Digger Nails Loose Lead Walking

Digger nailing his loose lead walking today, frequent check-ins when he was released to go and sniff and his ability to disengage from other dogs is increasing! Great work team!

Does your dog know what you want? Teaching your dog how to walk on a loose lead, check in with you, disengage from the ducks and relax while taking in their environment makes for a happy dog and happy owner (or trainer). Great work Bushka!

Bronson

Gorgeous Rottweiler pup Bronson gets pretty excited when he is playing with his family out in the yard. Sometimes he doesn’t make the best choices when expressing his excitement…

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
