Training That Heels

Our Boarding is open to dogs who have been through a balanced training program. Whether you are looking for someone to safely handle and manage your pup with behavioral issues or just looking to maintain commands, proper tool usage, routine, and structure in a home environment (and if it’s your pups thing, all the love!)

If you’re interested in boarding or want to connect for future possibilities, please email [email protected] to see if we would be a good fit for your pup! 🐾

🔴⚪🔵Happy Fourth! 🔴⚪🔵

To sum up:

Step 1:Teach a reliable system.

Step 2:Add in real life distractions

Step 3:Take your new system outside (low stimulation)

Steph 4:Kick it up a notch in higher stimulation areas. Here's probably where you work through what you originally wanted to address. I.E. your dog getting excited every time you pass another dog.

Those initial steps might feel like extra work when all you want is that one thing addressed BUT they are SO CRUCIAL to your success.

We start inside with every single dog. If you aren't getting consistency inside odds are you won't get it outside.

Hope that makes sense & helps shed some light on the process.

"What do I do when..."

Is how most questions we get start. Our answer is never really just "give your dog this command."

A big part of our jobs is helping owners learn a new order of operations so that they feel confident and capable of trouble shooting any situation that may come up with their dog.

It goes something like...

👉🏼How can you communicate beyond just your words?

👉🏼 Evaluate the situation, what job can you give your dog to focus on to help them be more successful?

👉🏼Is the push back genuine push back or confusion that you should work your dog through? This might mean breaking things down even further to help them understand.

That's the magic right there... It's what makes a great owner & leader.
