Pebbles - Week 0
Pebbles is part of the same family as Coco and Butter, but she’s coming into the program with a very different starting point. She’s extremely nervous, low-confidence, and easily overwhelmed by new environments, people, and pressure. She’s also incredibly quick and crafty—she’s slipped collars before, and during our first session she even tried to chew her way off the leash, so she’s now working on a chew-proof setup for safety. With dogs like Pebbles, the first phase of training isn’t about commands—it’s about building trust, confidence, and emotional stability. We’re going to move at her pace, create predictable routines, and help her feel safe enough to start learning. Once she understands the structure and begins to trust the process, we’ll layer in more formal training. She may take more time and care than her siblings, but she’s worth every ounce of effort. I’m excited to show you how she grows throughout the month.

Once she gets comfy, she's a little cuddler

Butter - Week 0
Butter is the third dog from this household joining our December program (along with Coco and Pebbles), and just like her sisters, she struggles with listening—especially when the energy in the house ramps up. When all three dogs get going, Butter tends to get swept up in the chaos, making it tough for her owners to get her attention or maintain any structure. Butter is going to go through the same transformation her sisters will: learning clear boundaries, reliable obedience, calm behavior in the home, and how to stay focused even when the other dogs are in the mix. Fun fact: their owners also have a fourth dog, Hank, who we trained recently. By the end of this month, all four dogs will finally be operating under the same communication system—and their owners will have peace, calm, and real order back in their home. Excited to show you how Butter settles into the program and grows right alongside her sisters.

Coco came 1st. A neighbor had a litter and needed homes for them. B4 they could get her momma spayed, she ended up pregnant again. We agreed to take another one but they showed up with 2 of the pups for me to pick which one 1 wanted. Yup...you guessed it...I couldn't say no to those beautiful faces. We named them Pebbles and Butter. All the girls are full sisters but 2 different litters. That was 6 years ago. Then last year my husband's friend had pups and volunteered to take one. Along came Hank who is all boy and all energy. One day he greeted me when I came home by excitedly running toward me and jumped to greet me, almost putting me through the living room window. I knew then I needed an extreme intervention. The vet recommended Jeff. He probably saved my life. However Hanks sisters were intent on undoing all Hank and Jeff's hard work. So my husband and I bit the financial bullet and now all three girls will be as well behaved as their brother.

Adjusting
Is anyone else still not use to their dogs being at home? I keep thinking I need to let our dogs out, feed them or waiting for them to bark when I hear another dog. 🤦♀️ This must be a period for the owners to decompress too. 😅

I have 4 fur babies. The latest addition to the family recently graduated from Jeff's training. I was having a lot of trouble keeping him trained because the other 3 girls were quite a distraction for him. We decided to put them in school so that all the dogs are on the same page. I miss them terribly but it's nice when the Amazon driver shows up and there's no pandemonium with them all barking and carrying on.
