Get to have these handsome boys stay with us for a bit! Frank (Right) has done our Board and Train program and Winston (left) did lessons with us in the past. I love it when clients come back for regular boarding!

Moose graduated with flying colors and went home on Saturday. My favorite part about this is seeing pup parents finally get to enjoy life more easily with their dog. Whether its through building confidence, working on obedience and impulse control (especially around ducks and squirrels for this guy!) Or a mix of all of the above!

Way to go Moose!! 🐾

Meet Moose!

Moose is an 11 month old Pointer thatd FULL of puppy energy. He pulls, jumps, knows some commands but doesnt always hold them or listen depending on the distractions around him. So he gets to come to school while they go on vacation!

Meet W***y!! W***y is a terrier mix pup whose doing our 3 week board and train to work on strengthening his obedience as well as reactivity towards other dogs.

He is about a week in so far and has already been making great progress. This week we'll be introducing the ecollar and building up to working around bigger distractions and other dogs!

This is Fig and he just graduated from our 3 week Board and Train program!

Fig is a rescue that is under a year old and is the new brother to Sass, a pup who graduated our board & train towards the end of last year.

Despite missing a back leg, Fig is still a typical high energy, young, husky that still really needed to learn basic manners. He struggled with impulse control and needed to learn to settle, recall, leash manners, and to listen around big distractions.

He is such a fun and smart pup to work with and the husky attitude always makes training a little more entertaining. Now he is doing great back at home. Im excited for our follow up lessons with his sister!

Meet Oakley!! He is almost done with his Board and Train here and we will be sad to see this.sweet goofy guy go. He is a fast learner and picks up new commands quickly but definitely needed help with working on his impulse control! Im proud of how far he's come already. We cant wait to show off to his family at the end of the week!!

One more week to go for Frankie! He’s made so much progress and has built up a ton of confidence, learned to listen around other dogs, practiced a lot of impulse control and manners while playing! This final week, we’ll continue to build up on those skills and more. Good job Frank!

My best training assistant. 💕

What’s your favorite breed and why?

Copper is a purebred Dalmatian- a breed I always loved but grew even more interested in once I began working with dogs and really learning about dog breeds.

Did you know before they were firedogs, they were carriage dogs?
They ran along side carriages and horses on long treks. They helped guard the horses and carriage. They’re bred to get on well with horses and run along side them, the carriage or under carriages!

Then in cities they were starting to use them ahead of the horses of firemen to help clear the path! (Like sirens). They’ve also been used for and done well with hunting. They’re smart, versatile, energetic, and have amazing endurance. They’re also pretty handler focused and not as interested in meeting other people as a lab or husky might be. They make amazing hiking companions and good family dogs. Most I know of are big cuddlers too. That being said they are definitely more work than a happy go lucky lab or golden (unless you get a field line).

They do have a somewhat bad reputation due to a lot of backyard breeding and breed popularity when 101 Dalmatians came out. Just like heelers, shepherds, or any other high energy working breed - they’re more likely to be anxious, reactive, and get into trouble when their needs aren’t met! If you don’t find an outlet for all that energy and give mental stimulation, they’ll find their own vices for it!

Understanding your dogs breed(s) helps you understand their behaviors, the type of play they’d likely like best, how independent or handler focused they are, biddability, and even how you work with them when training!

Franklin (the Rottweiler) has gained a lot of confidence since coming here a week ago! Before the only other dog he’s known has been his older brother. He’s only been here a week, and just got to the point of being ready to be out with the whole group, instead of just one at a time. Can’t wait to see his progress continue!!

Hello Franklin 💕

This handsome pup is here for a board & train. He’s a big puppy and is at the age where he is retesting boundaries at home. While Frank is here, his owners are also working with his big brother at home through lessons.
Living with your dog should be easy & add to your life (and theirs)!
