Loved working with this spunky girl and her awesome humans today.

Oh so Sassy!

Oh so Sassy! Such a beautiful girl - her human is helping her learn to disengage from the family’s horses and chickens (and cars... any movement really).

Sweet Zach doesn’t always come when he is called, but he will soon.

His mum is working on helping him engage with her and disengage from all of the distractions in the environment.

Bella demonstrating her grit (and getting a good reward for coming back)

Check out that grit! Bella loves tug and it is a great way way to reinforce her for coming back when called or for disengaging from movement.

Puppy Power

We spent our session working on calmness, focus, engagement and disengagement - these skills make for a dog who listens to you and has a solid recall.

Gorgeous Gypsy

I had a great session working with gorgeous little Gypsy the chocolate labrador and her dedicated people on Sunday. Gypsy is learning how to walk nicely on leash, come when called (hide and seek is particularly fun!) and show some self control around food
