Yogi graduated! 🐻

He’s a 2 year old Chow Chow/Pittie mix who joined us for our 2-week “Give Me Peace & Unity” Board & Train program. This adorable boy was a stray in Texas and recently adopted by his foster family in Maine! He was here to learn better listening skills and build his confidence as he was rather aloof, in his own world, and wouldn’t listen to verbal cue even his own name.

During his stay we worked on:
〰️ Leash communication
↔️ Pressure awareness and response
📚 Teaching basic commands
✋ Enforcing rules likes boundary respect
👋 Handler engagement and respect
😴 Holding place with distractions
🚫 Stopping unwanted choices with clear rules
💚 Ecollar communication and recall
🙌 Socialization around others
💡 Creating new coping skills
🔊 Sound conditioning and resilience
🐓 Increasing impulse control
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced routine

Yogi made such a turnaround from ignoring directions to responding consistently and having fun engaging with people! He was able to conquer intimidating challenges with added confidence from predictable leadership. His family had fun practicing new skills and learning how to continue strengthening their teamwork together. So proud of Yogi’s progress and of his family for their dedication to his training! Wishing them many happy adventures together with a more peaceful companion.

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, YOGI! 🎓

Miley graduated! 🐕

She’s a 1 year old Yorkie mix who joined us for our 2-week “Give Me Peace & Unity” Board & Train program. This rambunctious girl is high-energy and had a hard time settling down leading to excessive chewing in the home including furniture/flooring and stealing items. She also pulled hard on the leash, was very impulsive, and lacked listening skills.

During her stay we worked on:
〰️ Leash communication to stop pulling
🎾 Enrichment activities and structured playtime
📚 Teaching basic commands
✋ Enforcing rules likes boundary respect
🧘‍♂️ Improving energy regulation ability
😴 Calm on command with distractions
🚫 Correcting unwanted choices like chewing/stealing household items
💚 Ecollar communication and recall
🐶 Socialization around others
💡 Creating new coping skills
🐱 Increasing impulse control
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced routine

Miley did a great job targeting her energy when working and learning an “off” switch during downtime! She’s making better choices around tempting items and truly enjoys having jobs to do. Her family did a great job as we got her settled back home with new rules and a more fulfilling routine. We’re very proud of Miley’s progress and of her family for getting the help they needed! Now the real work starts back at home where they can build healthier long-term habits together.

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, MILEY! 🎓

Is your dog’s behavior embarrassing in public❓🥺

Instead of pulling or barking at everyone, we love helping dogs like Yogi and Miley learn more polite habits. Our family-dog Board & Train programs are designed to first build a solid foundation of expectations that we then use to expand their skillset in real-world settings and scenarios. Clear and consistent leadership is helping these two become more reliable and confident no matter where they go.

Good job, Miley & Yogi! 🐾❤️😍

Giving your dog rules and boundaries can allow them to have a bigger life! 🌎

Instead of getting dragged around or having to stay home because outings with your dog are too stressful or unsafe, we can provide them with the training they need to earn more freedom so you can truly enjoy your time together. All of our daily practice in and outside of the home is preparation for real-world listening skills around the often unpredictable distractions in different settings. Whether we’re navigating downtown or enjoying a hike — having a PUPS trained dog makes life easier and more fun for everyone.

Good job, Yogi & Miley! 🐾❤️🐕

Recent PUPS Grad Blaze is already off to a wonderful start back at home! 😍

Instead of staying reactive and fearful he is now thoughtful and brave. 🌟 There are so many benefits of our balanced and relationship-based training. Our techniques and programs are designed to ultimately give families more freedom and versatility with their canine companions.

Empowering people to communicate with their dogs and enjoy life more as a team, truly fills our hearts. We’re so proud of our clients that continue the work and eternally grateful for those that take the time to leave us a review. ❤️🐾

Rina graduated! 🙌

She’s a 1 year old Shepherd mix who joined us for our 4-week “Save My Dog” Board & Train program. This beautiful girl was quite the handful! She pulled very heavily on leash and was very reactive to others — this made walking her nearly impossible and even dangerous (she’d injured one of her owners in the past from pulling). She would also jump and mouth persistently, had broken out of a crate, and was very pushy and impulsive overall.

During her stay we worked on:
🚫 Fairly correcting unsafe actions
▶️ Providing clear directions
🎯 Targeting energy with structured play
〰️ Leash communication
📚 Fine-tuning basic commands
👏 Task fulfillment for mental clarity
✋ Boundary respect
📊 Regulating choices in various settings
🚗 Travel manners in the car with down
🧘‍♂️ Mental control with place
💚 Ecollar conditioning
😴 Kennel conditioning
🩺 Vet handling conditioning
↔️ Spatial conditioning and awareness
❤️‍🩹 Building a new perspective of her role
😁 Continued muzzle conditioning
🐕 Healthy socialization and respect
🌲 Hiking and trail etiquette
🐾 Emotional regulation around others
👀 Proofing choices around real-world triggers
💪 Treadmill training
🧁 Increasing impulse control
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
💫 Enrichment activities
✌️ Relaxation massage/exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced schedule

Rina is THRIVING with clear feedback and directions! It was amazing to see her transformation from a dog that couldn’t be trusted or walked safely to one that was an absolute blast and truly enjoy all kinds of adventures with. Her family did great completing their “homework” and during their training sessions where we discussed all of the facets of a balanced lifestyle while practicing handling techniques. We’re so proud of Rina’s progress and of her family for getting the help they needed! They were very excited to have her back now that they can make memories with a more versatile companion.

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, RINA! 🎓

At PUPS, we don’t only train dogs…we train YOU! 🫵

Halfway through a dog’s program we have their families join us for training and hands-on coaching. This gives them the opportunity to practice new techniques, make mistakes, and figure out what changes need to be made to prepare for a successful transition back home. It also gives us a chance to observe each team’s dynamic together and make adjustment based on their needs. For many, it’s their very first time efficiently communicating with their dog and setting healthy expectations.

Good job, Miley & Yogi! 🐾❤️🥰

Is your reactive dog making walks miserable? 😩

We can help! 🤗 It’s such a pleasure getting dogs out of a negative head space and into their true potential. We start by implementing structure and a balanced routine that’s practiced on a daily basis. This doesn’t mean we do the same exact thing at the same exact time everyday! It does mean that we enforce the same rules and follow through when we do certain things. This prepares them for better skills in public or when working around triggers.

Having rules and respect means we get to enjoy MORE fun and games together! We incorporate warm up exercises, walking manners, down time, active play, quick repetition commands, trigger setups, and followthrough practice in different settings. Dogs can become more well-rounded, confident, and reliable when they have consistent guidance and leadership.

Good girl, Rina! 🐾❤️🤩

Tilly graduated! 🐶

She’s a 7 year old Great Pyrenees/Rottweiler mix who joined us for our 4-week “Save My Dog” Board & Train program. This sweet girl was here to work on her manners around other dogs and curb some separation anxiety! She’s been dominant with dogs in the past and as she matured her tolerance had drastically dwindled resulting in aggression, unprovoked attacks, and bites to other dogs.

During her stay we worked on:
▶️ Providing clear directions
〰️ Leash communication
📚 Fine-tuning basic commands
✋ Boundary respect
🚫 Fairly correcting unsafe actions
📊 Regulating choices in various settings
🚗 Travel manners in the car with down
🧘‍♂️ Mental control with place
💚 Ecollar conditioning
😴 Kennel conditioning
🧘 Double-down to break anxiety cycles
↔️ Spatial conditioning and awareness
❤️‍🩹 Building a new perspective of her role
😁 Continued muzzle conditioning
🐕 Healthy socialization cues
🌲 Hiking and trail etiquette
🐾 Coping skills around others
👀 Proofing commands around real-world distractions
💪 Treadmill training
🐱 Increasing impulse control
🧗‍♀️ Confidence building exercises
💫 Enrichment activities
✌️ Relaxation massage/exercises
⚖️ Peaceful living with a balanced schedule

Tilly is much more reliable, even around other dogs, now that she has dependable leadership! She learned to love the new routine, built confidence through predictability, and was able to safely interact with many new dogs knowing she could trust her caretakers to advocate for her needs. Her family did well during their training sessions where we discussed all of the facets of a balanced lifestyle and practiced handling techniques. We’re very proud of Tilly’s progress and of her family for getting the help they needed! Having clear communication will make a world of a difference now that they have the means to do so effectively.

❤️ CONGRATULATIONS, TILLY! 🎓

Want to know the “secret” to having a calmer canine? 🤫

Not all dogs are born with the natural ability to calm themselves! Just like people, some dogs have a harder time relaxing than others. By patterning designating down time in between activities, we can help dogs gain the ability to have more mental control and clarity. This can reduce stressful behavior like reactivity and separation anxiety while increasing beneficial habits like energy regulation and impulse control.

Good job, Yogi & Miley! 🐾❤️🐕

Are you accidentally teaching your dog to pull on the leash? 🙈

🔴 When dogs pull on the leash (creating pressure) and you yield by walking with them they can quickly learn that the harder they pull the more likely it is that you’ll give in and allow them to get to where they want to go. This can lead to constant tension, frustration, and even injury.

🟡 Instead of pulling, we teach dogs to remove leash pressure themselves by yielding and coming towards it. The leash is kept slack when they make the right choice! This understanding of pressure on/off becomes a new language that can then form directional communication.

🟢 Patterning leash pressure with movement or more advanced tools like an Ecollar builds manners both on and off leash! We can teach dogs exactly what our expectations are for less confusion and more confidence while learning.

Good job, Miley & Yogi! 🐾❤️😍

Is your pup becoming more reactive? 🫣

Instead of letting these moments develop into long-term problems, getting training while they’re young can give you the ability to give them better support and strengthen your teamwork together overall.

Zolli is a 1 year old German Shepherd who will be joining us for a Board & Train later this year! We recently met up with her and her mom to practice manners and build engagement at a public park. Current PUPS student Rina, also tagged along as we utilized our surroundings to build their skills near triggers like other people and dogs.

Good girl, Zolli! 🐾❤️🌻
