How much cuteness can you fit in one puppy?

Quite a lot when it comes to Miss Gracie! She is learning her bed cue, how to greet politely, coming when called and walking nicely on a loose lead.

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.

Stunning girls Sunny and Parsley had a fantastic loose lead walking session.

Young Sunny is full of puppy exuberance but channeled it beautifully into a calm connected walk.

Gomez is getting it done

Gorgeous Gomez has been working with his humans on some really tough struggles including separation related behaviours.

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.

Beautiful Bella is young and bouncy, so she is working on calmness and focusing.
