The Composed Canine Dog Training

Had the best brunch with the best crew today!

Ozzy the golden retriever enjoying the flowers and sunshine - classic. May we all aspire to enjoy the little things in life.

This will ALWAYS be one of my favorite training transformations (and proof that I have the privilege of working with the best humans and dogs ever). When Alex and Chase walked up to our first lesson, he was dragging her so intensely just getting from the car to the training area was dangerous. Now he walks like the sweetest most attentive gentleman and gets to hike off leash every Saturday exploring the Arizona desert. I LOVE watching their posts and getting little updates 🫶

Started training this little potato today! Mr Linny is starting training not only to work on obedience but also address some issues with resource guarding at a pretty young age.

His owners are doing the right thing by addressing it this early so we can build a lifetime of healthy habits for not only Linny but his owners as well.

Nails! 🐾

Keeping your dog’s nails trimmed is an essential part of good animal husbandry — and it’s also a great opportunity for training with every session.

When nails get too long, it can feel like walking in high heels all the time, affecting your dog’s comfort and posture. Nail care is important for every dog, but especially for our more timid pups — we want them to feel stable, confident, and strong on their feet.

This was Mochi’s very first nail session, and she handled it like a champ! 💪✨

There are tons of benefits from training your dog:
✔️ Taking them everywhere is a pleasure, not a burden
✔️ Their state of mind is healthier and more emotionally balanced
✔️ You get compliments on their behavior instead of dirty looks

But my favorite is that it makes taking cute pictures so much easier 🤪
