For those of you who’ve trained with us in the past: what was the moment that made you finally decide to invest in dog training? We ask because so many dog owners are standing right where you once stood wondering if training is “worth it,” questioning if they’re overreacting, or hoping things will magically improve on their own. If you’re comfortable sharing, drop your story below. You never know who might read your comment and realize they’re not alone, and that change is actually possible.

Merry Christmas everyone!

What questions concerns or random thoughts do you have with your final push to the holidays?? Remember we’re here to answer your questions and make your life easier so please don’t hesitate to ask!

We do triangle drills (almost) daily. We typically use the commands "kennel", "place", and "come". When Nara is in her kennel/told the kennel command she knows she has to stay in there until I give her the "free" command. So, of course, when doing triangle drills she hesitates to come out of the kennel when I give her a command that's not "free". Which is usually really great! However, it's weird when doing triangle drills to say "free", then another command almost immediately. Mostly because she then thinks we're just done with the triangle drills, walks off, and then I'm reigning her back in with another command to finish out session. Any suggestions?

The holidays are coming in hot (and so are the in-laws, the doorbells, the road trips and the chaotic living rooms).
