ROSIE (1yr Bernedoodle) completed her Puppy Basic Obedience Course yesterday. Michelle and Dennis brought Rosie into their family when she was 8 weeks old. They worked with her on a few commands but felt it was now time to include some professional help. She had selective hearing, was mouthing, jumping, and pulling on the leash. We fine-tuned whatever commands they had been working on, as well as introduced all the ones she didn't know. We definitely learned how to eliminate mouthing and jumping. Walking was also a part of the curriculum. It was most important to strengthen Michelle's and Dennis' leadership skills, as Rosie needed to see them as strong Pack Leaders. I believe all that was set out to accomplish has been done. Now it's practice, practice, practice! Be patient, be consistent, use calm assertive commands, follow through, and always use positive reinforcement!
Kudos to all!!

BANDIT (11mo Australian Cattle Dog) completed his Puppy Basic Obedience Course on 6-2-26. Alison and Tony had done some personal training with him but finally decided to get a little more help from a professional trainer. Not only for Bandit but for themselves as well. He has learned every command, is quite good at them, but does need a very strong, assertive Pack Leader. Alison and Tony worked on themselves as well, strengthening their leadership skills. It definitely was a win-win situation. Kudos for all three.

ARES (4mo GSD) completed his Puppy Basic Obedience Course yesterday. Mary received Ares as a family re-homing situation at 7 weeks old. She had begun potty training and working on a few basic commands, before contacting me for professional assistance. Mary has had previous dogs, so she has very good "dog sense". While we worked on commands with Ares, we also worked on strengthening Mary's leadership skills. The two worked very well together, and will continue practicing every day!

JAX (1yr Jack Russell mix) completed his Puppy Basic Obedience Course today. Don rescued him about a month ago from his local shelter. His previous history was unknown, but we think he may have had some training. We obviously worked on all commands, some he "caught on" quickly, others took some work. But all-in-all he learned them all. He is a very sweet, high energy, smart pup and Don has his work cut out for him. But with the strengthening of his leadership skills, it will be a piece of cake for Don. We also introduced Jax to Don's neighbor friend's dog, Sammy. There are now many plans for future play-dates!

SAMMY (7yr Wheaton Terrier) completed his Advanced Basic Obedience Course today. Kathy acquired him as a "re-homing" situation four months again. He had had some previous training with his previous family but most of it had been "forgotten". There were also several behavioral issues Kathy wanted help with eliminating. Whatever we had discovered he knew, we just tweaked. What he didn't know, we taught him. We also worked on eliminating unnecessary barking, jumping, mouthing, and pulling on the leash. Kathy has a lot of good "dog-sense", so now that her leadership skills have been strengthen, they two of them are on their way! We also introduced Sammy to Kathy's neighbor friend's dog, Jax. It was a match, so many play dates are ahead!

GALAXY (5mo Lab mix) just completed his Puppy Basic Obedience Course. Rudy, Alicia, and Olivia brought Galaxy into their family in December '25. They had done all they could do on their own and then decided to get some professional help. Over the past month and a half, we have fine-tuned the commands that they had been working on as well as taught him all the ones he didn't know. Rudy and Alicia also developed stronger leadership skills along the way, which has helped Galaxy a lot. They will continue to work with him and we are planning on a follow-up session in a month or so. I am looking forward to seeing them all again!

WHISKEY (4mo Bernese Mt. Dog) completed his Puppy Basic Obedience Course yesterday. Carolina brought Whiskey into her family a month ago and began doing potty training and "sit" on her own. She then reached out to me for basic obedience training, not only for Whiskey but for herself as well. They both did extremely well! Whiskey was an eager and fast learner and Carolina quickly became a beloved Pack Leader. I look forward to a follow up and loose leash walking session once Whiskey gets his final round of vaccinations.

MILO (1yr Chihuahua mix) completed his Puppy Basic Obedience Course on Wednesday. Milo was rescued by Jenny, Diana's daughter, and is currently staying with Diana. Milo basically only knew "sit" and "drop". So, Diana wanted him to learn all commands, stop jumping and pulling on the leash. All commands have been learned, and Diana will continue working on teaching Milo not to pull by using the Sporn non-pull harness. Milo is a sweet little boy and loved learning. And do did Diana!

JETHRO (2yr Standard Poodle) completed his Basic Obedience Course on Thursday. He came to Alma as a "family re-homing" situation. He had had some training in hopes of becoming a service dog, so much of our training was tweaking what he already knew and teaching the commands he didn't know. It was also to help Alma strengthen her leadership skills. Pulling and lunging on the leash when other dogs were near was also an unwanted behavior that we worked on. A pinch collar was introduced and made an immediate difference. Alma will continue to work with him, while working on her new leadership skills. They make a great team!
