Hey everyone! 👋 I know it can feel like once your dogs come home, the training is done — but the truth is, this is where you really finish it. In the dog training world, this is called proofing. Proofing is using your dog’s training in real life and testing it in more distracting or stressful situations. This is what turns training into something reliable, not just something that works in a quiet setting. Some examples of proofing: -Putting your dog on place while you cook dinner or watch a movie -Practicing recall while your kids are playing outside or while your dog is sniffing the yard -Using place or obedience after a play session -Using commands while people or dogs are passing by -Heeling with your dog while you walk to get the mail I like to think of proofing as simply using your dog’s training while you live your everyday life. So — what are some ways you’ve been proofing with your dog since they’ve been home? Drop a comment or share a picture below! 🐾📸

Hey everyone! I wanted to check in and see how things have been going since your dog came home from training. What’s been going well? Any wins you’re proud of? Anything you’re feeling stuck on or unsure about? Share as much or as little as you’d like—this is a safe place to ask questions and celebrate progress 💛 @Cameron Mann @Da'Shawn Mann @Kalob Andrews @Courtney Andrews @Holly Endruschat @Stacie Rhoades

How is everyone's weekend home with the pups going?

Gaia and Skye munching on their elk bones in PLACE! Not fighting over them and super chill! 😍

Check Gaia out! She hasn't paid any attention to Gibbs the entire training session in the kitchen. So proud of her 😊 @Cameron Mann @Da'Shawn Mann
