Dusty, Australian Shepherd puppy, in a lesson with his owner. We offer lessons during a dog’s board and train stay so it’s not overwhelming when they go home.

This particular lesson was for teaching an off leash recall with a ecollar and how to apply the ecollar correctly

Intro to drop with Bridger. The video cuts out as my phone died, but you can see where I let go of the toy when I notice he will not drop (I have to release possession).

First session with Bridger. Just trying to a feel him out. He is a mixed breed that struggles with resource guarding and separation anxiety.

Training session with fear reactive GSP. This was taken towards the end of her first week stay with us.

Willow, Dutch Shepherd puppy, is learning the rules of fetch and how to engage in a game that is fun for both parties, fair, and encourages cooperation.

Fear aggression can be caused by a number of things such as the dog’s genetic makeup, the environment the dog was raised in as a puppy (before 8 weeks), and the nurture and guidance we provide once we get said dog.

Essentially, to create a reliable obedience command, you need to create associations consistently so your dog can predict what’s coming next. The clearer they can predict, the faster and more precise your dog will perform.
