Introducing our newest board and train student: BIRDIE!! 🐥
Birdie is an 11 month old silver lab enrolled in our 3 week Advanced Obedience Board and Train program. Birdie’s parents came our way after seeing the amazing results their parents’ dog Zews had when he trained with us last year! (If you don’t remember him, scroll back to check out his gorgeous face)! They knew that their dog could use the same manners and obedience that Zews received.
Birdie is your very typical young lab. She’s overly friendly with people and dogs, quick to become overly excited, pulls like CRAZY on the leash, puts things in her mouth that she shouldn’t, and struggles to listen or demonstrate manners or personal space when new people or dogs are around. She means well and she truly loves people and dogs, but she was even removed from daycare because her energy level was creating issues for the other dogs and staff.
In our 3 weeks together, Birdie will learn some muucchhhhhh needed impulse control and manners. She’ll learn the basics of obedience to keep her brain engaged and thinking, and to help her family manage her overexcitement. We plan to work around people, other dogs, and in tons of new environments and situations to ensure that regardless of what’s around her, she’s able to stay calm and focused. Stay tuned to watch her progress as she trains AND plays both barn hunt and scent work! 🩵
