Jasper learn about being confident, and now that he's feeling a little more brave, we're ready to share just how far he's come! Jasper is a one year old English American Coonhound who was found as a stray before being brought to the Humane Society. After noticing some of his fears, they reached out to us for some help!

In Jasper's first session with us, his fear was very apparent. He was stressed, pacing frantically, vocalizing, and could not settle, ultimately resulting in Kailey ending their session early to avoid continuing to stress this poor kid out. They took a break from training so that his veterinarian could make recommendations on anti-anxiety medication. With added support on board, Jasper started DayTraining sessions. While he was initially a little worried, it was nowhere near the stress we saw in the first session, and after a few minutes he proved that he really loves training! He practiced skills like polite leash walking, stay, and place on a mat (his personal favorite!). At home, his mom is working on getting him more comfortable walking him in his neighborhood and building a stronger, more reliable recall.

We are overjoyed to see Jasper grow from a dog in a panic at the training center to one who is happy to train (especially if there's some cheese in it for him 😉). We hope you are just as proud of him as we are!!

As we move swiftly towards the end of 2025 and hold our last staff meeting of the year, it's feeling like the end of an era here at Practical Obedience. While we've had team members come and go in the last decade, nothing feels more like "breaking up the band" than saying goodbye to one of our original crew.

We saddened to share Connie will be leaving our training team in pursuit of new opportunities closer to home. For 8.5 years, from in-home training through two different training centers, through multiple team additions and changes, Connie has been an asset to our team and community. We'll miss having her veterinary expertise as well as her compassion and skills as a trainer.

Connie is wrapping up all her current clients before the holidays and we have a transition plan in place for any past or current clients who have had the pleasure of working with her. You can reach out through all the regular channels if you have questions or concerns but rest assured we're here to support you - and Connie - as she ends this chapter with us.

Socialization in Puppy DaySchool is not just about meeting new people and dogs, it's so much more! Our program focuses on building positive feelings towards any and everything that your pup will encounter in their life (baths, brushing, grooming, and all the works). We recently had a few of our fluffy pups go through the big milestone of their very first grooming appointments. For some it was a little confusing, loud, and somewhat scary. There's a lot for a young puppy to take in from a brand new environment to a noisy shaver coming close to their face!

We're thankful that these families reached out after their first appointments to update us on how it went and what could have gone better. That gave us a chance to support each puppy here at school with the things that they need the most help with. We were able to break down each step to build confidence and positive associations to something that may have been a little scary before. When they learn that the shavers aren't monsters and the dryers won't blow them away, it sets them up for a lifetime of stress-free grooming.

One behavior client of ours who deserves a little extra love is Miss Rosie! Rosie came to us with a big list of behavioral concerns, most of which centered around her reactivity and aggression towards humans and other dogs. This coupled with some poor advice from a previous trainer left Rosie and her family struggling with how to handle her serious behaviors while living in an apartment. The good news is they reached out to us and Kailey was able to set them on the right track!

Rosie's first session at the training center was a challenging one. She spent most of the time on the other side of the room, barking at Kailey. She wasn't interested in making friends, so much of the session was focused on ensuring her family felt comfortable following our plans with Kailey as their first practice. They took this training seriously and did some great work at home, so when Rosie came back the next time, she was far, far less reactive and able to learn much more easily. The purpose of our training is to make scenarios predictable, so Rosie can know exactly what to expect when encountering a new person or dog. This approach paid off and by their last session, Rosie had warmed up to the idea of taking cheese from Kailey and was able to train around another dog without giving any mind to the trainer! It wasn't an easy journey, but Rosie's family's commitment to following the plan has made interactions much easier for her, and we couldn't be happy to be the ones to help her get there!

We can hardly believe that it's time for this little tike to graduate! Miss Lilith has been nothing short of an absolute doll in her 8 weeks with us. She went from a slightly shy pup to one who has no hesitation wrestling with the big kids (no doubt thanks to all the playtime she gets at home with her Great Dane brother, Gus)! Each week she got a little more brave meeting folks on her field trips. And she's especially managed all of the surfaces and will happily mount the stairs or hop into the ball pit. We're going to miss every bit of Lili's s***k, sass, and snuggles in Puppy DaySchool!
